    Asada Quesadilla. Warm. Tasty. Soft.
    Carl N.

    El Borrego de Oro offers good food and service. Its interior is very simple yet clean, organized and well lit; very typical Mexican restaurant. We came here on a Sunday brunch. I ordered Asada Quesadilla y cafe con leche. The quesadilla was warm, soft, and tasty. Coffee was surprisingly good. Prices are very affordable. Staff were competent and professional. Service was moderately fast. Overall, I had a good brunch experience.

    Lots of drinks to chose from.

    We when in on a Saturday morning, when they had just opened. 8:15 to be exact. They took a while for them to serve the food and I ordered quesadillas and my hubby ordered Menudo. They were ok, they lack flavor and I wouldn't order them again. My hubby's Menudo was ok as well. We had to take his Menudo home because they took long to serve his food and I ate mostly by myself, we had to ask for ice since it was too hot when it came in. I don't think I would come back, many other places to chose from. Gave them 3 stars because server was nice and attentive.

    What we had to sit next to after cleaning up our own table to eat

    ***reply to comment. I address my concerns to you about the service and all you can say is that you were busy. And if your going to insult someone calling them to faced you have to check your grammar it's "two" not "to"*** Dirty tables after people have left and when we asked where we can sit they said anywhere. Where where? All tables were dirty we had to clean our own tables. When we ordered our drinks and food at the same time. Our drinks seem to have gotten forgotten and brought after our food. Come on everyone was already served. The pansita was more chili than meat. We ordered regular coffee that seem watered down. Came on recommendation but will never return. Have caution

    Ordered the pound of barbacoa sin hueso comes with handmade tortillas good enough for 2 people. The barbacoa was really good. Server was nice gave us a complementary consome de borrego which was also very good!

    Barbacoa taco :)

    delicious place to come try out authentic Mexican food. The speciality of the house is the Barbacoa (lamb) wich is steamed and goes well with the consome. I've tried different plates everytime I go and all have been really good.

    Under Seasoned and dry.

    Food was good, but priced a bit high for standard Mexican fare. Specially with so many Mexican restaurants in the area.

It's a sit down meal & a server takes your order. Our server was efficient and checked on us once and that was it. We ordered: Machaca (with beans and rice, menudo & chilaquiles. Our food arrived shortly. Decent portions. My husband ordered and forgot to order the red sauce for my chilaquiles. It was good but I prefer the green sauce. The server said it was hotter (spicier) than the red sauce so it might've been best that I got the red sauce instead. Hubby said his Machaca was average & he had better. All in all, it hit the spot to kill the hunger & I took the rest of the menudo home. The experience was average yet I find myself thinking that we would've been better off at Macho Cafe which was closer to us from home. The reception there was warmer.

Aside from that the Breakfast burrito with Chorizo was good. The Rice and beans were good... I got the Chilaquiles but if I were to ever go back (which more than likely will not be happening) I would order the burrito again. The steak was chewy (that remark is from my 10 year old granddaughter who ordered it). Plenty of parking in the lot adjacent and seating outside on a hot day would probably be nice in their breezeway that looks like a garage. Respectfully Reviewed.

My family and I are in Montebello every weekend & crave tacos. But most street taco stands don't open till 3pm. We were drawn in by their instagram posts & how they open at 11am. They have $1 tacos EVERY DAY (carne asada is the only meat that is $2, but that's still a great deal). Sometimes when I go to other taco spots their meat is chewy/fatty. But this spot did not have the chewy meat. It was well done! We did the 8 tacos + 1 drink for $10. We ordered all meats except chorizo and can say they were all delicious - chicken was my personal favorite. Can't wait to come back

We wanted to give the food a try because of the great reviews we read online. Those must be from friends and family because not only was it not good, but it was super expensive. I had a chile relleno burrito with Carne asada for $17. Most of it was rice and although I have no complaints about the Chile relleno, the meat was inedible. Most of it was fat. My husband had a chile relleno plate for $17. The chele relleno again was OK but the rice and beans were not good at all. My son had the burrito with chicken. Yes the burritos are huge but you're basically paying for rice and beans with a little bit of chicken for $17. The agua frescas were $7 each. They were OK but for seven dollars definitely overpriced. We wanted so much to like this place for the reviews, but do yourself a favor and don't spend your time or money.

I ordered a wet burrito and specifically requested no beans, but to add cilantro and onion. While I was placing my order, I felt like the cashier was rushing me, and I don't think my request was heard correctly. The burrito came out with beans, which is the one thing I had asked to leave off. When I brought it back, I was told my ticket said "plain." I explained that I had only asked for no beans and wanted everything else, including cilantro and onion. They remade it, and this time the cilantro and onion were added, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the food itself was still very disappointing. The burrito had almost no flavor, no salsa inside, and the wet sauce tasted more like spaghetti sauce than a traditional enchilada or wet burrito sauce. It wasn't what I expected at all. At nearly $15 for one burrito, I expected much better quality and a better overall experience. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but I hope this feedback helps because there is definitely room for improvement in both customer service and the food.
