    Looks like a little Mexican kitchen even the tables give you that vibe it's a little hole in the wall just a quick stop to pick up something for the road since I was making a delivery next door I ordered 3 tacos and a coke the Asada taco was super greasy and the 2 alpastos were basically adobada meat not alpastor and they were greasy also besides it being less then $11 bucks the best thing was the ice cold coke definitely won't be coming back

    Caldo de camarón y Mole!

    First time here, the food was amazing I had caldo de camarón and my husband had mole it was delish. Even the salsa and chips where tasty! I had agua de piña y naranja fresca really good. My hubby had a café de olla it was delish too! Definitely coming here agin to taste the rest of the menu. Recommend if you like authentic Mexican food!

    Hice un a orden por teléfono y me dejaron un mensaje en el buzón diciéndome cosas. Por comida bien cara no deben de portarse así. Si no quise recoger la orden no la hubiera hecho. Muy mal servicio.

    Limonada de pepino y chía

    This place is so good!! Great coffee, Aguas frescas, delicious food & tortillas hecha a mano. 10/10

    Chilaquiles verdes

    I first discovered this little gem about 2 years ago after having grown up in Paramount! Idk how I missed it but glad I finally found it! Lol. Here's what I loved about this place: Their cute colorful Mexican decor and of course, the delicious food. I particularly enjoy the chilaquiles verdes which come with rice, beans, & a tasty little quesadilla made with a handmade tortilla! Haven't tried the red bc the staff advised the green are less spicy, lol. The portions are big! I did notice the prices have gone up but really that's everywhere nowadays and at least they give you a good amount of food for the price! They served me and my friend about 5 minutes after we ordered! That's definitely a win for me! Also, they serve you not only chips & salsa but yummy frijoles to dip your chips in too! Their dishes are actual Mexican clay designed which give your pictures that extra authentic look! Nothing like some cafe de olla served in an authentic little Mexican mug. I'm also glad they now have indoor seating again too, but if it's a nice day, their outdoor patio is nice to sit in also. I'm now a regular customer.

    Such a great place for authentic Mexican food!! A little more on the expensive side but it's because the plates are enough for two people. Start you off with chips salsa and beans!!! Service is quick and tortillas are homemade. Definitely a good spot in paramount!

    Costco salsa w no flavor

    Went there for breakfast and their prices have skyrocketed. I ordered chilaquiles w eggs and carne al gusto. I asked the waitress instead of carne asada could I do chorizo she said yes. I asked for a cafe de olla. The food came and it came w the carne asada and gave me a piece of chorizo on the side ‍ then the coffee came and it was like sock water not strong at all. But the thing that pissed me off the most was the fact that the salsa they are using are not home made they are the salsas I get from costco...todas aguadas y sin flavor and they used the green salsa for my chilaquiles. If they are going to charge $26 for the chilaquiles at least make ur own salsa. So for the chilaquiles 1 coffee and the side of chorizo it was $41 bucks. Never again I'm very disappointed.

    Love this family staple in southeast LA. My family has been coming here for years, and it's easy to…read moresee why. The owners are super humble and deeply supportive of the community, which makes me want to back them even more. My go‑tos are the *taco uyi yu yui* and the *tostada pirata (no fish)* always hits. The vibes are classic traditional Mexican mariscos, and honestly, you can never go wrong with that.

    I was in the area and was hungry for Mexican Food. This restaurant came up, and here we are…read more The place is simple nothing fancy. If it weren't for the very loud music playing, I would not have known this was a Mexican restaurant. We ordered Fish and Shrimp Ceviche tostadas, but it was ok not the best I ever had. Tostadas had more Cucumbers and Tomatoes than Fish or Shrimp, and to make it worse, it was soaked in some kind of unidentifiable watery juice which made the hard Tostada soggy. What prompts M E Perihuete to soak a hard Tostada shell with water? unbelievable! The Chilaquiles were bad. They were so spicy I could not taste my food. Overall, the service was bad the lady who served us was busy laughing and giggling with the male customers instead of attending to her tables. I have to say the obvious about the waitresses here, to be as nice as I can put it, their lips stand out as plungers, the chest, and behind well, so obvious they were not normal... The service was bad and the food was not the best. Pricey. Plenty of parking.
