This place is great I always see it busy and finally got to try it! We ordered a variety of food and loved it- my favorite were the tacos de papa. It's a true authentic Mexican restaurant that I have been desperate for since moving to OC. Lorena was so nice to my sister and I and we look forward to going back. read more

Food was good. Lady that took my order was great. The boy who took payment was weird. Charged me $30 for a can soda and the mole plate..? I paid $35.00 and so not plan to go back unfortunately. read more

Man this place reminds me of the old pueblos of Mexico which is super awesome! It's located in the city of cypress And parking is kinda of small so be careful . The environment is super simple but super homey and welcoming The servers were also super helpful I was greeted by the nicest cashier The price is kind of high but it's definitely worth it you can definitely taste the quality of the food ! I got a torta and a drink and in total paid 18 and change which wasn't bad The taste of the actual food Is amazing! The bread was fresh and overall everything was super tastey! All in all I'll definitely be back! read more

First time visiting from out of town, found this place while searching for a good spot to eat. Overall super great food and amazing service. My family order two plates of the Chilaquiles, one red and one green, the chorizo and eggs and a huarache. We also got an orange juice, jamaica and horchata. Honesty recommended all of it, and that's coming from a Hispanic family who knows how these dishes should taste like. Everything had great flavor and good portions. Also super reasonable prices. If I lived closer this would definitely be a staple location for my family. read more

Caldo Tlalpeño Great flavor, delicious tortillas handmade. Excellent service, I will keep coming back. I tried the Caldo Tlalpeño, the people working there really care about their food and the service, I noticed other customers enjoying their food. Thank you to their staff, your food is delicious read more

Food has not improved and remains in poor quality. We first ordered from their menu about two years ago. It was a disappointment then and continues today. read more

Don't let this small restaurant fool you, it is very delicious! I'd say a hidden gem only locals will know. They have good authentic food and a wide selection of meats. Highly recommend to anyone that is into Mexican food. My only issue is that it is pretty small, they should have outdoor seating as well. read more

This is my favorite hole in the wall in all of OC. They have my personal favorite (all day long), Chilaquiles. And you can't go wrong with a wet burrito with salsa verde, with a side of habanero salsa. So delicious! It is cash only, but they have an ATM. Everything is made fresh. I also tried the chicken tlalpeño, which is similar to menudo, and that was spicy, rich, and flavorful. Definitely would return here to try the menudo! Make sure to come before or around lunchtime before they run out! also, the staff is very polite, attentive, and friendly. can't beat that!! read more

I have been a customer at this location over the past years and had enjoyed the general quality and level of service previously provided at this establishment. There was often a welcoming atmosphere with attentive servers and management. That has NOT been the case with my most recent visit under the new management. While previous management had been raising costs as in recent months/years in response to changes, the new management has taken over and arbitrarily hiked prices. Getting utensils and even napkins was a chore under the new establishment - costs for the most menial things such as a SINGLE pepper was $4. The quality of service provided does not justify the costs with plenty of main entree items going up by over 25%. The person who is presumably the manager had a terrible attitude and was more interested in collecting the bill than ever meeting the needs of the customer - showing clear disinterest despite positioning himself to service customers. Higher costs, lower quality service, and disinterested management, would not recommend read more

Amazing place to come and enjoy with your family service and food are amazing service here. I really recommend it they are friendly and very helpful!!!! read more

Delicious food very friendly costumers service. We had the pleasure to meet the new owner very nice guy . Highly recommend.

The mole poblano is easily 6 stars. That sauce...(swoon)! Smoky and dark in color and slightly sweet with a spicy kick, served over a perfectly cooked juicy chicken thigh and drumstick; $10.99. The dish comes with three tortillas which are as thick as they come. I was in awe how fluffy they were in spite being about 1.5x the regular width. The Brawny man would be blown away how amazing a job those tortillas were for soping up that mole sauce! My 3 y/o son and hubs got the taquito plate and beef enchiladas with green sauce; both $7.99 each. The rice and beans are ok...its the main item that steals the spotlight. The taquitos were made from those same thick tortillas and had an amazing crunch! Just a note, they come covered in lettuce & crema, so if you like them uber crunchy like I do, I'd ask for it on the side or not at all. The green enchiladas were tasty, moist and delicious...my Hubs says the meat was really good and the best part of his meal. We both agree the staff was amazing and very nice....even though there was a language barrier. Only 1 gentleman speaks English & he was not there until right before we left. p.s. Signs were up everywhere saying they are currently not taking credit cards. I would say it is safe to assume this is a cash only establishment. There's a ATM at the liquor store next door. read more

1000/10 definitely recommend this place! I have been coming here since I was little and it's still and always will be my favorite Authentic Mexican food place! The Green Chicken Enchiladas are sooo good (but spicy) ! read more

I just wana say this that this was my Second Time visiting this place,and will not be coming back for the Bad Customer Service,I mean if you're the owner of this Place how you gonna get Upset about people asking you about the ingredients in your Food,maybe I am allergic or my wife is also why you assume I know how you food is prepared if its my second time trying you place read more

A rainy day in an area I don't know well and I was hungry. The eye catching decor was pretty authentic that it was not a chain. Poster boards with handwritten Spanish words. Sure... I will take an adventure and try it. I was just hungry. Spoke with another patron with her baby and she told me their mole is really good and everything is good. Yelp didn't have much reviews. So I asked my waiter.. what is good? I think he just recommend this poster on the wall that had grilled cactus, beef, chicken, and chorizo with a side of beans. It was served in this hot bowl (a bowl that you would usually smash things in like a guac smasher stone bowl) It was good, but I think I paid a little too much for this dish. My bill came to 22bucks. (With diet coke) This was the Luchadora Azteca... It hit the spot. Service was just okay. It was cash only, and I used their ATM machine located right in front of their cashier. read more

Excellent food for the longest time but they should consider expanding because place gets full really quick at times.

Great Mexican breakfast with Mike and Joe! Best home made tortilla's I have had in a long time. I got the chorizo with fried eggs layered on top with carne asada layered on top. It may not have been on the menu, the the person taking my order was able to make it work. When in LA, you gotta go to the places that aren't all shiny and fancy. This place fits the bill:-) read more

Fonda La Meche No 1 - Love my chorizo con huevos breakfast plate!! - Mexican Near Me - Stanton, California

Little hole in the wall. Do they always get the order right? No. It's like 90% of the time right, which is why my husband doesn't like to go here, BUT, I refuse to give it up because their machaca burritos are the freakin BEST! There are no other places in the area that even compare, seriously (and they have never gotten that order wrong). Their red salsa is perfection. Their pupusas are pretty legit too, especially for this being a Mexican joint and not a Salvadorian one. I really enjoy this little shop, the only reason I can't give it a full 5 stars is because it's been several occasions with wrong orders. read more

Great food, stopped in for some Chile Rellenos and Huasteco. We really enjoyed our meal. It's a little Gem of a hole in the wall . T he only issue is parking, the stalls are narrow. Cash only. read more

amazing place Love the fact they have good customer service I love the new changes they have made at this location the new management is

Lived in Stanton my whole child hood never tried this restaurant until recently , regretted not coming before. The tórtillas I get with my caldo de olla are amazing. Food is great and fresh. It's a small restaurant, but food is great. I highly recommend to people and they get phone orders if you want to come in and out read more

Hair in one of the popusas we ordered. We took back the popusa and there was no apology from the owner. All he said was "what do you want me to do about it" super rude!!!! He didn't loose one customer he lost 5. We got a refund for the hairy popusa $3 whole dollars WOW! read more

Their food is authentic Mexican. I have tried mole poblano and Milanesa. Both of them are good. I used paid $12 for the mole poblano but last two times they charged me $23.00. I am not sure if they made a mistake or prices went up that high. read more

I usually only come here for one thing and thats their Mole de la olla AKA Mexican beef stew in a pot (una olla). Its the best here, well next to my mama's own take on it! What is in it you ask?? Well i'd be glad to tell you. It has.... tender beef chuck, large pieces of potato, a piece of elote and large pieces of zucchini swimming in a rich bouillon flecked with chile. It is on the spicy side so be forewarned when trying this delish stew out! Tortillas are handmade and served warm with that fresh just made taste you cant find anywhere nowadays! And if that doesnt excite you then they also have made-to-order aguas frescas with fresh fruit! Try the lemon mango!! read more

Little place in the corner of Katella & Western. The food is so so good, the barbacoa de chivo doesn't have the strong/overwhelming sense it usually does- it was perfect. I'm not a fan of barbacoa for that same reason but this place got it right. The consume is so strangely flavorful & almost addicting- again not a fan but this place nailed it. The workers are very welcoming & friendly! :) read more

[restaurant] What is kind of interesting is if you use google maps, you can actually enter the restaurant and look around. For a 'dive' place it is pretty clean and well decorated (other than the kind of weird excessive warning signs) [mole poblano - chicken mole with sesame seeds - 9.99] The chicken comes with one drumstick and one thigh with beans and rice. The mole sauce is pretty good, with 3 REALLY fresh tortillas. I'm not a mole connoisseur, but it wasn't too salty and had a nice chocolaty flavor to it. In fact the tortillas are hand made (you really can taste the difference) [salsa] Their mild salsa is INSANELY spicy. It is like just pure heat and no salt. There amazingly is a spicier salsa if you dare. [chips] Freshly fried chips with no salt. I actually really appreciate getting chips with no salt because I can add as much was I need myself later. [horchata] This seriously was one of the best horchata's I've ever had. One of my biggest complaints of horchatas in most restaurants is it is either too sweet or too cinnamon. This horchata hits the perfect balance of the rice water with salt. [overall] Prices are a little high for a dive, but the care of the food is pretty good. I really appreciate the food not being too salty with fresh made tortillas and awesome horchata. read more

Mixed bag. Chicken mole poblano was very good. Very nutty mole. Chile rellenos were weak. The batter was sweet and the sauce was thin. Hand made tortillas. Waitresses speak English (if you care). read more
