Food is tasty and price is worth it. Bring cash though. I don't believe they take cards and have an ATM inside.

Chicken enchiladas are the best the food you get is so good and I enjoy it as well the service is awesome.

Great food. It tastes homemade. I had the chile relleno and they taste just like my mom's. Have also tried the carne asada, they use ranchera meat, it was cooked perfectly. Handmaid tortillas! read more

The menudo was ok, just gor my taste it doesn't need tomato on the broth, tortillas good, agua Fresca good as well. Things to work on, how about a smile from The young server, more customer service, and the cash only needs to definitely go, I hate places like this, how about Zelle, Venmo, Clover system, If I knew that it was only cash , would have gone to another place, ill check it out un a couple of months see if there is any updates read more

On the border of Montebello, East LA and Commerce. I appreciate the atmosphere. Help keep this great tasting, authentic home style Mexican restaurant open. Give it a try. read more

This place survived through COVID closures unlike other of our favorite local restaurants. We have been there twice and so far it has been a pleasant experience. It is a small Mexican for restaurant. The food tastes like home made Mexican food my mom makes. We ordered from the breakfast menu two plates or chilaquiles rojos with meat one of their pancakes, egg, and sausage order. Everything was delicious. I also tried their tasty champurrado. On our second visit we ordered a carne asada green chili wet burrito. My father said it was huge and good. My mom ordered the green chili chilaquiles with rice, beans and scrambled eggs. I tried them and thought they were ok. Red chili wet we also had the red chili enchiladas with beef that were delicious. Overall we are happy and satisfied with the food and the service. Oh, the prices are also affordable. read more

La Cenaduria - Torta de milanesa de res (beef) - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My car told me to go here so I did. Machaca plate was delicious. Contained jalapeños so it was a tad spicy. The beans and rice were authentic. The refried beans tasted like beans and the rice had a slight garlic abd tomato flavor but very slight. I keep trying to make beans like these Mexican grandmas (I saw her in the kitchen) but I never quite do it. If I season my beans they taste like the seasoning. The abuela frijoles just taste like beans but I could eat a plateful. Amazing. read more

Saturday morning came hungry and ordered what I was craving. I don't recall ever eating here but always drive by. I sat down and menu was offered. I said pozole please. Brought me chips and sala.

Love this hidden treasure. The cooks and staff are so nice and welcoming. When I don't feel like cooking this is my favorite place, just like my grandmas cooking! So many options. My favorite are Chiles Rellenos, tostadas de Tinga & sopes!! The owner is so nice!! read more

Food is good but overpriced ... walking distance so convenient ... salsa is great but inconsistent sometimes super spicy and at times good to taste read more

Eating in a restaurant that has hundreds of Yelp reviews, feels a bit like going on a date with a slutty woman. Like sticking my fork where many have been before. Clocking at a modest 22 Yelp reviews at the time of writing, La Cenaduria is different... chaste, innocent and blushing. So I am thinking that - if the food is OK - maybe we can go steady. You know me, right? A true romantic at heart! With amorous thoughts in mind, Jonathan Silver takes to the road, like a lone Samurai wandering the land, armed with his legendary tastebuds. The City of Commerce looks like a post-apocalyptic world: miles of gigantic commercial storages surrounded by barbed wire and security cameras. The traffic noise spilling from the 5 freeway is trapped and amplified between the endless walls, bouncing around like an angry pinball, before escaping upwards with a dying howl. La Cenaduria sits at a busy intersection on Garfield avenue, wrapped around the rounded corner of a low building. It looks nice and recently remodeled. I park in the back and walk through the front door. Ding! It's pretty warm inside and no customers in sight. The bright yellow tables and white booths with red trim have a definite Pollos Hermanos vibe, so I look around for Gus Frings to show up and take my order. Luckily only Blancanieves and Estelfa are at the counter, behind the colorful Aguas Frescas containers. Blanca walks me to a table with a menu, while Sergeant Estelfa stands at attention by the cooking range. This is literally the first time I've ever been waited on by someone named Snow White (Blancanieves, in Spanish). I glance at the menu and inquire about the specials; today is Bistec Ranchero. I say "bring it on Snow White", even though that wouldn't have been my first choice. Mexicans are not known for steak, but that's the special today, so fuck it. Bistec Ranchero reminds me a little bit of Italy's carne all' uccelletto or straccetti, little pieces of flattened beef sauteed with garlic, bay leaf, olive oil, salt and pepper. Typical from the region around Genoa, it's a simple and tasty dish but it requires a bit of skillful cooking or the meat may turn out tough. Of course, this being a Mexican dish, I expect it to be spicy! The Bistec, in fact, arrives doused in hot sauce, laid out in a large plate adorned with refried beans, Spanish rice, sliced avocado, green salad, fresh sliced tomatoes and grilled Chile Anaheim topped with melted cheese. Three nachos are surgically implanted into the beans, forming a miniature Mexican Stonehenge. Bubbly, handmade tortillas and the obligatory chips with sauce accompany this dish to its fateful date with Señor Silverado's salivating trap. As I expected, the meat is not exactly melt-in-your mouth. It tastes very good, but it does require a spirited molar-party. Maybe Estelfa should talk to Señor Guisados... that man can turn any meat into mush! It tastes good, however, so I dig in without bitching. All the sides are fresh and tasty, but the show-stopper is the grilled Anaheim peppers with cheese. What a pleasant surprise! Jonathan Gold would describe them as "glistening with oil, pungent with capsicin americana and with a smoky flavor reminiscent of dry-aged Chaparral". Goldie knows dozens of different ways to say "tasty"! The food goes down the very smoothly, abetted by coffee spiked with canela and the people here are very very nice. Mid-meal I am introduced to Marko Mendoza, the owner, who tells me a little bit about the history of the joint, his past as a screenwriter, then gifts me a nice coffee mug with the logo of La Cenaduria. I already feel at home here! Full-bellied, I leave the cafe' right before Marko and I become Carnales through blood-pact and I am invited to his niece's Quinceañera. However I am only allowed to leave after I promise to be back for 50-cent Taco Tuesday (Wednesdays too!) And trust me, those tacos are worth the drive! This joint is definitely not the place you go for neo-Mexican, Oaxaca-Fusion or Michoacan-Paleo, it's robust and classic Mexican food that fills you up. La Cenaduria may not be the hottest date you've ever had, but she treats you well! read more

Loved my first time here. Brought by a friend who spoke highly of this place I trusted the praise and sure enough, I totally agree. I appreciated having their own parking lot and street parking available, we walk in and immediately the place is clean and decorated with a welcoming appeal. In solidarity, I ordered a caldo like my friend did - she ordered caldo de res while I went with caldo de pescado -- tasty. We each got a delicious agua - she went with pina, I went with sandia -- fresh & refillable!! Our caldos came with handmade tortillas -- yum! This all followed the complimentary chips and salsa and my friend got up to bring back a bowl of cacahuates -- woohoo. Friendly staff, accepts cards, clean restroom and well stocked. Definitely interested in returning soon. read more

It's been 6+ Months since I've been here and if you caught my original review they left me not wanting to return, so why am I back? Well the Owner reached out, apologized and said they've made changes... that's more than I can say for most places so I thought they deserved another try. The menu is still pretty basic, if they did actually add some dishes I couldn't tell you what the changes or additions are, the lady cooking seemed to be the same lady as my previous visit, again the place was mostly empty. Tampiquena - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-cenaduria-los-angeles?select=W75jv3AqbBBgmP2j1E5isg Looks nice, unlike my prior visit the Carne Asada http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-cenaduria-los-angeles?select=UrXkk9k2pz4cUxgywF5XNQ was a bit tough and lacking flavor, not sure if they've changed meat sources or the cut they use as beef prices rise, but this was night and day different in a bad way. Enchilada - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-cenaduria-los-angeles?select=7gmgcwvqIgz1BaBEfjSWlw A basic Cheese enchilada done well Ensalada de Nopales - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-cenaduria-los-angeles?select=mHhqsEjwif6rrwkCLpr9-A Needed just a bit of salt but best thing on the plate! Arroz y Frijoles - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-cenaduria-los-angeles?select=HcijrS8jf6YJa9BJZTO8dQ The rice was pretty bland and the beans were just OK Pozole - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-cenaduria-los-angeles?select=SrAEctdD7aQtwv60hOHR8Q Nice chunks of lean tender Pork http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-cenaduria-los-angeles?select=O2wsQ6P-SjcsJJ_4t3QdpQ but the Consomme/Caldo/Broth was as bland as WATER, I can't even say watered down tomato sauce I got NO flavor #JustBad While you are friendly people and I love supporting small business, I will not return and you seriously need to step up your game or you'll be closing your doors before you know it. I'm guessing here but would BET most of these 5-Star reviews are FAKE! especially those one liners..... read more

I walked in to order 1 gordita de carnitas and 1 sope de asada to go. Total was around $5.40. They said it was 15 min. Wait for that. I said nevermind, can I have something else please. They said sure we have the plate of the day. I said great what is it. Trosos de puerco in green salsa with rice and beans. My total for that was $7.60. IT WAS 5 TINY PIECES OF MEAT IN GREEN SALSA WITH RICE AND BEANS. WHAT A RIP OFF! ! read more

I really enjoyed this place as the food is very tasty and very enjoyable however, this New Year they just without any waring up the prices which is fine when they do so for even a buck but they up the meals to 13.00 a plate which is the norm for most Mexican plate it just that its a bit much It may sound petty however , it would have been nice to advise of such a change read more

When i walked in for lunch, it wasn't too busy. I was pretty ignored for a good five minutes before being given burnt chips and had my order taken. The Caldo de Res lacked flavor (the veggies were horrible) and had two fatty pieces of meat. I never received the glass of water I asked for nor the enchilada I ordered. It was my first and last time here. read more
