2 Huevos (over easy) Estrellados Con Chile Verde with rice and beans

Went after church and were there just in time because the little place filled up fast. The greeting was ok. Salsa and chips were brought out, the chips were light and crispy and the salsa was unique and good. I say unique because many restaurants have their take on salsa and Lalo's salsa was not just the run of the mill salsa. I had 2 Huevos (over easy) Estrellados Con Chile Verde with rice and beans. The dish had chunks of pork in Chile Verde with two eggs on top. The Chile Verde was very tasty and the beans and rice was good. All in all a very nice breakfast. My wife has a Chile Relleno with beans and rice. The filling was very good and tasty sauce. Prices were in line with other restaurants except the bottle water price was a little steep and it might help if you were told to pay at the counter.

Parking

Female Owner in grey truck and Employee are rude. Standing in parking spot blocking me from being able to park in front of their restaurant. Only been to this place one time before and will not return. Food is overpriced and not very good. Had the breakfast burrito.

Chilaquiles with carne asada

Came in yesterday for lunch intending on having some Chile verde with beans and rice. Then I saw a sign on the door that said 'tortitas de Camaron con nopales'. Like whhhhhaaaatttt? I remember my mom making these for lent as a kid. I have never seen these at a restaurant. I was so excited and ordered them. These were much spicier than the ones my mother used to make but just as (or even more) delicious. Made my day to have a childhood meal.

All I got was 2 sopes WITHOUT rice or beans and 1 horchata and I was charged almost $17! According to their menu sopes are $4 but I was in a rush to get back to work so I just paid. I'll never be coming back here. It's sad they have one price on the menu and charge you a ton when you go to pay

Breakfast
Devianna C.

Located next to the 711 on citrus, this place is a definite must have! Very happy with my brunch choice, chilaquiles, very yummy. I read some of the reviews and saw a complaint that $16 is steep for chilaquiles but I totally disagree in this case. Chilaquiles verde (the amount of spice spot on), with a sunny side up egg (cooked perfectly), rice and beans that taste home made (fresh and delicious).Oh and chicken! I added chicken into my chilaquiles and it just brought it all together. Sometimes chicken can be too hard, or flavorless or just simply doesn't taste good but that is most definitely not the case here. The entire meal was very good. Great size portion I would gladly come back and get it again but I think next time I'll try something else because if this was good I wonder how their other entrees taste. They even give a little baggy of chips, perfectly crunchy, not over salted and not stale. I ordered over the phone; the staff was polite and patient with my indecisiveness. I was greeted right away when I walked in. There's a good amount of tables and chairs to sit. The restaurant was clean and they even have snacks to offer, and drink options in a fridge. Over all I'm very very pleased with my breakfast. It's such a good portion size I'll even have left overs for later.

I also don't appreciate the poor attitude that two of the bartenders have been displaying lately. They have favorites and it shows a lot. I understand that when it's time to close it's time to close and go. But if you're serving other people and treating those same people nicer because they're your favorites, well that's not cool. In the end we're all patrons. We all support when consuming. But above all, it's the poor attitude that I will never pay for. I used to like coming here often. I probably will never again. I also know that occasionally in the bar they overcharge for cocktails thinking customers will not notice because they've been drinking and bartenders refuse to adjust the check. This is terrible and now you know.

They do not skimp on their portions and actually care how their food looks at the time of service. This place makes sure their food looks nice, but don't charge you extra for that. Service: 5 out of 5 their employees are very pleasant and professional. They gladly answer all your foodie ingredient questions. They are more than accommodating. You will see, they are genuinely nice. As far as the ambience goes, for certain a stro g 4 out of 5. Nothing can be more comforting than to sit back and relax here. They have hi tables woth stools, as well as the hybrid style booth/table combo. Fans are always circulating and it is definitely not too stuffy. They do have music playing in the background, but it is not too loud like many places do. We have been back to try new and different dishes....all have been very tasty. A smaller and cozy place to have a nice meal. I can tell they cater to the local college students and offer a student discount. ***Hidden Bonus: their café de la olla is DELICIOUS! You can twll they make it fresh regularly and do not let it sit. It is by far waaaaay nicer than what they serve anywhere in the area. We would drive to get a nice cup in Monrovia, but this café de la olla beats it hands down. It is NOT bitter, nor is it over sweetened! So.etimes we swing by for a To-good cup. We recommend this place for everything: nice food served with a friendly smile.

We got complimentary totopos (chips), pico de gallo, red salsa and refried beans to start. Wow! The refried beans were sooooo good! So flavorful! The chips were delicious too. You can tell they're homemade. The cashier was nice when taking our order. The menudo had good flavor but we didn't care for the hominy since we're not use to eating it with menudo, only with pozole. The meat was cut in tiny pieces. We also had the chilaquilicious chilaquiles which consisted of the chilaquiles with carne asada, bacon and eggs. 1/2 salsa roja and 1/2 salsa verde. The portion was good, however the green salsa can use more flavor. It seemed plain. The red one was better for my taste, it had a Smokey chipotle flavor. Not hot at all. The carne asada could use more salt or seasoning too, seemed a little plain. We tried their salsa macha (chili oil) omg soooo goood and the perfect amount of spiciness. We took home what we didn't finish. I hate wasting something so delicious. Overall a solid 4.

There are two Fridays left if you want to partake in the seasonal dishes offered during this time, please bookmark this restaurant. We ordered the two Specials of the Day (Fri., 3/28/25): 1. Tortitas de Camaron con Mole with Nopales and Roasted potatoes (ground breaded Shrimp into small Patties with cactus) $15, served with thick handmade corn tortillas. 2. Capirotada (bread pudding with peanuts & raisins in syrup) $10. We also had Enchiladas in Poblano Mole. Each entree included a cup of Fideo soup, a side of rice and beans. I could not resist the Cafe de Olla (Mexican coffee brewed with a cinnamon stick), this was served with two cookies in a ceramic mug. This is how you would be served in someone's home. I was stunned when they brought it to me. The food was authentic, delicious, good portions. You will love how the food is plated and presented in ceramic dishes (pottery). We didn't finish and brought the rest home for dinner. I literally was transported back to my childhood, when my grandmother would cook these two same dishes during Lent. The hospitality, decor and service makes you feel like you're home. The food restrictions is part if a religious tradition, but anyone can eat these foods. There are only two Fridays left, mark your calendar now. Enjoy and don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary sent ya!

I've really enjoyed my meals and the service (we even had a small spill on the table). It's a smaller restaurant but they do an excellent job on serving you throughout your visit and have some good music playing. You'll start off with chips and salsa which is good not too spicy. Food has been excellent! My daughter kept saying delicioso (Can you say delicioso? *Dora the explorer*) haha. We've made multiple trips since our first time. Carne en su juego had a great tasting salsa. Sopes had a nice crunchiness to them. Chile relleno was very good and juicy. The enchiladas were all very good. One of the things I've enjoyed are tbe hand made tortillas, it's hard to find now a days. They have aguas frescas and it's actually fresh so they may only have one or two each day. Cafe de Olla was good, sweet but I like it (sweet tooth in me) and comes with a cookie. The baño aka restroom also has a changing table (yes no changing the baby on my lap!). We will continue to enjoy the food, service and Mas despacito. God bless
