This place is conveniently located by the 605 fwy. They offer a few parking spots right at front and some available near the other shopping section. As we walked in we were greeted by a nice lady, she offered us to seat wherever we liked and the menus are already on the table between the glass. They have fresh flavored waters, we got melón (cantaloupe) and horchata, not too sweet just right. The mole came with two pieces of chicken, or shredded chicken, we opted for the entire pieces. The chile relleno plate cam with two pieces, with lots of cheese inside. The sauce with it, was not spicy more like tomato sauce. Lastly, the huarache, was underwhelming for the price point. Credit card payments adds a 4% charge. read more

I was looking for some good traditional Mexican food and found this spot in Whittier, right near Pico Rivera and conveniently close to the 605 freeway. It's located in a small strip center, so parking was easy. From the outside it has that hole-in-the-wall vibe, but the inside is a little nicer than expected. The service was friendly, and I asked for a few recommendations. I ordered the asada quesadilla because they use handmade corn tortillas for it. My boyfriend got the carnitas plate and asked for handmade tortillas too, but they had run out and only had them available for the quesadilla. I also ordered the chicken enchiladas with red sauce. We didn't wait too long, and they brought out hot chips and salsa while we waited. Let me tell you, I really enjoyed the food here. It's been a while since I've gone to a Mexican spot that tasted like true homestyle cooking instead of corporate/commercial food. I even tried the carnitas, and they were moist and flavorful. Everything was really good. Now I want to come back and try more dishes like the tortas and burritos. I'll definitely be back! read more

I have a weird obsession with huaraches - the food not the shoe. And it turns out that they are pretty hard to find randomly. But with the help of my yelp app, when I searched nearby, I found Las Chinampas. And ever since, this has been my place to grab huaraches and other delicious food when I'm in my mood. This is a great local spot. *The rhyming in this review is completely coincidental read more

The Best pampazo ever also tired there Gorditas with chorizo con papa my husband loves there huaraches and also tortas all types they are very tasty also service is great treat you like family always feel welcome highly recommend. read more

I came back to try their different taco meats! I always got to test the tacos lol. They have several kinds. I tried the asada, carnitas, pastor, cabeza and chicharrón prensado. All of the were very good! The seasoning on each of them was super tasty and tender. Oh! And I think their corn tortillas are made fresh because they had that really fresh corn flavor. Delicious! In going back for more soon. read more

This is the spot if you're looking for an authentic home cooked Mexican meal. The service is always on point. It doesn't matter that it's 30 minutes before they close, the ladies are always very welcoming. The menu has so many options I always have a hard time picking what to get. But, you can't go wrong with anything you pick. The portions are perfect and always freshly made. The torta's bread is soft and perfectly filled with all the good stuff. The gordita was crispy, packed and very filling. The place is maintained clean and if you're lucky you can catch an episode of la Rosa de Guadalupe while you eat. read more

Hole in the wall vibes, very clean professional, and the food came out very fast. I got the Chicharron en salsa, which was very spicy and delicious. My roommate got the mole, and said it's the best mole he's had in LA, where it's typically very hard to find good mole. read more

Just ok or it could have been the plate. We'll still give it another try to be fair. Beans were very salty. Very nice team read more

Always get the Azada Tacos with handmade tortillas. They are a 5/5 but a but pricey. Great Mexican Casero plates

I've been coming here since I was 12 with my parents and now at 27 I still find myself coming back time and time again. The food is just as amazing as it was when I first tried it all those years ago and the service is always great. My go to order is always the burrito mojado but the rest of the menu is delicious as well. I've recommended this restaurant to many of my coworkers and friends and they have enjoyed it just as much as me. I would 100% recommend eating here ! read more

All I can say is that we've found our favorite menudo and pozole spot! What made it even better we was the staff. They were very friendly and they were just like family. They asked to hold my toddler because he was reaching for them. It just really seemed like home in this restaurant, and we will for sure come back because of that. read more

Best quality type of food if you're looking for Mexican Cuisine! Staff is very polite and quick!

Small lil hole in the wall but clean, delicious and the employees are kind and friendly always makes you feel like you're eating at home

Not authentic Mexican food more like nasty Mexican food and service and ambience is not a family restaurant more like just a nasty hole in the wall and expensive. This place doesn't deserve to say they serve Mexican food. If you're gonna raise your prices, also raise your quality of food and service! Rushed in and out. sat us down and took our order for drinks and asked if we're ready to order our food. Felt rushed us to order our food. Café De la olla is not cafe de la olla it's just nasty coffee with added cinnamon I ordered Chilaquiles with chicken and over the eggs. They forgot to add the chicken and when I told them about it, they just brought it out to me in 10 seconds must be some chicken. They have in a tray and they just added to whatever dishes. Pre cooked food not freshly made read more

Christina was amazing and had great customer service! Food was delicious! 10/10 would recommend!

Usually only come for the quesadilla de huitlacoche as it's a rare find and reminds me of my Pueblo. Friends and family love it for other items like the pozole.. but the price point is also a challenge. That said, the recent order that felt a bit much, as well as I was overcharged when I specifically asked for a burger (no combo) but gave in because I was in a rush.... Also ended up with burnt food and sparse toppings for the quesadilla. Can't recommend this place anymore after this recent visit. read more

The ambiance is relaxing even with the 4 televisions. They don't have loud volume or music ( I'm grateful for that). Parkings is a bit difficult, but worth the trouble. The food is delicious.

This review is just for the Pozole I ordered their Posole with a few other items and found the Pozole to be pretty good and the $9.50 to be a fair price. They did make a mistake on an item I ordered which they corrected very politely. So this food gets 8.5 and service a 10. I suggest trying various items on the menu. read more

This spot is beyond amazing!! The service is honestly spectacular every single time. The individuals here really take care of their job & are grateful to have a job. It seems as if they have been there for years!!! They always greet with a smile no matter what. The food is the closest thing to a home cooked meal. Everything I had so far is delicious. Especially the pambazo & the gordita de chicharron prensado. They always have the old school bangers playing and it's not too loud in there. The parking lot is big & I never struggle with parking. Please visit!! :) read more
