    Jalapenos toreados. Added this to my machaca and it kicked it up a notch.
    Louis E.

    Went to the Lawndale location for brunch on a Saturday and the place had a quite a few patrons, but the staff got us seated in about 10 mins. So, not a long wait, and a lot of people in the restaurant is always as a good sign. I went with my daughter and we are not native Spanish speakers but the waitresses were over the top nice that they tolerated my Spanglish and they also were super-sweet to my daughter and tried to teach her some Spanish. The place is spacious and clean, welcoming and (as mentioned above), the staff is very friendly and attentive as well. There is a very large selection of food on the menu, but my daughter and I just got breakfast items. I also ordered one of there seared jalepenos (jalapenos toreados) and I added it to my machaca and, watch out, that gave it a kick but it was loaded with flavor. My daughter got the french toast with the cinnamon sugar and butter and she was in heaven. Muchas Gracias!

    I wanted to bring my niece here because she loves conchas. As you are seated they bring a basket of warm Mexican bread called conchas. Coffee is good and strong, breakfast was ok. My $5.95 value breakfast came with two eggs, bacon and 2 Pancakes. They are cooked with butter so it's not served with butter... pancakes are thick and fulfilling. Kids French toast $11 was nothing special. I think their Mexican breakfasts are way better. Huge menu and our server Ramon was patient and attentive, poor guy I think he was swamped. I think they needed at least one more server to help out. Family friendly ambiance and music playing in the background. Free parking in lot and waiting area. Clean restrooms for patrons is a plus.

    Strawberry Banana Nutella® Crepes or you can do conchas.

    This is like a Broken Yolk with a touch of Latin flare. I love that they have coffee and Agua Fresca flights. They have crepes, pancakes, waffles and conchas. Choose your favorites base and enjoy, strawberries, banana and Nutella or any other combination they offer. This place is busy. If you have a large party, be prepared to wait. We were just 2 so we sat pretty quickly.

    Stacker and Strawberry Almond Cream Cheesecake Pancake
    Kathy Z.

    A delicious diner for breakfast and brunch with American and Latin fusion dishes - hearty and hits the spot every time. These plates are big enough to share, honestly. Choose from pancakes, crepes, burritos, quesadillas, stackers, fajitas, eggs, bacon and more. This place is ideal for larger groups, solo visits, or dates. There is only inside seating available. Prices are comparable to an IHOP or Denny's, or perhaps a bit more. I am a big fan of the hashbrowns, crepes, bacon, and strawberry pancakes. A bit salty and a little greasy, but that's to be expected when enjoying a filling breakfast. Don't forget the drinks! The Iced Latte with oat milk and horchata sweetener does it for me every time. Yes, it gets busy, and it gets loud. This is a family-friendly spot with lots of happy patrons. Expect a bit of a wait during peak weekend hours. Free parking is available in the lot.

    Complimentary pan dulce from next door's My Panecito bakery
    Kris G.

    Loaded Cafe says everything with its name - the food is LOADED up! This may be what Willy Wonka would create if he was interested in having his own breakfast restaurant. Yes, I know there are non-breakfast items on the menu, but this really is a sugar-fest spot. And I loved it all! Started with complimentary mini pan dulce that is supplied from the bakery next door, My Panecito. I absolutely recommend getting the hot horchata latte, or a standard coffee if you just must, to enjoy the pan dulce with. Nothing starts the morning off better than a hot drink & fresh pan dulce, mmm... I could not help but order the Caramel Churro Stuffed French Toast! This delicious, and possible diabetes inducing, choice was simply LOADED with sugary sweetness. The brioche bread was gently cooked to perfection and not at all soggy as I was concerned it could be. The sweet cream stuffing and caramel drizzle on top made me feel like a kid again, happily enjoying an outrageously sweet meal that my father used to treat me to on special occasions decades ago. My husband chose the Sausage Breakfast Burrito. He mentioned that the sausage to egg to hash-brown ratio was perfect. The cheddar and jack cheese added a gooey enjoyment along with the bell pepper/onion blend, encased in a perfectly browned flour tortilla. Alas, he had a classic coffee as a beverage, so no huge review from him on that point, though he seemed to enjoy it since he had two cups. I will say that the restaurant overall felt a bit "crowded" in the space. No, it wasn't the amount of patrons, but just felt as if it needed a bigger space. The staff also seemed a bit overwhelmed on that day, with our server not being available to assist a few times. Dealbreaker? Not at all. Perhaps they were just short staffed that day. Overall, I do look forward to returning for my next meal to try a new breakfast specialty, perhaps the crepes that looked wonderful.

    Churro
    Zan L.

    Stopped in for my first time for breakfast this last week and it won't be my last. This place is known for giant portions and they really do have a great selection of American and Mexican breakfast options. It was very crowded when we stopped in Saturday morning for brunch, but the tables seem to turn quickly so we only had to wait about 5 minutes. Inside is pretty large, they have many different types of seating from tables to booth. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. One thing about this place as they have a giant menu. It will take some time to choose what you want because they honestly have a ton of options. They also have a large free parking lot attached in front so parking is really easy. For this first visit, I chose one of their most popular dishes, which was the Crunchy Asada Chilaquiles. It's basically like the other version but without beans and the egg is scrambled. The steak was pretty good, although a bit too fatty, but it was still seasoned well and overall I enjoyed it. We also ordered a Churro on the side and that too was very nice. This is more of a cheat meal kind of place, they don't have a ton of healthy options, so may not be the best for someone on a strict diet, but for others it is still worth visiting because it is honestly that good.

    Concha!
    Delbar E.

    10/10--exactly what my soul needed on a Sunday. The dessert window was the first thing that caught my eye (I wanted one of everything). The place was busy but not too loud or overstimulating, which made for a really enjoyable brunch experience. The menu offers classic American and Mexican breakfast options, and the best surprise was being served a warm concha while waiting for our food, such a thoughtful touch. Our waitress, Rennie, was warm, kind, and hardworking. This might be one of my new favorite brunch spots. Can't wait to come back--thank you, Rennie!

    A friend from church shared La Villa's family takeout special with us, and that's how we discovered…read morethis little gem! We decided to stop in after church and give it a try. The restaurant is small, but we were able to get a table in the back corner. It was a little snug, but honestly, our hunger was more pressing. First up--the chips and salsa were THE BOMB! That salsa was so fresh, flavorful, and had just the right kick. I could have--and pretty much did--drink it. They also brought us a bowl of beans topped with crema, and my kids were practically fighting over them. My husband and kids ordered burritos: two steak, one chile verde, and one chorizo. They were a good size and were instantly devoured, which is always a good sign! I ordered their $11 special: an enchilada, chicken taco, beans, and rice. It was flavorful, filling, and straight-up OG Mexican food. I really enjoyed my entire plate, especially for the price. My only complaint was the noise level. We had a speaker directly over our table, so the music was pretty loud, and the table next to us was a little loud as well. It made conversation a bit difficult at times. But all in all, we will definitely be back! I'm so happy we discovered another Mexican restaurant to add to our rotation. Now, La Villa... I just need that salsa recipe! I need a few cups so I can drink it! I loved learning that they've been around since 1969.

    We came for the first time and were confused by the menu. We had a family of 4 so wanted to order…read morethe family pack. Was told that was only for to-go. Ended up ordering burritos, tamales, enchiladas, hard and soft shell tacos, etc. - Tamales were the best. Meaty carnitas - burrito was next best. Meaty, not too much filling. I'm from NM so love the wet style. It bugged me that you have to pay extra for Christmas style. Who really likes getting charged for a lick of sauce? How much does that sauce really cost the business? Look, I walked away and I still remember you wanted to charge me some nominal fee for the sauce. I told my friends. Now I'm telling my friends on Yelp. The owner should read up on pricing psychology. He probably doesn't want to be known as the guy who charges for sauce, is my guess. - Chicken taco was a nice size and tasted ok - enchiladas were mid Salsa is only free for the first 2 servings. Even for a table of 4, that bugged me. Again, he's known now as the guy who nickels and dimes. Sigh. Ambiance is dark inside like a pub. It would look more modern and family friendly with more natural light. As most would expect out of a restaurant. We came here during a World Cup game. The game was on. That was a plus We were thinking of coming back to order the family pack. Then no one at home would charge me extra for the salsa. ha!! I read just now in another review that this place charges for hot water. Ok then, the owners is STRIVING to be the nickel and dime people. Yelpers are talking and people are listening. Do yourselves a favor and reverse these dumb pricing practices. You'll never know the business you are losing for the $2 here and $3 there. It's never worth it!

First, just like most casual Mexican restaurants you are greeted with house made salsa and chips to snack on while you study the menus for your meal. The salsa is very fresh and the chips are not, thank goodness, over salted. It's a perfect starter! I enjoyed the meal option of four chicken flautas with rice, beans, and perfectly portioned guacamole and sour cream. You are able to make your own choice of meat stuffing, which I love, knowing that the flautas are freshly made. I chose to have chicken and found it to be perfectly fried, not overly seasoned, which some places do. I like that you can actually taste the chicken and not just spice. I also had the horchata to drink, and I loved it! The service is wonderful, with many families flocking to the restaurant for that homemade feel for dinner. The staff has always been kind enough to offer a refill of your drink/soda to go if you wish. Kindness from the staff is a real highlight of Raul's. The ambiance of being at home is a plus for me. There are a few handicap parking spots available in the small adjoined parking lot, with easy wheelchair access through the front door. There is also plenty of parking spots located on the street and in the available parking lot located in the middle of Hawthorne Blvd. There is a television with captions on for those that are HOH, hard of hearing. Being a hearing aide user, I sincerely appreciated this. I consider this a hidden gem in Hawthorne.
