If you're looking for authentic, comforting Mexican food, Naomi's Mexican Food is the spot! This place has been a part of my life since I was a kid, and it still hits the same every single time. Their pozole and menudo are always fresh, full of flavor, and made just right -- you can really taste the tradition in every bite. It's that kind of food that feels like home. What I love too is that it's perfect for the whole family. When I bring my kids, they've got a solid kids menu -- my go-to for them is the one egg, one pancake, and bacon, and they love it every time. The owner is always there, always welcoming, and shows real love to the customers. That kind of energy is rare these days and it's what keeps people coming back. This place isn't just a restaurant -- it's a true staple in Norwalk. If you know, you know. And if you don't... you're missing out! read more

Great Food, Great Service, and One of the best green Chile egg Beans plate in the La Área

This place is close to us, so we were excited to come check this place out, but we left a little disappointed. We came on a Sunday morning and although there was a lot of people getting takeout or picking up phone orders, we got a table pretty fast. One waitress came to take our drink order and came back with chips and our order. Another guy came to take our order and then this is where they received the low stars. First of all, we were seated before another party and the waiter took their order 1st. Not a huge deal as he took ours right after but the wait time after is what really brought it down. It took a really long time to get our order. Yes, it did look busy but still for the amount of time we waited it honestly was ridiculous. I got the Enchiladas, and they were good, but I have had better. Now maybe my expectations were high due to the long wait, but I feel like for the amount of time I waited they should have been better. I will say we really liked the rice. So, in the end they do provide good customer service and do give you that family feel which is always appreciated, but for the amount of time we had to wait I feel like the taste should have been better. read more

Great food and great service!!! I've had breakfast and lunch and dinner! Everything I've had has been outstanding!!!!!!

Been coming here since I was a kid! I grew up coming here to visit my grandparents and would often meet them here for breakfast. The MENUDO is BOMB!! I drive all the way from the IE just to have breakfast here. There enchiladas are great to. However, this time the sauce was a little bland but I'm also getting over really bad allergies and a lingering cough so my taste buds may be off. The menudo never fails... the broth doesn't need anything added to it, it's that good! I am a creature of habit and always order the menudo, enchiladas al la carte. We also ordered chorizo and eggs which was delicious. *chips and salsa BOMB *good carnitas (with the salsa) read more

Noemi's has some of the best Mexican food I've come across. No wonder they're a Norwalk City Landmark. The tamales and menudo are the best in town and it's not even close. They're a small hardworking, family-oriented restaurant and it shows. The food here is really great and their prices are hard to beat for the service and quality you're getting. The tamales they sell are the perfect holiday-season treat. I get them every year and my entire family loves them. read more

I ordered menudo through door dash an as soon as I take the top off from one of my menudos their was a bug swimming in my food literally upset my stomach. I've never had this happen to me. Worst experience ever. read more

I get the best menudo from Noemi's and I like be the red chili machaca. Red salsa has a great smoky flavor and the tamales are very good. Good food and good service. read more

Let's just with me saying that I am EXTREMELY picky about my menudo. It can't be be gamey, fatty, or leave that sticky feeling on your lips. Noemi's does it right. Not only is their menudo the GOAT of menudos, I also get my masa from there every holiday season and it's amazing! The staff is minimal so if it's busy expect a wait. The owner is usually in the kitchen or at the counter assisting customers and their service is always with a smile. I've had other menudos considered to be the best in OC but I end up regretting not driving the extra 15mins to Norwalk read more

The food here is excellent! This place is known for their menudo and tamales! We have lived in Norwalk since 1982 and have been loyal customers since then! The owner is nice and friendly! He makes you feel like you are eating in his home! Definitely try this place out! read more

I ordered through Uber Eats because so many people brag about this place and was completely disappointed. There was a thick hair in my food. I am a barber so I don't easily get disgusted by hair but this was not a strand of hair from on top of someone's head. My husband's food was such a small portion and greasy. The beans tasted like the jalapeno flavored can of Rosarita. The horchata and the chips with salsa were the only things I can say were good. We definitely do not recommend nor will we ever get food from there again! First impression is everything!!! read more

Noemi's Mexican Food - 60 lbs of Masa and a pot of Menudo. Annual tradition continues. - Mexican Near Me - Norwalk, California

Small business, owners have been that this location for 15 + years. Mexican restaurant that serves great testing food. During this visit I decided to order the taco combo and since it was taco Tuesday I added the cabasa and caritias tacos server broght me the green salsa I usually just add salt and lemon but added the green salsa to half the taco which did not add to much heat but added some spicy flavors. The amount of rice and beans was lacking but had a good flavor beans made with chorizo to add a bit more flavor then most Mexican restaurants. Over all was great place for lunch my whole drive order and time to eat was under 1 hour read more

Noemi's is legendary in nuestra familia. My Aunt Vudi (aka Aurora) turned us on to this place in 1984. My dad use to send me up there to pick up 600 tamales for a big Christmas party he would always throw. We stopped doing the party and my brother who loves to cook took on the mantel of coordinating a family event that we make about 300 tamales at for the past 15 years. Fast forward to today. My brother had a knee surgery and said i can't do tamales this holiday season. I said no hay problema, i know a place. Having todo la familia over for Christmas eve so we called and ordered 10 dozen and everyone will be leaving with a six pack of tamales. It so great to go in there with a bunch of big old pots and the crew loads them up. I naturally sampled some of them when they came back to mi casa and before foiling and bagging them for a few days in the freezer... they are sooooo good, and i sent a dozen home with our nanni and asked for her families "rating". They are kinda tamale snobs . I got back a text "10 out of 10, all of us, so good". To Noemi's and crew Muchas Gracias for making me the hero this holiday season without any of the hard labor of making those delicious tamales. Feliz Navidad Ryan Kelly P. S. Your tamales crush ours (shhhhh) read more

Best masa para tamales I've been coming here for years now and every time we make tamales . I get a lot of compliments saying that my tamales are so good that the masa is so flavorful that it makes them so great. I recommend they have the best masa and food. Try and see for yourselves. read more

Food taste just like home! I really like their tamales the most. Staff is very friendly and attentive.

This is the best mole poblano I've ever had around LA. They make it the authentic way by cooking the chicken in the perfectly made mole to the point where it melts in your mouth. Nobody makes mole the authentic way anymore. You need to try this place. read more

Super nice people, and really good food! I wish I could eat here everyday. Beer is cold, food is hot and seasoned well. I love their cabeza tacos! read more

It seriously saddens me to give this place one star. This was the place my whole family went to on Saturday mornings. When I was a kid, mom would wait in a LONG line at 6am to get a pot of their menudo. I would ask to come here for my birthday from age 6-13. My brother purchases DOZENS of their tamales for Christmas every year without fail. I've moved to the OC so I can't eat here as often as I'd like but when I'm in the area, I would come by to get my pork tamale. I was in the area today and was so happy to come in because it had been awhile. Since it was a Saturday morning, I was nervous I wouldn't get a sit. I walked in and it was dead. I sat and order their smallest menudo (the size of a cereal bowl) and one pork tamale. My food came quickly but the masa for the tamale was completely different and it was tiny. The menudo was watery with almost no meat. What little meat there was, was in small pieces. I reluctantly ate what little I could enjoy and paid. For the small tamale and kid size menudo it came to $12.02. Honestly! I have no problem paying what something it worth but I was shocked how much the price went up and the quality went down. This place is so imbedded in my family that I contacted my brother immediately and told him the sad news. He said that we won't be getting tamales from them anymore. I'm going to miss you, Noemi's. I really hope that things change. read more
