    Horchata with pepita -- smooth and refreshing
    Cesar C.

    I took my mom at her insisting that we try this place, and she was so right! Ok, not the prettiest on the outside and more OG in interior design, but what matters is the quality of the food by an experienced kitchen staff. By the way, I've tried mole in some of the best places in Mexico, and this comes very close! I decided to try a few different flavors over the familiar to see how that turned out. Outcome: I can't wait to go back and try something new and something familiar.

    Chilaquiles with steak
    Richie L.

    Excellent food! Chilaquiles with red sauce super tasty. The must try though is their cafe de olla! Only one drawback is the parking situation but they do they best they can. No street parking so uber there or park in the back

    stopped by Mole Del Rey after seeing it on TikTok and decided to give it a try, even though it's not in my usual area. I ordered the chilaquiles with potatoes, over-easy eggs, and a small portion of beans. We also got the mole with two over-easy eggs, beans, and potatoes. Unfortunately, both the eggs and potatoes are pulled from a warmer, so the beans came out cold and the potatoes were only slightly warm, still leaning toward cold. The chilaquiles were decent, with a sauce that had a nice flavor but could've used more spice for a real kick. The mole was definitely the highlight of the meal, rich, flavorful, and well-balanced. Portion sizes are on the smaller side, though. On the plus side, the restaurant is small, the service is great, and they're quick to get you in and out. Overall, it was a decent experience, but not something I'd go out of my way to drive for again.

    Great environment, good food, friendly staff. Service was great will definitely be going back.

    Flor de calabaza chilaquiles

    My go to breakfast spot! I always get their chilaquiles with their flor de calabaza sauce, so yummy! Their agua frescas and café de olla are amazing. It is a small place with fast service!

    Mollete de asada and enchiladas verdes

    Amazing service, food is flavorful, authentic Mexican food! The restaurant is small but has a patio on the side. Parking in the back of the restaurant but is very limited. We tried their molletes, enchiladas verdes & chilaquiles verdes! Delicious! Along with Cafe the olla which comes with one refill. And their agua fresca del día limonada de fresa.

He just needed to lick the plate lol I had a chile relleno with white rice and pinto beans. I'm glad they didn't add cheese to my beans like other places.

They have great music playing and art thru out the restaurant. They also have a patio in the back for bigger parties. It's a cute open patio. Thank you Ashley for such great service, attentiveness professionalism. The owners were very sweet, polite and attentive. Great and humbled owners.

The people who work there are so friendly and kind, and the food is amazing. I still remember the crema de chicharron soup that I had the first time we went, and the chile en nogada and enchiladas tres moles are so delicious--they're my family's favorites, but you really can't go wrong. It's so hard to describe what makes them so wonderful; you taste so many different ingredients and yet the flavors balance so perfectly. Whatever the soup of the day is, you should get it; they're all delicious, especially the crema de chile poblano. My wife and I don't live close by, so we can only make it out here every few months. But for years, it's been our place to come for date nights or special occasions--birthdays, anniversaries--and you only have to look around the restaurant to know that it's the same for many other families, too. It's a beautiful and welcoming place to come, with so much art and often live music; it just feels full of life on a busy dinner shift. During the pandemic, we were still coming here when nobody was eating indoors; we'd drive an hour to Bell, pick up our take-out, and eat in the car. And in the middle of all the grief and uncertainty of that time, it was still such a treat. More than a treat; something joyful and soulful in such a hard time. We went to La Casita last night for our anniversary, and we saw Chef Jaime chatting in the parking lot with a friend (who turned out to be an artist working on murals for the restaurant). We recognized him and said a quick hi, and we were going to keep walking, because we didn't expect that he'd know us. But he recognized us, even though it's been a while, and he was so warm and welcoming. He even called the restaurant to order us a glass of wine on the house for our anniversary. We were really touched. And, as always, we had a delicious dinner and fabulous time. If you've never been, I hope you give La Casita a try. We love it so much, and I think you will, too. P.S. Get the jamaica margarita.

For us, that's El Ranchito in Huntington Park. It's a family-owned, authentic Mexican restaurant that has had the community on its back for the last 6 decades. They hand-make the tortillas right in front of you, serve up fresh chunky guac, and make their iconic Mama Avila's soup fresh daily. It's rare that a soup has me hitting a stank face, but here we are. The Camarones al mojo de ajo is a can't miss appetizer. It's succulent shrimp sauteed in butter and fresh garlic, made to be eaten with the piping hot homemade tortillas. They have all the traditional Mexican dishes, my brothers go to is the chile relleno, but I always just run the fajitas. I'm sure I'll get clowned for this, but nothing heals my trauma and existential dread like a plate of sizzling fajitas. My pops has worked in the area for longer than I've been alive, so El Ranchito has seen every iteration of me, and of my family. For that, I am grateful.

My favorite appetizer are the Molletes which are toasted bolillos with chorizo and bean spread topped with cheese and pico de gallo. My favorite plates are the Carne en su Jugo, which is pork in green chilli sauce, and the Albondigas beef meatball soup. The soup is plentiful and doesn't disappoint in flavor. The meatballs are tender and have a perfect flavor profile of herbs and spice. Honestly, nothing disappoints here. The Pollo in Mole is also delicious. The tortillas are fresh and hand made. The Pollo con Rajas is creamy, cheesy, flavorful and the chicken has always been juicy underneath all that sauce, cooked perfectly. I've also had the teak tacos and they're filling, tasty, and a perfectly compliment to anything you will order. The sides are usually rice and beans and they've always been perfect. The rice is soft and the beans are addicting. Javier is always warm and friendly, he does an amazing job with his restaurant. He tends to his patrons wonderfully and deserves all praise, as well as his staff. They compliment the small dining area and make you feel like you're eating at home or with family.
