    Finally stopped by to grab a few burritos. Cliff did not disappoint us! They're huge, filled with good ingredients and Cliff actually came out to greet us. My 20 year old daughter was blown away by that- as was I! I'm not sure why there are negative reviews when they'll gladly hear your complaints and make your order again. They're really nice people. We will be back and highly recommend you check them out too. The burritos are enormous too btw and I had a regular.

    One of the best burritos I have ever eaten in my life Juicy through the whole burrito

    Chilaquiles

    $13 for the chilaquiles? it was kinda skimpy! No rice or salad just beans. The taste wasn't the best either.

    I have seen this little yellow and red building standing by its self on Alondra in the city of Compton for years but never stopped by to test the food.i was listening to the radio (102.3 FM KJLH) Stevie Wonder radio station and a commercial came on for Mr Cliffs mexican food with the 4.99. 4 chicken tacos and small drink I was in the area so I stopped and ordered I was greeted by a nice woman a sister,I was surprised the cooks all were Hispanic I was thinking I'd see all faces similar to mine but that's ok its good to know they have an equal opportunity work place.i glanced the menue the only other food item I was comfortable with the price was the all Beef 3 dollar Hotdog. Their signature Texas burrito starts at 17 dollars feeds about 3 people depending on appetite. While I was there Mr Cliff drove up and I told him i came because of the commercial he said thank you and that for mentioning the commercial I get a FREE DRINK of my juice. When I have extra money for sure I will be back I I recommend this place great food great service PS the chicken is all white meat breast

    ...I'm at a loss for words by how horrible this was. I don't normally write reviews but I had to…read moremake an exception for this place. I'll try to be concise. This review is for the Paramount location. I got a few items: Dino rib, pork ribs, brisket, sausage, mac and cheese and corn bread. I'll start with the positives. The mac and cheese and corn bread were decent. Also they took 15 minutes to give me all the varied food I ordered which should have been my red flag to run, but I decided to live dangerously and was punished severely for it. Now on to the travesty, the meat. The theme for today was dry, old and shameless. The pork was somehow undercooked and dry. Which if you can endure the cruelty, is actually kind of impressive. The brisket resembled beef jerky. I'm including pictures of the brisket since those speak much more eloquently than I can. I love to cook and I infamously over season my dishes. But all these meats were at a whole another level. Not salty but aggressively peppery and just ham handed. The rub was flavorful but it blew out my palette instantly. Please take this to heart: less is more. In terms of meat quality? Cheap. My Dad is a butcher, I can tell. Everything being reheated did the meat quality no favors either. The seasoning was further exacerbated because the ribs, both dino and pork, were almost entirely bone. So you have a ton of seasoning on a lick of meat. It was a recipe for disaster. And price? Expensive, especially for what I received. Insulting for what I received. I'll end it here. I don't want to waste your time like this place wasted mine.

Their staff is wonderful and attentive. I ordered the meatloaf initially, but then I had to switch it to the smothered steak because the meatloaf wasn't ready yet. It was a little disappointing, but I wasn't tripping out because their entire menu is delicious. The smothered steak was tender and savory. For my sides, I got the candied yams, mashed potatoes, and collard greens. All of these were very good. I'm not gonna lie though, I picked off of my brother's plate too. He got the corn and green beans. The sweetest corn I've ever tasted and the best green beans I've ever had. BRB while I check my calendar for my next drive down here.

The balance of meal was sad to terrible. I never eaten greens that only had water, a little salt and little vinegar...THAT IS IT! And they gave me about 4 days of them. The muffins were so tiny. They really just gave me one. OMG the red snapper was fried to death with the foil full of grease. There were 6 pieces in the foil. I could only eat the middles out o2 pieces then I through out what really looked pre-fried fish. One piece was actually black on the bottom. I doctored up the left over greens, with slices of smoked ham, onions, chile pepper flakes. When heated up the left overs they had that country smoked meat mixed with onions. Only then was I able to enjoy a soul food diner. The folks that work there are very nice. Management should have checked on the food and tasted it.

I've been here a few times before, mainly for the sides, but after this experience I honestly don't know if I'll return. I ordered a lunch chicken plate and was never told it would take over 40 minutes. Had I known, I either wouldn't have ordered or would have asked for a refund much sooner. Meanwhile, customer after customer who ordered after me received their food before I did. When I finally got my order, there was no apology or acknowledgment of the delay. I asked if there was anything they could do for the inconvenience, and the only thing offered was a free slushy. I don't even drink soda. A side dish or something more thoughtful would have made more sense. To make matters worse, when I got home, the chicken portion was very small and the two sides were tiny about the size of dressing cups. It's disappointing because I actually do like their flavors, but good food only goes so far when the customer service experience is this poor.

    The best soul food not in Grandma's kitchen…read more My family and I had a 5-star experience at this soon-to-be LA staple. We were greeted at the door by security, who opened it for every customer. His attitude was pleasant, and he had a genuine smile. Not one of those false demonstrations of civility. When you walk in, the smell of the food automatically turns you from hungry to excitedly starving. One of the keys to good food is the aroma from the kitchen. We were ushered to the back, Sunday Church pun intended. Our server got us wonderful drinks. Then we ordered our food, and when those soulful southern dishes arrived, it was the crown jewel of the experience. They looked as good as they tasted. We not only enjoyed the food, but Lonell came and chatted with us. He was genuinely concerned with the quality of our food and service, which was exceptional. On the way out, we asked for a picture and promised to come back whenever we are in the LA area. Please try this for yourself and post your favorite food.

When I inquired, I was told, yes, "Dinner" menus are also the weekend. Okie doke. Found out the "Muddy Water" drink on the menu is lemonade, sweet tea and berry juice. My friends and I decided to each order something different so we could sample many things. Chicken plate, salmon plate and meatloaf plate. Each plate came w/2 sides and a "hot water" cornbread muffin. We went with mac n cheese, cooked cabbaged, sweet potato, collard greens, string beans and mashed potatoes as our sides. I hadn't mentioned any reviews to my friends because I wanted their unbiased opinions. Food arrived, they dug in and I started taking pics. IYKYK! lol! Before I could set my phone down the first remark was, 'Wow! That's salty!' Wellllll...Thats what Yelpers had mentioned, but I couldn't believe it was THAT salty. Then I took a bite. Yes, indeed, salty. Everything, except the sweet potatoes was salty. Even the corn muffin was topped with a salty butter "wash". I think we all decided the salmon was the best. The sweet potatoes tasted sugary, which I honestly didn't mind cuz I got a sweet tooth. But my friends passed after a taste. The mac n cheese was good, but I just took a taste from the side to see if I wanted to order an extra side for the table. I didn't. My friend wasn't wild about the texture of her meatloaf. It looked like a hunk of dense cake, it was so finely ground. Not hand formed ground meat like we grew up eating. We skipped dessert and left some things behind. I plan on checking the reviews again before the year ends and see if comments are still talking about the salt content. I'll be back if the salt is reduced because the staff was very nice and attentive and this is a lovely space I hope will be successful for years. Cheers! "CC"
