We stopped by La Villa Mexican Food on Crenshaw for dinner with the family and ordered a mix of…read moreplates to share. They started us off with chips, salsa, and a bean dip, which was a nice touch and something I don't see everywhere. I went with the two-item combo enchilada plate with shredded chicken and shredded beef, served with rice and beans. The portion size was very good - definitely satisfying - and the enchiladas were exactly what I was hoping for. This is comfort food for me, and this plate delivered. We also ordered the carnitas plate and the chile colorado, both served with rice and beans. The chile colorado had good flavor overall and was enjoyable. The carnitas had good flavor, though the texture was a bit inconsistent. Some pieces were tender, while others felt slightly overcooked or dry, which made a few bites less satisfying than they could've been. The salsa was good - not the best I've ever had, but flavorful and a nice complement to the food. Service was friendly, they took our order quickly, and the food came out fast. They were busy, so there was a slight delay at times, but still attentive when we needed them. Parking is mostly street parking, and when we went there was space available, though you may have to walk a little bit depending on the time. Overall, the portion size and value stood out to me. This is a solid, comforting Mexican spot, and I'd come back.

Raúl's Casa Sombrero has been a South Bay hub for many years for those that are wanting a feeling…read moreof homemade Mexican dishes and company. 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.

I don't live close for the past 6 years but I love coming here when I'm down here

Its a few blocks down from my Mom's house and right across the street from Hawthorne High School. I went with their 4 taco combo, shredded beef. How were they? Pretty freaking tasty! Right when I took the lid off the container, they looked similar to old school El Tarasco tacos. Red sauce on top, fried shell etc. Even the chips they give you were full fried tortillas. Bomb! The tacos were tasty, but they lost a little texture and crisp from the delivery. They would be better if ordered at the shop. Still, even then, I enjoyed every bite of them. They had lots of shredded beef in them, tons of lettuce and cheese and that red sauce. Damn fine tacos! I will definitely be back to eat inside there the next time I go see my Mom. Good stuff!

I usually order mine with green sauce, while my husband prefers the red sauce, and both are consistently so good.

Food comes out pretty fast, and everything feels reliable and comforting every time we come back. A true classic and a staple for us.

Licha's is closed Tuesday, open Mon to Sat 9a to 630p and Sun 9a to 5p. Both Yelp and Google have incorrect times.... which is why I could not make it before. Also, look for parking on the street, the parking lot is tiny. Any case, all of Licha's staff (owners?) are sweet and friendly. I felt at home immediately. Now about the food! and coffee, both are excellent. The Cafe de Olla is fantastic.... I almost never get coffee outside my home but when I come here, I WILL! For my first time here, I had the menudo with all the fixing. What I loved the most is that is all meat, no hominy to fill you up. I LOVED IT! Almost like my Mom used to make. The Tortillas ARE HOME MADE. They were excellent. See the pictures.... I finished everything, including the fixings (onions, fresh lemons, limes and cilantro. Btw, the house salsa is good but the habanero version is DELICIOUS but VERY HOT with excellent flavor and texture. Yummm. Because I was do full but still very excited to be here, I ordered 3 Al Pastor tacos with everything. I can hardly wait to eat them when I get hungry again. All in all, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Licha's. Don't miss out. Just remember to park on the street... they only have three spots. And don't blink, the place is tiny.

The burrito itself was yummy with sour cream, guac, and pico de gallo on the side with enchilada sauce drizzled on top. Portion was pretty okay for the price, leaning towards high though.

There was enough lettuce to start a small salad bar, but somehow almost no cheese. Last time I checked, cheese was kind of the star of the show. The carne asada was fine, but when you're digging through a mountain of lettuce looking for the cheese, something has gone terribly wrong. Calling this a quesadilla felt a little optimistic. Unfortunately, it sucked.
