It's a rainy night here so we decided to order takeout and tuck in snuggly at home with the fireplace and some soup. We ordered the Albondigas soup. It comes with tortillas and chips & salsa. The soup was traditional and yummy. So warming for a rainy night. The salsa had a little bit of heat which I like. Our order was available for pickup quickly. The staff were friendly. I'm looking forward to trying more of their food soon. read more

Food: We ordered raviolis with cream sauce, and came with side salad, and bread and butter, and cheese with avocado sandwich, and tiramisu. All we're excellent except the side salad, which was meh. Otherwise, overall delish! Service: the staff was super friendly and nice. They made sure that I didn't want meat in the sandwich. I told them I'm vegetarian. Ambiance: Even though we got our food to go, the ambiance has that warm and welcoming feeling to it. You know instantly that it's a mom and pop's establishment. We went during the lunch hour so they were busy. Parking is limited. read more

For starters I have come to this place often and the service and food always very good.. Today I came and ordered a fiesta platter my son had two hard shell ground beef tacos and my daughter had the Carne asada fries ... The Tacos were not good the beef was not seasoned the shell was not deep fried shell it was the ones you buy in a box at the store the juice from the meat wasn't drained and when I pick the taco up everything fell out because it had sat in juice and made shell soggy ..the fiesta platter was ok I asked my daughter about the Carne asada fries and she said it was probably 15 fries that was topped with beans and cheese very little carne asada and not seasoned well ... This is really disappointing to us as we love Mexican food but don't think we will be returning read more

The Original Alfredos - After eating our food. So delicious - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lomita, California

My impression of Alfredo's is different than what it was 30-40 years ago. My recollection from many years ago is that the menu was different, with more Yucatan inspired dishes, colorful presentations, and many items I couldn't order at other Mexican restaurants. There are some Yucatan-inspired items today, but most of the menu seems to be the same as those found at other Mexican restaurants. One of their special items is a Burrito Boxito, a pork burrito with a dark mole style sauce. I'll make a general observation in the way of a comparison - beans usually come in red or black varieties, and if you like black beans you'll probably like this burrito. I was here once with someone else who didn't care about this item; they admitted they didn't like dark sauces, but I liked them. The Enchiladas Puebla also had the dark mole on top of the chicken enchiladas. I think that the addition of the rice and beans on the side made this a more pleasurable meal than the Burrito Boxito. Another specialty is the Cochinita Pibil, a slow roasted pork, marinated in a citric juice, onions, beans, and rice, with tortillas on the side. I found the pork on the dry side, which was acceptable at first but became a little more of a chewing exercise as I continued with the dish. The Sopes are simple but colorful and good. Most of the menu has the typical fare of a Mexican restaurant. I found that most of the items fell into an average category. However, that being said, my most recent recents were more of return to what I fondly remember from decades past. The restaurant is getting on the old side, but it's clean, service has always been attentive and friendly, and there's lots of parking in the back. read more

Came here with family for dinner, the food was amazingly delicious and the service was very welcoming! I definitely will be coming back again soon! read more

Drove by this place a billion times and finally checked it out. I wish I would have been surprised at how great it was, but sadly like pretty much every other Mexican place in the South Bay, it was pretty standard/subpar. I had a wet burrito that was totally forgettable. read more

If your under the weather, thier chicken soup is a must!!! We always try and get it once when we are sick. A large will last 2-3 meals. Call ahead for fast pick up. If your not sick try the Boxito Burrito. The black salsa is so good and pays amage to the late founder/owner. Plenty of seating when we have gone. Alfredos has been a staple in Lomita since I was a kid. Give them a try. read more

This spot will address your desire for Mexican food. I enjoyed my machaca burrito (pictured). It was HUGE and filled with all the goodies you would expect. This is a great family-owned restaurant that serves delicious food and provides exceptional service, along with a large parking lot! I enjoyed the atmosphere that has 2nd and 3rd generation family members working there! Expect a good chip basket and house salsa. Their domestic beer price is also very reasonable. #BIEN read more

The food is the reason we keep coming back. Try the Boxito Burrito - it's really delicious. The mole' sauce is also really good. The ambiance is basic but the murals on the walls are very interesting. Service can be a little slow but don't be afraid to speak up - it's that kind of place. read more

Went there today for the first time and it was one of the best Mexican meals I've ever had. The Yucatán flavors were a nice change from the standard Mexican food. Our server, Montserrat was so nice and friendly. Explained the selections, gave us a sample to try, and was just so accommodating. Will definitely be back. read more

The shit you smell at the front door has moved indoors. Have been going here for over 15 years. Will not be going back. Place has seriously declined. Found a 4" piece of wood in my Chimichanga. They also attempted to overcharge me stating they, "thought it would be cheaper". Left with the owner making snide comments even though I remained calm. Sad to see the places you love turn terrible. Seriously dirty dining room, as well. Makes you wonder what the kitchen looks like. read more

My sister has been saying how much she loves this place so I thought I give it a try. Well..... I was there around noon not busy at all. I was greeted and got a seat easily. Just looking around taking a glance the place looks run down some and can use a new look. It just needs some updating. The parking lot is nice and big so no problem about parking since, it is on a street that's hard to find parking. The chips and salsa wasn't bad it didn't have a spice to it but it had a little flavor. I ordered one cheese enchilada with a ground beef taco combination. The enchilada sauce was the BEST! The enchilada and rice was the best thing on that plate. Beans looked watery or oily? Wasn't sure what it was as I picked up my taco to take a bite and whatever they have the beef sitting in, maybe they don't drain it? But pure water/oil came out all over my plate. I couldn't eat it. The "juice" was all over my plate now. It was gross. I put my hand on the bottom of my taco and squeezed to see how much came out I put the taco back down and I was done. The waitress I had was very nice. read more

It's like eating at home. Our meals were hot and full of flavor. We had a combo plate, carnitas plate, that "new" Chile relleno with cheese and shrimp. Everything was absolutely delicious. If you want refills on your ice tea, more chips, more salsa--not a problem. Your choice where to sit. Plenty of parking. Waiters greet you and treat you like family. read more

bad experience, I got there at 9:03p parking was open, door was open and an old lady told me they were closed. I was just ordering an agua Fresca. lock your parking and door if you are closed. bad experience read more

Absolutely loved the food we got here. They serve your typical Mexican cuisine and also more specialty Yucatán dishes. All the workers were very nice, but service was slow. When it's busy, it seems that they don't have a good system down for making sure all tables get checked on. Even so, I was so wowed by the food that I would definitely recommend coming here to anyone. read more

Got the 2 item combo with a beef taco and a chicken enchilada. Both items were good. However, there is a distinct seasoning in the beef that makes it different than what I normally taste with the my beef tacos. I'll probably get chicken or pork next time. Overall, solid Mexican food. read more

Terrible phone etiquette. Called to place and order and I wanted to confirm my order and she responded as if I was dumb for doing so. Few reasons why I CONFIRMED my order. 1. I was giving them another chance after they got my order wrong the first time. 2. Lady had a thick accent so when she told me what the burrito had I wanted to confirm it had egg because she didn't mention it when I asked what it had 3. I am paying costumer I can ask what my $15 burrito has in it I came in and asked if she was the owner because I just can't believe that customers are treated this way. I love supporting mom and pops specially Latino/a businesses as I'm Latina myself but rest assured I will be taking my business to a more appreciating owner. read more

I love Mexican food let's just be honest here! It's my first choice. There food is always piping hot coming out of thier kitchen. I seem to always order the Chile Relleno plate and a la cart guilty. There chips and salsa are fabulous fresh with a bite of salt First time I came here I ordered food to go they gave us tons of all the supplies for a to go order. The Owners work here daily. He was so pleasant! Next visit was in doors thru also provide dining outdoors. Parking should not at all be a problem it's huge. The business has been open for many years. Unsure how many can occupy small tables are set up throughout. The staff is ever so froendly.id suggest you come here if ever I'm the area. They tend to get busy so there may be a wait. Overall, They are cute family owned establishment that has delicious food, served with pride by Maria. The recipes are unique to the location and too many tasty selections to highlight just one. Each meal is always prepared using the highest quality ingredients. Day of my visit it was sad to hear the owners daughter passed who proudly worked with them daily. read more

Had my first visit a few days ago and enjoyed my meal very much. My wife and I decided to came for dinner since she had been here a few weeks ago with our daughters and brought me back their to go menu so that I could look it over. I had the Enchiladas Suizas and chose beef as my choice of filling. The two enchiladas came topped with a nice tasting green sauce, melted cheese, and sour cream. They were very good and I really enjoyed their green sauce. It also came with beans and rice that Leo tasted very good and made for a very filling and delicious meal. For this meal we decided to eat inside since at the time it wasn't to crowded in there, and the weather was a bit cool. I did see that in their fairly big parking lot in the rear they did have a patio set up for outside dining. Inside the place was nice and clean and the staff were all wearing their mask. The staff were also very friendly and attentive and brought us our drinks as well as chips and salsa very quickly. I will definitely try this place again since it's not too far from home. read more

Always loved this place, but something very bad has happen there and have heard from others as well on this same subject. I went there recently to get some food and could not hold my breath long enough inside. Extremely strong sewer smell throughout the inside of restaurant, and need to report to city health. i even know that neighboring apartment complex can smell it when the wind blows that direction. You would have to be crazy to order food from a place that smells like a open sewer inside. read more

I had a different experience than most of the reviews here. Unfortunately, it was not a good one. I called to place an order for the trio enchiladas. The person who took my order was very rude. She hung up on me before I had the chance to ask how long the order would take. I thought maybe it was a mistake, so I called back. I told her my name and that I just spoke with her and wanted to know how long the wait time would be. She said in a condescending tone "i said ten minutes" in spanish. She did not say that the first time I spoke with her. Once i picked up my order and walked home, i saw that the enchiladas were all chicken and very bland. read more

Really good authentic mexican food in the area! My boyfriend has loved coming here for years and i finally got to try it the other day. The inside is cozy and the staff were very welcoming. We sat down right away and were served fresh, warm chips and a really delicious salsa. I tried their enchilada suizas plate with carnitas and my boyfriend had the three burrito plate. I tried both and really enjoyed the sauces, meats, and rice/beans. I'll have to try their boxito burrito next time bc it looks amazing. read more

Alfredo's will forever be my default place when thinking of Mexican breakfast. Honestly, you can't really go wrong with anything from the menu and with even basic sides dishes being consistently memorable. I went back recently for breakfast on a Sunday afternoon and was seated immediately.It's on the slower side for service, but the food more than makes up for it. The place itself is dive and feels dated but homey. Some of my favorites here include their Trio Burrito Combo and their tamales. Honestly, I prefer getting burritos in general and I can vouch that they're really good here. The beans they serve on the side are also amazing and definitely not store bought. read more

I'm writing this happy drunk from the delicious margaritas and elated from my chicken enchiladas. I chanced upon this family owned spot on my way home with a sudden craving for Mexican and I'm so glad I made that sudden turn. House nachos were freshly cooked and if they welcome you with such great quality nachos then you know you're in for a treat. Everything tasted very home-made and the service was as warm and efficient as it should be. No wonder they're awarded 2023's Neighborhood Fave. read more

It's been awhile since we visited Alfredo's, because one of our visits for breakfast wasn't very pleasant. Our server during that visit was distracted by her phone constantly while guests were sitting down waiting to order or have drinks refilled. After waiting nearly 6 months, we ventured over here again and it was a total 180 from our last visit. The staff was attentive and one server in particular was running around making sure all the guests were satisfied. She had 2 assistances to help keep drinks filled, bring meals to the tables, clean up after diners left, along with greeting all the guests. The chips and salsa are so good, that I pretty much ruined my appetite by constantly and continuously eating them. However, I did have a little room to enjoy my burrito, well half of it. The other half is waiting to be enjoyed for later. The dining room was clean and organized, but my only issue was the lighting. The ceiling fans make the lights mounted above them into strobe lights. It was kind of hard to read the menu with this strobe light effect. Sadly, another guest mentioned the same issue to one of the server assistants, so he turned off the fan to accommodate their needs. Turns out, it's the main servers boyfriend, and she's the niece of the owner. Funny how things turned out. Oh, the server that ruined our previous visit quit. I think she realized she wasn't cut out to be a server at this restaurant or just a server period. read more
