El Tepeyac Cafe

3.5 stars up to - for the size and taste, this place is better than average. We came to this original Tepeyac Cafe location in Boyle Heights on a nostalgic whim. I recall coming here when Manuel would walk up and down the line to the entrance and offer (tequila?) shots to patrons! I have family from East LA and we do like this location. For a Sunday morning shortly after 9:00AM their inside eating area was packed with customers. We nabbed an outdoor seating spot with no wait. We got Manuel's special, which is a 5-pound burrito that serves up to 4 people. By default it is made with rice, beans, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, salsa, and pork. You can substitute other meats, and there is even a breakfast version if you want. There is no price listed on the menu, so I want you to know it costs $40. At $10 per person the portions are a decent value. Service was quick, and the chips were crispy and fluffy and looked made there in-house. Manny's special burrito tastes as good as I remember. This wet burrito is big-time comfort food and real filling. Believe it or not, my family has only ever ordered burritos. I should come back and give the rest of their menu a shot!

#Legendary spot remains legit. 3rd generation keeping it real. Massive burritos show up at your table in two minutes. Delicious food, big value since 1955. Their $15 burrito will easily feed two, maybe three people!

I grew up two blocks from El Tepeyac, been going there since the early eighties. It's changed a lot throughout the years, best years were when Manuel was around. I've moved away from CA a long time ago but every time I visit family that's the go to place. I recently visited and ate a Manual special with my daughter's. The taste of the burrito is gone, but I mean gone. The meat was not cooked properly had more fat than anything. The green chili was bland, rice, beans mediocre and the avocado was watery inside. I guess who ever took over the place didn't care about quality and the tradition Manuel left behind. I don't think I will ever eat a Manuel Special maybe a quesadilla, hopefully they can still make cheese and tortillas taste good.

This place was so delicious and the staff very friendly. A staple in East LA. Generous amount of food at a great price. Highly recommend.

Gave only 4 stars for atmosphere because it's small and you might have to wait to get in, but it's very real, down home Mexican. The food is excellent. I had Chile Colorado, which was at least as good as my homemade, probably better (I'm not Mexican; I'm a Gringo).

My sister in law always talked of this place and going there with her family. She finally took me and the food did not disappoint!! I had the bean and cheese burrito with the red chili verde sauce on top and it was amazing!!! I'll definitely be back to try other menu items.

Our company always orders these big burritos from there. The pork in green sauce is always everyone's favorite. The least favorite of people is the chicken. Next time I'll get two porks and one asada. The service is great. No need to call in the other the night before. You can literally call in the same say and they will make it fast. The staff is very friendly and kind. They have me a free coffee when I went to go pick up.

Place is amazing 🤩 mexican comfort food of hugs portions and a lot of flavor. I definitely recommend the burrito or enchiladas. Small unpretentious homey hole in the wall. Waitresses offer fast good service with great attitudes and 😁 ✨

Small family owned Buisness. An East LA staple. Service was magnificent The portions are HUGE. you can easily feed two from One plate. The wait time was about an hour. Food taste was delicious

I was looking for the best menudo in LA and this place was ranked #1 on Yelp. I got to say, it definitely delivered on the menudo! I think they have their own parking lot too, I went on a sunday at 10 AM and waited about 45 minutes until we were seated. But once we were, they came by and took our orders, within 10 minutes our food was on our table. The place was pretty packed and it looks like lines do move pretty quickly. The menudo had all the good stuff: tripe, pata (pork feet), tendon, etc. The corn tortillas were so nice and chewy and you can tell it was homemade. They had crazy large portions, I would recommend a small size unless you are HUNGRY.

Enjoyed the food, employees and atmosphere. Good size servings and good food. I've heard alot about this place and it lived up to is reputation

Terrible!! The food is horrible, worst yet!! Definitely overrated and not good at all more Americanized. I'm Mexican and it tastes bad, and always the Over the Top processed Cheese! NOPE, CHALE!

I've been back again only this time I brought a friend who had not visited in 34 years (him). You should have seen how quickly he wolfed down his dish! Otherwise, I'm pleased to see there was a bit of a line waiting to get in at the lunch hour. It's always a good sign when a place is busy. Aside from covid times... Manuals has always, almost always had a line to get in? Covid wasn't kind to almost any business... Especially restaurants. I guess you'd have to convert your restaurant to heavy delivery only since during covid nobody was coming out in person. Anyways, my Hollanbec (misspelled?) was totally a tornado on my taste buds... Yummy beyond compare. It was a time traveling blast into the past! Yeah I've been coming here for over 40 years... That's how long I've been with my wife... Actually let me think about it... I think I could come in here for almost 50 years? Does that make me some kind of antique at oh Tepeyac? Anyways, is there any other way to justify five stars other than having faithfully been a frequent visitor spanning half a century? Dang... What I'm really trying to say is I would like to award award 50 stars... One for every year!

Stopped in for dinner tonight after Dodgers World Series celebration. many Dodger fans came here after their celebration for a meal before they head home. Greeted by friendly server who took my order Knowledgeable on menu? Business has a great history of serving Boyle Heigts and the local community for over 55 years. If you have not tried this place I would like for you to add it to your list. You will enjoy all the Mexican selections that they have their burritos are famous as well I ordered the Hollenbeck burrito and a bowl of Albondigas. We enjoyed very much one of the good things to order for sure. Business has a big seating area inside as well as a nice decorated patio outside and if you do not want to eat here, you can order to go as well from out front very convenient .

The Huevos Ranchos was incredible. It definitely is a great breakfast meal. The restaurant also had a welcoming vibe as I felt like I was a part of their community. I love the server as well, he was fast, engaging, and he knew everything about the menu in the back of his head. I wouldl come back again for lunch and dinner.

El Tepeyac Café in Boyle Heights is a culinary gem that never disappoints. Known for its hearty portions and authentic flavors, this family-owned institution has been a staple in the community for decades. The star of the menu is undoubtedly the Hollenbeck Burrito. It's massive--easily enough to feed two people--and packed with tender, flavorful carnitas, rice, beans, and their signature zesty sauce. Each bite feels like a warm hug from abuelita. The taquitos and chile verde are also must-tries, offering that homemade taste that's hard to find elsewhere. The service is warm and friendly, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. The staff genuinely care about your experience and go the extra mile to ensure your meal is perfect. El Tepeyac's nostalgic charm is enhanced by its classic diner-style setting, complete with old photos of the restaurant's history adorning the walls. Parking can be a bit tricky, especially during peak hours, but the food is worth the effort. If you're craving authentic Mexican comfort food and a true Boyle Heights experience, El Tepeyac Café is the place to go. Just make sure to come hungry!

Note: I have been to this location before and believe it or not, my family has only ever ordered burritos. I recall coming here when Manuel would walk up and down the line to the entrance and offer shots to patrons! I have family who grew up in East LA and adore this location, and the Tepeyac that used to be across from Resurrection Cemetery in Monterey Park (now closed). For a Sunday morning just after 9:00AM the interior was already packed with customers, which is a great sign. We were able to secure some outdoor seating with no wait. The Manuel's special is a 5-pound burrito that serves up to 4 people. It is traditionally made with rice, beans, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, salsa, and pork. You can substitute different meats if you want. It costs $40 and for $10 per person the portions are a value. Service was quick, less than 10 minutes to receive our main course. The appetizer chips were crispy and fluffy and appear to be made in-house. The Manuel's special burrito tastes as good as I remember. This wet burrito is big-time comfort food. I think that I should come back and give the rest of their menu a shot! My official rating is 3.5 stars - for the sheer size and for the taste, it is better than average, for sure.

Not enough updates to this place. Forgot to mention that seating here is bad so be cautious to expect that to change.

As always, good food, fast service, and wonderful staff that make you feel at home. I just love coming here.

I love their food! Hands down! Burritos and hard shell tacos are so delicious. Their service is great, servers are very attentive, friendly and kitchen staff is quick! It's always been great to go dine in or take out.

El Tepeyac Cafe is a staple in the neighborhood in East LA. A homey restaurant that has a long history. My father cant help himself in retelling stories of him and his friends eating at El Tepeyac when they were teenagers. The menu hasnt changed much over the years. Expect the traditional fair, enchiladas, tacos, burritos, beans, rice and more. I had gone to the restaurant that day to partake of their delicious menudo. Sadly for me I was there on the wrong day as they only have menudo on the weekends and one day during the week (I think Tuesday). So I decided to forgo breakfast and got the enchilada and carnitas taco. My friend got the Machaca and eggs. When you come to Tepeyac be prepared to eat. The portions are generous and we both had a second meal to take with us. Thank you Tepeyac!

Est. 1962- Originally opened in DTLA in 1942, El Tepeyac Cafe moved to its current location in 1962. A staple of Boyle Heights, and a favorite stop for foodies internationally, ETC is also famous for its massive five pound Burrito (Manuel's Burrito). Created in 1965, Manuel's Burrito was invented to feed football teams from local high schools, and Cal State LA. Truth be told, everything on the menu is Massive, and absolutely delicious. Normally, I would say, do not come here unless you're hungry, but El Tepeyac is so good, that even if you're only peckish, you still must come. You will have just that much more to take home! I had the #11 (cubed steak simmered in onions, tomatoes, Jalapeños, and served with lettuce & cheese, and rice & beens). I also tried a Crunchy Chicken Taco, which was smothered in lettuce and cheese. Both were enormous and excellent. El Tepeyac was not busy when I first walked through the door, but when I left an hour later, every seat was full. The service was very friendly and helpful (thank you Alexis) and there is plenty of parking in their lot. This place is a gem. Every Angeleno needs to come here at least once. El Tepeyac Cafe is LA Culture at its finest.

Was craving a wet burrito and found out about El Tepeyac the same day, so I had to try it. What a gem! I got the mini Okie burrito, filled with chile verde and topped with red enchilada sauce. As soon as I smelled it, I knew it was going to be divine. This mini burrito was stuffed! Could easily be 2-3 meals. I really liked their freshly fried chips with salsa too. The beef taquitos were full of meat, but dry. I did appreciate the generous amount of fresh guacamole they came with, but I'd pass on these next time. Huge portions at reasonable prices. Expect to wait ~20 minutes on a weekend at the takeout window. I'll be back!

In Los Angeles, El Tepeyac is the best place to go for Mexican food. It is actually the best Mexican food in California. This is a small place and it can get crowded. If you don't want to wait, look to see if there is a spot at the counter or go to the side of the building and order at the window and eat outside. You can dine in or in their cute patio. They also deliver and have take away. The man that owned it was the nicest man you could meet. He passed. He used to be a boxer and started this little place in the front of his home and expanded a little over the years. This is not fine dinning. The place is spotless and cute. The service is the best with many of the employees being there for years. We have been going for 40 years. The portions are huge and the prices fair. The food is the best, it matters not what you order, it is all good. Their machaca burritos are famous. The place is famous, You must go. Please see my other reviews of this place for more information. There is nothing not to love, nothing.

This place is Nostalgic for me... it's literally apart of my childhood!! Coming here with the fam and getting the Manuel Special to-go would be a highlight for me after my school week. The authenticity of the food then to now is no different. Visited with the fam this weekend and we were so happy to be there! We dined-in and ordered: Veggie Burrito, Asada Nachos and Okie de Pollo Burrito. Our server was super friendly (guy with the fancy stash, haha) came and talked/joked with Us. He made sure our cups stayed filled with our drinks of choice, brought us fresh chips and salsa while we waited. Food came out in a timely manner - it was sooooo GOOD!!! None of us finished our food and were SUPER happy to have some BOMB leftovers for the next (2) days because the portions are HUGE!! Bottomline: El Tepeyac is where it's at!!! This place has been consistent for years and I look forward to bringing my own children here!!

Been coming for years gonna miss the tequila shot. Wait time 30 min waiting to get in jeep you posted

El Tepeyac Cafe is a local favorite Mexican restaurant in Boyle Heights and has been opened since 1956. The cafe is the original creator of the Hollenbeck Burrito and Manuel's Special Burrito. These burritos are so big that one original burrito can serve 2 to 3 adults, but customers can also order a mini version. The 5 lb Manuel's Special Burrito has been featured on Man vs. Food (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTxFY-ci8p8). [Parking]: Has a free private parking lot right next to the restaurant. [Hours]: Interesting but somewhat important note - this cafe opens at 6 AM and not many coffee shops & breakfast cafes open this early. [Amenities]: There's a small take-out window and credit cards are accepted. Customers can sit in the outside patio area inside of a small alley, but I actually opt to eat inside of my car instead. Indoor dining is also available. Friendly cashier. [Menu]: There's no price listed on the giant outdoor take-out menu, but the take-out menu focuses on mostly burritos. Please note that mini option is available for Original Okie Burrito and Original Hollenbeck Burrito (the menu lists "Hollenbeck Chili Verde" and default meat is pork). No mini option for Manuel's Special Burrito. *** Original Hollenbeck Burrito or "Hollenbeck Chili Verde" (Seared pork meat simmered in traditional red tomato based chile verde recipe with rice, beans and guacamole. Topped with chile verde sauce - mini for $12.32 tax included): Despite ordering a mini burrito ... the burrito was still huge and had enough portion for two separate meals for one person. This is essentially a classic wet burrito with rice, guacamole, and chile verde sauce. I do like the fact that the guacamole to rice to bean ratio is skewed more on rice & guacamole side. This burrito also came with two separate salsa (one was too spicy for me, but mild salsa was solid). It was a solid bang for the buck burrito. *** You know this restaurant is legit when there's a Wikipedia page about its history (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Tepeyac_Caf%C3%A9). I definitely see the appeal of this restaurant and those giant burritos probably fed generations of local families.

Ordered lunch from here through DoorDash after scouring the app for a good Mexican spot. I wanted to try a combo plate so I could get a couple different items and went with the taco and red enchilada plate with the protein option of beef. At first look the enchilada sauce looked like it would be thick and grainy in texture; and yes it was thick but actually very smooth and really rich in flavor. It was delicious! The taco was still crunchy and the shredded beef was cooked nicely and seasoned well. The rice and beans were decent but nothing special. I will definitely be trying them again. The portion was extremely generous as well!

AMAZING FOOD THE BEANS WERE SO GOOD AND THE CHIPS WERE SO FRESH. Service was so fast and the people who work here are so nice!!! We chose to eat outside which we love to do and everything is nice and clean.

Open 75+ years. Deserves to be open 300+ years. Seriously hope this place never goes out of business. What a gem. Great prices. Huge portions. Tasty mexican food. Classic LA vibe. This is the first time I have eaten here in over 20 years. I was a little kid back then. Eating here, you get the feeling El Tepeyac has hardly changed since it opened and that will hardly change in the future. It transports you back in time a bit. An enduring restaurant showing some of the awesome cuisine and culture East LA has to offer.

Been coming here since the 70s. Always a treat Food is great as always. Hollenbeck burrito every time. Service is impeccable and friendly A timeless treasure for an old man. Thank you Ps I miss Manuel.

Cute little cafe with lots of great choices and great drinks. Perfect spot for a date

There is not a bad choice on the menu! Get the breakfast burrito but ask for chorizo mixed with the eggs, extra bacon and sausage light on the taters... so freak'n good! Chile Verde with rice and beans is the bomb, and their Menudo is a lot like "Abuelita's"! Just go and try it already, you can't go wrong!! Patricio

Got recommended this spot by a relative who lives nearby. I've always seen it but never had the chance to try it. Not sure if they're connected to all the other el Tepeyacs. I had a bad experience with the location off the 60 & 605 fwy so I was hesitant to try this spot. We came here on a Wednesday night and it was packed which is always a good sign. I ordered a combo meal with enchilada, Chile Relleno and a taco. All were very tasty. Rice and beans had plenty of flavor. I was disappointed with their flan. Tasted too much like a pumpkin pie or horchata. Less cinnamon would've been better. But I would come back to try some other classics like chile verde, tamale, and albondigas

We traveled to East LA at the advice of a friend, who loves this place and goes at least once a month. Only 15 minutes away from downtown LA, where we were located while boyfriend worked on a Saturday. Again. He knows he can lure me to join him with the promise of a foodie adventure afterwards. El Tepeyac's parking lot was full, but we had no trouble finding street parking. At 4:30 pm, a line snaked its way out of the small dining room, and we joined the end of the line. After waiting about 20 minutes, a lady walked up and went in, then came back to the line, saying there were plenty of seats at the counter for the several parties of two who were waiting! I wish an employee had told the line of people waiting that information, as it was 59 degrees and chilly. But no matter: we found seats and happily settled in at the counter. I ordered the cheese enchiladas, because I always do, and boyfriend had the Original Hollenbeck Burrito. We also ordered their hot, homemade chips for $1.50, still dripping with oil on delivery and served with homemade salsa. Service was lightening fast and the food was piping hot. As a cheese enchilada connoisseur, the enchiladas were excellent. Perfect red sauce, with lots of paprika, as I like it, and lots of it. The dish was served with rice and refined beans, which I just finished for breakfast this morning. To say that the portions are large is an understatement. Lots of bang for your buck here. The Hollenbeck Burrito is so massive that boyfriend ate a third of it, and was so full that he didn't have anything else to eat or drink all night, lol. He had half of the remaining burrito for breakfast this morning, and still has half for another meal! The cafe also sells Manuel's Special Burrito, named after its beloved late owner, which is large enough to feed a family of four and still have leftovers! This is a great place for authentic Mexican food, at good prices and massive portions. The indoor dining room is small, but there's also open seating at the counter, which I preferred anyway. There's also patio seating and pickup for orders, so lots of options. We will be back.

Friendly staff and generous portions, what more can you ask for? We were a group of 10 and we waited to be seated for maybe 30 mins. It was during a busy breakfast hour and many of us had the same idea after the Los Muertos 5K run. Hubby got the breakfast burrito with eggs, potato, cheese, and bacon. I got the non spicy chilaquiles with tomato sauce, cheese, chips, over easy egg plus rice and beans. We were hungry but there was no way I could have finished that chilaquiles. Hubby and I were able to share the leftovers for breakfast the next day. They often come to our table and refill our coffee and water. Note that they do charge for salsa and chips, I couldn't eat any of it because I just can't handle any spicy salsa in general. When I went to use the restroom, I noticed there's another covered patio area in the back with more seating. There is also a window just for take-outs and pickup. They do have their own parking lot but it does fill up fast.

The food here is absolutely delicious! I really love the crispy tacos as well as their salsa. Walk up an order and your food is ready within minutes. They are very friendly and hard-working here, it always feels good to support a local business like this! Plenty of indoor as well as outdoor seating, it does get very full here but they get through the lines quickly. They have a private parking lot with free parking and I love that they are open early. Highly recommended, if you're looking for authentic Mexican food in a casual environment!

Food is good along with the service and vibe of an old school legendary place to eat mexican food.Only disappointment was that they offer you chips and then charge you $3 when the bill comes.More the principal than anything.

OG and oh so good! Just order everything with extra cheese. Don't forget the chips and extra spicy salsa. Get the beans, the best part of our meal.

El Tepeyac Café, nestled in the heart of East Los Angeles, is more than just a restaurant--it's an institution. For decades, this beloved eatery has been serving up some of the most authentic and satisfying Mexican cuisine in the city, earning its status as an East LA landmark. Anyone who truly knows LA's iconic food scene will tell you that El Tepeyac is a must-visit. The first thing you'll notice is the sheer size of the plates. Portions here are nothing short of generous, with each dish packed with the bold, traditional flavors that Mexican food lovers crave. Whether you're digging into one of their legendary burritos or savoring a plate of enchiladas, every bite is a celebration of Mexican culinary tradition. The burritos, especially the famous Manuel's Special, are so massive that they've become the stuff of legend, often requiring two, if not three, people to conquer. The ambiance at El Tepeyac is as warm and welcoming as the food. The staff, many of whom have been part of the El Tepeyac family for years, are full of stories and always ready with a smile. Their friendly banter and personal touch add to the café's charm, making each visit feel like you're dining among friends. El Tepeyac Café isn't just a place to eat; it's a cultural experience, a taste of East LA's rich heritage. For anyone looking to explore the best of Los Angeles' food scene, El Tepeyac is a bucket-list destination that never disappoints.

Loved their service, and our food was delicious. Both sides of the restaurant were family-friendly, including the bar side, which helped us get situated faster.

This place is an Eastside landmark, an institution. We've been coming here for years. Even during the pandemic, we came and dined on the outdoor patio. The food is consistently good, and a great value. The fact that we are regulars and always enjoy our dining experience is the reason that I am unequivocally awarding a 5 star rating, which is long overdue! My absolute favorite lunch is the hard shell, shredded beef taco and a side order of refried beans (both a la carte). So delicious! The taco has a generous portion of shredded beef and lots of shredded lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. The salsa is also great! The taco, accompanied with the refried beans, which are so flavorful, makes the perfect lunch. I love it also because I'm not a big eater, and this lunch is just right for me. JJ's favorite dishes here are the cheese enchilada plate, and also the huevos rancheros. Ambience is also great. It's a small, cozy and homey cafe. Sometimes when it's really crowded, we'll sit at the counter, which we don't mind at all. Service is also great and very friendly. They have a dedicated parking lot which always has plenty of parking. Highly recommended!

If you like wet burritos this is the spot . Portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. The quality is still what it was and the manual special burrito is still way too much . Nice pieces of stewed pork , rice , beans , guac and cheese topped rojo or verde sauce .

What I had: - Original Hollenbeck (mini) $11.25 - Hot Chocolate $2.25 Taste: 4.5/5 It was my first time trying the wet burrito. I ordered a mini size original hollenbeck, a signature dish in this resto, and it was way larger than I expected. The fillings were loaded, with guacamole, rice, beans and huge chunks of meat in it. What makes a wet burrito different than a regular burrito is that it is smothered in sauce (more like a broth to me). This one I had was served with flavourful tomato and veggies sauce with a mild spicy kick. Overall, it was pretty moist and scrumptious. Vibe: 4.5/5 Homey and retro. I loved the vintage red chairs and bar table. And it seemed to me that many diners were loyal customers who were there pretty often. (Not me eavesdropping lol) Service: 4.5/5 Service was fast. Everything was served within 5 mins. The servers were attentive and friendly.

This place is a must-visit! I'd you ever visit Los Angeles definitely come here ! The food is absolutely delicious, prepared with care and full of flavor. On top of that, the portions are incredibly generous--you'll never leave hungry. Whether you're coming in for a hearty meal or taking some to-go, you'll get amazing value for what you pay. Highly recommend for anyone with a big appetite and a love for quality food!

Love this place! The chips were fresh and the salsa fantastic! Guacamole excellent! The taquitos, beans and rice outstanding! You can't go wrong! Not to mention the burritos are the best around!! Definitely will come back! We had to wait 15 minutes for a table which was well worth the wait! Tried the one in City of Industry. The two are not affiliated. The one in Industry is awful! Rancid chips just to start! Food is served cold! Rice is awful! Avoid that location!, .

I've heard about this place and drove by here several times. Stopped by during lunch with some of the guys from work. We were seated right away. The location is small but roomy at the same time. It's very clean and smells delicious the moment you walk in. They have a to go window outside for all to go orders. The restrooms are very clean . I will definitely return for more. The original hollenbeck beck burrito is the house favorite and it will definitely not disappoint.

The food was great, had the chilaquiles. Slightly disappointed they were out of two other things I wanted to try but understandably so as they are a smaller operation with a homey feel. Our server was nice and attentive. No complaints.

We heard a lot of good things about this restaurant and decided to go out and make sure. Coming from SFV, it took us about 40 min on a Sunday, and we arrived about 11:45. Parking lot was full and there was a line. We ended up parking on the street. No big deal. The place was nice and cozy, and the a/c was just right. There was outside seating as well. We sat at the bar and was service was almost immediate. We ordered the Hollenbeck asada, and the original. This was one of the best burritos we've ever tasted! The portions were big as well! Truly satisfying! We'll be back to try their dinner menu.

Delicious. My friends & I got the Manuel special wet burrito. Big enough to feed 4 people.

Well, I couldn't stay away for too long. What a delicious and incredibly satisfying burrito. I would advise to share the HollenbeHollenbeck, it's huge. You will get what you pay for in every bite, the food is fresh and tasty. If you want a delicious homemade burrito try El Tepeyac.

I grew up going to El Tepeyac. I knew Manuel only to be a very welcoming gentleman. I've only ever had a Hollenbach when I go alone or with friends. However, when I went with my girlfriend, we'd split a Hollenbach and taquitos. The late great Elmer Dills of KABC-7 once named it the best Mexican food restaurant in LA County. I agree.

Haven't been here in years! Was in the area, ordered a green burrito but received a red burrito. That burrito was huge but I was hunger and I ate the entire thing. Always flavorful, homemade taste and lots of meat in it.

Woooow - a time warp, transporting you to simpler moments. With this nostalgic, iconic location, your tastebuds will ignite with excitement. The traditional dishes, and a few flared nuances give everyone something to enjoy. Cheers!!

Great authentic Mexican food in Los Angeles, CA. I've been coming here for many many years. They have great tasting food. They are known for their huge burritos. They usually serve it in a half aluminum foil pan diagonally. Great tasting salsas, great customer service! A true staple Mexican authentic restaurant. I will continue coming here as I have in the past.

This is the best place to have a burrito. If you grew up eating grandma's menudo. This is one of the best places to eat menudo on Saturday or Sunday. Manuels never skimps on the meat. In fact all plates have large portions. Trust me . I've been coming here since 1965.

My family and I have been frequenting this location since way back in the day when Manuel himself was running the show. To this day the food has been consistently great. Never a bad day. And the service is awesome. Ermigio can have every table filled with customers and he will be on top of everything. This gentleman can really move. I so do highly recommend this location. We are here at least 2 to 3 times a month.
