“ Seems like new owners again, but I gave them a try and was not disappointed. Cheese enchiladas verde 10/10. Comes with a side of rice and beans. Carne asada wet green burrito, 10/10. Generous serving Shrimp and fish soup, super good and flavorful. Huge shrimp 10/10 Service is always quick with a phone order and even if I have place an order in person the wait is not bad. The establishment is clean and ambience is like home. Limited parking in lot and on street. ”
“ This lovely and unassuming joint in Cypress Park doesn't look like much but once you're greeted by the friendly waitress and then you see 3 or more families from the neighborhood walk in behind you, you know you're in for a treat. My wife and I started off with their delicious Guacamole and then we each got the 3 Taco plate. So good and very affordable! The rice and beans here are like no other and the meats and veggies in the tacos are the standard but delicious. Tierra Caliente is a region of Mexico that I had yet tasted and like every region Mexico I've had so far, it's delicious. I feel very fortunate to live here and be able to taste so many different regions of Mexico all in one place! Thank you Tierra Caliente! ”
“ Amazing restaurant with so many food options. I've tried multiple multiple things on the menu been coming for almost a year and everything is always great. Taste and service is 10/10 ”
“ So happy to have found this spot when I was searching for some soup! Liked it so much I came back a second time and was not disappointed! The pork pozole was delicious and the molcajete had a great taste and delicious chicken, beef, and shrimp! The micheladas perfect and not watered down! The staff is super friendly and attentive! ”
“ Great! Great! Great! Food is full of rich flavors and served hot. Service was excellent. ”
“ This hidden gem near Mt. Washington is easily one of the best Mexican restaurants we've experienced in Los Angeles. The food was outstanding, especially the legendary mole that's so good, it might bring you to tears. The guacamole was also some of the best I've had in LA. The laid-back, welcoming atmosphere made it ideal for our family of four. On top of that, the service was excellent--attentive and friendly. This place truly deserves 5 stars, and we can't wait to come back again and again! ”
“ Had a work event right by this restaurant, so several of us walked over. And oh my goodness, everyone was highly satisfied. Bean and cheese burrito, chicken tostada, Chile relleno and chicken taquitos were all really great! Service was fairly fast considering how packed it was and staff was friendly, especially the young lady who was at the register. Unfortunately, they only had one register, so felt like that took the longest. Ohhh and i's cool they have several TVs that had the Olympic games on. ”
“ This little whole in the wall is a diamond in the rough. We needed a place close by to an event we were going to and this was the place. The outside is rather unassuming but the food was nothing short of amazing. The waitress who served us gave us recommendations that were spot on. The menu, while not large, had a great variety. Must haves: guacamole; cucumber-lemon agua fresca. ”
“ Had the Puerco En Verde Always hits for those who can't hang with spicy I believe they have it in Rojo not that spicy... but pork very well cook n extremely tender n juicy n flavorful must have in my opinion ”
