“ A group of us came by Thursday for lunch. As grey of a day as it was with rain in the forecast, I wasn't sure what mood I was in the food for. Perhaps some breakfast for lunch? That's when I saw that, on Thursdays only, they serve pozole verde. What are the odds? One of the guys in our group who comes here occasionally mentioned not too many Mexican restaurants have pozole verde, and those that do are worth seeking out. Both of us ordered some, while others ordered items like enchiladas de mole, albondigas, huevos rancheros, and the California Benedict. The waitress running the show was on top of everything, and within about ten minutes after ordering our food was ready. Granted the restaurant wasn't too busy, but that's still worth applauding. Our pozole verde came in a large bowl on a plate that came with two corn tostada shells, shredded lettuce, diced green bell peppers, diced onions, a lime wedge, and two slices of avocado. The soup itself was pale green with shredded chicken and oily spices floated on top while the hominy hid below. From the first spoonful, the word that came to mind was "hearty". This is the kind of the remedy you want on days like these. Everyone else was similarly content with their choice of food. We even saved room for dessert in the form of baked goods on display at the counter. I got a pastelitos de guayaba and marranito or puerquito, both of which satisfied a sweet tooth or threeth. All around solid place to come back to. ”

“ We were headed to brunch at Egg Plantation across the street, but saw the line and said NOPE! Thank God we looked across the street and saw El Pueblo! We had the chilaquiles, huevos con jamon, and menudo! Omg everything was delicious!! The service was impeccable! Do yourself a favor and order the champurrado with a mini chocolate concha (which comes warmed) and your tastebuds will thank you!!! I'm so glad EP was packed because now we have a new go-to!! ”

“ We loved the service and they were very friendly and competent. The food was excellent menudo breakfast burrito and a n omelet. They had hand made tortillas. We will be back and tell people about them. ”

“ Neighborhood Mexican restaurant that feels like it's been around for a while and family owned and operated. It's both a restaurant and bakery (with a counter towards the back). Not a lot of frills at this place, but the place has a cozy charm. The service was friendly and helpful and the food was really good. Came here with some family because we were looking for lunch while taking a break from the heat at Magic Mountain. We found this restaurant and it looked great. I ordered the tamale platter and it hit the spot for me. I also ordered a nice cold beer which tasted especially delicious on such a hot day. The bakery area had lots of goodies in the counter. After lunch my niece and nephew was excited to go back there and get some baked goods and flan. Just a really great restaurant all around that accommodates groups and / or families. Parking was really easy to find at the time as well - there's a lot and plenty of street parking. ”

“ Place is a decent size & clean. The small parking lot is shared by quite a few businesses, so parking might be an issue. Service was friendly and fast. The food was the bright shining star here. I had a carne asada plate with shrimp. Absolutely scrumptious. The meat was obviously marinated and so tender! The shrimp were big and flavorful. The beans and rice were good. And they have tortillas a mano here. My husband had a chicken tlacoyo, which he really enjoyed. He described it as a thick tortilla enchilada. And to top it off, they had karaoke with KDJ Pow. Awesome food & fun atmosphere. We'll be back! ”

“ Service was great! They were very kind and attentive. The food was exceptional. We had horchata, enchiladas de mole and campechana. The sweet bread was amazing! Wonderful place. ”

“ You'll find the best fresh baked conchas and fruit filled empanadas in SCV here and their regular menu items are on point too. This place is a gem, considering there's a breakfast spot across the street that is always busy with a long wait... no wait at this bakery and restaurant AND they have their own parking lot. Sometimes there's mariachi on the weekends, but they also have a couple of TVs. Service is friendly and attentive, we never have to ask for refills on coffee or water (they have coffee w/ cinnamon too as well as French vanilla creamer) and if you want baked goods while you dine in, they can serve it at your table and even warm it if you want. ”

“ Delicious, delicious, delicious! First time here and I was so glad I stopped by, because I had intended to go another place, across the street. First off, the coffee was great quality. It was rich, deep and full bodied. I appreciated immediately that they care about serving a quality cup of coffee. One of my biggest irks, and sentiments of disrespecting a customer about a restaurant is it will serve a flavorless, or even nasty, cup of coffee for $3-4. This restaurant appreciates their customer and serving quality, I could immediately tell by their coffee. I ordered the chorizo and eggs, with beans, rice and handmade tortillas, to go. The chorizo and eggs were flavorful, fluffy and moist. Beans and rice were delicious. The handmade tortilla added that special authentic element to upgrade the plate, entirely. I really recommend you visiting and supporting this restaurant. ”
