Ajos Y Cebollas Mexican

I really wanted to like this restaurant because on the surface it looks cute and arty and there aren't many places like that in South El Monte. But I got food poisoning. Once you start to look closer, there are a lot of things wrong with this place. It's very dingy and dirty: the menus were sticky, the syrup bottle was sticky all over showing that it's not regularly cleaned up to standard, the booth's backing were dirty, the inside of the windows weren't cleaned, the restroom hallway was dirty, and the tablecloths were dirty underneath the white drawing paper. These are all things that kept running through my head as I felt sick. If this is what they want the customer experience to be like, then this does reflect well of the standards that their kitchen is held up to. Hence the reason for my food poisoning. Our server was really nice though.

Consistently solid each time we are able to make our way here

The food here is the real deal. I ordered two crunchy shredded beef tacos with rice and beans and my son had steak fajitas. Everything was so flavorful. We hadn’t had food this good since my grandma would cook for us. Bomb, 5-stars for the authenticity and flavor. A real gem in the SGV.

Very cozy comfortable restaurant with all of the essential delicious dishes. Very happy to live so close to this restaurant. It's perfect for our neighborhood.

Nothing disappointed!!!Mole enchiladas,The geikos pasta omg delicious!!!!I had it with tortilla soup and that was soooooo delicious too!!! Also comes with a garlic bread, it’s so soft and crunchy! And actually taste like a garlic bread should!I enjoyed the food so much I didn’t even bother to take a picture.I highly recommend this place!!!!
