“ Food is great Service is fast Everyone is so nice there Price is great delightful ambiance ”
“ Great place. Second time here. I live in San Diego so when I'm in the area I will stop for lunch. Service is friendly and efficient. Kinda a family feel. Ambience is cozy and the place was clean. The food so far has been excellent. Beans and rice are very good. Kinda of my measuring stick. If a Mexican restaurant can't make beans and rice they should close. This place has it down. Ordered the chicken mole. Was very good!! Mole is a complex sauce. It was good! Suffice to say I will be back. I highly recommend if you are ever nearby. ”

“ Hidden gem! I was craving home Cooking and Barbarita's delivered. I got 2 pupusas and my husband got one crispy and one regular taco. Our food came out piping hot with two drinks out total was only $13!!! The staff was very sweet and helpful. What a great deal definitely recommend this place. ”
“ The food is phenomenal and the prices are very reasonable. They don't speak much English but we definitely understand each other lol ”
“ My best friends mom comes here so much, she had invited me to eat with my best friend and WOW!! You really can't underestimate their food. Tortillas de Mano are the BEST Tortillas I've ever had. The salsas are incredibly flavorful. If you're wondering if you should come try it or not, I'm here to tell you to go for it! I've lived in Inglewood my whole life and i finally go ever now and then because the prices are also very affordable for the portion plate they give you. Love you guys!! ”
“ Looks can be deceiving on the outside it's not much to look at but what the ladies here cook up sure is, these Mexican spots do not mess around with their portions. Jumping right into it, I got the mol'e burrito because I just love that sauce and a couple of tacos as I didn't know what to expect in terms of size but I should've know. The burrito was huge, loaded with goodies - meat, beans, rice, sauce. Now there was a bit of a language barrier going on so when she asked what else I wanted I just said give me everything, so also included in the burrito was cilantro and I think avocado. Easily the burrito could be shared. On the side is onions, tomato and lettuce. The tacos were good too, average sized but looked great, tasted fresh and were also loaded with the goods - I got one pork and one beef, but included were chopped onions, cilantro and lime. The food took about 15 minutes to prepare but I could tell they did work on the whole meal as they did with others. My only complaint was in the burrito there were bits of bone and gristle in there burrito so I had to stop every few bites to remove it. Also my nemesis - cash only lurks here so there's that. Otherwise this was a nice spot. How much was it all? $10! That's right, Big ol' burrito for two and two tacos - $10. If you're cruising through here, I'd recommend, even though it doesn't look special on the outside. ”
