No soy mexicano, pero e estado dos veces de viaje en Mexico y de todo lo que probé en Estados Unidos este sitio si tiene el sabor correcto, me hubiese gustado más opciones de salsas picantes pero todo muy bien

Let me start by saying the staff is the best. They are on you from the entry of the doorway. The restaurant has allot of decor to make you feel your in Mexico. The food was amazing the taste of the meat and the service was the best ived had in town.

I'm a visitor from Oregon, came to visit my family for the holidays. I have always live to eat at any pollo loco Establishment. But have never been treated like today. The two ladies that where in the front very rudeness had an attitude. I would never come back to this pollo loco again.

This place is located 3825 E. Gage Ave, Bell, Ca 90201 NOT BELL GARDENS. I was introduce here by my son's grandfather when my son came home and raved how good the ceviche was. So I checked it out and now this is my to go place for the fish ceviche. One container can feed up to two people for $6.25 and that includes lemon wedges, freshly fried corn tortillas, and hot sauce. Once you get the container you will be surprised how much you get because it's all fish with little cilantro and no onions. Most places has fillers and little fish but not here. I usually order it to go and add more cilantro, lemon juice, onion and ketchup at home. The place is a small gem in Bell and it's next to a boxing gym but it's worth finding. The place is clean but I have not ventured into the bathroom. They only accept CASH but they do have an ATM. The menu is written in Spanish but the workers all speak English well and they are very nice. Not once have they been rude. I haven't tried the fish tacos but it looked so good and I believe they only serve on Fridays. Plus you can order by phone for pick up. Please try this place out and you will be happy that you did too. Oh, I forgot to mention the fish are not in tiny pieces they are in chunks!
3. La Tequila Restaurant
Reviewed By MayaD888
Went at a time that wasn't crowded. It was nice that they had live music, but a tad loud when trying to talk to people at the table. Waitress was nice. Food and drinks were okay. Nothing outstanding. But a solid option if you're looking for a bite in the area.

Please don't be discouraged for the location. They have valet parking at weekends and the BEST Best Chile en Nogada!! Remember the famous movie called "Como Agua para Chocolate" where they have Chile en Nogada, well here you find them at its best setting! Too bad that I couldn't get the recipe!!! As a Mexican American I know what is really a good Mexican food and here Ramiro and Jaime really know what they are doing! Couple years ago I visit for the first time with friends and they were very pleased with the food and service. Love to hear that they don't serve burritos and tacos which is most of the non-Latinos know about the Mexican cuisine. The only thing that I don't like is that they extended the restaurant area and a crafts store was added. I am not against our Mexican traditions but when I want to eat I don't want to be distract by the anything else. Love the wall with the pottery pieces and during my last visited I inquired about a painting that was on display but too bad it was out of my reach. I have stopped multiple times to get Enchiladas al Mole which are delicious too! Once I saw a television anchorman there and this is a place to find a well diverse clientele. The Chefs are very charming and once I saw one that waved at me from another table. they serve Cetto Wines which are from Baja. Very acceptable. Try el café de Oya with a cinnamon touch. Delicious.. I am hungry now.. Enjoy Amigos !
