First time trying a Mexican breakfast, and this place has a high review on Google. I liked the breakfast burrito I had. It was big and satisfying. Other dishes looked great as well, though I didn't try them. The chef/owner? was nice.
If you haven’t been to El Tepeyac Cafe, you are missing out! 🌯🔥 This place is a total Boyle Heights legend for a reason. The atmosphere is so authentic and old-school....it feels like you’re stepping back in time! 🕰️✨ The staff is absolutely wonderful; our waitress was so kind and treated us like family. 🥰 And the food? TO DIE FOR. 🤤 The burritos are massive and loaded with flavor. Seriously, come hungry! 😋🙌 Highly recommend if you want the best vibes and even better food! 🌯❤️💃
So here's me, a literal 40-year-old Mexican food virgin, one of the whitest guys you know, walking into this place because we were visiting my late father-in-law's favorite restaurants from when he lived in LA. And I'm like... I should at least try to order something legit instead of a burger, right? The food all comes out and the plates are full to the brim. This is *a meal*, the kind of plate that says you should not and will not leave hungry. Steak picado, big pile of meat and veggies in tomato sauce. Nice low heat from spice that builds as I eat. Soak up more of the sauce with the rice. Maybe I should try more Mexican food, huh...
Tried this place for the first time.. OMG so delicious 😋 I had the beef taquito and we ordered chilaquiles and mini nachos big portions so filling and tasty .. only downfall is the wait time but that's beyond their control definitely going back. 🙌🏼✨️
Locally recommended and had a line at the door a few tables deep the whole time. Portion sizes are big and the food was hot off the grill. COUNTER is 1st COME 1st SERVE so check it out if you don't mind elbowing up to a new friend.
