“ Food was excellent. Highly recommend the Chicken Enchiladas de Mole. The Table Gucamole was very delicious. Only complaint was our waiter went on break before taking our order. However, the young lady who made our Gucamole saved the day and took care of us until our waiter came back. Sorry about the Photos, I started eating before taking the pictures. ”
“ I sadly got here to drink since I've had already eaten something before. However the plates looked so good that my fat self had to get something. So we decided to try their nachos and they where higher. Super tasty! Enough to easily share with at least 3 people. And the drinks where outstanding. Loved their margaritas. A nice place to chill and relax, enjoying a margaritas in the afternoon! ”
“ Prices are crazy high. Bottled beer was 12.95. Food was good and service was outstanding. Cost... 1 beer, 1 margherita, and a nacho appetizer was 55. Yikes. May not be back. Check out our YouTube channel Coolest Life. ”
“ The first impression might not be the best, but as soon as you sit inside you instantly travel to mexico. The servers are making sure you’re feeling comfortable, the food is amazing and the atmosphere is one of a kind. This is the true mexican food you were looking for in LA. ”
“ Really enjoyed eating here! Walked in on a Saturday a little after noon with a group of four after exploring Olvera Street. The complimentary chips and salsa were addictive. The sopes were excellent - really good base, and both the carnitas and shredded beef toppings were very flavorful and well-cooked. The refried beans were delicious, and I enjoyed the rice as well. The flan was incredible - good firmness, yet still light, and the caramel was luxurious. Would certainly eat there again! ”
“ I went with my family and we had a lovely time, the service was excellent all the staff were so friendly. I made a HUGE mistake I didn’t order enchiladas de mole!! And I try a little bit and was delicious, I can say is the best mole that I ever ate! I got a albondigas soup or was good but after that bite of mole I was sad lol. Sorry for the pictures It was too late ”
“ I was shopping for something very specific at the Olvera street, it took me hours but I found it! I usually get food at La Noche Buena, a tiny little place in the middle of the market but El Paseo Inn was just as good. They make table side guacamole, how cool is that?? And you can decide what goes in there and the quantity, I loved it! Super fresh and delicious! The place was busy but seated me right away at a table of my choice and the service was quick and attentive. I got tacos Al pastor and carne asada and a skinny margarita, all of those were beyond delicious. Chips and salsa are free, made in house and extremely fresh and yummy. Loved that they preserved the old feeling and the design in general! ”
“ I loved everything about the place the atmosphere was great with the light post inside and the lights going around making me feel like I'm outside and loved the burrito mojado not only did it look great It tasted great. But the thing I loved the most was the horchata it's one of the best I've tasted. Most I've had aren't that sweet or just taste more like water, but this was just right. The flan was good, not much to say about it, just taste like the others I've had. ”
