  Good caldo de pollo (Mexican style chicken soup)...but if you stop in definitely try their steak gorditas!   Freshly made orange juice is great when you feel under the weather.

  I been coming here before they change their name ( they changed it cause three blocks down there was another restaurant with the exact name ) I been coming here since I was 5. I remember this place only having 7 booths! Was super hard to sit and it. The day they completed a full on dinning place was like the best day of my life. I go here one ever two weeks. The owner,waitress and one cook knows my whole family. This is my favorite restaurant. I've brought numerous dates here and none of them are mexicans.  They've all loved it. Guaranteed if you go, you'll go back. If you drive, screw the parking meter. I've never paid for it since they put them up three years ago.

  I go here regularly for lunch. One of the main reasons I started going (besides the fact that the greasy, nasty, [but super tasty!] hillbilly [it's ok, I'm one too] joint with the poker machines [that actually paid out!] that used to be here closed) is because when they 1st opened I realized that it is only a one story building and, with no apartments upstairs, that significantly cuts down on the cockroach possibility. And, for once, my theory seems to have been correct. Yes, the food is good. Yes, the service is good. YES!!! It's clean!! And I take comfort in that.

  I love the food at this place and the service is just as great. The best thing to order are the steak Gorditas. They are so good. They also have chicken, al pastor and cheese Gorditas. Nice small place to have a fast bite with friends, family, or your significant other. Very laid back environment with subtle decorations. I totally recommend it. There is no parking available so you will have to park out on the streets. I suggest that unless you're planning on eating inside, you order your food fifteen minutes before picking it up. This way you're not driving around searching for a parking spot.

  Am I surprised I'm the first to review.  No, not really.  A cursory glance of the restaurant during my meal, I could tell that none of these patrons were Yelpers nor did they require someone to tell them where to get some good Mexican food in Hermosa.
  
  Once I entered, I was quickly greeted with confusion.  Is it sit down and order or counter order and take it to your table.  Looking at the tables, the one piece four-person metal and laminate wood tables, I thought it was the order at the counter process, but I was wrong.  But the super friendly hostess / cashier let me order with her anyways.  
  
  I ordered breakfast for lunch which consisted of three over medium eggs coated with some non-spicy sauce, a few thinly sliced steak strips with a side of beans, lettuce, tomato and rice.  The name of the meal escapes me, but I believe it was the house breakfast specialty because 'Poncitlan' was in the name of the dish.  
  
  Service was quick, food was hot and the telenovela on the tube was dramatic.  What else could you want?
  
  Maybe some damn delicious chips and spicy salsa.  Don't miss out.  They make it in the restaurant.  Worth every cent (free, comes with the meal.)
