Chilaquiles were delicious! Great news it's no longer cash only! You can pay via zelle. Very authentic Mexican food (my husband can vouch for this as well). My friends go here quite a lot and they love it!

We have been regulars for over 10 years and this is one of our favorite places in the world because it's homey, low-key and always hits the spot for breakfast. Our favorite breakfasts: chicken soup, pozole, chorizo and eggs, machaca, heuvos a la Mexicana, chili verde and chile colorado.

This is delicious homemade Mexican food. This place serves Homemade tortillas, homemade hard shell tortilla, and an awesome salsa and chips. Their food is fresh and authentic. My children don't usually eat Mexican food, but they loved it and ate all of it. This is a must go place with good food and good prices.

First time here today and I was pleasantly surprised by this super cute hole in the wall restaurant! Such great Mexican food! The most expensive thing on the menu was probably $9 so it's definitely affordable! *^*^*~CASH ONLY *^*^*^*~ Everything is home cooked! The salsa, the warm freshly made tortilla chips! The pico de gallo with its nice kick. The very hot jalapeños and carrots and onion curtido! So right when you enter before you get your free salsa and chips, you'll notice the frescoes! The murals not only outside but inside the small restaurant! So beautiful and colorful! They have quetzals and women in traditional Mexican clothing. They have every table with a poster from a tourist Destination in Mexico. They have landscapes of realistic Mexican countrysides and pyramids. The walls have artisanal clay decorations. An eclectic taste of Mexican art and beauty. Needless to say very happy and homey dinning ambiance. I ordered a giant chicken quesadilla. Guacamole was not extra! Also came with a side of beans and cheese all for $6! Delicious. There was a lot of cheese and chewy grilled chicken. I hate when a quesadilla doesn't have the right chicken to cheese ratio. This one was perfect. I also had a Jamaica. Ok. Jamaica is tricky because I've had some that are too sweet that you can tell there was an artificial product added. Whether it be artificial sugar like corn syrup or sweetener. This was not the case at Los Antojitos. Which if you don't know, translates to the lil cravings. I had a big craving for Jamaica and I was happy it was homemade and not ridiculously sweet. I could taste the slight bitterness of the jamaica flower! My uncle had the huevos rancheros. Not spicy and very runny in sauce. He mentioned how funny it is to go to different Mexican restaurants and see their huevos rancheros style. He was happy with this new one. Overall. TL;DR A++ yelp friendly, has won awards. Homemade with love. Authentic,affordable, Mexican food. (Cops eat here a lot because the police department is right in front/ waitress and menu are bilingual. ) *Easy parking out front and in the back. Breakfast is not served all day and ends at noon.

This is my favorite restaurant in all of Los Angeles. It is super clean, has the friendliest service anywhere and the food is fresh and delicious. Please know it is a "cash only" restaurant. It is frequented by the local LAPD, LAFD and several local politicians, so *you KNOW* the menu and food is good. I'm a picky eater put I pick Los Antojitos as my favorite restaurant in LA because I get the most for my dollar here. Of course there are the "uppity" restaurants in DTLA which I love -for the special occasion and where you will PAY dearly- but for a place that feels and tastes like home, this is it.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this place. It definitely felt like a local hole-in-the-wall spot with a comfortable feel that definitely places you on the eastside. Boyle Heights, without a doubt! There are ample parking spaces in the back and you can enter/exit through the back or the front. The service is on point. The complimentary salsas (two levels of spice and texture) as well as the fresh guacamole (muy rico!) with the restaurant style tortilla chips are a great enticing introduction to what you're about to eat. I ordered the enchiladas de pollo (chicken enchiladas) con mole based on another review that I read (this was not on the menu) and was pretty satisfied with my meal. Moles la Tia, in my opinion, still has the best mole in the area but this was still a great meal and definitely made me full with the frijoles (beans) y arroz (beans and rice) combination. The jamaica was good and my friend was satisfied with her flautas combination and horchata. I would definitely come back when I'm craving a "home cooked" type of meal and a comforting atmosphere. It's a great place to stop in during a work lunch since the service is pretty fast. I'm still salivating thinking about their guacamole and salsas. I should have taken them "to go" :)
