Absolutely delicious and fresh Mexican food! My favorite was the bean Tlacoyos. The rolled tacos were perfectly complimented by the lettuce and sauce. I loved how everything came with grilled scallions and serranos. This will be our must-stop spot for road trips!

The food was delicious! The tacos and rice and beans were my favorite! The green enchilada was also very very good. Highly recommend.

Delicious traditional Mexican food and excellent service. Passing through town and found this gem. Def coming back on the way through.

Food was amazing! Yelp reviews don't lie. Quick and kind service and ambiance is a typical Mexican restaurant. Wish we had this restaurant near us!

Outstanding. Had the rolled tacos and it was the best I have ever had. They were like gourmet rolled tacos. The place is cute inside. Well decorated. Family friendly.

Antojitos has always been one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in El Centro. The portions are generous and the food is authentic and seasoned very well. With that said, I have to say that recently my coworkers and I have been very disappointed with the service. Not so much with the servers, but with the time it takes for our food to be prepared in the kitchen. We eat there during our lunch hour, and twice in the last 30 days, we've had to leave the restaurant because we had to get back to work and couldn't wait any longer for our food to come out. The first time happened at their original location. Today, it was at their second location on Main Street. On each occasion, the reason was that there was a large group and the kitchen was swamped. That's no excuse. Large groups at popular restaurants are to be expected, so management needs to ensure proper staffing during peak times. Again, the food is great and the servers are very nice, but if you see a large party and your time is limited, I suggest you go elsewhere.

Looked for a place to stop in El Centro to eat that wasn't KYC or someplace where I would have to get tested for hepatitis afterwards. Something authentic and clean. Yelp comes through once again. Stopped in for a dish I saw on the Yelp review, but the proprietor told me it wasn't available that day. She recommended the chicken soup, that clearly was not the 'chicken soup' I grew up with, but a large bowl of flavor, warmth, spice and, like a warm hug, went by way too fast. I don't go through El Centró often.... But when I do, this will be a stopping spot. Btw.... Cool environment and I even ran into a friend from San Diego who apparently also uses Yelp to make these critical decisions :)

On our way to Arizona we stopped here for a quick lunch based on the good Yelp reviews, and the reviews were right. This is a great 5 star casual restaurant to stop by in El Centro. I had the chilaquiles with 2 eggs over easy and they were the best I have had. I think what really made it great was the home made chips which stayed crispy and delicious throughout the meal. Usually chips in chilat most places quickly get soggy but these stayed pretty crisp I think because they were home made thick chips which tasted like they were just made. My wife and son had the enchiladas (one had the green sauce and the other the red) and both really enjoyed those as well. Service was pretty good as well, though it seems that they all take turns coming by the tables. We started with one person who took the order, but then had 2 or 3 others people either bringing the dishes or the check so you just have to ask any of the servers around you if you need something, but they are nice and responded quickly to anything we needed.

Let me just say that if you are craving some Mexican food and you are from out of town, this is the right spot. Feels cozy and in my opinion very authentic location. Lets talk about the food now. Food tasted as authentic as can be. However, the rice is not to my liking at all. Other than that all was tasty. Food came out warm, not alot of waiting. We did visit on a Tuesday morning. To the local crowd; let's support local businesses!
