  I love this place!! It's small restaurant with its own private parking lot. Inside is very clean and cozy! You're instantly greeted and chips and salsa served while you pick from the menu.
  
  Service is always amazing! We came in with a large group of people. No mistakes were made. We all got separate billed, and paid in back at the cash register. The food was hot and perfect. The waiter was so patient. We had a picky eater that didn't want lime for her tea so they sent it back. The waiter took in stride. I was just really impressed that with our large party the one waiter kept up with our orders and made sure our drinks were always filled. So if you have a large party expect the best service.

  If I could give this place 4.5 out of 5 stars I would.  The only reason it's not 5 star is due to no air conditioning in the restaurant.  I found this place based on yelp reviews and once again, they got it right!  
  This place is really good!!   In the South Bay there are tons of Mexican spots to choose from but what sets this place apart is, the food taste authentic and the portions are a good size and as a added plus, the food is flavorful and not greasy.   We tried the combo plates with cheese enchiladas, shredded beef enchiladas, carne asada taco and ground beef taco with rice and beans and it was all delicious.  Not a single complaint.  The complimentary chips n salsa were freshly made and the chunky salsa was just a tad hot but not overpowering.   Seems silly to add but they offer real brewed iced tea (not soda machine tea like many places) and crushed ice for drinks.  
  The service was wonderful as well.  Attentive and friendly staff and very accommodating.  As it was our first time there, the waitress was very patient and  went thru all our option choices for our tacos n enchiladas.  
  The restaurant is a cute clean little spot right on Hawthorne. If you didn't know it was there, you could miss it, if your just driving by.  But, it's worth looking for and stopping.  We will definitely be back (just maybe on a cooler So. Cali day).   Keep up the great job Raul's staff!!

  Marvelous Mexican food; all I can say is "wow!" The salsa was off the chain! The beef enchiladas and tacos were perfect! The server was polite, professional, and genuinely pleasant (I hate shady waitresses that give fake smiles). Although I arrived fifteen minutes before closing, the food and customer service were simply awesome! I'm definitely coming back to this wonderful establishment.

  We ordered a couple supreme burritos to be delivered through DoorDash. I've never tasted Mexican food as bland as this. Completely devoid of spice. Very disappointed considering the reviews I read.
