Love this place although there have been some changes. My main gripe is the salsa. The old dark red, smooth, almost mole', salsa is gone, replaced by a kind of generic salsa along with one other type I only tried once. I bring my own hot sauce now. And the guacamole is hit or miss (mostly miss) on the flavor. Too many add-ins to stretch it out, I guess avocados are expensive. Dang, I sure miss the old days but I still go 90 miles to eat here!

I've never been there. Why does Yelp ask me to review places I've never been? I may have looked it up. Fix this, Yelp.

Love the burrito. Comfort food for sure! Service is fast and friendly. Chicken nachos are also delicious.

Great food and service! I am definitely coming back! This is the steak picado burrito.

Mini Hollenback burrito! Service is always excellent ! Line can be a little long since it's a small establishment but I believe it's totally worth the wait !! I recommend it to everyone!!!

The legend! Been here for decades and delicious as ever. The Hollenbeck burrito is a culinary expedition and the mini size is still enormous. You can eat inside with waiter service or order outside and sit at outside tables. Easy to park, as long as you're not on n the noon hour.

EL TEPEYAC so many memories a family stable that's been going on for decades! Been coming here since I was a baby I'm pretty sure but whenever I'm in Boyle Heights this is a Must! The service is always top tier the lady that served me today sweet as she has been everytime I come into the restaurant to eat, very kind and always attentive to all her tables going above and beyond making sure your comfortable and eating comfortably. The restaurant is always clean even tho it gets super packed in here it's always a good vibe no drama just families and friends enjoying their selves with good food! I got my usual the original Hollenbeck with an add-on of cheese and extra pork and and it never disappoints! Soft tender juicy carne de puerco in its salsa verde with the rice., beans, and guacamole the melted cheese on top with its baño makes it perfect went well with a Mexican Coke. Coming here since I was a kid and they never their touch shout out to Don Manuel in Heaven for blessing us with this restaurant. In highly recommend it to anyone in the Boyle Heights area! Little FYI it does get packed so if your trying to dine inside their might be a line so please be patient Food 10/10 Cleanliness 10/10 Service 10/10

To many, Boyle Heights is the mecca of Mexican food in Los Angeles. El Tepeyac Café remains one of the landmark restaurants in the neighborhood, attracting loyal patrons and legions of new customers for nearly 70 years. A family-owned business, the Rojas family has prepared delicious, traditional Mexican cuisine with recipes passed down through generations. This quaint cafe is arguably one of the most famous restaurants where you can enjoy a burrito. El Tepeyac Café serves some of LA's biggest, tastiest burritos, including the Manuel's Special - a gargantuan 5-pound burrito! Not to be outdone, their taco and enchilada combination plates are wildly popular and what drew me to the restaurant. A combo includes a huge hard-shelled corn tortilla taco stuffed with chicken or beef, enchilada in red sauce, and rice and beans. The portions are generous and the price, at $13.22, is very reasonable. I enjoyed my dish but did not feel anything was exceptional. If you are dining alone like I was during their busy lunch hours, you will have to eat at the counter and be lucky if there is an open seat. Good food, large serving sizes, reasonably priced dishes, and great service. I look forward to trying one of their famous burritos on my next visit here.

have been coming to this Boyle Heights institution, which we still call Manuel's, for over 40 years. Our parents brought us here practically every weekend for breakfast, when there was invariably a long but fast-moving line, and proprietor Manuel (Rojas) himself offering tequila shots at the door. Back then and maybe now, they only had menudo on the weekends. Back then and maybe now, lots of USC folks came here. Manuel has passed on, but his family still runs the place, and it hasn't changed its appearance at all, and the menu is pretty much the same too. Service is still quick and friendly. Ordering to-go at the window outside is equally quick. They now work with some delivery apps too. My go-to dishes then and now are the huevos rancheros, machaca burrito (not the Okie machaca), and the tacos and taquitos. The taste and size of the dishes have not changed. Their ranchero sauce is chunky with onions, peppers and cheese, their salsa moderately spicy. Their guacamole is loose because it has both lettuce and tomato. It's nice sometimes when things are as you always remember them.
