| - Very disappointed. I've been going to El Tepeyac in East LA since I was young so I know what the flavors should be. With that being said, this was not the flavors I remember. ( I just moved here from California about a month ago so it hasn't been long since the last we tried). We went yesterday for dinner hoping for the taste we remember but it was far off. First off, menu is still a printed piece of paper, secondly the Salsa was like tomato sauce, like it was really bad. So On to our meal, in which we ordered the Original Manuel special and a side of taquitos. So the burrito Came out, size wise they got it down, but flavor and look of The burrito was off. It was not smothered in its Chile and cheese like we all know, it was dry, like really dry. We had to ask for more sauce to try to make it taste descent. I don't know how many tortillas they wrapped it in either because I got no other taste other than tortilla in which I left a majority on my plate. So It's like a digging for your food game looking for something other than tortilla. The guacamole was very bland. Definitely not the guacamole we are used to in the burrito or on top of the taquitos. The service was good, until we left. We paid the waitress (who was also the bartender). Left the tip and bagged the remaining food and began heading out when one of the waiters or bus boys rudely says to the hostess in front of us "Hey molly, did they pay or are they leaving" just as we were walking out! I can not believe it. "Did he just say that? " I said and looked at the hostess and said that was very rude. You should communicate with your severs before you rudely open your mouth and insult someone. So, with that being the cherry on top, we definitely will not be returning. It was a complete waste of money. AND the location is inside a retirement center, it's a bad location to place this restaurant that definitely did not live up to the name us Mexicans know all so well.
