Chico's Restaurant 🇲🇽 — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I passed by this restaurant while growing up in Highland Park on Ave 49 hundreds of times. The mural with the mustached chili pepper is a landmark for me. Well, I finally tried it after so many years. Now I know why they’ve been in business for so long. Their food is delicious. I had a cheese tamale that was not too greasy, topped with a delicious tomato sauce, and the menudo without pata. The menudo was not the best I’ve ever had but it was really good.

I give it a 4.5 out of 5 because I want to go back and try more items and check the flavor consistency, but overall, highly recommend. Also, they give chips and salsa.

The portions were good but could have used a tad bit more rice and beans on my combination plate. I do wish they put more cheese on top of the beans. But the beans were excellent and better than most other places I’ve been to.

The salsa and chips were a good appetizer and I’m glad this is included.

There is a small parking lot next door. There is one bathroom outside but it’s clean and...
