LA Chispa DE Oro Restaurants, Los Angeles

I love their refried beans and the tortillas are delicious.

My mother, may she RIP, was probably one of the most meticulous and excellent cooks and there was always one place she loved to go have Mexican food.... Chispa de Oro - she used to say it like it was a taboo word and it made her giddy. I'd never seen my mother like that but realized the food was so good and consistently so that it met her very high standards - and to tell you the truth, it's probably the best Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles - if more people wrote reviews it would pan out and yes, it's literally a whole in the wall - feels like you're in your mom's kitchen and considering how much she loved it - it feels like she cooked the meal for me when I go there - sentimentality aside, the food is that good. Finding parking is possible but sometimes annoying and yet you'll be rewarded and that's incentive enough for me to do it as much as I can. Best place....mom said so

Great place! Real handmade tortillas. I go there for breakfast and recommend this place to all my friends.

Talk about a hole in the wall. This place looks like it would have authentic Mexican food, and it does. I just hope they don't use manteca!

Food and service was exceptional, the family atmosphere makes anyone feel at home.
