Angie’s Luncheonette 2

Wow. These al pastor tacos were bursting with flavor. This restaurant is hidden away in a small corner of a shopping center and it deserves all its praise!!

The food was amazing. No notes. Service and atmosphere need some work. I think playing music would help!

I want to come back to try breakfast because I always hear good things about Angie’s, but I was not impressed with the chile relleno I got for dinner. I was surprised to see it was filled with an orange cheese and covered in a salty sauce. The best thing was a green salsa I asked for on the side of my chicken tamale. The tamale was dry, but better than the relleno. I had higher hopes for the Mexican portion of their menu.

We were excited to try the new location after being longtime fans of the original restaurant, but unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. We paid $4 for a tamale that turned out to be moldy—clearly visible dark green and black spots on the corn husk. As someone who works in the restaurant industry, I recognize the signs of poor food storage and sanitation, and this was unacceptable. It’s frustrating because we used to love the food from the old place, but this new location doesn’t meet the same standards. Food safety should be a top priority, especially when serving something as simple as a tamale. After this experience, we’re hesitant to return, and I hope the owners take this as a wake-up call to tighten up their kitchen.

We love the original Angie's and were happy to try their new spot while they work on their old location. Everything was great, service was friendly. I got the chorizo Benedict and it was fantastic!
