El Patio Tepeyac

This is a hidden little business park gem that most people won’t go to due to its location. There are many industries around here and most of the patrons work in the many buildings surrounding the restaurant. They offer lunch specials but I ordered the Hollenback burrito which is a nice big portion meal that kept me full all day. It was very good and fresh tasting and the chili they serve is hot.

This place is a hidden gem. And we went on a SATURDAY, so they are open on Saturdays until 3 pm. They are mostly open for workers around the block and I wish they can open for dinner. Employees are friendly, they helped us with the menu since it was our first. They have the best wet burritos in town and very affordable. There are a lot of parking spots so no need to worry about parking. Food get out fairly quick especially if you only have 30 minutes of lunch time. Can’t wait to go back and enjoy our meals there again.

Parking: Ample. They have a parking lot with a lot of street parking as well. It is in a factory/​office district of Alhambra
They have ample seating with plenty of seating in the back. I got the Okie burrito with beef and a taco with asada + enchilada with beef. Not a big fan of their beef which is basically braised and torn up beef. The asada they have is very juicy and flavorful. They definitely give you a lot of food.
The one thing I found disappointing was that they use fake guacamole. I know right! Well, I think it is fake, well not fresh to say the least cause it is bright green and watery.
Not my to go to wet burrito place but it is a nice clean Mexican restaurant with a friendly staff. But if you want a burrito, I think Chipotle is a tough competitor for the price.

Hole in the wall, easily missed, industrial area, good burritos, soups, breakfast, lunch, and early dinner place, closes at 5 on weekdays 4 on weekends.

Great wet burritos… red sauce is like a flavorful mexican meat sauce. I would want to drink it. The Caldo de Pollo is fresh and excellent. Freshly made… yummy!

Stopped by here the other day — at the recommendation of a friend. I’m sorry — it was the dump of dumps. Subsized fare the likes of which you might get from a roach coach you’d not want to revisit. I was just so very not impressed. On the other hand my friend seemed satisfied. Oh well ~ I won’t be going back — unless my friend is buying.

Their food is good. Not bad at all but not the best Mexican food around. Prices are decent. Only problem is that their waitresses can be rude at times and should probably crack a smile here and there!

Good food in a little unassuming spot. Love Machaca burrito.

It is open for breakfast and lunch. Not to be confused with the Tepeyac in East LA. The plates here serve less the taste are similar. Great place for lunch. The Cocido and enchiladas are the best thing on the menu.

What can I say it’s simple to the point and Delicious. You get in and get out and continue your day if you have a crazy schedule like I do., I come here for the Breakfast burritos, I highly recommend the Chorizo con papas plain no rice or beans and the Huevo con carne machaca with No cheese, it’s a wet Burrito, again these are my personal choices and made to my taste. The Menudo and Cocido are tasty as well. Did I mention they have micheladas for that hangover cure or when you just need a refresher at noon time. Enjoy NOTE: They take phone orders & Free local Delivery.

Been there many times for lunch. The hit sauce that comes with tortilla chips is so look hot and awesome. Price is fair for lunch and drinks $ 7-​$ 10. The only draw back they charge you for EVERY refill you ask for and that us unAmerican in the land of plenty.

This review rating is solely on the service me and my girlfriend received. We first went in, reviewing the menu before accepting the invitation from a (kind man) who greeted us at the counter. We finally made the decision to sit down and eat, as we walked in, a rather large Latina female stared me down as if I wasn’t suppose to walk in and sit down. I sat down where I wanted to, she looked at us as if we weren’t suppose to do that nor did she take control of the situation and tell us where to go, or smile ONCE.
I understand being heavy set is frustrating, however you leave your problems at the door. Didn’t ask for a name, however she looked between 24 – 28 and quite hefty. Every time my girlfriend (who is Asian) asked for something, she would smirk and roll her eyes, however everyone who was in the restaurant, she would say «sank you» and wish them a good day.
The food is great, I enjoyed it, we got the Holenback burrito, which was awesome. However we will not be coming back due to the service which was given by this behemoth of a woman. My girlfriend (who is asian) asked for a refill on her coke, and all this parasite said back was «we sharge, we sharge», so we just got another water.
Me and my girlfriend were waiting for 5 – 10 minutes to get her attention, because she was too busy chatting it up with her grandma at the bar of the restaurant. Finally, another coworker of hers (who was on his lunch) had to step up and get her attention because he seen how frustrating this had become. I hope the owner gets a chance to read this, and has a stern talk with her, I will not come back to restaurant as long as this animal is serving.

Literally the biggest burrito you will ever have. 3 of my friends & I shared it and we still didn’t finish it! It was a really good burrito. And they also have really good guacamole!

This place is hidden but the food is alright here. I’ve had caldo de albondigas and a burrito. The soup needs more flavor and the meat has a lot of fat. :/​. Been to better places.

Had to up them one star since I learned that they have $ 2 Coronas on Fridays.

Nothing special here. I’ve seen the signs for El Tepeyac Patio for years and always wondered whether it’s an offshoot of the East LA original. Apparently it’s not, even though they have dishes on the menu with the same name (for example, Hollenbeck burrito). The salsa that you get with your chips is also like a purée — it’s a little too smooth. Does it come from a can or a jar? I got the very standard can’t miss 2 tacos with rice & beans. The kitchen was fast, but the taste was so-​so. The worst part, tho, was what passes for guacamole at this place. Can you see any on these tacos?
It’s the faint green stuff that looks like it came from Smart & Final. No, that’s not guacamole. I think the avocado salsa at El Pollo Loco tastes better than this stuff. Oh well, at least I got to satisfy my curiosity. Next!

Not bad hole in the wall located in an industrial area. Not the original across from evergreen though. Similar menu but not the same. Not bad though. Good service as the waitresses have been there for years. Better than the chains they said are family members of the original el tepeyac but who knows. Good dive food. Hours are limited so call before if your driving from afar. Worth the try. Good portion sizes for the money.

This place is a rip off of Manny’s El Tepeyac in Boyle Heights, right down to copying the name of the dishes. As soon as I walked in I asked if they were associated with the original Tepeyac, and they said they’re not. So much for originality.
As for flavor, you won’t find any. We ordered a machaca burrito, carnitas burrito, beef taquitos, jamaica, and an horchata. It was all completely bland. I literally wanted to walk the salt and pepper shakers over to the cook and introduce them to each other. I couldn’t finish my machaca because a quarter of the way through it, I just couldn’t stomach it anymore. My husband finished his carnitas burrito, but regretted it later because he got a stomach ache. The horchata had a strange film on it, which was disgusting.
You’re better off going to La Cafeina a block away on Palm Ave. — it’s not great, but it’s better than this wannabe Tepeyac. They seriously put the name to shame and I hope Manny sues them for stealing their name and menu.
This imitator proves some people will eat anything… and actually like it. Unilocalers shouldn’t let Unilocalers eat bad food.

I just happen to be in Alhambra and it was lunch time. Using the search engine on my GPS, I looked for some place new to eat. When I saw the name of this restaurant it looked familiar so I decided to give it a try. VERY glad I did. Turns out this place is really popular with the people working around the area. I would have NEVER found this place just driving around. It’s located on a small industrial street and if you blink you’ll miss it. I ordered the chicken burrito. I was kind of disappointed that it was filled with more rice than chicken, but it was still really good. And it was HUGE. Had enough left over to finish for dinner. Next time gonna order the all meat burrito. But the place itself is small and clean. You can see the cooks preparing your food. This one of my new fave places to get some good Mexican food.

Went here last Saturday with Alicia we stopped in before our movie.
I had 2 soft tacos (what NOT a surprise… yes this I know) The chips and Salsa were the BOMB! Salso nice and spicy. Alicia got Enchilada and a taco with beans and rice from the looks of her (Completely empty) plate I would say she enjoyed her’s just fine.
The Guacamole is not the chunky type more like the odd colored green thinner style not soupy thin just weird consistency… good flavor though.
This place is in a Industrial area so if you are looking for it just know that you are in the right place if you should see Industrial offices and buildings.
