Best consomé in all of LA hands down. The doors are handmade with cheese cream and salsa you decide your choice of meat but my personal favorite is cecina.

Onofre Restaurant makes an excellent 'birria de chivo' Sonora style. The meat is very tender and the seasoning is on point; so on point that I only had to squeeze a little lime. I ordered three tacos in the smaller tortilla and it was more than enough; their portions are generous. I also have to mention that their spanish rice has that home made taste and it's done right.

Really good authentic mexican food, very nice staff and the owner is very friendly. I don't have much complain about this place, besides it not accepting debit. So don't forget to take cash, but the food is good and the staff is nice.

This place is is fantastic. I got Huaraches de Cesina, Consume con Carne de Barbacoa, Taco de Barbacoa, with Salsa de Mole. Everything was great. Someone let me try their beef soup and I was blown away. I highly recommend the Barbacoa and Consome. Word is they have bands on the weekend. I will be coming back here; delightful food and atmosphere.

loved it! Restaurant Onofre offers some Good authentic mexican food and environment. They have a good selection of classic mexican drinks and dishes at great prices. I had the "Torta de Asada" which is basically the Mexican version of a stake sandwich and it was Amazing. With its hefty size and delicious taste it exceeded all my expectations. Pair it up with their home made "Horchata (rice drink)", "Jamaica" (sweet hibiscus tea), or a Jarritos soda for a truly authentic mexican casual dining experience, wothout having to go south of the border.

Ive been coming here for ages and so have my parents. We even made it a new years thing to get these every new years eve celebration. Love this place. It has gotten quite due to covid cause before they had singers. But still love the food.

Everyone needs to try their cecina! Love their handmade tortillas as well as their barbacoa de borrego. The cecina and barbacoa is made like back in their hometown in Morelos. Not the fanciest of foods but it sure reminds people of back home.

The restaurant is big and clean, the cashier and everyone are so nice, excellent customer service, my Husband ordered birria de chivo with hand made tortillas, I got French toast with eggs and both were delicious, everything was perfect except if you don't like flies (moscas) around you, but other than that is excellent, I will go back for a molcajete, thank you Onofre
