The Mexican Express - La Puente

I've been coming to this place since I was a little kid, and I can honestly say this is the best place to go when your craving some homemade Mexican food. The owner is a lovey person that greets you like a friend and you can tell that she puts lots of care and love into her food. The tortas are my absolute favorite and a great option for lunch. The gorditas are also great! There is also a special menu on the weekends. All the food is made fresh by the owner.

Ordered to large menudos, got home and served and was very DISAPOINTED , I'm like 13$ each and had no meat . It had a portion of a small size menudo it was all juice, NEVER again will I order from there.NEVER!!!!!!!

Mex Express is still open! You can place an order over the phone for pick up to still enjoy their Mexican food! All employees are wearing masks and doing their best to minimize contact with customers. Family owned and great place to support during this time!

The owner is such a nice lady, she cooks anything I order from her, she also cooks everything fresh! Enjoy the food a lot.

After seeing all the good reviews, I feel bad about giving it only 2 stars. Came in on a Friday, around 5pm. First time here. The place was empty. In fact, the owner/cook was talking to someone outside the restaurant. Upon seeing us walk into the restaurant, she quickly came inside and asked if we knew what we wanted. Note, there is not menu. Everything is posted on the board. I ordered the taquitos ala carte, and one carne asada taco. Both was con todo (with everything). To go. It took a really long time for the food to come out. I 'm assuming it 's because everything was freshly made. The taquitos were covered in cotija cheese and lettuce. No guacamole, nothing else. The inside was some kind of paste. I can 't even tell you what animal it came from. The tortilla on my carne asada taco was dry and tasted stale. The meat was also dry and tasteless. It only had cilantro and no onions. Is that con todo ? Maybe it was an off day. Maybe since it was a Friday, she was running low on supplies. We were waiting for food for almost 30 minutes. In that time, not one person came in to order food. That could be a good thing because I don 't see how she can run the restaurant all by herself if it got remotely busy. Based on the other reviews, it seems she has some loyal customers, and I wish her success. She was very warm and friendly.
