Where do I start? The place has this salon for event/ party vibe looking at decor, Staff is friendly and attentive, they got a Mexican Italian fusion food. Food was well made, fresh and delicious. Meat, veggies, shrimp, and pasta seasoned very good for my taste. Agua de horchata was fresh, didn't taste premade. Tiramisu was great, could taste the coffee and it wasn't overpowering, chips and salsa were good. Everything here made fresh and taste like homemade. Worth the wait and price.
I keep going to amazing place., ! The food is excellent., tasty., the owner Javier is a super host., the place is hidden gem in the middle of Maywood.,
Food Service and ambiance were nice. A large party received their food hot. All but one at the same time. We all enjoyed the quality of the food. I highly recommend Rajas con crema

Please support this establishment if you're wondering where to eat next. Honestly, Rajas Con Crema has been my go to restaurant. I think I've eaten here about 20 times now, and every time I am fully satisfied. Satisfied with the food, the quality, the staff, the take out and even their fresh flowers on each table. I have brought my extended family to try the food here because of how much I love it. Javier has always made us feel at home and has always made great conversation with my little one, which I really appreciate. (Sometimes restaurants forget that children are people too and want to be in conversation too) Anyways, I can go into how each dish is delicious but I'll just say this, they have alllll been delicious. Their chips with salsas are the best! I always want to take their salsas home with me haha I always try to get a side of Rajas con crema because it is the best! I can never choose between salsa verde or mole for my enchiladas because I want both! If you dine in you can actually ask for both in one order which I love! My daughter loves her enfrijoladas de queso. Oh my! And the tacos de birria a la plancha are finger licking good! And no, I don't know anyone personally and I am not getting compensated for this review. Lol it's just that I love the food here! So yea, can't wait to eat here again!
I absolutely love this place ! From the food to the service ! Our go to is carne en jugo and Pasta a la Boscaiola with pancetta .
I've tried their delicious rajas con crema, but had to return to try their tacos de Birria. Really enjoyed the combination of the savory consommé and crispy tacos. The Birria was really tender and perfectly seasoned. I also loved having multiple salsas to choose from and the red onion and cilantro medley. Will need to return to try their Birria torta and their corn cake à la mode. Service and ambiance was wonderful as well.
This place is a gem! The food is amazing and they have the best cafe de olla! If you stop by for breakfast on Saturday or Sunday the chilaquiles verdes are a must paired with a chorizo queso fundido for appetizer. The owners are wonderful, and service is great!
Visited here because our Airbnb Host recommended it. I wish I had kept photos of this place because everything I had was great. I got their chicken with mole and sorry to my mom but they know how to throw it down. The mole was super flavorful and to some extent had some smokiness to it, really well done. I asked for an extra side of rice in substitute of their beans (just don't like beans in general) and I'm assuming it was the owner said that wouldn't be a problem. He was actually really nice talking to other people visiting the restaurant. I can't remember what it was called but it was the shot of espresso with Horchata. The Horchata was really silky and very good. As much as I love coffee/espresso, I would enjoy it without it since they give it to you in the little cup for you to pour in. Nothing was wrong with the espresso but with how good he horchata was I felt like I was doing a disservice putting the espresso in the drink (no disrespect though) Lastly, they give you these tortilla chips with salsa. I didn't even try the salsa so I can't speak on it but the chips are those double fried ones¿??? Absolute gas and not oily like other places do it and still held its "freshness" Overall, this place was definitely fire. Parking in the back was pretty easy too. If I ever come back to Cali and I'm looking for some mole/ nice Mexican food. This place is it.
