Mama testa - Hillcrest

Put some Mexican in you, as the catchy slogan goes, Mama Testa's in Hillcrest offers some hearty mexican dishes that's definitely a step above the Californian mex of typical places.

Low key and comfortable, bright oranges, yellow and blues welcome you. With a full salsa bar, offering abol de fuego, chipotle and roasted onions, one can make a meal out of the salsa bar alone:


A little creativity, and a bowl of tortilla chips becomes a spicy extravaganza.

La Ensalada de los Locos, a romaine based salad with a mild chipotle dressing, served with grilled chicken and tortilla strips.. Fabulous:


Pollo asado, or tacos a la yasuda, sweet grilled chicken on homemade corn tortillas with a little tomatillo salsa..


And for all those who use to love the lotteria at family events, the bathroom is filled with lotteria reminders:



Easy going, low key and tasty bites, mama testa is sure to please.
