Great authentic homemade Mexican food.reminds me of abuelitas cooking..great food for great prices..$8 wet burritos can't beat that.. definitely try 301 cafe you will not regret it
Although it's been many years since I've been here, it hasn't changed a bit. First started coming here in 1964. I loved how the salsa would make my nose run. I was not disappointed in reliving those memories.
The aerospace industry was booming in the early '60s. My father and his friends would cash their checks at 301 Cafe to buy pitchers of beer on Payday. We families would join the party and eat dinner with them. I ate my first "restaurant" taco at here in 1964-65. The restaurant is now 75+ years old and still going strong. …

We have been coming …

Genuinely great service, great food, and great people, all at an insanely low price in this economy. Hidden location made me unsure at first, but well well worth it..my boss and coworkers rave about this place and I'm glad they took me here.
That place has been there for so long. It's still going. My mom and dad used to go there when it was a bar. It's definitely a dive. But it is amazing. Food, 👌👌 Excellent..
Some of the best Mexican I’ve had and I’ve had a lot. First of all, you are alittle worried about how it looks alittle run down, but then you find out it’s been here for 75 years and the people running it have been doing so for 50 years. The food is amazing and they start your meal with chips …
