I wish I lived closer. We parked right in front of the 99cents store and saw this bakery right next to it and got some stuff. We got enormous toasted croissant, coffee and sometime of coffee with chocolate,it was quite good but I wish it had been hot as I would have enjoyed it more.
Def. gonna stop by here if I am in the neighborhood.
Mama Leti's is a breath of fresh air on Junction Blvd. In an area that is up to it's neck in Spanish restaurants of all varieties, Mama Leti's offers up a little something extra. You can find lots of good food in the area, but just TRY to find yourself some ambiance. It's near impossible! Mama Leti's is an exception.
This is a retaurant/bakery. When you walk in, you're greeted with the sweet smelling aroma of their fresh baked goodies. Walk in further, and you'll find a small seating area. Recently remodeled, I think the best word to describe this place is darling. Too cute, very clean and a pleasant change from the places nearby.
I ordered the media noche and it was greasy deliciousness. Ham, mortadella, pernil, melted swiss and pickles on a soft, sweet roll. Really authentic, and very filling. I'm still dreaming about it, and I'll be ordering it again when I return. I also had a chicken empanada. The filling was great, but the shell was too hard. Skip it, you can find better empanadas nearby at any number of places. I also fell in love with their homemade hot sauce, mixed with cilantro and served in a tiny dish. If it had been bottled, I would've stolen it and brought it home!
My Mom had the oxtail soup, which came in a generous portion and she finished every last bite. She also had the churrasco, which we intended to share. I was too full to have more than a few bites. That one plate alone would have been MORE THAN ENOUGH for one person. The steak, of course, isn't exactly USDA prime meat. But, it's tasty and they work wonders with it. It's a poor man's steak, pounded thin and served with rice, eggs, fries and salad. At $12, it's a steal and also, the most popular thing on their menu.
Grabbed a tres leches to go, and it didn't disappoint. I had low expectations for Mama Let's, but it was far better than I thought. I'll be back again for another media noche.
I am falling in love with Corona restaurants and bakeries. One reason due to Mama Leti's. Although I just came here for dessert and coffee, i was very impressed with the pastries made here. Came out was a fresh cheese phyllo dough pastry which was to die for. Fresh or not this I am sure it would be just as good. Coffee is good as well. After reviewing the menu I would definitely come back for their lunch/dinner options.
