I’ve been coming here for years and this place hasn’t changed one bit lol. I love coming here for the food. Its really good and it just feels/taste homemade plus its cheap. Yes it can be a little scary for some but I don’t mind it. I’m a FAN!

Originally a grocery store turned into a catering and fast and easy food venue, which used to operate 20 hours a day. My parents opened this biz and we used to make 2000 sandwiches a day, to include a steak sandwich rivaling Philadelphia Cheesesteaks; eventually adding breakfasts, chili dogs, chili and rice, burritos and even Japanese bento boxes(no longer on the menu) which accommodated the local business clientele. In 1990, my dad passed his biz to his devoted cook, Miguel, to have a chance to «make it» in the business world. Miguel loyally continues to this day with every idea of the original Martha’s Kitchen(although fewer hours) and added more items to the Mexican food menu. The area is not Rodeo Drive but the food is great and the price is always right. Worth a real adventure in our diverse City of Los Angeles.

I was walking in the CUTS and randomly stumbled in here. I was brought in by the smell of something good grilling. When you walk in, there is a counter/register to your left and a open kitchen to your right. There are refrigerators towards the back stocked with a very large variety of drinks — soda, teas, juices, etc. Behind the register clerk you can find beer, cigarettes, and some other items. I was hungry so ordered myself and my co-worker a LARGECHILICHEESEFRIES and it came out to $ 7. So cheap, fast, greasy, and good. Don’t let the rough interior and sketchy neighborhood fool you. They have an A health inspection rating and you can see that their kitchen is clean and well kept. I will be back to try their other stuff for sureee. Note: They have ATM inside and they charge $ 0.75 for credit/debit. Great GEM in Skid Row.

Authentic homemade food. It feels like I’m in Mexico. Fresh juices and protein shakes for $ 5. Not in the best neighborhood(skid row) NOTRECOMMENDEDIFYOUAREPICKY but if you want to save money and you are close by this is a good place to grab something to go. Good portion sizes. The food is good and cooks are nice.

Little hole in the wall in skid row. It actually looks a little scary, but the food is pretty good. The pastrami is yummy.

Just a little place in a weird part of DTLA that has uhhhhhhhhhhhhmazing grilled cheese sandwiches for $ 2.50. Buttery. Crunchy. Oozing with that yellow American goodness. That is all. Simple perfection. Little Tokyo is to your north, Skid Row to your south. Choose your own adventure.

Martha’s Kitchen is located between Little Tokyo and Central City East(a.k.a skid row). It’s not the type of place anyone would go out of their way to go. I definitely wouldn’t. I work nearby and this is the closest place I can go and get food without driving. Martha’s Kitchen serves authentic LA-Mexican food. So far, I’ve tried 2 – 3 items on their menu but ever since I tried their steak & rice combo, I have not tried anything else. Depending on who is cooking that day, my steak takes on a different shape. Usually it’s chopped but today it was thin cut(like Carne Asada). The seasoning is simple and straight-forward, just salt and pepper. The rice is regular medium grain white rice. The combo cost about $ 7 and it comes with salad and a cup of chili. Overall the food taste kind of plain so I always take it to go and when I get back to my office, I add magical condiments to it: Ponzu & Sriracha hot sauce. ANY piece of lightly seasoned meat and rice will taste good if you add ponzu sauce and sriracha hot sauce. I always check the fridge at work and confirm that those 2 condiments are available before venturing out to Martha’s Kitchen. Without Ponzu sauce and Sriracha hot sauce, I’d rather brave the nightmarish parking situation in Little Tokyo or starve. If by any chance you read my review and for some weird reason you have the urge to eat at Martha’s Kitchen, DONOT bring cash. Use either credit or debit card. If you must use cash, have the exact amount ready. Trust me, you don’t want to get any change from this place.
