Restaurantji's Burbank picks for the finest Mexican cuisine.
“An absolute gem in Burbank! I was craving cafe de olla and chilaquiles, so my husband and I initially tried the restaurant down the street which has blown up on social media in recent years. With an hour and a half wait we headed over to Mex Cocina, and I'm SO glad we did! We have found a delicious spot in our new neighborhood and the staff made us feel right at home in a cozy environment. We'll definitely be returning with the whole family“
“Super cute restaurant good luck finding parking though. I was lucky and got there as someone was leaving. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is very comfortable. We got the tacos al pastor and they were delicious, so much flavor. The enchiladas were delicious too, I just didn’t really like the rice but I’m picky with Mexican rice. Can’t wait to visit again and try something else on the menu! Oh! And the chips and salsa were fresh! My mom loved the salsa and she’s usually picky too lol“
“I can't believe I waited so long to try this place. It's the perfect little taco stand with fresh ingredients, great salsa/guacamole and delicious jamaica! Great option for a quick lunch or picking up a quick dinner to bring home to the family. The guys behind the counter is super friendly and helpful too.“
“Tacos are delicious. Love the options they have. I will suggest getting the sampler order to see which tacos you like the most. All their tacos are really good, but my favorite is chicharron, bistek en salsa roja, calabacitas, and chile relleno. The agua fresca de melon is really good, too. Don't forget to request salsa on the side. It is really good and spicy.“
“Had a birria wet burrito that was fantastic. Good portion, great meat with very little fat. Also had a hard shell asada taco that was great. The best part was the salsa - both different from the standard taco shop places and both were 10/10. I would buy a big container for the home of both. The green was thin, smokey, a little sweet and a lot of cumin taste - so good. I love spicy and the red was very very spicy but didn't sacrifice any flavor to get there. Go here, keep this local family business growing - it's a gem.“
“I used to come to this location when it was Cody's Viva Cantina. It was a great spot for live music 7 days a week. Celia's isn't currently a place for live music but the food is quite good and a good option for a weekday lunch when everything else is crowded. A sound check was going on for karaoke later in the week. I had the Cochinita Pibil, Yucatan style pulled pork with rice and beans. The rice and beans left much to be desired but the pork was excellent. I also liked the tortillas and chips which I assume had to have been home-made. I look forward to trying more dishes and am glad to have found a good restaurant that isn't overwhelmed during the lunch hour.“
“To whom it may concern, this was first visit and I can only speak for myself. Your staff were friendly and made me feel welcome, also the food was delicious. served fresh and hot. The two ladies behind the register were great and help me with their suggestions on the menu. Believe me I will return. Just moved from Southern Texas I recommend this restaurant. I will see you ladies and the rest of the staff soon.“
“I needed a place to eat near St. Josephs Hospital. I found this restaurant where they were very friendly and the food was tasty and, above all, very abundant. The tortilla chips as a starter were complimentary, I ordered a lemonade and an asada burrito and rolled out of there.“
“Best breakfast burrito I've ever had! I'm a California native & a connoisseur of breakfast burritos. The "Antojito" has refried black beans & the lightest crispy hash browns! If you want a mountain of bacon, go to Lucky Boy in Pasadena. I will be at Antojitos where the balance is perfect! Great green salsa too!The Cafe de Olla is great! That's coffee brewed with extras like cinnamon, orange, & pilloncillo (brown sugar cane). Delicious“
“Came here during the dinner rush and had to wait a little bit for a table, which makes sense on a Saturday night. Overall, the service was fine, but it was nothing spectacular. The restaurant is decorated nicely and has a typical vibe of any Mexican spot in LA. I got the Pomegranate Paloma and the Lobster Burrito, and both were amazing!“
“Everything we've had here has been solid! Can't remember what all I've had. Probably due to the bomb happy hour they have. Don't judge me, I've also been there during a Sunday dinner with the whole family..hahaha. From the tacos to burritos to any thing they offer has been hot, fresh and has great taste. Service is great, attentive, fast, and Johnny on the spot when you need something. Always a yes when wife says, MEXICAN? Umm yeah! Duh!“
“Oh, those potato tacos! YUM YUM, YUM!!! The staff is so nice and friendly and the BOGO deals on Mondays & Tuesdays are sweet! Plus, we love how they bring us a little dish of beans with our chips & salsa. Details like that make Granada special.“
“Small restaurant serving Mexican food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Typical fare of burritos and tacos. Enjoyed the breakfast burrito which we split between the two of us. Definitely was sufficient to satisfy both our appetites. Prices are pretty reasonable and the food is delicious. Seems mostly like a carry out place although they do have a number of tables inside. No outdoor seating and parking is in a lot shared by several stores“
“I was pretty impressed by the little restaurant hub found here in what would otherwise be a massive strip mall. Sharkey’s was a no brainer visit after trying it on another California trip. I couldn’t believe how big a “side” of tortilla chips was - I ended up eating it for days. Good meal, and liked that they had a tofu option.“
“We love it here! I crave the crispy beef tacos like crazy, my son the super burrito. The food is fast, hot. affordable and and yummy. Can be as mild or spicy as you like.The staff are SHY, not rude (according to one person). I find them very nice! They just work hard, and they are ALWAYS there. I'm sure they get tired too, because they always have customers. So, take it easy on them and enjoy a taco, ya?“
“Stopped here on a whim and was blown away by what they did with a simple chicken chimichanga. Honestly one of the best I've ever had. Salsa was nice and fresh and the red sauce had a good bit of flavor to go with its spice. Would love to go here soon in the near future.“
“I cannot believe how delicious this place is, their lomo saltado is 100% worth it! And their green crack sauce is so addicting, delicious!! Super friendly service and they always explain the menu, and specials of the day to you!Parking: Parking is safe and easy to accessKid-friendliness: High chairs for the kids.“
“Enjoy this place. The food is delicious and you get a good food portions. The happy hr and brunch hrs are great as well. They no longer offer bottomless mimosas but they offer them by the glass or by the bottle $18 per bottle to be exact and you get two juice options. The service and ambience is welcoming. It's clean and you are treated as soon as you walk in. The hrs need to be updated on Yelp (already submitted the request) as this Sunday we got there at 11 thinking it was opened but they changed the open time to 11:30am. So just know this change before going there in the morning. Highly recommend to give it a try!“

“Awesome service ! Quick , clean , great staff that makes you feel like home ! I love the fact that they are not rush you, they even make suggestions if you're not sure about your order. The place is clean which is very important for customers like Me . Overall great experience !!!!“
“The restaurant was very kind to my friends and I. They kindly allowed us to park our ebikes inside so we felt less stressed about them being stolen. It was a quiet afternoon otherwise we would never have asked.The food was 10/10 and the service was fantastic. The staff are all friendly and attentive. We will be back very soon & we will bring more of our friends to your wonderful establishment! Thank you again!“
“It's a tiny whole in the wall, stopped for dinner only because of the name. Prices are super high to me, for the amount of food that you get. A soda is $5.50. ?Cute Menus, they also had a QR for the menu. Should've looked at the prices before I ordered. $70 for 2 people. Never again. Sorry Not sorry.“
