50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Century City

“Tocaya Century City is beautiful! For our lunch, we got a simple three taco sampler, which is great for one person to try all the tacos or for two to share as a snack. We also checked in on Yelp and got a free chips and salsa, which was delicious! Service was great as the server shared more info on the taco sampler and our food came out pretty quickly. Ambiance has always been nice at this location as it is part of Westfield Century City, so it's a nice place to stop and get some food while shopping!“

“Great dining in a beautiful atmosphere. The service was very attentive. The food was spectacular and the cocktails were fantastic. Great selection of mezcals, tequila, and other Mexican alcohol. The portions of food are definitely to be shared.“

“This was my first Michelin star restaurant that I have experienced that I heard about from Tik Tok. It lived up to the hype. I recommend going early or after lunch as it packed during lunch time. The line is out the door. The food is delicious and I would recommend to any seafood lover. The prices are reasonable and you get a lot of food in each dish. If you are the the downtown area it definitely a must try. It right next door to the DMV so it not a lot of parking so you have to drive around to a spot open up if you go during lunch time. It is loud in there as it is a food hall with about 6 other restaurants in the same building. It is still a good experience and worth giving a try.“

“After visiting Hijo de su Madre several times for their award winning and phenomenal Yucetecan vegan greatness I was quite excited when I saw on their IG they were adding a vegan burger menu. It just launched a few days ago, but is already my favorite burger (got the Phat Hass Burger) in LA and I have had them all. Even more profoundly, they have the best loaded frots I’ve ever had by a landslide! Run don’t walk to try the new menu (will be on the delivery apps soon!) and then keep coming back because everything on the menu is perfection. 5 stars!!!“

“I was blown away by Sonoratown. Everything we got there was incredible, especially the steak tacos, juicy with an incredible smoky flavor from the grill and the salsa. On that note, their salsa deserves a special shoutout. I had the pleasure of walking in just as a fresh batch of red salsa was made. Everyone working there was so excited about how good it came out, laughing and dancing around, and their excitement and enthusiasm was infectious. I could feel what a good working environment it was, and how much passion they put into their food. Please do yourself a favor and give Sonoratown a try.“

“Best fish tacos on the east side. Could eat them once a week. Made to order from a taco truck so sometimes you have to wait a bit. Wish they were there later but great for an early dinner or lunch. My favorite is the recommended shrimp and cheese one and soft shell crab“

“From start to finish Teddy’s was a 10/10. I got the deluxe plate and was not disappointed in the least. Everything was made to perfection and the consume was wonderful. The salsa had the perfect kick to it and you can’t beat the staff and ambience. I unfortunately am only visiting the area so I’ll just have to dream about eating their tacos on repeat.“

“This Mercado has so much to offer. Your pallet will not be disappointed with the many different restaurants you'll fine in here from some of the best see food to Oxacan food. Artesanias de Mexico are one thing you'll be thrill to find here.“

“Must try if you are looking for delicious authentic birria. It's a cute-humble family owned establishment that serves very tasty dishes. My favorite was the consomé with tacos dorados. I do wish they had a spicier red sauce but overall was great. It hit the spot on a Sunday afternoon. I especially liked the fact I could dine-in instead of the typical food truck. I can't wait to come back and try more items. Thank you familia Castro.“

“Just stumbled onto this place, what a Mexican taco place should be. A simple hole in the wall with some phenomenal excellent food. Coming from a Mexican I will tell you that this is good authentic Mexican food. Their tacos are Stupendous‼️ Best place for Mexican food on Melrose.“

“Great vegan restaurant in Melrose. The food has plenty of flavor and tastes fresh. Prices during happy hour are very affordable, and it’s a great for big groups to share bites and drinks. Atmosphere is nice, especially outdoors on the patio. The highlight of the evening for me was the olive oil brownie — a must try!“

“ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!! One I was able to schedule a large party of fifteen 3 days prior, where I wasn’t able to elewhere. Others restaurants required someone to call me back, a contract etc. Sasual took my large party not once but twice that week. You really kept me out of a bind where I was hosting a group of executives from Boston and New York. The service and food was out of this world. I moved to California 6 years ago and this was hands down THE BEST Mexican food I’ve eaten since I’ve lived here. Our servers were so accommodating and fast, I don’t know how you did it with such a large party. It was so good we came back a second night the same week. You are now my favorite so I will be back with the wife and I will recommend to every person who asked me. I get a lot of people who ask, where should they go to eat and this will be my #1 recommendation. Thank you Sausal.“

“I ate here for the first time today I had a burrito and my friend had a quesadilla. The food was delicious it had that real authentic Mexican taste &’ and you get a good portion for the price you pay they have good salsas overall everything was amazing. Their customer service was astonishing they made me feel at home super friendly staff they go above and beyond for their customers I will recommend this place to people from now on I can’t wait to come back :) such a hidden gem in LA best of all it’s Latinx-owned!“

“This is my favorite vegan Mexican spot. They have the best food and it’s fairly affordable considering it’s vegan. I always get the Al Pastor burrito, cause it’s packed with flavor. They have other amazing items, but I tend to stick with my go to option that I listed. Overall, I am never disappointed when I go here, cause for the price the burritos are huge.“

“Okay first, the salsa with the chips and salsa they serve is SO good. Spicy, but with flavor. The vegan quesadilla and the Beyond burrito were also amazing. All the veggies in them were super fresh and cooked perfectly. Also, get a black iced tea. Maybe the friendliest service as well. 100% recommend this place.“

“One of the best Mexican spots in the states!Been blown away by their chilaquiles & machaca burrito! Literally the best chilaquiles I’ve had in the states and I’ve had over 30 different spots from, Cali to New Mexico to Texas.Service is great as well! Highly recommend if you’re looking for the highest of quality Mexican food.“

“Nice place. Its complexity, its structure, a little piece of land far from its place of origin, is great. That's what it feels like to be there. Its decoration also adds a touch of memories. I loved the band that was playing that night. The diversity of people in this place is fantastic.“

“The menu is a delightful exploration of fresh, high-quality ingredients prepared with exceptional skill and care. From the succulent lobster tacos to the tender octopus, and the delightfully refreshing ceviches, each dish is a testament to the chefs' mastery of combining bold flavors and textures. While the prices may be somewhat steep, the quality of the food justifies the cost.“

“This was easily one of the best dinner experiences of my entire trip to California.The queue is long, but who cares? Just stand in line and salivate at the thought of insane tacos, or perhaps a stupidly large burrito that can feed a family of three. Or you know, just get there earlier. The servers were super cheery and helpful as well, which is always a pleasure.The food is so flavourful, it even managed to retain its flavour when cold! Did I mention the food is amazing? It's amazing.“

“Very good salsa selection, which generally correlates to pretty good food (as in this case). Had the Roadside Burrito with fish and it was excellent. Family had the the hot chicken tacos, chicken jalisco tacos, and fish and shrimp tacos. All were very well received. I'd definitely check this place out if I were in the area. Miles better than anything near Universal.“

“you MUST visit this spot! Had an amazing experience at Tlayuda LA !! The food was delicious, I have never a caldo de pollo that tastes like the one back home in México! Also had mole and green enchiladas and everything had authentic flavors !Service was great and friendly! Definitely going back !“

“I tried out Playita Mariscos for lunch. I've been driving by for a long time. It is owned by the Guisados people so I expected the food to be good. I ordered the Campechana Mixta. The cold tomato broth was fantastic. I really like the raw shrimp, crab and fish. The Octopus was a little tough for my taste. They have a parking lot, which on Sunset, is a plus.“

“El Mercado has many delicious plates this is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants it’s really hard for me to find a good Mexican restaurant and this is one of the best I recommend this place a lot. My favorite plate is carnitas and el flan is such an delicious desert. The chef Luis makes all the plates amazing !“

“First time going. Went for a late lunch. Staff was very friendly & the food came out fast. This has an elevated or more modern vibe compared to other "traditional" Mexican restaurants with familiar menu items (tacos, chips&guac, street corn) but several premium items (tomahawk steak, lobster bomba rice) or unique options (jimca salad, shrimp chile) as well. I like the small plates and tacos but also appreciate the large plates for dinner. They also have mocktails which are fantastic- we had spicy passionfruit. Wel will ne neck amd the atmosphere is lively from watching sports to a date night.“

“Excellent food! So happy we found this place. Staff is great and they offer indoor/outdoor seating. Great selection of coffee, drinks, baked goods. Yummy and fresh Mexican fusion menu, delicious breakfast offerings as well. Street parking, small below ground lot and small parking lot.Vegetarian options: You can make most things veggie with easeWheelchair accessibility: If you have wheels you can easily enter and exit“

“Absolutely love everything about this place. Experience the rich flavors of Yucatán while relaxing and enjoying the ambiance and decor. Every dish is made with intention and heart well thought out and full of culinary creativity. The drinks are amazing as well. A must try.“

“The food was very good. My favorite thing was the spicy Pescado tacos. The chorizo scramble on toast was not as good as I was hoping it would be, but I did love the mimosa option with a flight of juices to kind of make your own mimosa. got there fairly early so there weren't many people and there, so the noise level was low and the atmosphere there is very charming and warm..“

“Wow! Wow! Wow! ? Absolutely yes ?? The food is absolutely phenomenal. It’s is fresh, flavorful and vibrant. I tried most of the tacos and all of them are top tier!!! Customer service was refreshing and responsive!!!! HIGHLY HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS WONDERFUL SPOT.Vegetarian options: Cauliflower tacos are sooo delicious ?“

“First tacos in LA and these didn't disappoint! Al pastor tacos were really delicious and served with great showmanship. Great selection of self serve toppings. Tacos were 2.50 each. There's a big line but it moves fast and there are a few stools around a long table to eat at. Highly recommend!“

“have you tried oaxacan food in LA? yagul cafe in santa monica prides themselves in serving authentic oaxacan food just like they serve it at home. it is a small, casual, family style restaurant that makes you feel welcomed when you walk in. to be honest i dont know much about oaxacan or even mexican food too much so I was excited to try out what they recommended! hope that I can describe the flavors better as i learn more about the cuisine! burrito banādo ($15) | 4.4/5 i must say i used to not be a fan of mole, but this burrito changed my mind. this burrito was bathed in their house made mole coloradito, it was savory yet sweet, and slightly smoky - just delicious! i chose cecina as my protein and that was super flavorful and juicy as well. the mole was so good i scraped the plate! definitely one of my top few burritos and i typically don't even like wet burritos! chilaquiles al campo w/ chorizo ($15.75) | 4.1/5eggs scrambled with spinach, tomatillo sauce, carmelized onions and chorizo. the chorizo was flavorful and their tomatillo salso was pretty fire. house coffee ($4) w/ refills | 3.9/5piping hot coffee brewed with cinnamon. the cinnamon is subtle and doesn't punch you in the face while making its presence still know. the servers also come up to ask if you want to top up your coffee which is a plus! i dont really like brewed coffee but i do like the flavor twist overall, i really enjoyed my food and looking back I am actually craving the burrito right now. i don't usually comment on service, but the staff were super friendly and energetic! they also have a juice bar, smoothie menu, and a pretty extensive breakfast menu! i definitely want to come back and try more of their other entrees! metered street parking“

“Food was alright, i make better food at home) Got the OG burrito and wasnt impressed, the portions are average for the ridiculous prices being street vendor are crazy, the green sauce kinda made me go a star up. i love to be fair in my reviews and this is a bit over. Food price for a street vendor -1“

“Nice Mexican restaurant in the Los Feliz neighborhood in LA. The restaurant had great ambiance and attentive service. We had an assortment of vegan and vegetarian sides, including flautas (made vegan), beans, rice, and fingerling potatoes. The dessert options included vegan sorbets and vegetarian churros.Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options with a clearly labeled menu. Many of the Vegetarian items can be made vegan.“

“I placed an order to go and it was ready on time, which is super important for me. The burrito i ordered initially seemed a little pricey for me, but when I took that thought back when I saw how huge my burrito was. It was freshly made and so delicious! It also came with a side of chips and salsa, which I appreciated. Worth every penny, 10/10.“

“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“

“SOOOOO soo good!! Always look forward to stopping by whoever the truck is at. Highly recommend the Classic burger and also the Chicken katsu sandwich. Thé gorgonzola on thé burger is DELICIOUS. The veggies are crisp and fresh. And the sauces are homemade, so so delicious. A MUST try“

“Really impressed with the food at this restaurant.. great flavors and simple menu items. I was a huge fan of the red salsa .. will definitely be asking for a bucket next of it next time. Fair warning the "black" salsa is HOT.. use with caution. Can't say much about the ambience since I ordered take out but the location is super cute! Lots of window shopping around the area.“

“Quiadaiyn is one of my favorite restaurants in Los Angeles, truly. The food is excellent. I love the vegan mole enchiladas, molcajete quesadilla and fajitas.The service from everyone is exceptional. Kind, friendly, attentive. I’m always happy to see them and they’re always very happy to see my mother!The decor is fun and lively, make sure to come around Dias de los muertos!I’m sad to be moving away from Quiadaiyn, yet I will be back to visit!Bendiciones Quiadaiyn familia!Vegetarian options: Vegan mole. Enough said!!“

“Found this little eatery which served Mexican food. Looked like a family run business. Their tacos were so good and tasty. Burritos too hot and fresh!! Nice little place to eat and hang out. Just by the street. I wanted the sour cream and Chipotle sauce off my taco. The lady happily obliged to the request. Definitely recommend them.“

“I really like it here. We somehow always end up here any time we are in LA. The food is delicious in that very specific Los Angeles style Mexican food kinda way. The margaritas are strong and I wish I could remember the name of our waitress. I know she's been there a long time because she always seems to be our waitress no matter how many years have passed since our last visit. She's awesome. I find the prices to be very reasonable and the quality of food drinks and service WAY better than Casa Vega. Just sayin.“

“I wish I knew what made their carnitas so special -- I'm convinced they're made by some sort of god. I have never had them this good. Exceptional food and attentive service. I have been to the 3rd street location as well and it is just as good. I dream about your food!“

“Yo I've lived in sherman oaks for a long time and I cant believe I just found out about this place. I came with my friend for lunch and it was packed. The workers are really nice and I got recommended the torta and the lunch plates. The carne asada plate was fire and so was their horchata it tasted homemade not the powder kind that some places give. I'll def be backParking: 2 parking spots in the back“

“This restaurant is the Epitome of Taco paradise! They have the most amazing meat, it's so fresh and delicious. The restaurant is in an interesting location, but it's so fun! The staff is very attentive and gracious. You order from the monitors on the wall and they bring the food to you. Their details are impeccable, they have to go dishes out for you to grab if you need them and various condiments and such. Go early, parking is just street parking and that's very rare to find. Also, their birthday celebration is very cute! Go for your Bday and try it out.“

“I have been to so many restaurants in my short 23 years of life but I have to tell y'all that this is the #1 best restaurant I've ever been too! The food was soooo freaking delicious. The service was top notch. And the atmosphere was great. Everything was so tasty. I 100% recommend this place!!! The drinks were so good too!!“

“Tuve la oportunidad de comer hoy en la ubicación en Burbank. Excelente servicio, comida y un gran ambiente. Manejamos de Menifee, solo para tener la experiencia de un gran platillo. Shoutout a José!! y todos los que nos atendieron. Ps: Menifee, sería una excelente nueva ubicación :)“

“We held a Wedding Rehearsal dinner in the Clark Oswald Room. The room was perfect, the staff were wonderful, and the food was beyond excellent. Cocktails top notch too. Everyone left very full and happy!! Highly recommend for your special occasion!!“

“I don't even eat at gracis senor, but I am writing this review because there is a local law firm called Davis Wright and Tremaine that has been harassing the local taco vendors for the past few weeks in the Pacific Palisades. Apparently the law firm has delivered threatening letters to Gracias Senor (the daytime taco truck), as well as the nighttime pop-up tent-based taco vendors, and perhaps the other trucks as well. There are clearly a coalition of palisades karens who have nothing constructive to do with their time and therefore seek to destroy the hard work of local businesses, lessening the beauty of the Palisades in the process. These same anti-taco-truck karens are probably the same types of people who yelled at people for not taking covid vaccines two years ago: the type of people who thrive on the oppression of the free will of other human beings and live to control others, for it gives them a false sense of empowerment and meaning. These anti-taco karens would clearly like for every single establishment in the palisades to be bland, overpriced, licensed and regulated by some nonsensical city governing body, and close early. The good news is that for every one of the anti-taco Karens who seek to oppress the small business owners, there are twenty more people who support the taco vendors! Don't be intimidated by Davis Wright and Tremaine and the karen army.“

“I personally had the best experience here with my family! The staff was so nice and accommodating we had 2 senior dogs that we needed to bring with us because they have heart issues and can't be left alone I had them in a HUGE stroller and the staff helped me so much and gave me no hassle in bringing them in the patio area. They gave us a spacious table like I requested and I loved it! The food was amazing! Huge compliments to the chef we did the 3 course lunch meal and it was perfect! We have an autistic child that usually hates eating everything and they made him a chicken quesadilla that he devoured! This was a huge delight and was very much worth it! They even have valet which made it extremely hassle free and accommodating. You should definitely check this place out the vibe, food,decor, and staff, are all perfect!“

“I went there after 11 o clock to satisfy some late evening munchies and was psyched to find out all their baked goods are gluten free, and they use organic ingredients. For a gf cupcake it was especially rich and satisfying! I should have taken a picture but I was busy!“

“Hello once again. I have been coming to SOL for the past 3 years. And we always get to ask for CARLOS He is an amazing, outstanding serve. CARLOS goes above and beyond speciation. We will be coming back and tell friends about SOL CUCINA Glad we decided to come to SOL. thank you CARLOS. See you soon“
