Restaurants in East Los Angeles

“The food was amazing. We ordered about 14 tacos and two Mexican coke for $35.”

“The best food!! 100% recommended totally worth the wait in line! Food is amazing!!”

“If you need quick Mexican food, this is a great spot.

I got the sampler to go, and it was really tasty—well cooked with good flavors. Ordering was fast, perfect if you’re in a hurry.

I’d definitely come back to try more from the menu.”

“Mexican with seafood options and Asian cuisine like sushi rolls. Atmosphere was good, with fun music playing but not too loud. Clean restrooms. Service was great. We stopped by for brunch on a Thursday morning, hardly anyone in yet, was able to park right in front. I liked they had a little bit of everything. The location looks a little rough but it was quite and had no issues, pretty close too the I5.”

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！”

“Excellent Salvadorian food. The Pupusa's are very good, the Asada is off the hook and if I stepped in the refried beans I would lick it off the bottom of my shoe. Lastly the Service is excellent. I Highly recommend this place.”

“El mejor lugar sin dura alguna.. me siento como en familia cuando voy.. los precios son excelentes y muy buen sabor. Los mejores en la área”

“Muy recomendable para envíos Nacionales! De Los Ángeles a Missouri !”

“The fried pickles were really good! We loved them! All of our meals were really good. The chicken was tasty. The BLT had a good amount of crispy bacon crisp lettuce. The garlic aioli was yummy. The staff was friendly and helpful. We would definitely return.”

“The Kiss on the Beach and Butterfly were fresh, tasty, and the right texture. Glad I stumbled upon this place.

Another customer I met swears by their udon noodles. Sounds like I'll see what he means another time!”

“Since before COVID, we discovered this place, after all these years, the food remains top quality and delicious. The atmosphere and scenery has improved and many people, us included are willing to drive a long way just to eat here! Today, we bought the pineapple juice, was not disappointed. Very good! This place is very close to the highway, parking nearby is very convenient. $1.50 price, never changed. We are willing to drive 10 miles just to dine here.”

“Delicious vegan pan dulce! Super nice people too. I highly recommend Soy Concha!”

“Best tacos de chicharrón in LA”

“Chili & Lemon Thai Cuisine is the BEST Thai in the area. I have ordered from them multiple times and just recently found out they have their own delivery driver (ONLY A $3 DELIVERY FEE!!) and party trays. Party trays are great as they really take down the price per person and it makes it more fun anyway! We got the 10-12 party tray and it easily fed 11 people + left overs. As this was for a birthday and I told the restaurant they very kindly threw in a sticky rice with mango which was delicious. The food (Pad See Ew) and crab wontons were all GREAT! Everyone was pleased with their meal. Not only that but they delivered promptly (15 minutes EARLY!) I would say they are a great options for a dinner party or for individual meals. Their staff who helped me Sun and one other lady, were extremely helpful and answered all of my questions, and I had a lot of them! I wish I had taken photos, sadly I did not.”

“100% recommended, the fish tacos are the best in Los Angeles served with a unique green sauce, and not to mention their Cajun shrimp, a delight, so if you want to try something super delicious, visit Maye Mariscos”

“Jason's taco's.. man that is one of my favorite places to go.. and always decent price and good quality. But let's just give not only the tripitas bien doraditas a praise. But the Pastor is the main character!”

“Great food, excellent service! Came all the way from South Texas to try this place out and I highly recommend it 🔥”

“Very lovely food stand by a kind family! Crepes are freshly made and you can customized however you like. They have a great selection of syrups and toppings, and you can add banana and/or strawberry for fruits. And you can layer some ingredients inside and on top of the crepes. Definitely would come back to try the mini pancakes!”

“Bbq Pull Pork Sandwich With Potato Salad Was Delicious. I Will definitely be coming back to try the brisket sandwich next. 😊”

“Very delicious the mangoneada and fruit bionico 😋😋🤫”

“a bit pricey (at least here in downey) but the food is worth it!!”

“Absolutely amazing products that help me and my family live a healthy lifestyle. The shakes taste amazing, they are thick and creamy and very very satisfying, just like the bars. In general. The coach is always available to give advice, support and motivate. This is not a diet, but a nutritional lifestyle change. It gives me a lot of energy to start the day and exercise again and despite everything I sleep very well. It can be used to control weight and improve muscle mass. I highly recommend it. This location is very clean and the energy is just welcoming. I had a great experience with Herbalife.”

“El Jato has the best soft shrimp tacos in all of east l.a. thier botana is also very good. I would recommend this place to anyine looking for good seafood.”

Thank you for the excellent service, always my favorite place when it comes to pampering myself 🥰”

“Try the Al Pastor Tacos! They are amazing and on top of that they have some bomb as Horchata. This place is my "to go to" late at night when no one can decide what to eat. Everyone is always on board with Los Pepes.”

“Haven’t came here in a long time and still hits the same as last time Best taco spot in LA food is very affordable everything is amazing and always fresh spending $40 for a family of 4 the old parking spot is closed now so now you have to park on the side of the street my most recommended spot for something fast and affordable”

“I partook of their mango habanero and ghost pepper wings when they were set up in front of the bruery tasting room and was very impressed. They have tasty well seasoned party wings and when they say spicy they're not lying. Try the corn! They are making magic with simple ingredients.”

“This is the first time I've bought food here, I ordered last minute.. the food was freshed the chicken is seasoned well, big pieces.. I was very surprised,and oil fried... I recommend this place and a good price it wasn't expensive..”

“I've been coming here for a while for a few specific things:

-Vietnamese Iced Coffee, it's consistently good. Never had a bad one from here. At 5$ it's a pretty good deal.

-Ham & Cheese Croissant is always solid too whether it's cold or warmed up. Again, never had a bad one from here. I believe it's about 4/4.50$.

-Their filled donuts (Bavarian & Raspberry) are so good too! $1.75 each if I recall correctly.

Service is always great too, I don't know the dudes name (I catch him working mornings), but he's always friendly and efficient at getting your order ready even when he's got a few people in the shop.”

“Dios Bendiga este ligar esta todo muy Rico y the people are so beautiful, 🙏God Bless their 🙌 hands 🙏🙏🙏”

“Small parking available in the back. No wait to be seated. Did wait to be attended. Good variety in the menu. Cafe de olla. The horchata is different, not bad just different. Green salsa is very good. Tried the chilaquiles in mole. And the cochinita pibil. Both tasty. A bit pricey.”

“Everything is made fresh. People are neighborly and made good recommendations. The chicken salad, phenomenal and the taquitos are absolutely fabulous. They actually use homemade meat and roll them fresh!”

“The food es excelente!! My first time buying there, definitely worth it!!”

“I tried their asada tacos and carnitas mixed with buche and it was AMAZING 🤩 I’m not From here but I recently moved to San Diego and I was headed back to my home town up north and I pulled over at a DDs and Seen this place and I’m definitely coming back when I come back home to San Diego”

“El lugar bueno y limpio buen ambiente”

“I love that bar, good music, you can play pool or billiards, good atmosphere, good vibes, attended by the owners, variety of beers, and chips. Very clean, impeccable bathrooms.”

“The staff here epitomizes East Los Angeles dining expectations. They work well as a team. They're not just polite. They are efficient and friendly.

Parking: Limited n difficult to locate.

Wheelchair accessibility: California standards met.”

“Family Donuts is one of those classic neighborhood spots that still feels genuine. Fresh donuts, good coffee, friendly service, and that old-school East LA vibe that’s getting harder to find these days. You can tell this is the kind of place locals actually come back to regularly, not just another trendy photo-op shop charging $8 for a donut with cereal glued on top. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area.
Thank you for todays breakfast it was phenomenal, and thank you to Winchell's and Dash for messing up my order past order and my driver taking half my order and causing me to look around ELA for a quality breakfast. We should look around and support SMB in ELA period!”

“If you're looking for big gigantic Donuts from Texas this is the place to go Donuts refresh and delicious tried the glaze with sprinkles my daughter stopped they had stepped into Texas”

“Go here for the Mother's Day croissants! A powder sugar flaky toasty outer shell with soft tunnels inside. Topped with sliced almonds or with Nutella inside & in regular ($3.00) or mini sizes. Imagine with her favorite café & therz plenty of parking around.”

“Killer asada nachos and tacos. Always stop here when I’m in the area.”

“Always a pleasing visit 😇”

“Piara pizza is officially my new favorite pizza place! We ordered the supreme, meat lovers and cheesy bread for lunch today. The pizzas were delicious and heavy loaded with fresh ingredients. Excellent customer service and they also deliver if you are in the area. We will definitely be back for more!”

“Coming from the Bay Area. This spot was delicious! Great costumer service from all the señoras! Price for what you get is definitely worth it! We ordered 2 tacos, 2 quesadillas, side of rice and beans, Gordita and 2 agua frescas for less than $50. Authentic Mexican food shouldn’t be cost effective. Great taste and atmosphere. Would come back again!”

“delicious chicken mole with double rice 😋😋😋”

“The food is fantastic, the cooks are simply amazing, it is a hit and miss with the people at the register, today I was served and taken care of by a gentleman by the name of Manuel, this person was exceptional, gladly took my order over the phone, mind you ,we are bus operators and we are always on the go, we call to put in our orders in hope that we dont have any further delays, we give the people enough time to get our orders ready and mind you we will never cancel , we have about 10 drivers that simply love this place, but at times ,we have reservations because we are in limbo of who we are going to get on the phone, for years ,we have been a patron of juan pollo, we need consistency...thank you guys”

“I've eaten many chili relleno burritos from here since they first opened, both with asada and carnitas. I prefer their chili relleno with asada.

The tortillas are excellent. Their salsas are okay. The burritos can be a bit greasy, esply with carnitas. But they're always delicious anyway. (4.5)”

“The food is good and the staff is always friendly”

“I have tallarín saltado very tasty, Maracuya and dessert 🍨 good, I will come back”

“the best cemitas in east la”

“i go here often for lunch as i work at a food truck near it, and boy do i tell you it is amazing, cheap and delicious all at the same time, the workers are kind aswell which just tops it off for me 😄”

“Mexes Cafe is a cute, quaint and dainty spot that really eminates with the essence of la familia y tradicion. I appreciate the vibe because it really reminds me of home. The art and the ambience really call to me and I have to give it a high recommendation without even talking about the drinks and food yet. On that note, I had pupusas and two lattes, one of which was a mazapan latte and the other was the horchata latte. I loved the fact that you could choose your own design on the latte. The mazapan latte, literally had such a nostalgic feel because it tastes exactly like the de la rosa candy. As for the horchata latte, you can never go wrong with that. It was very sweet, with that coffee undertone to make a great balance. I genuinely recommend visiting this spot because if you are in the mood for good vibes and good times!”
