31 Best Mexican Restaurants in East Los Angeles

“Been meaning to hit this place, but always pass them up. Glad I stopped by, they got some good eats here. Tried the Vamipro with bistec and potato. Nice and crispy hand made tortilla. Potatos were healthy cut pieces and soft. Also had the Guisado sampler and man they are not shy with the servings. I definitely recommend the sampler plate if you are wanting to try the different options of guisados. For this location early is better as they do sell out of items on the early side. They also have restaurant where you can get there goods as well.“

“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.“

“After a recent not so positive experience at a nearby Salvadoran restaurant. I’m considering having a family dinner and decided to visit Mi Pueblo due to their consistent 5-star reviews. We were greeted immediately with welcoming smile. The place is spacious with several big party tables. Within minutes the server brought chips, not your typical Mexican chips, as they were drizzled with beans which was a nice twist. She also brought salsa and the traditional curtido. We ordered pupusas and 2 main dishes. We. The pupusas were large, cheesy and full of flavor. The chicken guisado was well presented and had all the traditional flavors I expected. The salpicon dish was surprisingly very good and would highly recommend it if you like the dish. Overall, were not disappointed
After a recent not-so-great experience at another nearby Salvadoran restaurant, I was a little hesitant about where to take the family for dinner. I came across Mi Pueblo and noticed all the consistent 5-star reviews, so we decided to give it a shot. Glad we did!
As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile. The restaurant is surprisingly spacious, with plenty of large tables, so it seems like a great spot for families or bigger groups.
Our server brought out chips pretty quickly, and these were definitely not your typical Mexican chips. They were drizzled with beans, which was such a nice little twist. We also got salsa and the traditional curtido.
We ordered pupusas and two main dishes. The pupusas were huge, cheesy, and full of flavor. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The chicken guisado was nicely presented and had all those traditional Salvadoran flavors I was hoping for.
The surprise of the night was the salpicón. I wasn't expecting much, but it was actually really good and probably something I'd order again. If you like salpicón, I definitely recommend giving it a try.
Overall, we were not disappointed at all. Good food, generous portions, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere. After our last experience, Mi Pueblo was a refreshing change. I can definitely understand why this place gets so many great reviews. We'll be back!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I tried both the Burrito and the torta version and I tell you it was delicious. The beans were super creamy and flavorful, the avocado was fresh and the soyrizo was well seasoned. I also tried their hot cocoa and it was sweetened perfectly. Definitely a place to visit again.“

“Some of the best tacos and special treats in east LA. There asada nachos and burritos smack. The salsa here the one of the reasons why this place is amazing it’s nice and spicy as it’s suppose to be. Anyone looking to get some good food for a great price come here and try Jason’s tacos they won’t disappoint. Thank you Jason for always keeping the salsa nice and spicy 1# reason I come here is for the amazing salsa“

“Came through and got the 4 tacos dorados con queso… the boss wasn’t lying, these were solid.
Nice crisp on the outside, meat was juicy, and the cheese actually made sense... didn’t overpower it. Consomé was legit too, good flavor, not watered down.
Simple, but they did it right. I’d run it back.“
