25 Best Latin American Restaurants near El Monte

“I love the choice between fried and roasted chicken. Chicken was flavorful and good next day. I like plantains, rice and those beans were oh so good!! The yucca fries unfortunately were not, bland and didn't feel cooked thru. I ordered both a family and individual meal and requested rolls instead of tortillas. When I got home, there was only one roll and no tortillas. So insulting and luckily I had tortillas as home but i was so bummed, because the roll was really good. I'll come back, but next time. I'm making sure those damn rolls are in there!“

“Super buena me encanta tengo años consumiendo y no lo cambiaría por nada“

“This little gem has that nostalgic 1950s vibe, only accepting cash. There a couple of tables outside the little shack where they offer crispy bean and cheese burritos that are unbelievably good! Service is. Always with a smile. I also tried crunchy tacos and taquitos which j added cheese to and it was so yummy. There js no satisfaction like a treat from taco treat. Don't forget the hot sauce!“

“I was in search of a good Chile Relleno Burrito and Google Maps suggested Calimex. I'm so glad it did! Easily one of the best I've ever had. The poblano chile was the star of the show. It was fresh and green, didn't taste heavily fried or buried underneath a ton of cheese. And the rice and beans packed a ton of flavor. Great flour tortilla too. It didn't look like the flour tortillas were homemade, but they were so fresh and delicious they could pass for homemade. Definitely a labor of love, the whole family is back there in the kitchen having a good time together and making incredible food. Will be back! Looked like a popular gathering spot for families and groups.“

“great drinks and food! nice fun and relaxing setting“

“I've been coming to El Buen Gusto ever since it was in Pico Rivera on Slauson. I moved down to Laguna Beach when I was 18 and had not been back since. I was up on the Whittier side of town and saw this place. A lot of memories resurfaced and decided to stop for old time sake.
Our hostess was very welcoming, warming, attentive and funny. However she didn't know what non-fat water and gluten free ice was. Nonetheless, I ordered the Chilaquiles. The presentation and taste of my meal was something similar to what my grandma or my mom would plate. I'm glad I stopped by, I don't make it up here to this side of town that often yet my next trip up here will definitely warrant stopping by for a quick meal.
For those who live close by you're extremely fortunate to have El Buen Gusto in your neighborhood.
As for location they are located at the southeast corner of Beverly and Norwalk Blvd's. It's not that far off the 605 frwy. If you're heading east on Beverly Blvd it's on the right just as you cross Norwalk. If you're directionally challenged, it's right next door to weeny-dog.
You can't go wrong with the comfort food of El Buen Gusto.
Tell them I sent you....“

“Went for Sunday brunch had their Taqitios and margaritas delicious. Server was a little over welmed when the place started getting busy it took about 30 minutes to get our check. But excellent place will definitely be back! Want to try their Enchiladas 😁“

“I enjoyed the chili verde plate with a melon margarita very much. I use to go to the owners other restaurant Carumba's in Alhambra for over 40 years until it closed. So glad to have found their other restaurant, even if I have to drive a lot farther, it's worth it.“

“A friend brought me here once for the first time and heard that I was about to order tacos. He pulls me to the side and says “foo I didn’t bring you to King torta for tacos, you get a torta” and my boy was right. Asada torta with a side of guacamole 🔥🔥🔥“

“best chicken ever tender ,juicy crunchy! mmm!“

“I own a auto restoration shop near by and we specialize in custom upholstery and everything restoration. We come to eat here practically everyday and I always order different dishes and they are all delicious. You can never go wrong with this little gem. All their dishes have great flavors and always very filling. The people complaining about cash only and that the register lady's are rude are just complainers. They're NOT rude, just busy. There's a difference. I only care about how good all their food is. I'm an extremely busy business owner and I'm always in a rush so I don't mind if the cashiers don't strike up a conversation with me. I'm there for the food. Wonderful little spot. Always support your local businesses.

“This place exceeded my expectations. I just picked the first Peruvian restaurant in the area because I was craving this type of food and I went thinking it was just a little place with ok food. The ambience is cozy and the food was excellent. All the servers were attentive and quick to take our orders and bring food. My only complaint is that they are too far away from me so I wont be able to come often but if I do, I know is worth the hour drive!! This place is 5 out of 5 . I definetly recommend the ceviche B69 and Chiquitos Serranos“

“Great food. Great customer service“

“This place was great. I don't remember exactly what my coworker got maybe the carne asada but cut up in pieces but I got the Chile relleno double and even my coworker wanted a piece 🧩 lol. Everything was great from the rice to the beans topped with cheese.“

“this place never disappoints. the food is amazing and great service“

“muy bien, lo recomiendo es buena. sólo que hay una que me atendió se puso un poco prepotente pero salió bien“

“My husband and I just tried this place tonight and it’s so good! We ordered the revuelta, been and cheese, and plain cheese. They were all full of flavor. Would definitely come again.“

“Buena comida buenos precios hasta las 11 pm en Bell Gardens“

“Food is good. Drinks too, place is smaller inside than expected. Awkward layout but decorated modern and for those who like to Instagram. Service is good no complaints, it's not the cheapest eats but I've ate here a few times now and I'd still come back.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Been coming here for years. Their tostada servings are always generous. Their rice and beans are great. Tostada mixta is my go to but I also was craving the mojarra as you can see. Everything tasted great. Small place, and the decor is very dated. But the food makes up for it. Good for to-go orders too.“

“My first visit definitely won’t be my last! Had a fun night drinking with my friends, great music, employees from the bartenders to the security were all friendly but professional. Also lost my wallet there but it was turned in by one of the employees, appreciate their honesty. Highly recommend!“
