50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Gardena

“delicious authentic mexican food !! great prices, friendly staff.“

“Beef tongue burritos, taco are the best in Mexican restaurant and salsa bar too“

“Riquísima comida y excelente atención“

“I’ve finally found a taco spot in southbay area that compares to San Diego tacos. They moved locations to western in front of the Southbay Toyota. They got a bunch of salsas to choose from and they make their tortillas fresh. The saudero is delicious. My husband really liked their asada. I already know I’ll be visiting this spot many more times in the future. Closed on Mondays. They do have a few seats to dine there. $2.50 per taco.“

“Absolutely delicious. This is one restaurant that I will be going back to plenty of times okay I already have and if you haven't had it you are missing out. Josies is phenomenal and I am happy to boost this place with my 10% top reviewer for Google maps because they need to be recognized and more importantly tried.“

“This place is a hidden gem...there are hundreds of places around L.A. where you can get a breakfast burrito or a combo plate but where else can you get a torta Cubana a.k.a. Cuban sandwich. It's a meatfest so you better not be a vegetarian...and it's huge enough for two to share this melange of machaca beef, chorizo, ham and Oaxaca cheese. Just don't attempt to order it for breakfast, they just can't handle it at an early hour but their menu is voluminous enough for you to have other options.“

“Best tacos in North Torrance. Nice family owned restaurant. I ordered two chicken and two al pastor tacos. I like how there was a single tortilla and not doubled up. The chicken meat was juicy and flavorful. Al pastor was very good too. I’ll be going back!“

“I stopped by El Cielo in Gardena and had a great experience. I got the enchiladas plate, with chicken inside with a side of rice and beans, and everything was flavorful and satisfying. It’s a solid spot for a delicious, no-fuss meal if you’re in the area! Definitely check it out. Awesome hole in the wall.“

“I’ve always came here ...I can remember their awesome Salsa, Carnitas Taco’s and strawberry milk when I was 3 years old!!! I’m 40 years old now. They are my favorite Mexican Restaurant ever!!“

“My family has been going to tiny La Villa's Mexican Restaurant for decades. It has always served the best authentic Mexican cuisine around A hidden jewel...“

“Clean atmosphere and great service!!!“

“Tacos los Viejones are amazingly delicious and tasteful! Hector your Chef AKA ( your cook ) takes his tacos to another level by adding just a little sprinkle of beans on top of the tacos. I try de pollo, Asada and pastor all amazing MUST TRY!“

“The food from this food truck is very good, I work driving and it is very practical for me to call and place my order to pick up, you can pay with Cash or even with Zelle. On certain days you may not find them because they cover events to make sure it is better to call.“

“$1.50 taco Tuesday. The red sauce is fiery spicy and delicious. I like that they have the onion and cilantro and sauces in bags/wrapped up so it’s not just sitting out exposed to the environment.

They have 8 plastic chairs so better to pick up and go.

Writing this while waiting for the tacos. Will update re taste“

“My family and I were looking for a New Mexican spot and we definitely found it!!! The food was soooo good. We order one of everything on the menu and nothing was disappointing it ran us about $100 for 5 people to try pretty much everything they had. I will say they are alot more affordable with better food than spots in the area. You order your food at the front and the you find your own sitting. The only criticism I’ll give is I wish it was more lively inside, it’s beautiful inside no doubt but everyone is so quiet. Not a deal breaker at all I still plan to repeatedly come back! It’s a must try and a game changer for the area.“

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

“If you want to enjoy some of the best classic tacos in town , you could never go wrong at antojitos , not only the tacos but the great variety of Mexican food and drinks that this place offers is worth the trip…once you tried them , you will come back and come back for more!!!“

“buen servicio atenticion y calidad del Productos todos los empleados son 5 Estrellas bonito lugar“

“Great service and great food“

“I come here about 1-2x month. Now I order the (chili verde plate,) chili relleno & taco, NOW WHO EVER WAS COOKING AT 7pm Dec.14 I need to know when they are cooking because this was THE ABSOLUTE DELICIOUS PLATE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED Ill show up when there cooking! KEEP IT UP!!!“

“The food is good. It's not the same price and quality as it used to be. For two people with food and drinks, it was nearly 30 dollars. There are better places to get cheaper tacos. But the quesadillas are huge and have avocado so they're worth the $13 dollars once in a while. The service is good, and the people there are always respectful. The space inside to eat is small but I always happen to go when its empty lol. Overall the place is a once in a while spot“

“excelente servicio y.calidad de mariscos“

“I went there during lunch to give me some Huaraches and some horchata and oh my God it was so delicious. Even my mom who's from the Mexican state of Jalisco actually said that the food reminded her of her home state and she loved the food. Definitely a place you guys have to try. Excellent service I was completely satisfied with the service I will definitely be coming back to this place. :) 🙂“

“Very good Authentic Mexican Sea Food. I usually go once a week .

Parking: The parking is on the side of the building

Kid-friendliness: They have Quarter slots machine for toys .

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a Handicap parking ?️ on the side of the building inside the parking lot.“

“we go every weekend for breakfast 😋“

“Best carnitas I’ve had in years! Had lunch here today, only outside seating, so no frills, but more than made up with it in food quality and low prices. I will be going back here. A very good value and great food, plus if you’re up late at night they’re open until midnight most nights. My pictures aren’t the best, too much mid day glare, but you can read their menu.“

“The food is very delicious at Tacos El Tio! Everything is very fresh and flavored. They also have a variety of aguas frescas to choose from. You find very little to none places that have Cebada, but they top it off with the Cebada they have here. Everything from tacos to tortas and Vampiros are very authentic! I really recommend this place. 11/10“

“La comida es muy rica, trato amable“

“Las Pupusas, buenísimas y que no falte la cola champán“

“This is my to-go taco truck, and their burritos are absolutely the best I’ve ever had. The staff is always so friendly every time I visit, which makes the experience even better. I still can’t believe there’s such an amazing taco spot right here in Gardena. The place is spotless, and the food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and you can really taste the care they put into every order. If you’re in the area, this is a must-try—you’ll want to come back again and again.“

“I worked late last night in Gardena and was looking for a place to eat dinner. I am on the Keto diet and was thrilled to find that this diner had several salad options. I ordered the Greek salad with chicken and it was terrific. The salad was huge! The only downside is that the Greek olives had pits, which is the pits. Lots of chicken though and a ton of Feta cheese. Delicious!“

“😻muy rico toda la comida y muy buen ambiente para todos“

“I love all of the food here, never had anything bad. The ceviche is the best!“

“I visit this outstanding restaurant once a month because I enjoy the ambiance that is characterizes this restaurant. The staff is awfuly helpful and qualified. The service is deeply efficient. Most important, the food you get is outstanding. I have been there more than once and I was always joyful. The expense is honest. I highly suggest this place to to everybody.“

“Cute with a lot of homey options cheaper than Diana's. The green salsa was fresh and had great flavor. The eggs on the chilequiles were perfectly fried. We'll have to come back to get drinks and try try their cemitas poblanas and breakfast burritos & bollilos

Bonus we got to watch an Olympics women's soccer match during our short wait“

“I got some asada fries and an horchata tonight. service was excellent and food was delicious. the fries were big enough to share. Meat was seasoned and cooked well and the avocado was perfectly ripe. My first time but definitely not my last. Definitivamente regreso pronto!“

“We had the combo 3: 1-fish taco, 1-shrimp taco(battered), the fish and chips and the ensenada (surf & turf) burrito. This damn food is ridiculously delicious!!!!! The steak was tender and everything was nicely flavored. They are NOT overly priced either. I gave the atmosphere 4 stars because: 1. Even when you are busy (and this place is busy), you have to have clean tables AND seats. The lady wiped the table and we had to have her come back for the seat. 2. The line goes through the restaurant, so if you're eating at one of the first couple of booths, someone's butt could be in your face/food. I did notice that, most people order to-go. Again, the food is absolutely delicious and they are fast with orders.“

“the family owned business is truly into customer service but the menu is huge and full of delicious food to choose from..the chicken is so reasonably price and has always been a hit at parties and potlucks..the home made tortillas are to live for..I'm truly proud of the parents leaving legacies for their 3 sons..now each has a store to run...keep up the amazing work.“

“First time here at Churros El Bom Bon. We just driving by and seeing the name we turned back and had to try the Churros. They also have Mexican Food and I highly recommend this place for the food and specialy for the Churros they're so good.“

“Found this place through a food app and so glad I did!

The food is great, with meats that are well-cooked and delicious. The only real snag is the parking lot — it's crowded, small, and narrow, and street parking is very limited.“

“Doctor Agbomian is 100% guaranteed for Herbal Medication believe me. He is the best, He send me Herbs with the help of Dhl delivery service the delivery it to my doorstep at home. And I started to used the medicine and believe me I got cured from HSV type 1 within 14 days all thanks to Dr Agbomian Medication that cured me from the disease.“

“Had to test this place out. It's a pretty darn good burger. I give it a 6.7 out of 10 on the burger scale. This restaurant is large plenty of seating. Also the parking lot is large outside plenty of parking. I take your order quickly and get your food out fast.. I noticed they even have a drive-thru. If you're looking for a quick burger this place does it right.“

“I come to this location pretty often, and the last time I went, I was accidentally given guac rather than queso for my chips. I came back around to get them, and the staff hooked me up with some extras and got me the queso. I really appreciate you guys. 😊“

“Don't know why people put this place down. The food is what you get! Today, January 13, 2024, had the chicken bowl with extra chicken, and it was the bom! The staff is doing an amazing job on serving the public with quick and fast to get the order out, and still people are saying poor service.El Pollo Loco, you guys are doing an amazing job, and I want to say thank you for being here in Harbor City and serving the community. I want to let you know that your staff is amazing, I am just sitting here listening to how they greet every single customer that walks in the front door and you make us feel welcome and I just wanted to share this with you.See you soon again, ?~ Harry Irvine“

“Micheladas are bomb The pescado zarandeado and the camarones islas marias are the best!!!!! And the banda on Fridays and Sundays play the best songs and the place has a great environment!“
