50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Hollywood

“Muy rico, atienden rápido y todo está muy limpio. Haaaa son muy gentiles“

“How to find this place (from street level) so that your delicious veggie burrito is still hot when you go to pick it up, rather than just warm.
0. Ignore Google Maps walking directions, especially if you have an injury or disability that limits your walking. Avoid the mall courtyard, and don’t go inside the mall.
1. Instead, navigate to Gelato Festival, just off HollyWood Blvd.
2. Take the elevator located to the left of Gelato Festival; elevate yourself to level 3.
3. Exit the elevator and walk straight ahead until you see the Tacos Neza sign. (It’s probably about 80 feet.)
4. Arrive. You have avoided playing this challenge on hard mode.
5. Forget about the salsa verde until the very end, at which point you discover it’s hotter than medium. Indulge your senses.

Vegetarian options: There is a veggie burrito and a breakfast veggie burrito, rajas tacos, etc. No meat in the veggie butritos, but I assume the refried beans have lard in them. Unclear though; best to ask.

Wheelchair accessibility: Take elevator from street level (Hollywood Blvd)“

“We dined at Damian for the second time. Our minds and tastebuds were blown again! Everything was high level, food drink, service, desert, even down to the tiny cookie that came with our espresso. And, the duck carnitas, chefs kiss!“

“Amazing journey of flavors!“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“Fabulous Mexican seafood place. Great cocktails, I had the milk punch, and it was delicious. Great selection of small plates, including aguachilies, cerviches and crude. as well as large sharable plates. We had the Branzino, which was prepared perfectly. Great vegetarian menu also. Save room for the Churros!“

“If you are wanting ? food and the best customer service in LA. THIS IS THE SPOT! When we walked in the workers greated us with excitement and joy.

“Best shrimp tacos I ever had, and my partner was in love with her ribeye tacos!!! We also had the most amazing server today. Overall, while a little expensive, I definitely felt we got the meal we paid for, and right in the middle of the Grove! The great drinks and tres leches cake were also delicious and very well made. We shall be back!“

“Wonderful place Great drinks and food“

“I looooooove this place so much. They play the absolute grooviest music/best DJ (please add a dance floor 😭🙏🏾) and amazing service!! Great vibes all around. Great to stop at for a drink and vibe.

Such a sweet corner gem, great place to stop by on a Saturday night.“

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

“Buenísimos las mejores carnitas“

“My friend and I heard about a special type of chili Relleño that was topped with a walnut sauce and pomegranate seeds. It is called chili en nogada. They have it here, and it was spectacular. The special ingredients compliment each other. The staff were all so pleasant and helpful. We sat outside where they have a beautiful garden with fruit trees. including pomegranate, passion, and avocados. I've added a picture of the chili cut in half. Must try!“

“Amazing food not too far from the beach with absolutely awesome customer service! The #Vegan plates and chips and salsa cannot be beat anywhere close. The ambiance is casual and cool! LOVE this place!❤“

“best food and customer service 🥰“

“This Guisados on Sunset is the perfect spot to hit a hungry stomach! Free parking. EZ to find. Safe neighborhood. Now for the food… AMAZING! All tacos are delicious. Try the sampler. Gives you 6 mini tacos with home made tortillas. For about $11. ? even my kids who are picky loved this place! Service was awesome. We were still craving another sampler (we all shared some) and the server who brought our food said that there was no need to wait in line again… she took our additional order from our table, and brought the credit card reader out to us!!! Thank you! Mil Gracias !!! We will be back.

Kid-friendliness: Kids loved the food. And when they knew it was for the kids, they held off on some of the spicy salsas (on te side)“

“The best Mexican food I’ve had in LA! I was never a fan of pork or al pastor, but El Chato completely changed my view. The al pastor burrito is probably in the top 10 best things I’ve ever eaten. I will be back again and again.

Vegetarian options: They have a veggie burrito.“

“When I tell you this place is incredible… on every point! Food amazing, atmosphere is such a vibe, service and staff are so welcoming and accommodating and QUICK!

We ordered the following for 3 people and were stuffed and had plenty of leftovers:

- chips and trio of salsa: I am still mind blown about the variety of salsas, the flavor complexity, the range of spice and ingredients in each. 10/10

- squash blossoms (forgot to take picture): so delightful, stuffed with a cheese mixture and the perfect consistency and crunch on the fried blossom. 10/10

- 3 mole plate: loved trying the different mole options, my palate is not quite as seasoned when it comes to mole so I favored the “traditional” sweeter brown mole. Would just get this one next time (forgot what they called it) 8.7/10

- carne asada plate: an assortment of Oaxacan cheese, grilled cactus, beans, mole enchilada, and the most tender, flavorful and juicy steak. Just wow 10/10

Churros: omg…. Just omg. Melt in your mouth churros, most DELECTABLE Mexican dark chocolate to dip them in… I dream about these 10/10

This is now our go-to Mexican spot. Such an elevated take on our traditional Mexican food outings. Prices were very fair especially for the quality and ambiance of this places picking up a to-go order as we speak.

It’s worth noting that we went with our friend who was born in Mexico City and has had the best of the best Oaxacan food and she was floored by this place!“

“Possibly the best and freshest Mexican style seafood in LA Think fine from a James Beard award winning chef and kitchen on the very casual setting of a food court It’s busy so get in early as the line to order grows quickly Plenty of parking with extra space at rear of the car park for the overflow This is a must try if you are in the area“

“Despite reading some negative reviews from a long time back, I took the gamble of visiting this restaurant and giving it a chance. This was my experience. Service was excellent, food came out quick despite attending a big party celebrating a birthday.

If you're looking for somewhere tasteful, cozy and welcoming that will provide you with quality delicious food and excellent customer service. Look no further if you live or are visiting the South East area in the city of Maywood.

This is my 2nd time visiting this overlooked hidden gem; which I still can't believe it's been here since 2019 and stopped by until now. I have NO regrets visiting and dining at "Rajas con Crema".

This restaurant was welcoming, cozy, ambiance was delightful, customer service was on point!. Thank you for the awesome experience Javier and Staff.

On my first visit, I had their rib eye steak and garlic shrimp with seasoned veggies and mashed potatoes, and delicious warm soft toasted bolillo bread. Also had their (Mollete) which was soft, beans were very homely made and chorizo sprinkled throughout.

Today's visit, I came for breakfast and had their steak and eggs, Cafe de ollá and my partner ordered chilaquiles con carnitas. Both dishes were exquisite, Cafe de Ollá was delicious, customer service was awesome with attention to customer.

I am definitely coming back, not overhyping anything but, usually it's not common or typical to visit a restaurant and have a great all around experience in customer service and food quality tastiness ??.

If you're in the area, definitely check this hidden gem out and give them a try, and try their various delicious dishes, no regrets!. ?“

“Clean is my utmost priority when I go to eat out. This place is spotless. They take your plates from you as soon as you are finished. They ask politely to remove them. Taco Tuesday is my favorite night to go. 3 tacos about 10 ish. The shrimp n chicken tacos are my favorites. Cool music and not too loud. Must try the cucumber drink easy ice. lol. . I ate so fast I forgot to take photos. But hey. Next Tuesday I’ll play Ellen Von Un.

Dietary restrictions: Fresh rotisserie chicken is delicious. Great flavor.

Parking: I always get a spot. Butbb be on taco Tuesday it’s crowded. But hey. It’s taco Tuesday.

Kid-friendliness: A few kid portion items are reasonably price. Good portions.“

“So good, so tasty. Great roll and veggies👍💪“

“Great comida casera! Customer service is good!
The only thing I didn’t like was that the meat in my chilaquiles was more pellejo (skin) que carne itself. The meat was difficult to chew. Other than that, the chips and salsa were good (the salsa was super tasty), chilaquiles were good in flavor and the aguas frescas estaban buenas.“

“Original little Mexican restaurant. Rustic and not chic but great food and ambience! The shop is small and only offers bar stools to sit on in the fully visible kitchen, where several chefs are busy preparing and serving up the delicious food.“

“Esta muy buena la comida Recomendado al 💯👌🏽😋“

“pasamos de pasadita guiados por los reviews y nos sorprendió los mejores tacos de birria qué hemos comido. recomendamos al 100 por 100“

“Exquisito todo y el servicio excelente yo si regreso“

“This is a great example of how LA street mexican food culture is like.

This place has one of the best pastor tacos in LA. Their meats are well seasoned and are not dry. Their salsas have great flavor and heat.

The lines can be long but it is worth the wait. You just can't beat this place when it comes to taste, quality, and price.“

“Food & service is always amazing! I left my wallet there & the staff helped me retrieve it when they were closed! They went above & beyond to help me -“

“Had a beautiful bridal shower for 24 persons in their outdoor patio. Staff was friendly, welcoming and attentive; food was delicious and served up in generous-sized portions.“

“Me gusta mucho que los productos como las tortillas el chocolate quecillo asean de muy buena calidad lo recomiendo de verdad 👍👍👍👍“

“We decided to venture to Komal on a Wednesday. It was about 1:30pm and we were able to walk right up to the counter. We ordered the tlacoyos and a quesadilla of squash blossom. Both were very good and rich in color, texture and flavor. We also had an agua fresca, which you can request with or without ice, and was refreshing.“

“This place gets a perfect ten! The food is amazing, unique, flavorful and healthy..and entirely vegan. They feature Yucatecan recipes you will not find in many places. The owner is friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. It is a small place with just a few tables.

Dietary restrictions: All vegan.“

“Great dining experience! You know you made the right choice for a restaurant when you continue to witness a steady stream of "regulars" pouring in, not to mention lots of others. I look forward to working may way through their menu on my many anticipated future visits!“

“Muy buenos taco’s deliciosos“

“It was me and my girlfriend’s first time, and the wonderful cashier did not shy away from answering in full detail what her favorite taco was! Needless to say, we knew all the options and left very happy. Fire food and fire drinks. 11/10 would come back.“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“The best tacos in California!“

“Got a few tacos with each meat. Got the Al pastor, suadero, buche and asada. The best was the Al pastor. The char on it is very smoky and nice and tender. There isn't too much of flavor though compared to other al pastor without the juiciness. The suadero was nice n soft and flavorful. The buche was soft. The asada was disappointing. It was just tough and chewy.

The portions of meat for the burrito is pretty substantial and around 11 bucks or so for a very big burrito.

Staff was cooking and also serving and telling what meats they have available since they don't have signage.“

“the best food and the best service🙏“

“The tacos are delicious. I didn’t prefer the chicharron taco; my assumption was the pork fat would be crispy, but it was blubbery. I didn’t eat it. This was probably a mistake on my end.

The pork tamale was delicious as was the steak taco. The tamale wasn’t dry at all (I’ve seen other reviews saying it was dry). The service was so friendly and kind. I loved the artwork, but I did want a salsa bar. I’ll be back absolutely, and recommend the cantaloupe agua fresca.“

“Delicious food and drinks!!!“

“Excellent food, as always, but in our last two visits, the cochinita tacos were served on cold tortillas. Had to return them to be heated...

Had to walk twice to the counter to get refills of our Maya coffees... ...unusual. Usually, they refill your coffee at your table while eating...

The cochinita plate, the trio yucateco and the coffee were delicious. Best in many many miles around.“

“This place offers valet parking, but we found free street parking about a block away. To access the restaurant, you’ll need to head up a set of stairs.

We had a few drinks and shared the guacamole dip. While the appetizer was fresh and the chips had a unique, tasty twist, the portion size didn’t quite match the price. Surprisingly, it was pretty slow for a Saturday.

Overall, I’d definitely give it another try, especially since the breakfast options looked delicious.“

“Hands down one of my favorite go-to spots. Everything is SO good- I even order a pack of fresh tortillas to take home cause they are THE BEST. I always get these Anaheim Chili Tacos- the AMOUNT OF FLAVOR in these is incredible. ?? the mushroom tacos and their chips and guacamole are also incredible.“
