50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Inglewood

“The food was delicious and the servers were all super nice and attentive. I have celiac and it was soo appreciated to eat at a place that understands and felt safe to eat it. They have a separate gluten free menu, cooked the food on a separate area, and have a dedicated fryer for the chips. Highly recommend!“

“tortas ahogadas, tortas de pierna tacos de barbacoa y por supuesto la atención“

“Following a Michelin Guide. The menu offers a solid selection of ceviche and seafood dishes. We tried two types of ceviche and the marlin tacos. The ceviche portions were surprisingly generous for appetizers, while the three tacos felt a bit small for $24.
Our waiter thoughtfully asked whether we could handle spicy food — their ceviche comes with a generous amount of chili and green sauce — and offered to have it prepared milder. We appreciated that touch of attentiveness.
The food itself was fresh and flavorful with no real complaints on quality. That said, it didn't quite reach the level of culinary creativity or refinement I'd expect from a destination worth a special return visit. Service was a little disorganized, and there was an error on the bill.
A solid spot, but not a standout. Four out of five stars.“

“Great food, beans excellent.“

“Amazing Family Friendly Restaurant“

“Good food and fast service.“

“I chose to come here because I saw a review mentioning a family atmosphere and man was that accurate. Carlos who was running the counter made me feel right at home and got me the most amazing 4 carne asada tacos and a custom order of just some eggs. He checked on me and was just so kind. The vibe in there was amazing and the tacos/eggs were aswell. Will be back next time im in LA.“

“Amazing food and when we had initial request with the chiaquiles, the owner responded right away. We will be back great pre-game place to eat!“

“The chicken hard shell tacos with the rice and beans was awesome. Everything was so fresh. And my cocktail was 🔥🔥🔥“

“wet burrito was amazing. I live in Tucson Arizona but every time I come home (LA) I make sure I stop here before I before I leave back to tucson.“

“Great spot for breakfast. Table service. The best Cafe de Olla I've had in a while, with a free refill while you're dining. Super friendly and attentive staff. The breakfast burrito was fresh, a big size, chewy tortilla and the filling chopped small so it's well spread throughout. Comes with salsa that's mild and flavorful. Will definitely come back!“

“Rica comida y amabilidad recomiendo todo el menudo !!! Las costillas los tacos todo y don tortilla hechas a mano 😃😀“

“El Rinconcito Monarcas is a great place to stop and enjoy some delicious Mexican food anytime. The food is freshly prepared and the staff is amazing. Lovely Maria even came out from the kitchen to present us with some special service. The dining area is cute, nicely decorated, clean, has bar top seating as well as tables, umbrellas and a flat screen TV for sports fans. Definitely stop by on taco Tuesday or any day for that matter. You won’t be disappointed.“

“I visited nays restaurant and it was a stellar experience. The tacos were deliciously prepared to perfection as usual. I also had homemade nachos and salsa. The presentation was dope because the tacos were nicely stacked up on a food holder which made easier for me to pick them up. I enjoyed my margarita. They had nice R&B music playing in the background, specifically one of favorite songs, who can I run to by Xscape. I did feel a little rushed because of the 20 minute labels placed on all the tables. I’m sure that is meant more for crowded days when people are waiting for tables. It’s a small quant affordable taco diner. The customer service was above and beyond what I expected from a group of young employees. They were polite, attentive, and professional to me. They were productive not hanging out on the counters on their cellphones ignoring customers or anything like that. I was blown away and very impressed with how your employees conducted themselves. They were a very good representation of you and your company. I discovered her vending at one of LA’s taste of soul events & have been following ever since. Nay is inspiring because she’s very humble, personable, and down to earth, beautiful inside & out, intelligent, and the kind of person who you want to support or work with in the food services business. You will get good quality service. Nay is a model entrepreneur for not only the Los Angeles community, but all communities. She’s the first Black owned taco catering business that I have ever known of in LA. I’m so proud of her. She’s a proud Watts native, which is basically an extension of LA. If you haven’t already, I’m not sure what you are waiting for, but check her out in Inglewood or hit her up for your next catering event. Love, Light, Peace, Respect, Community, Care“

“This is my hometown restaurant I've been coming here my whole life and the food as always the best. Everyone who works there is family I love there carne en su jugo there chilequiles are bomb and if anyone talks bad about this carneceria/restaurant are full of caca...“

“Me encanto el lugar muy rico todo la pasamos de maravilla. Y fue lindo ver a personas que aprecio y q estimo. Muchas gracias ❤️👍😄“

“I don't write many reviews on my account, but this place is such a gem. Went here after the Chargers game and the mix of authentic Mexican food, cheap prices, and customer service that makes you feel at home, it's in one word... Perfect.“

“Absolutely fantastic. If you like real Mexican food and more specifically Oaxacan food then you will love this. Better than the popular LA locations and less expensive. Beautiful and clean seating area. Can’t say enough good things about this little place. Yummy!“

“The service was amazing! They were very attentive and nice. They spoke Spanish and had good Mexican music. The guy next to us had Menudo and although I didn't try it I can tell you it smelled amazing! The tacos were delicious and the tortillas were hand made.“

“My sons and I stopped in without any prior knowledge or recommendations. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! We were served home made chips, black beans, and salsa at the table, and had two baskets of chips!
My sons ordered the carne asada tacos. The steak was tender and savory. Traditional style “street” tacos BUT with a hefty serving of steak.
I had the fish tacos plate. The fish was grilled and seasoned tilapia, with homemade sauce and salsa. The three tacos were packed with fish. The rice was phenomenal and the refried beans were outstanding.
I normally don’t eat tilapia yet this was the best preparation I have had.
It truly feels like you’re treated to inside someone’s home, as the service was excellent and the food scrumptious.
I just wish I had tried more dishes and taken pics!

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space at the tables, with comfortable seats.“

“Sooooooo good. Mom and pop taco shop. Outdoor seating but plenty of room. buy very delicious. Some of the best sopes I’ve had of my life and I love sopes. Been around the world eating them and these were great. Friendly staff. Spoke both English and Spanish well so good for everyone. Will definitely be back when I’m in LA area again.“

“The chicken hard shell tacos with the rice and beans was awesome. Everything was so fresh. And my cocktail was 🔥🔥🔥“

“Tasty homemade style Mexican food with great service. Had a carne deshebrada sope and a carne asada plate. The sope was easy to bite into and just the right texture. Both were good and did not feel too heavy. They also have jugos naturales (natural fruit juice) and agua frescas! Small parking lot.“

“Came to the El Comalito on Arbor Vitae in Inglewood. It’s a local spot with a strong Hispanic presence, both employees and customers, and I did feel welcome there.
It’s not the cleanest place visually, and I didn’t use the restroom so I can’t speak on that. But what I came for was the fresh juice. They make it right in front of you, carrot juice, orange juice, and you can actually see them preparing it. That matters to me.
The price was very reasonable, and the juice tasted fresh. After drinking it, my body felt energized and light, like I had something natural instead of something heavy.
I would definitely recommend stopping by for the fresh juice.
Not a critic, just sharing how it felt.“

“The chicken hard shell tacos with the rice and beans was awesome. Everything was so fresh. And my cocktail was 🔥🔥🔥“

“I am working on a project nearby and discovered this gem. This truly a place you don't look at price and when you do it so more than worth all the selection, freshness and taste. 3x a day. 4x would be great 👍 trying everything on the menu. Great job team.“

“Had my anniversary dinner here. It was awesome. The food was very good, I got the birria quesadilla, and my partner got two quesadilla fritas. It was absolutely delicious. The truck looked very clean and the tables were also. The chairs are sturdy. The horchata was pretty good, on the light side and refreshing. There are planes that fly over but it didn’t bother us. Can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!“

“The best Tacos and Tortas“

“everything is good tamales the cakes the bread oh them girls are beautiful all the time“

“(Translated by Google) It was my first time in this place and I really liked the food and the service that was given by the cosinera and the rest of the staff. Prices of the dishes are reasonable. The atmosphere of the restaurant was like being at home. I recommend the dish "Enchiladas Supremas" and the entry "Nachos" was delicious.“

“Great service. great food, everything we tried was delicious. Best shrimp cocktail I've had in a long time.“

“Awesome turkey day fixings and sides were all delicious.“

“Delicioso los mejores mariscos de inglewood y de todo LA....!!! Recomendable ...!!! :-) :-*“

“This place has become an every weekend breakfast spot for us. I usually order 10 minutes before food pick up. We get the French toast or chilaquiles. We have tried the Cheeseburger with fries and the club sandwich. Very good food. The service is very friendly and professional. Thank you Milagro Cafe!“

“Incredible experience. Just arrived from DC and I saw this market and immediately knew this was the first place I had to visit. The food was absolutely amazing and the prices were really good too. Miriam did an amazing job!! The owner was nice too! 👍👍👍“

“I really like the food at this place…but the lady who takes the orders by phone is really unprofessional…he take the phone and leave it on the side without saying anything until she likes and she don’t answer the phone when is ringing. Very very bad.“

“Food was good. The fish at the table next to us smelled so good I thought I ordered the wrong thing. But the tacos I had were freaking delicious. I didn't get pictures of our food we were kind of in a rush we started eating quick. The shrimp cocktail was so good it's a sharable amount my wife and I had after the concert (obviously got it to go) it was huge. I had the shrimp and asada tacos with their chipotle Mayo sauce which was bomb. I can keep going but won't definitely recommend this place.“

“Sometimes the chicken is perfect (skin really crispy) sometimes it is not“

“Very delicious food, abundant. Place is hole in the wall. It has four tables. Max capacity 10 people. Lots of customes picking up orders placed over the phone. Very clean. I order salpicon and a medium orchata. I enjoyed very much. Took my 45 minutes to finish my meal. :<)“

“Customer service is 100%. Food and smoothies are authentic and delicious. They are timely and pay attention to your order details. I highly recommend this store and am a full pledged customer. Jessica personally deserves her own 5 star rating - she's vibrant, recalls customers so easily and knows your usual, interactive and professional.“

“I love their tacos & the new juice bar is awesome! Let's not mention the Ranchera meat,best in town �“

“Best tacos ever! Been a fan and customer since 1991“

“Amble las meseras pronto mi dieron mi comida luempi el Korkoe Exlliente Es Mi Restaurante número uno al 100“

“May 24, 2025. Thank you Casa Rios for catering our parent's 75th Anniversary Event. The food was amazing. There were several compliments from our friends and families on how good and tasty the taco bar was...Thank you for your professionalism! We are very grateful!“

“Best chicken nachos ever!!“

““A true hidden gem!”

As a local, I can confidently say this place is one of those hole-in-the-wall spots you have to try if you’re in the area. The service is always quick and genuinely friendly — they make you feel like family the second you walk in. The food? Absolutely delicious. They serve one of the best chilaquiles I’ve had anywhere, hands down. Every dish is packed with flavor, and the menu features authentic Oaxacan food that’s hard to find done right. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and everything tastes homemade. It’s the kind of spot you end up coming back to again and again. Don’t miss it!“

“Food is so good ? I haven't had a pupusa this good in a long long time. Ingredients are fresh and the Service was great. Parking is limited but I notice there is a lot of uber orders coming in when I was there.

Vegetarian options: Bean pupusas“

“Los mejores mariscos que e probado en el sur de California una ambiente muy agradable y la comida lo mejor“

“Went to eat here with my Sister and Niece. I got the 20 dollar Michelada and Ceviche combo. It was delicious and filling. My sister had a chicken plate which I nibbled on and it was delicious as well. My niece had buffalo wings which were extra meaty and really hot the way we like them. Thanks to all who make this spot happen.“
