50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Irwindale

“My favorite taco place! I used to frequent here when my office is close by. I still make the drive here to get their tacos and burrito and ceviche because I, or my kids, have the cravings. I've been getting their catering trays for company events and it's always a hit. ?“

“Some of the best food you will eat. Service is great.“

“I love all their food , and its always busy so today i called to place order that way i could just pick up. I called about 5-6 times nobody answered , the last called i made i was in the corner of la Bufadora , when i came inside place was empty maybe two tables were taken at the most and one person waiting for an order . I asked the cashier, Alejandro if the phone was working and he said they didn’t answer because they were very busy .. Yes they were busy but talking among each other with the cooks when i got there . Nobody in line .😞“

“So good! Everything was tasty. I heard every table around me say how delicious their food was. 5 Stars! :)“

“Ordered family meal. 2 whole chickens, side of Spanish rice, pinto beans and potatoes salad. Our first time here and ? very very good chicken. We will definitely be back. The service was great. Friendly cashier recommended sides for us. Surprised we have never been here before. I would recommend this place. Rice/beans did taste saltier, but still really good.“

“The service and the food is second to none.“

“So surprised...it's an Amazing Burger wow thank you I'm from Iowa and I had no idea where to eat, but I wanted to have a burger and this bacon mushroom Swiss burger was just delicious and huge“

“Simply phenomenal. It takes incredible food, made by kind folks, who love what they do, to lift a stranger's spirit like my own. I had ordered four tacos: Masala Birria, Tinga Masala Chicken (by recommendation), Pibil Chicken, and the potato (Mexican potato substitution), along with a side of Mom's Beans and seasoned Cauliflower. I was nodding my head blissfully as I ate everything. The smell of spices and fresh cilantro, the taste of meaty beans and succulent poultry, and pickled onions were wildly satisfying. I was blown away and can't wait to return. You're missing out if you haven't eaten here, yet. Until next time, peace.“

“great service, great grilled chicken👍 maria from Palm springs😀“

“Excellent food and service“

“Love his YouTubes even if they are in 100% Spanish and am not. Bench watched last night.“

“If you have not had the chance to dine in at Girasol, I highly recommend it. The chicharon with guac is a must as a starter, make sure you get some of the spicy sauce. As for a recommendation for a meal, well you have to come in and try. We loved the chilaquiles, the carne en su juego, the menudo, and the breakfast burrito. If you have a sweeter taste, the French toast, the pancakes and the crepe are awesome. But as mentioned before, you just have to come in and try everything.“

“Very nice and good service“

“Real deal. My new favorite Mexican restaurant.“

“I love food, one of the best taco truck in the town. It's located in front of the beautiful Arcadia park with plenty of convenient parking spots, picnic tables and benches. So far we tried nacho, beef taco, fi sh taco, asada fries, quesadillas an3d horchata. They were all really good!
My only request is about the way it gets served. While the disposable styrofoam plates are so convenient, it melts! It got melted by the quesadilla and the fries.

Please please put a layer of foil before putting the hot food on the styrofoam plates. I would love to keep coming back if it's safer“

“Some of the best Tacos I ever had“

“Great food! Highly recommend!“

“Albondigas were great! Service was good considering it was Mother’s Day.“

“It's been a few months since we've been there. My husband doesn't care for it as much as I do. I told him let's please go and I would treat him. I was craving their beef hard shell tacos. They were closed because of July 4th holiday. Apparently, they stayed closed for a couple of days afterwards. He said that is why he feels that they don't stay open long enough for business. If you notice their hours. However, their food and atmosphere is amazing. As well as their service. One time, we ordered for pick up. They were so nice. They threw in extra chips and salsa. Needless to say, I was kinda disappointed that they were closed. Next chance I get, I'm going back. Vrfig“

“The food here is like Grandma used to make. Delicious“

“Quick and friendly service! Every bite of food was like the first! Wonderful Cadilllac Margarita!“

“Service Persons friendly.. .
I had the chicken flautas dinner plate ,,, awesome flower tortilla crispy and had excellent clean taste.. chicken well seasoned ,,server with plenty guacamole and sour cream,,,will have them again and recomend to freinds!!!!!!!!“

“THE best birria in town! been coming to Alvaro and his team since the very beginning nearly 3 years ago, and the food has only gotten better. the queso tacos with connsomé are legendary and we love impressing out of town friends with them. there’s always a spread of fresh salsas and accouterments. check Birria Master’s IG @BirriaMaster for hours and specials (they’ll occasionally experiment with different meats and offerings such as lingua, seafood tostadas). plenty of family style seating as well as parking in the lot and street parking.“

“Love this place service is great food is delicious nice atmosphere well worth it only my second time going there but won’t be my last still want to go for breakfast 😍“

“great meal and very Pleasant service..“

“what i like about Cabreras 1st the awesome service. 2nd the best mexican food that is made with love. and what makes so good is the great music they have it's like eating at home which makes feel like your with family. keep up the great family feeling. oh and when I asked for something that's not on the menu you make it just like eating at home..“

“I've made a few pit stops here through the past year and it's always been on point. Their tacos are made with top quality meats. Their birria has been my favorite. And their breakfast burritos have just been top notch for me.

A lot of people in Uptown are sleeping on thos place.
Also feel it's best after a night of fun at the bars in the area.
Definitely worth giving this place a try.
I'll keep coming here.“

“It's located next to Mi Pulgarcito Pupiseria Salvadoreña and near GS Ethiopian Cafe. I had went to this plaza for another restaurant but they closed already for lunch. I decided to try this grilled chicken place, reminds me of Juan Pollo or El Pollo Loco. It seems family owned with a young teen taking my order.

I chose to try the 16 piece family special with half spicy and regular chicken ($44.99) which came with 4 large sides, tortillas and salsa. I chose their macaroni salad, potato salad, rice, and beans. I got a lunch special for myself that came with a can of soda. The seasoning on the chicken was good, the spicy chicken had a good heat. The skin was crispy and the chicken was moist. My family did not like the sides of macaroni and potato salad.

The staff was nice and the wait time was not long.“

“I come here so often some know me by name.

Get the shrimp burrito is you want to blow your name. The fish/shrimp taco is also really good here!!

Anytime I have a difficult day, I love coming here and treating myself to the shrimp burrito. They also offer grilled shrimp!

To be honest though, the consistency of how good the burrito is varies, but it varies between “yummy” to “my mind is blown this is the best thing ever”“

“I was told about this place from an out of town coworker that has relatives near by. The owner/cook was very hospitable and everything was surprisingly low priced. Tacos were very tasty and well balanced. I would go back definitely. The only thing I didn’t really like was the parking lot cause its entrance is very close to a busy blvd with fast traffic. You have to exit very carefully. I recommend either parking in the back, side street or back in.“

“Super friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere. The chicken was crispy and juicy. Salsas are definitely worth a try! Food was served straight to our table within 5-10 minutes after ordering. The staff was so helpful in picking out deals and coupons. I highly recommend this place. The prices are low, and just a great establishment overall.“

“I'll drive over 30 minutes just to get Sumo TacosThis is a hidden gemthese high-quality ingredients, Their salsas, their beans, their prime meat; it's all tied together into a top-notch flavor experience.Not only is the food good but the services like is like family.sometimes they sell out and pack up early, so call ahead if you're coming from somewhere far off.That's just one of many ways we know sumo tacos are the spot.They deserve a Michelin star the lengths I've driven just to get food here“

“Deliciousness! Very good portion and reasonable price! Staffs are nice!“

“Buscamos un lugar cerca dónde vendieran barbacoa de borrego, afortunadamente encontramos este lugar. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. DELICIOSO!!!! En especial el consomé ya que lo he probado en otros lugares y que lamentablemente cerraron, ninguno lo supera en sabor.“

“This is great comfort food like Mom would make. The tortillas are awesome and the birria is juicy and tender! Highly recommend.“

“The food was delicious, but the service left a little to be desired. It took a long time to serve. They didn't bring everything at once. The chilaquiles are supposed to have eggs. I told the waitress, and it took a long time to bring them, when the rest of the food was cold. Also, the chiles toreados, which are supposed to go with the food. Why would I want that when I've finished my meal? It took them more than seven minutes to bring a beer. It would be great if they could see how they could speed up the service. Perhaps that's where I found the most flaws.“

“This is my cousin‘s restaurant, but even if it wasn’t, I still love love, love their food.This family knows how to cook! Handmade tortillas and sopes like they do in Mexico. Their beans are better than my mothers, but don’t tell her that lol I’m a big believer that if the beans aren’t good the rest of the food isn’t good so I always start with the beans!“

“Fresh, bold, the tortillas say it all; assured, pillowy, layered and complex while being buttery soft and simple. That mole, with its sweet darkness, a hint of kick. The chips come to your table already sprinkled liberally with love; frijoles negros y cotija, one red and one green salsa - all this off the bat once you concede that yes, you would like some chips. I had the Chiapas #3 on the host’s recommendation and it was delicious - the chorizo and eggs was a bit oversalted, I think they double salted the chorizo and then again in the eggs, so that did show up a bit strong. I got the flautas which were lovely and thin while still being substantial. I got the platanos duros con crema dulce for desert, so good, just the right amount of char for sweet and a little savory. The chicken soup tastes unique, fresh, delicious. The spoon you use will be coated in viscous, golden goodness. A bunch of this food I got to go to share with a friend. We are both happy I came. Final note, I felt comfortable, safe, and welcome as a solo lady diner. 🌹🙏🏾“

“This place was so delicious! I got the pozole rojo, add some toppings, their red salsa, and tostadas and sooo good!! My husband got tacos and finished them before I could even get started with my food! The owners were so sweet and attentive. Their agua de Jamaica and pina was DELICIOUS! Will most definitely be coming back!“

“A gem in the city of Monrovia. It’s in a small plaza next to a laundromat, near a liquor store and across from another taco stand—this taco stand across the way doesn’t serve fish tacos. This place has a good variety on their menu, but the prized item is their fish tacos. Quite tasty and delicious with green or red (for the more spicy palettes) salsa. A good place to stop off for a snack or meal. Great and friendly service, especially from Mario.“

“Amazing Sope Tacos Desvelados is basically a thick tortilla with lots of tasty things on top of it. The base is made from masa dough, which is cooked until the outside gets crispy and the inside stays soft and chewy. Each bite tastes great because of the different textures that are mixed together.“

“what i like about Cabreras 1st the awesome service. 2nd the best mexican food that is made with love. and what makes so good is the great music they have it's like eating at home which makes feel like your with family. keep up the great family feeling. oh and when I asked for something that's not on the menu you make it just like eating at home..“

“I used to come here a lot when I was a kid. I went in today and got myself a torta de asada, and let me tell you, it's still bomb!!!! Taste exactly like i remember nothing has changed! I love this place. The food and the staff are great! If I can give them 10 starts i would!“

“Food always hits here, especially the Al Pastor tacos. Everything is freshly made there with amazing flavor. They have a table with enough condiments to add to the food you get. One time they got my order wrong and gave me 2 asada tacos instead of 2 Al Pastor tacos, they gladly fixed the issue and gave me the 2 Al Pastor tacos that I ordered and I kept the other 2 they gave me at first. I have lived in whittier my whole life and I can say that the food from this food truck is the best from any other food truck I've had.“

“Mi Kasa is one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever been to. Their tacos, burritos, and especially the Mi Kasa salad are all out of this world delicious. I honestly think about making the 40 minute drive just to eat there. The flavors are unforgettable! The staff at Mi Kasa are incredibly kind and welcoming as well.“

“Best!!! Mexican food, outside of my home I’ve had in Forever!!! Thank you Sr. Carlos🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🧂🧂🍋“
