20 Best Mexican Restaurants in La Mirada

“Southern California has a LOT of great Mexican food but this place was next level. The carnitas burrito was had carnitas that was perfectly crispy and the flavor was great. The Birria del Rey plate was flavorful. The service was quick and friendly. The place had a great family vibe. Definitely going to make this a regular stop.“

“This local spot in Whittier is a family's favorite. They're authentic and Their prices are reasonable. The food is spot on and the variety is plenty. Waking up on saturday morning to a menudito or chilaquiles is the best. Give this place a try and you will keep coming back. On weekends you can use all the parking spots from the other businesses but please do not block anyone. Be patient, good food takes time. Enjoy!!!“

“We found this place by accident today. Wow!!! The food is authentic and so delicious!!! You got to try the trio fajitas and the chorizo torta. Mmmmmm.

Many thanks to our wonderful waiter Walter who made us feel like we were at home.

We will be back soon....“

“Excelente Servicio y muy Limpio el Lugar. Y sobre todo Muy sabrosa la comida. lo recomiendo.“

“Place was clean and food was really good but service was horrible! Other reviews said the same. They had my son waiting a while for a drink refill until I went to get it myself. After eating our meals, I went to get a drink refill and they just ignored me and had me wait a while as well. 2 ladies didn't acknowledge me or the gentleman serving.Even a customer stated that it wasn't kool to have me wait a while for a refill. If you advertise free refills, then give it! You need to improve your service if you want regular or new customers ! Edit: since my last review, they placed the drink dispenser out in the open. Now you don't have to wait for a refill. Good job guys!“

“Tequila Ceviche was Delicious! Their Craft beer was not only yummy, but nice and Cold. They serve samplers too! The staff was very friendly. I look forward to my next visit.“

“Amazing food and compassionate kind-hearted people. It’s my favorite place to eat, a routine spot because of the great service!“

“Muy buena comida y servicio“

“Very friendly, cozy spot. I had the pleasure of trying this place with my family and it did not disappoint. Prices are decent and affordable, and the service is truly top tier.

They bring out free chips and salsa, and the portions for the meals are huge, so you definitely get your money’s worth. It feels like a very family-oriented restaurant, and the interior design gives it a warm, welcoming vibe.

We enjoyed munching on chips and salsa while waiting for our entrées, and the staff was friendly across the board. Highly recommend for a casual family meal.“

“Hands down the best pastrami I ever had in 40+ years. Found this place by accident. Honestly, shouldnt wcen be eating fast food. Shared a ½ pastrami with my kid & I will definitely drive the 36 miles again 1 way to get another one. I have never had a pastrami with so many pickles per sandwich and the perfect amount of mustard. So.... yummy, melted in our mouths like butter.“

“It was absolutely the best Mexican food. Had the best waitress Mallory. Efficient and kept checking on us if we were ok or needed anything. Very friendly too. Food being excellent and a great waitress tops it all off. Thank you and we’ll be for sure!!“

“Great food, great service. Friendly employees, friendly owner. Can’t go wrong with this place.“

“Got 1b Barbacoa,3 small consome and three drinks for 3 ppl, paid around 70. It was very much worth it, more than enough food for everyone. I appreciate that the consome came with garbanzos and rice,honestly best ive ever tasted. Also tried their cucumber limeade, excellent perfect pairing. Finally, fresas n crema was perfect thick sweet cream. Would definitely come back and recommend!“

“Very friendly service, food came fast. I had the fish sandwich with fries and a drink, it came with lots of fries, I couldn't eat them all
The sandwich was really good with crispy lettuce and a thick slice of tomato, the fries were cooked perfectly, lightly salted. Great lunch. They have a lot of menu items so it will be worth it to come back and try something else.“

“This place has by far the best seafood in So Cal bar none. There's not a single thing on the menu that hasn't been exceptional. I am not sure why I never paid attention as I have driven by this place for at least 24 years. Now that I have tried it , I can't have enough of it. They have the best fried Mojarra, and they have the superlatively delicious cucaracha shrimp. Their shrimp dishes are out of this world. Their prices are also moderate for seafood. Stop wasting your time when looking for some good Mexican seafood restaurants. This is it. Don't make the mistake I made. You can thank me later.“

“very good food! I highly recommend Tom's. great deals.“

The dining space was bright, clean, and inviting, which added to the enjoyment of the meal. Everything combined to create a positive, memorable visit that guests would happily repeat.“

“I sorta didn't have enough money to pay my order but the staff was really helpful in offering solutions. But in the end they gave me a free soda and I apologized and went on my way with my head buried in the sand and my tail tucked between my legs.“
