50 Best Mexican Restaurants near La Palma

“amazing food and customer service 👍“

“Fourth time ordering their green chilaquiles + asada . Really good, authentic taste. I always like the presentation of their plates as well. :)

I've tried their chicken salad and it was fresh and good size.

Their churro balls are bomb!

I also like that they offer home-cooked meals and local vibes. Affordable and diverse menu too for Mexican and American food.“

“Consistently delicious. Best fish tacos ever, crispy but soft inside, and so well served! I can eat the fish tacos all day, but if you ever crave something else- the tacos dorados are also delicious- beans, requeson or potato- all so good! The ceviche has also become a go-to part of my order. Lastly, the service is always top tier- everyone is so nice and incredibly helpful!“

“Wow, just wow... what a great experience. Not your average Mexican cuisine, more like Mexico City gourmet... not that I don't love me a good street taco. Came for my birthday and everything was damn near to perfect... even the suggested Mexican wine turned out to be amazing. Watch out California...“

“Delicioso, es como estar en Sinaloa“

“Reasonable prices, excellent food & very friendly, give them a try“

“Service was good food was good. Small place but great will go back. They had a large party and looks like they just started so they offer to give free fruit drinks because the large party was taking their present. Portion was not small but not to little. Come and enjoy.“

“Really good food tonight! About a 15 minute walk from Pixar Place Hotel, and worth it.
My hubs and I shared a chicken Burrito Mojado with salsa verde and their freshly made guacamole. Delicious! Miguel was the sweetest server :) He was so proud to practice speaking English with us. Highly recommend this place.“

“The staff here is very friendly. The manager welcome you as you come in and thanks you as you leave. Food is fresh right off the grill and very tasty. I had their nachos and a two piece. Surprisingly the chicken breast was very juicy. Will see ya guys again soon. Keep up the good work.“

“great fresh ingredients. wonderful flavors hot hot sauce bar. beautiful“

“So delicious! Many selections for all palettes!“

“when we want a tasty meal, we come here. always delicious“

“The food was good, and the staff were incredibly friendly—something we truly appreciated. However, there were a few drawbacks that impacted our overall experience. The menu didn’t have prices listed, which made ordering a bit uneasy since we weren’t sure what to expect cost-wise. I ordered a wet carne asada burrito, and the composition was disappointing: about 60% rice, 10% beans, and only 30% carne asada. The flavor was decent, but it felt more like a rice dish than a true carne asada burrito. On the other hand, my wife had the birria and genuinely enjoyed it. While there were some highlights, I don't think we'd choose to return. Still, the welcoming attitude from the staff deserves recognition.“

“Célebre mi Cumpleaños 🎂 todo espectacular, solo quería comprar Mole en la tienda y estaba cerrada temprano o se fueron a comer por unas horas fue raro eso.“

“El fin de semana celebramos la quinceañera de mi hija en Rivera's Restaurant y todo estuvo excelente. Desde el primer acercamiento George siempre fue muy amable y comprensivo con lo que esperábamos para nuestra fiesta. La decoración y sobre todo la comida y atención a nuestros invitados fue excelente. Estamos convencidos que volveriamos a tener otro evento con ellos.“

“This was an amazing dining experience. Having worked in the hospitality and restaurant industry for decades it is thrilling to dine at a venue that is top rate. Flavors are extraordinary — the shrimp aquachile was spicy with perfect degree of acid; handmade tortillas with the short ribs were perfect; the short rib was so tender and favorful. John who was our server was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, professional, very helpful in navigating the very interesting menu. The specials associated with the Food and Wine Festival at the Disney parks provided lovely options to consider. Will be coming again and again“

“Juan made our experience spectacular! Great customer service, they were closing soon and he made sure he gave us the best. We had the tacos and Taco plate and they were delicious, a modern twist on traditional Mexican tacos. The guacamole was so fresh too. Highly recommend“

“Muy buenos los recomiendo excelente servicio“

“Amazing service & the food was outstanding! It was so fresh, delicious that the vibe was super cute. Our server Alan at the till was so welcoming, and his hospitality was sensational. Definitely will be coming back daily for the rest of our trip.“

“OMG! WOW! Makes me wanna cry! Reminds me of my mami and nana's Cocina! AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! 100% BETTER than Chipotle! Or Taco Bell! I regret not trying it out sooner! Been working next door for 8 months and never looked appetizing on the outside! Just goes to show that looks can be completely deceiving! I'm DEFINITELY returning with my whole crew!“

The Huarache of carne asada was Soo good my mom loved it and the tacos de lengua 💣 bomb .. we ordered agua fresca de Limon and it too was delicious 😋 not at all over powering of sugar it was perfect and I mean perfect.

“Had 6 tacos and breakfast burrito. Very good for the price, portion is good. Arrived earlier than store hours by mistake but owner was very welcoming and start my order right away. Will return to try out next item on menu. Cash only. Parking street is typical of 4th Street, aka none.“

“todo esta muy rico riquísimo diría llo el menudo la virria de chivo puebenlo no se arrepentirán de ir a probar todo al 100“

“I just got back from going here with my daughter and I always recommend this spot to family and friends, I’ve been a fan of this place since I first went about four years ago.on a date. Such delicious food and unique options on the menu. I also like the atmosphere and the people that work there are always really friendly andcool people.“

“I’ve been coming here since 2013 and I’ve never been dissatisfied. The blackened fish tacos got me in the door and I’ve been back for just about everything. Had a torta tonight and again good. This is easily my favorite authentic Mexican spot in Huntington Beach and the only spot that is on par with tacos los cholos.“

“Sol 626 is truly special. The menu offers a good variety of dishes, and our server was very knowledgeable about the ingredients and the origins of the recipes. Ambiance and service were exemplary, but the food was the real star of our evening. We tried the salmon, carne asada, and enchiladas with both red and green mole sauces. Each of these plates was perfectly prepared. Such amazing flavors! I also ordered the jamaica agua fresca, and it was delicious and not too sweet. I highly recommend Sol 626.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options would require substitutions.

Parking: Parking lot behind restaurant

Wheelchair accessibility: The parking lot behind the restaurant has accessible parking and a double door entrance to the building level with the parking lot. The front, street side entrance has steps and so is not wheelchair accessible.“

“These tacos are some of the least expensive in town and are pretty good
Don't be intimidated by the line you see, It goes by so fast!
The workers here are working quickly but are attentive and friendly still. Definitely check them out“

“Great food! Highly recommend!“

“muy buena comida y exelente servicio“

“My friends and I made dinner reservations at Tulum OC and it was by far the best experience. Pedro, our server was so attentive, funny and overall a pleasure to interact with during our dinning experience. He gave us recommendations and guided us through the menu. He also answered all of my questions, which was very kind of him. Drinks: I personally ordered the Spicy Jalapeño Margarita, my cousin ordered the Margarita Flight (Mango, Strawberry, Cucumber Cilantro, and Watermelon), and my friend ordered the Smoked Pineapple Margarita. Overall, the drinks were FANTASTIC! Very delicious! They paired really well with the free chips and salsa (Side Note: THE GREEN SALSA WAS SO GOOD!!) But the drinks were truly perfectly balanced, not overly sweet like your typical margarita. We enjoyed every sip! We can't wait to come back and try other cocktails. Appetizer: My friend ordered the Aguachiles, and it was REALLY GOOD. We would like it to be a little bit spicier, but overall it was very delicious. It also came with home made tostada, and it truly elevated the experience to the next level. Main Meal: I ordered the Skirt Stake Fajitas, and my cousin and friend ordered the Lobster Enchiladas. Let me start off by saying that I was expecting the fajitas to be very bland, but it was beyond savory! The steak was thick, and every piece was so flavorful. I enjoyed every piece. The Fajita veggies were perfectly seasoned and paired perfectly with the steak. And the guacamole and salsa added a perfect balance to the plate. I would get this again in a heartbeat! The Lobster Enchiladas were a SURPRISE. We truly didn't know what to expect since we've never encountered a plate like that before. But it was quite the surprise. Every bite of the enchilada had lobster in it, which was surprising. And the creamy lobster enchilada sauce was truly a surprising and flavorful treat. It blends perfectly well with the enchilada itself. It needed to be spicy, but we managed with the table green salsa. Overall we truly LOVED everything we ordered and can't wait to bring my parents and grandmother to have dinner here in the future. Shout out to Pedro for being so fun and accommodating. He also brought my cousin a cute detail for her birthday. Truly couldn't have asked for a better waiter. Give this place a chance. It's fairly new and they have a very delicious menu.“

“I went to this place hungover and the guys were awesome they gave me my menudo nice and hot and were super chill. They even gave us an extra bowl for my husband. Lol The staff are friendly, they understood the assignment 🤣 Not to mention the prices are reasonable unlike other spots that charge too much for menudo. Definitely recommend 👌🏼“

“my first time here. I ordered a carne asada burrito and it was super delicious.“

“Delicious restaurant, I highly recommend it. We came for the first time. We were looking to eat delicious food with children and this place is very delicious. They have everything you want to eat. I will definitely return. The staff is very friendly, fast service.“

“Realmente la comida es deliciosa 😋“

“The tacos were ginormous and basically meat explosions. The burrito, while scrumptious, was a tad meat-stingy. This place has tables and seating coming out of its ears for dine-in enthusiasts. And don't even get me started on the parking – it's like they're begging you to bring your entire crew. The price? Totally reasonable, not a single complaint. I'd swing by again in a heartbeat to try more menu goodies.“

“I recently had dental work done and needed some of the ingredients finely chopped. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. They listened to my needs and went above and beyond to fulfill them. I am very happy with the service. Now on to the food. The food tasted great and was very refreshing. I had a boss bowl with al pastor. They were able to chop everything up for me so I would have very minimal chewing. I'm glad I decided to try this place out for the first time. I missed eating delicious food. Looks like I found my go to place to eat when I get sick of this liquid diet.“

“Probably the best Mexican restaurant I have been too. Friendly and generous staff.“

“Almost want to keep this place a secret for myself! Came in for Sunday Brunch and was thrilled. The brunch menu was delicious and fresh. I had bowl of Pizole, Chili Relleno, Birria, and too many tacos!! So good!
Tortillas, ceviche and tostadas were so fresh... maybe made on site? If not I want to know where to buy them. Haha.
We will be back often!
Thank you for a fantastic experience.“

“Good tacos, good flavor, 1.50 tripa tacos. Don't have parking.“

“This is the best Mexican restaurant in Huntington Beach. The Carnitas is better than I have ever had. Spectacular service.“
