50 Best Mexican Restaurants near La Palma

“amazing food and customer service 👍“

“This is a small place, but it’s very clean and well-kept. Even the restroom was spotless, which I really appreciated. The staff—especially the friendly young lady—were very welcoming and kind.

The shrimp tacos were delicious“

“I got the 3 tacos combo with beans, rice, and a drink @ $19. Best tacos in order fish was great. The fish and batter had a good flavor, next AL pastor was really good not dry, last the shrimp. Not that it was bad, not at all. I just had to make an list. Everything was good and I will be back.“

“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.“

“Pleasantly surprised to have this experience of flavor, ambiance and service. We normally go to Nico’s or Marlena because of its consistency of flavor and location to home. Viaje is the equivalent and then some. The chef is from Mexico City and is the real deal. The food, starting off with the ceviche 9/10, ribeye appetizer 10/10, branzino 10/10 and then the dessert of the tres leches 10/10. Ok, so you don’t quite believe me, well, try 11/10 for the consume broth for the lamb appetizer!! David was our server recommended we just try the broth since we were so full. We were dipping tortilla chips into the broth like little kids it was so good!! It didn’t matter how full be were!

Food all came out timely and together nice and hot. It’s rare to have everything taste that good from start to finish. Price may be an obstacle for most, but doesn’t break the bank like a Michelin Star place. Viaje is one of those restaurants that need to stay on 2nd St…it is the very best on that strip if not all of Long Beach.“

“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.“

“So glad we stumbled upon this place. Great service and excellent food. Will definitely become regulars. Recommend club sandwich and Chilaquiles!!!!“

“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.“

“Muy buenos los recomiendo excelente servicio“

“On April 11 it was my family first time going to Fuegos Craving and let me tell you it was worth it and food came out fast. I will say that the cashier made the experience even better unfortunately wasn’t able to catch her name but it was around 8ish when we went and I would come back just for her energy! Overall the food was fantastic and will most definitely be back!!“

“Yumm rica comida buen servicio el personal muy agradable muy limpio el restaurante recomendado🥰👌“

“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.“

“We love Manny! Family owned this has the best food always. Breakfast burrito 🌯 😋 😍 to fast made to order lunches toco crunchy or soft choose of meat, burrito. Dinner specials l love the burria special the rice and beans are 👍 👌 Salsa bar. Friendly people. I 💕 this little place.“

“Definitely a fist class experience. My family and I are vacationing at Disney/California adv. from Utah. We wanted Mexican food and came across Sabor Chilango online. Saw the Guacamole appetizer and were sold! Well, the experience there is even better than the photo. Would give more stars if I could. Miguel Angel was top notch with his service. The food was unmatched. Will definitely eat there again!“

“So delicious! Many selections for all palettes!“

“Really really good tamales Nuff said“

“I feel like I discovered this place - I saw about Puffy Tacos years ago but I’d never had one. And then “I” discovered Arturo’s! OMG! I’m here once to twice a week! Next week I’m bringing friends!“

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

“Delicioso, es como estar en Sinaloa“

“En este restaurante se como delicioso y se disfruta 💯 recomendado“

“Definitely give this place a try! Friendly staff and delicious burritos - get em wet. The meat is very tender, the salsas and sauces have big time flavor and kick when you want it. Lots of tvs on the patio if you like that, but also open air if you don't.
Margs are wine-based, not full on tequila (But I don't think you'll notice.)“

“If you have a shrimp alergy, becareful as there was cross contamination with our fish orders. Aside from my bf small alergy reaction, food was amazing 10 out of 10 fish tacos, shrimp tacos, shrimp burrito and ceviche were amazing. The yellow seasoned peppers were the cherry on top for me. Def going back“

“This place is SO good! I got the breakfast burrito and added cheese and avocado. Omg it was so big I had it for two meals. It was just as amazing for the second meal. Everyone that worked there was so nice, it had such a great family feel. A few customers came in while I was eating outside, and it was clear they were regulars - as i would be if I lived closer! Also, I dont eat meat and there were plenty of options!

There aren't any tables inside but there are a few outside with umbrellas if needed.“

“Alex! it's obvious you've never been to Don Ruben's Mexican food! The food is good the customer service is good I have no complaints I'm giving it a five-star review prices are excellent you can ask for more there's nothing fishy about it you need to get out and try something and if a place is good of course they're going to have all good reviews I feel sorry for you never seen a good place or tasted good Mexican food and I'm 100% Mexican so get out some try something new unless you're from another nearby restaurant trying to put a negative spin on something but don't revenge is excellent five stars for sure!“

“Great food! Highly recommend!“

“Es mi primera ves este lugar está más que recomendado el menudo woow 🤤🤤y las gorditas regresaremos pronto para probar lo demás ♥️y quedamos fascinados con la decoración que tienen me encanto dios los bendiga“

“I have come here multiple times at this point with so many different people and have never been disappointed. My go to is the breakfast burrito. The price is so affordable considering the huge portion sizes. I highly recommend the chorizo, sausage, and bacon burrito. They also have other items like burgers which are also great.“

“Yummy and tasty authentic Mexican food, along with wonderful Elvis memorabilia“

“Had an amazing meal in a chic and cozy booth with spot-on decor, food presentation & atmosphere. Great margaritas!“

“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.“

“Love this place. It ticks every box:

✅️ Great food
✅️ Great service
✅️ Great value
✅️ Easy parking

You won't be disappointed if you go, but unfortunately no one is going there now. I hope they have a good lease agreement, because I don't see how they can survive at this location. So enjoy it now while it lasts people!“

“I ordered asada, pastor, and cabeza - my usual trio. Unfortunately, the meat was very dry for me. The lady who helped me at the cashier was nice. The price has been raised a bit more compared to the menu picture on here taken 7 months ago. Many indoor seatings and big parking lot.“

“This is an excellent restaurant in an attractive space with attentive service. For the quality, the price is more than fair.

The traditional ceviche with fish was fresh, complex, and came with multiple sauces. The empanadas were perfectly done, with the fish ones being a bit strong for our taste and the shrimp ones being really outstanding. We also had very rich, very filling Tacos Perrones whose fish was perfectly done. They serve fried tortillas instead of corn chips, which is both attractive and delicious. My only complaint would be that my margarita was kind of light on the alcohol.

Long Beach is lucky to have this place.“

“I work right next to this place & I tried it for the first time and can’t get enough of it now it’s nice & quiet & you get a piece of mind while you enjoy your meal I fully recommend 10/10 and the cook and host is nice and make sure I’m good every time I come !!“

“Amazing!! The food is exquisite every single dish plate takes you back to the real Mexican flavor. The service is very nice 👍🏼
Maybe is me, but the music is a little loud only. Everything else is wonderful thank you for feeding us “El Sol 626”
Also the churro dessert was the bomb🥰“

“I highly recommended El Gallo Giro for the best carne asada burrito“

“muy buena comida y exelente servicio“

“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.“

“Unique Oaxacan cuisine that is tasty and different from standard Mexican food. Very traditional to the region. Most of the customers seem to be Mexican, so that speaks to the authenticity of their food. Definitely not commercial fare. Good mole here.“

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

“The food was good! tried three a la cart items and was pleased with all of it...great pricing to boot!“

“Super nice service and food“

“Seriously the best Authentic Mexican food I had hands down. Like how do you make scrambled eggs taste so good. Meal had me thanking GOD! Didn't even need salsa, food was perfectly seasoned from the rice, to the beans and eggs! I recommend this hidden GEM to anyone in California.“

“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.“
