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 love it here and I have never had an issue until today, but that has nothing to do with the staff or the business. This individual pokes me in my arm to get my attention, and I told him that my ears work just fine and if he would like to gain it to speak. Clearly since I was watching something on my phone that it would be understood that my ears were just fine. I didn’t even have headphones in. I called the sheriffs department and they had a firm talk with this individual. This individual was talking all this church and God stuff with people, and when I told him to keep his hands off of me, his true character emerged.“

“Really really good tamales Nuff said“

“Celebrated my birthday dinner with Viaje - it was amazing!🫶🏼 food 10/10, service was great as well. I really appreciated having a corner table so we could comfortably take pics. Try their house margarita (they can do raspberry) and tres leches cake 🍰 so yummy!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I finally have a local, good, and cost effective place near my house. So far I’ve had their cheese burger and fish ceviche. The burger was big and juicy. The fries were great. The fish ceviche was spiced so if you don’t like spice like me, ask them to put the vinaigrette on the side and add to your liking. But a good overall place that I recommend. They also do take out and call in for pick up. They do Door Dash and Grub hub too.“

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

“Muy buenos los recomiendo excelente servicio“

“First time visiting and staff is very friendly. Samantha helped me out as I was undecided with all the delicious options. I ordered the 2 Quesabirria taco plate. It came with rice, beans and consume. So delicious I order another to go. lol (Don’t judge me #foodlover). The restaurant is clean but was a bit warm. Had an AC on but in this heat, it was still a bit warm. Gave atmosphere 4 stars for that reason. Otherwise, very nice and chill spot. Samantha was great and very tentative.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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 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“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“la comida estava delisiosa, el mesero muy atento . excelente servisio“

“Super yummy spot with legit Mexican food, good chips and salsa too. Friendly staff - they’re just in a weird spot tucked behind Starbucks so they’re easy to miss.

If I lived closer I’d be all over this place.“

“Great food! Highly recommend!“

“Excellent food, service, and atmosphere! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Whenever we are in the area, we come to Rey’s for breakfast!! Good food and super friendly staff!!!“

“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“

“What a pleasant surprise! We stumbled across this place and decided to give it a shot for breakfast this morning... it instantly became our new favorite breakfast spot in OC. It was THAT good. Like, we're already planning to come try lunch here in a few days. The prices were very fair for the portion sizes (the breakfast burrito was huge!). Of course we had to try a couple of street tacos because my husband and I are kind of on a street taco kick right now, and omg. When I say their carne asada is the BEST we've tried so far - and we've tried LOTS - I am 100% serious, it is so freaking delicious! The al pastor too, soooo good. We can't wait to come back and try more! Also wanted to mention the gentleman at the counter who served us, I didn't catch his name, but he was so welcoming and kind. He might have been the owner, not sure. You HAVE to try Roman's if you're in the area... and even if you're not, it's worth going out of the way for. Amazing experience!“

“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.“

“excelente customer service!! The food was amazing, not to say the portions were the best... A definitely must go and try.“

“Great service. Friendly help. Good food“

“La Taberna Jalisco is a hidden gem and a must-try for anyone who loves authentic Mexican food.

The food and service are both amazing. Hands down, the best fish tacos I've had. They keep me coming back every time.

If you haven't been yet, you're missing out!“

“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 !!“

“It’s our favorite Mexican Restaurant in LB.“

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

“muy buena comida y exelente servicio“

“We spent about $100 for 3 people on the food we ordered & we couldn’t be more pleased with the food and service! Workers were so kind and we were so excited to try the food we forgot to take a picture of everything! 10/10 love this place!“

“Chose to come here very last minute after learning a different Whittier favorite restaurant had closed. We were unaware of required reservations but the owner was extremely accommodating for us to which I was truly grateful. It was an extremely busy Friday as there was a large party. The cleanliness and vibe of the establishment was amazing. There was a live band playing which added more to the first experience. Drinks and presentation were great and then the food arrived and everything was chefs kiss!! Mole chips are great but the mole negro was some of the best I have ever had. Portions are enough to share if needed. To the owner - thank you for being so accommodating. Parking here is extremely limited in the back. Street parking is the best bet.“

“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.“

“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.“

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