50 Best Mexican Restaurants in La Puente

“?? CHIAPAS, MÉXICO (via Eat the World Los Angeles) - Sandwiched between Oaxaca and Guatemala, Chiapas is a lesser-known regional cuisine that has just as much indigenous influence as its neighbors. As the only place in Southern California offering this special food, La Cocina de los Reyes must be making anyone that calls Chiapas home very happy.“

“Some of the best Tacos I ever had“

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

“It was our first time back to this place since the change of new ownership. We used to come a lot when it was under Cortez ownership. Needless to say, we wanted to go somewhere local without waiting much so we decided to come back and try this place.

It was empty when we came in on a Sunday afternoon. The server was very welcoming, courteous and attentive. It was about 92 outside and inside it was nice and fresh, cool but not ice cold. There was plenty of parking ( they have a small parking lot and plenty of street parking).

We both ordered the chilaquiles, one Red and Green plate. Came with refried beans and potatoes. The portions were relatively decent sized; not too big and not too small.

They gave us homemade chips with some homemade green salsa, fidelio soup which were all good but the salsa in my opinion phenomenal. So the free entries were good.

The chips were homemade and not too hard and not saggy, not full of sodium either. The sauces and salsa are all homemade and delicious. The red and green chilaquiles salsas that this place uses were both handmade and great. The beans were delicious, the potatoes were rather hard though and in a very small portion. We enjoyed the food, definitely coming back to try other things on the menu. THEY DON’T SELL ALCOHOL……..

The prices were relatively reasonably priced. If ur local, and don’t want to go broke or wait for a ridiculous waitlist then I’d definitely recommend coming.“

“As soon as we walked into Sabor de Mexico Restaurant, we were greeted with a warm smile from Nick, a super friendly young man. He made us feel right at home, encouraging us to pick any table we liked. After placing our orders, we had a delightful chat with Nick about the fascinating history of the restaurant, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The place was spotless, too! And let me tell you, the food was absolutely amazing—top-notch quality that really hit the spot. The atmosphere was just perfect, making our visit a truly memorable one.“

“Got the birria wet burrito. Was meaty and filling. Salsas were fresh and spicy. Didn't try the other foods, so I can't give it a 5/5.

The decor was nice and colorful

Customer service/ waitresses were nice and friendly.

Prices were very affordable“

“Casa Jimenez is one of our favorite places to eat. The food is always delicious and the staff always so welcoming and friendly. Picked up dinner for the family last night and it was so good. We ordered Carnita plate, Flautes, House Burrito, Fajitas, Pollo Soup. My family enjoyed it so much. Thank you for all the years you have been serving our community.“

“Love love love their carne asada torta and shrimp tacos. I also love their onions that they give with fried Serrano. Also their habanero salsa is to die for 🤤
This taco truck has been my number one option and the price is very reasonable.“

“One of the best garlic fish in LA County, Orange, Riverside, etc…. Delicious flavor and great size. Accompanied by salad and French fries; There is an option of beans and rice too. The place is very clean and tidy. The menu options are spectacular and I will surely return to try more. The service is very good too. The music was very loud and I asked if they could lower the volume and they very kindly did so. I was able to eat in peace. Thank you.“

“This place is so good! They have an extensive menu that includes seafood, soups, traditional Mexican dishes and breakfast as well as aguas frescas. We’ve tried the flautas, sopes, huaraches, tacos dorados, enchiladas, French fries and agua de melon & Jamaica. Their coffee is served hot and is very tasty. They give chips and salsa and the salsa is delicious. They get busy and sometimes it takes them a while to come around for refills but overall the staff is nice and the food comes out quickly. Since discovering this hidden gem, we’ve already been back twice and will continue to return. Also, their prices are very reasonable and the portions are great as well.“

“I've been going for over 30 years and was so disappointed in their food today. I get that food prices have gone up and the portions are smaller these day. I like the smaller portions. But to serve a half basket of chips and salsa in a little dressing cup that my chip cant fit in was disappointing. Their delicious green salsa verde with piece of meat in it was so not the same taste and was not good. I dont know when and if I'll ever go back again because of the disappointing quality of food.“

“good mexican food.taste home made“

“Great Palce I love ❤️ to go and have dinner“

“Very good customer service and very good food, the staff, the girls are very pretty, with all the respect they deserve.I recommend visiting this place "El Marinero" will make you feel like when you were in MexicoThank you so much to Mary and Michelle you're very kind.“

“The carne enchiladas were the 💣“

“By far, the BEST tacos in Los Angeles County. Tasty and packed full of ingredients for an impossibly low price, if you're only going to visit one area taqueria, visit THIS ONE. The asada is always good. The carnitas are hit and miss, so ask to take a look at the meat before ordering, unless you just absolutely HAVE to have carnitas regardless of quality. Sometimes the carnitas can be greasy or fatty, but when it's good, it is very good. The sauce is nothing special, just off the shelf red and green sauce from some restaurant supply store. What makes the tacos so good is the quality and quantity, and the low prices.

Basically tacos and burritos come in two levels: regular and deluxe. Regular tacos come with meat, onions, cilantro, choice of red or green sauce, with plenty of Mexican cheese on two tortillas. They're "street tacos," but are bigger and better than the other street tacos out there. Burritos have basically the same ingredients wrapped in a large tortilla. Combo burritos add beans. A lot of people order the quesadillas, but I don't think they're anything special. If you do order them, order them with meat for just a tiny uplift in price for a much better quesadilla. Try the sopas. They're excellent. Deluxe adds guacamole and sour cream for more money, but I think they aren't the bargain the regular food is. Be careful when ordering. If you order, whether you speak Spanish or English, be careful when asking for "with everything, " or "con todo," because an unscrupulous taco-preparer will take that not as a license to put on the requisite onions, cilantro, sauce, & cheese, but to add the overpriced guacamole and sour cream. It seems the same staff, same cashier, same cooks, etc. have been working at this place for DECADES. At least they're the same one's I'm familiar with from the past 25 years of eating here. Usually there's a staff of at least 3 people working here, but sometimes there are as many as nine or ten employees crammed into this tiny taco hut.

This place is very popular and typically very busy with people lined up. The line generally moves pretty quickly, but in the worst of circumstances, it's taken me 45 minutes from the time I arrive to the time I get my food.

Also, check and make sure the amount you're charged matches what you've ordered, because I've caught them adding extra to my bill.

There are some tables and benches ringing the exterior of the restaurant, but there's only around half a dozen and they're usually occupied if it is anytime near meal time.

This restaurant is located in a small outdoor strip mall, and parking has never been much of an issue, even at the busiest timesd.

Vegetarian options: They have been and cheese burritos, french fries, and can put a salad together, sorta.

Parking: There's generally parking very close to the restaurant, but the lot is pretty large and I've never seen it fill up all the way.“

“The atmosphere was great for the new generation, they where short staffed, had to eat the majority of my $120. Dinner plate with out my drink, wish they get their situation fixed, but otherwise it was an good experience the manager came to try to make things somewhat better. I would try it again, and give them another chance.“

“Food was super delicious, just like home cooking. They could have better salsas, other than that really good food!

Parking: The times I've gone I have never had trouble parking.

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu, very limited but good.“

“excellent food, very fresh and tasty!!!“

“Muy amables y muy rica comida 😋“

“Great home-made Mexican food in a small locale. Very good menudo on weekends. The limited menu changes periodically. ASK WHAT THE DAY'S OFFERINGS ARE. (The posted, unchanged menu board helps little.) Not expensive - very reasonably priced menu! Cash only.

Parking: Limited # of spaces are shared by the merchants in the small shopping center. However, street parking is available.“

“excellent food, very fresh and tasty!!!“

“Love this spot. It's a combo Market /Restaurant. Food is freshly prepared to your desire and liking. The foods I have tasted here, such as Chicken Soup, quesadillas , frijoles, rice, sweet potatoes ? and their tamales especially the corn tamales have been nothing but delicious and yummy.A Family owned business. They have made many major improvements. To their decor and equipmentOh yes. The hot sauces are a delight.“

“Love this place. Authentic flavors, portions are perfect and the service is personable and friendly. I have several dietary restrictions, including gluten, corn and dairy sensitivity. I also avoid most grains. I’m generally okay with mild cross contamination. With that said, there is a lot for me to choose from here. They always accommodate my requests for substitutions as well. I generally order chile verde, eggs with nopales, and various caldos, and substitute the rice for potatoes and ask for no cheese. I always forego the chips and tortillas, but the portions are enough that I am satisfied without them. I also avoid sugar and their cafe de holla is not sweetened so I can actually have it here! (Most places serve it presweetened). My husband and kids don’t have any dietary restrictions, but are super picky, and they love this place too.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten, corn and dairy free“

“Clean, bright, fun restaurant that is appropriate for a get together with family, friends or for business as well. Had the mole enchiladas and they were very good. Service was attentive but staff could have been friendly (more smiles would help). Seems like a safe pick if you are looking for a nice restaurant in this area.“

“It was my first time going there. I noticed the name change from El. Cortez two ,Rincon I never stop by or gone inside, but this time it looked authentic and usually small family owned. Restaurants are very good, my overview of the food. Was that the service and atmosphere. We're very good. I had the beef stew. It was okay. They served. Fideo, For a starter, that was excellent. Also, the Cafe de. LA olla was very good. I will definitely be coming back to try the menudo. Look for my review in the future..“

“Los mejores taquitos que recomiendo Rico’s Sabrosos y Deliciosos“

“Esta muy sabrosa comida me encanto se las recomiendo k ballan y prueven esta deliciosa comida“

“carne asada is Ahmazzing!“

“We stopped by on Saturday night on our way home back to Rancho Cucamonga. We ordered four tacos and one burrito. The only way that I can describe the food is that it was mind-blowing delicious. The hard shell tacos were perfectly made and full of clean and non fathy delicious meat. Our Burrito was large and meaty and fully flavored. I wished I had pictures to share, but we were hungry. ????“

“It was my first time having tacos at a family party. My family could not stop talking about the food . These are the best tacos ever!!!!! They are so friendly and felt like family . Will definitely have them at our next family gathering. They are a nice family own business and we enjoyed having them . Their customer service is the best . Book them you won't regret it .“

“This is probably the best taco truck I have eaten at so far. We have ordered burritos, tacos, tortas and fries. All really good and flavorful. The Horchata is also good. As for the meat ,we usually order Al Pastor ,carnitas ,cabeza,carne asada or tripas .They’ll make the tripas real crunchy if you ask them and that’s the way we like them. The price of the food menu items are really reasonable .We order to go but they do have a canopy with a few chairs and tables to sit down and eat .The condiments are always fresh. We usually fill up a couple of containers with green chili sauce .They do have red sauce also if you like it hot. I recommend this place, the food is always good.

Vegetarian options: None

Parking: Parking lot around the fence

Wheelchair accessibility: None“

“Sabado y Domingo Rico menudo y diario Ricas parrilladas. lo mejor de la puente california mmmmthe best sea food“

“I ordered food to go and picked it up so i really can't comment on the atmosphere except to say there were a lot of people dining there. I had made a mistake in my order before i got there, but they were very accommodating in changing it. All their food is delicious, but I have to rave about the chicken! The taste is so good and it's so tender. My family always orders for parties because everyone loves the chicken.“

“Delicious sea food and micheladas at a great price!“

“Food is delicious, and the workers are super nice and personable. They also bring water out to my dog on the patio. One of my favorite dog friendly locations. Come one come all. As a man who cooks for a living, i truly appreciate the effort and time they put into it all.“

“First time at Rocamar for a friend's birthday. We didn't have dinner, only sushi, which was fairly good, and drinks. The service wasn't the best I've had. The beers were nice and cold, but the margs were light, made with agave liquor, not tequila. The kj played good, made for a good ambiance and the sound system is really good.“

“Un buen lugar las meseras buen trabajo y la comida rikisima“

“deliciosos😋 tacos y economicos recomiendo ampliamente“

“esta rico la comida y saludable y buen servicio al cliente ..“

“Excelente trato y buen sazón estilo D.F!!!! Definitivamente lo recomiendo...“

“First time didn't go too well thanks to mother nature lol! Came in during the winter storm and the power went out before I could even order but I came back in the coming weeks and had the fish tacos special on Monday! 3 tacos for 6.99! Can't go wrong on that. And, the staff was cool and friendly. Definitely recommend this place.“

“Ive been coming to bobs burgers for over a decade and have loved this place for the same amount of time. Tried and true consistency with a friendly staff. Food is always good. I love me some chilli cheese fries and the ones here are delicious“

“I only knew it was a meat store, but it is a very clean store where you can buy basic necessities, fresh vegetables, and fruits. It's so amazing that you can eat delicious and warm food. I usually go there and buy meat, and it always tastes good“

“This location has some of the best asada tostadas in the area. They have great customer service and always treat all the clients like family, apart from the mouth watering food they serve they always ensure to keep the kitchen very well maintenance and deep clean after every night.“

“I love their food. There are only two things that bother me the idiots that constructed the car wash, the exit is right by their drive-thru. They gave the little restaurant no consideration whatsoever. The food is great. They screwed up my order one time I took my order back, and they comped everything. This restaurant Stands by their food. I totally recommend this place“

“awesome and yummy better then any“
