50 Best Mexican Restaurants in La Puente

“Some of the best Tacos I ever had“

“Fresh, bold, the tortillas say it all; assured, pillowy, layered and complex while being buttery soft and simple. That mole, with its sweet darkness, a hint of kick. The chips come to your table already sprinkled liberally with love; frijoles negros y cotija, one red and one green salsa - all this off the bat once you concede that yes, you would like some chips. I had the Chiapas #3 on the host’s recommendation and it was delicious - the chorizo and eggs was a bit oversalted, I think they double salted the chorizo and then again in the eggs, so that did show up a bit strong. I got the flautas which were lovely and thin while still being substantial. I got the platanos duros con crema dulce for desert, so good, just the right amount of char for sweet and a little savory. The chicken soup tastes unique, fresh, delicious. The spoon you use will be coated in viscous, golden goodness. A bunch of this food I got to go to share with a friend. We are both happy I came. Final note, I felt comfortable, safe, and welcome as a solo lady diner. 🌹🙏🏾“

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

“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.“

“The food and atmosphere here are A+++. Everything our table ordered was incredible. The cafe de olla was perfect, not too sweet and right temperature. They have vegetarian options, including quesadillas de huitlacoche! They also have really great agua fresca options, including mango with chia and mango chile limón. You have to try to the queso fresco too with their house salsa. I was cheering with every bite. Can't wait to come back.“

“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.“

“The carne enchiladas were the 💣“

“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.“

“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.“

“Ok.. went here today we were actually going to taco del rio, they were closed.. thought we’d try this place… well… I have a new favorite place…. Only come here if you are hungry… lol. The burrito was huge.. the flavor so great not too spicy food was served hot. Place clean and festive. Sonya was so nice she checked on us visited with us. Beans creamy asada flavorful…. Chips and salsa on the table. I’m a very critical person if it sucks I’ll tell you but this place is really good. I will come back I’m going to bring my mother in law. No more Pepes for me…. Found my new spot!!! Thank you !!“

“I’ve been dining at Cortez Brothers Restaurant for over 25 years, and I’m so glad to see that even with the new owners, the quality and authenticity of their food have stayed the same. Their tortas are second to none—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made every time. The restaurant has a true family-owned atmosphere, with friendly staff who treat you like part of the family. It’s rare to find a place that stays consistent for decades, and Cortez Brothers is one of those gems. I highly recommend it to anyone, especially locals, looking for authentic, home-style food with great customer service.“

“Me and my wife grew up in the neighborhood eating here. We were celebrating our 35fth anniversary and wanted to relive our spot when we were boyfriend and girlfriend. It's been 28 years since we ate here so we had the La Indiana burrito since that's our favorite plate. Just like back in the day it is still good, we are going to do there nacho plate I'm sure that is still good.“

“good mexican food.taste home made“

“Absolutely legendary spot. Those who know don’t read these reviews so if you’re reading this you must be naive to how good this place is. Just stop reading and drive here immediately. There’s typically a line and it’s cash only but it’s COMPLETELY WORTH IT. This place is in my top 3 best tacos in LA, so you must come here and get the Special Tacos if you’re a local foodie. Now stop reading and start eating!“

“Absolutely fantastic!!! My wife and I had lunch here today and it was delicious. The salsa was fantastic. My wife said that the chicken in her tacos was the best she's ever had. She's from San Diego and eats Mexican food daily. My fajitas were fantastic with homemade tortillas.
Service was quick, helpful, and friendly. We're going back tomorrow (and thought about also going back tonight).“

“long time ago a friend bring to me a breakfast from this location and taste was really good, and this time I was here with my family members to take a dinner over weekend, wasn't on peak time, but location have a very warm atmosphere, the service is very friendly, We don't expect big plates with lots of food, I took some back home, In my side I order Molcajete with side of guacamole, in my humble opinion was really taste on the majority of ingredients, but some things were not to my liking, for example the chorizo and carnitas no too bad but doesn't have the really Mexican style, maybe some other like but for me was and one of my nephew wasn't, also beans I didn't know they put mozzarella cheese on top, I am not a very good candidate for this combination, I would have liked the chicken to be leg fillet, which is juicier, instead of breast. Any way we left very full and satisfied.“

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

“Muy amables y muy rica comida 😋“

“I really enjoy the food at Tacis Con Todo, the carne asada burritos are amazing. Plus the staff is really friendly and makes you feel like family.“

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

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

“What a great find. We tried the Caldo De Res and Albondigas soup, each came with rice, sides, and tortillas. The handmade corn tortillas were really good. They also came with chips and honemade green salsa both were really good. I'll definitely be back.“

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

“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.“

“Amazing delicious authentic Mexican food. The flavor and seasoning is so good, was welcomed by the owner. She is so lovely and very attentive. Keep in mind weekends are her most busiest days out of the week. Her menudo and handmade tortillas are delicious. Her gorditas are even more delicious! I would recommend this spot for anyone wanting to try a Mexican dish.“

“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.“

“We took the family for dinner on a cold night. So glad we did. I got the ramen bowl. Kids got the taco dorados with consume. Everyone enjoyed it. So good The salsa and horchata tasted great. Staff friendly and nice. I didn’t have to ask for more napkins they gave me a lot. Place is clean Will be back for the torta next time.“

“carne asada is Ahmazzing!“

“The food is great! The blue corn tortillas are soft and fresh. The salsas they use for the Huazontle and Mixiotes is so goooood! I go with a friend and he always gets the chicken huarache and he loves it. Last time, we shared some chalupas and damn... simple but delicious. Can't wait to try the next dish :) No frills place, though.“

“If you like birria this is the place to come. They only have birria items nothing else. Birria tacos, birria tortas, and a lot more. If you are looking for any other meat you will need to stop at a different spot. Just remember to take cash if you come to this spot, they do take Zelle but cash is faster and easier.“

“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.“

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

“Buena comida buen servicio“

“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.“

“deliciosos😋 tacos y economicos recomiendo ampliamente“

“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“

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

“Excellent Food and Outstanding Service!

I had an amazing experience at this Juan Pollo! The food was absolutely delicious — the chicken was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and tender, with just the right amount of seasoned flavor. The sides were fresh and flavorful, especially the potato salad, which has to be the BEST potato salad out there.

What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They made sure everything was to my liking and served everything quickly with a smile.

Juan Pollo offers not just great food, but also a warm, friendly atmosphere that makes you want to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality food and exceptional service!“

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

“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“

“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 .“

“Delicious 😋 the fries are thick cut and the meat is soft and tender. I had their chili-chese cheese burger and my hubby had their Bacon Avocado burger and they were made fast and absolutely perfect. After partying last night and waking up partially hung over this was a GEM to find.“
