50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lake View Terrace

“Wow! The best Mexican Sinaloa food I’ve had! The food is made from scratch and you can really tell, like the corn tortilla — whoa ? delicious! The slow cooked, melty and juicy pork (spicy barbacoa) tasted similar to my native 김치찌개 amazing! Stopped by after Discovery Cube LA and was so glad I did. The handmade tortilla is a must try.“

“So glad my daughter and I stopped here. We each had breakfast burritos and they were excellent. Not only delicious, but big. We both tried the hot salsa and liked it. The atmosphere was very inviting. The service was the best I've received in a very long time. The server was very attentive and sweet. The cook came out and asked if we were enjoying our meal. He was interested in our feedback. We both decided we would be back even though we don't live in the area. It was definitely worth the effort of finding parking. Don't pass this place up
PS, the cook let us try the birria. That's what I'm ordering next time. Yum“

“I passed this place a dozen times. This morning I was craving some breakfast. I asked for something that was not even on the menu. A chilaquiles burrito. He said I will be happy to make it for you. It was awesome! Everything I wanted wrapped in that burrito. Great place the owner is so friendly and gracious. I highly recommend that everyone support this wonderful small business!“

“Amazing food! Made to order, clean and beautiful dining area, excellent customer service. Tacos Al pastor, tacos de chicharrón, gorditas Xochipilli, chilaquiles, a few of my favorites. The best spot in the valley for authentic Mexican food.“

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Casita! Brittany, the concierge, and our server Delilah provided exceptional, warm, and professional service that truly stood out. The food was not only delicious but also incredibly flavorful, and the atmosphere was simply stunning—inviting, elegant, and perfectly suited for a memorable evening. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed every moment. This was an experience to remember, and we’re already looking forward to coming back soon!“

“Possibly the best burrito bowl I've ever had in my life. And the workers are really nice! Honestly it is a must try. You won't even notice you're in a gas station. Don't forget about the salad bar with the roasted jalapenos either. Thank me later.“

“We love to come here sit in the bar with margaritas, chips/salsa. Meet all types of people, a fun time.“

“Really good grilled chicken, decent portion sizes too. The tortillas are homemade, and it shows, they are delicious. The price is really good considering how much food they give you. I ordered over the phone for pickup, and it was ready right as I got there. Friendly staff as well. I'll definitely be coming back in the future.“

“My Family And I , Really Enjoyed, Pablo, Gave Us A Great Experience!!!! Will Be Back!!! Love It, And Great Food!!!“

It’s hard to find a place that has seafood burritos and I’m excited to try the 6$ breakfast burrito..

Vegetarian options: There are good options, labeling on ingredients for beans and rice could be emphasized for lard and chicken stock.“

“El sabor de las comidas son auténticas delicias el ambiente muy amigable. Recomiendo ampliamente a Cemiches restaurante gracias amigo yoyó y Lupe“

“definitivamente el mejor lugar 😉“

“One of the best Veggie Burritos I have ever had! Filling but not overly so and packed with great fresh ingredients evenly spread throughout! This thing brought me back to life after a super long day, highly recommended and a great restaurant overall!“

“Costa Grande Restaurant has received positive reviews for its authentic Mexican cuisine. If you're looking for fresh, handmade tortillas and flavorful dishes, it might be a great choice. The restaurant is known for its tacos, enchiladas verde, and burritos that impress even California transplants1. If you're in the Los Angeles area, the Van Nuys location also has good ratings, with customers praising its fish tacos and friendly service. Would you like more details on the menu or customer experiences?“

“Why not go straight to the manufacturer for the areas freshest tamales. Factory is in the back, and they have a modest little front facing store to purchase your favorite flavor tamales, soda and a small patio in the back if you want to eat it there.“

“Guillermo was our terrific waiter/server.😉 Thanks, Guillermo!“

“La birria está muy rica ...!!! (chivo) RECOMENDADO!!!“

“I've going here since the early 90s and it tastes exactly the same as it did 30 years ago.....delicious! At many Mexican food places you always end up picking large pieces of fat or gristle from the carne asada, but never at Casitas! The charbroiled taste of the meat really sets them apart from other taco joints. The burrito ranchero plate can feed two, and the serve yourself salsa bar is always on point. The cashiers are always so damn nice too! I hope they're open forever!“

“las redes sociales tienen un potencial enorme...quise venir a disfrutar quizas parte de comida tijuanense...es una lastima que empleadas como esta echen a perder todo...pedí 3 tacos y una coca...y no me puso la coca en la orden...me hizo esperar el tiempo que quiso para darme mi cambio...mientras esperaba vi como le hizo mal otra orden a un señor con discapacidades...y argumentaba que no podía cambiar la orden hasta que viniera un manager...y no somos perfectos..lo se..pero la actitud es muy importante...al estar apoyando al sr en silla de ruedas...ella volteo hacia a mi y me dijo que no me metiera donde no me llaman..total..me voy decepcionado“

“Authentic Mexican food. Best Magaritas along with good music and service“

“I arrived at this restaurant because I saw that they serve Peruvian food, however I tried their carnitas burrito and fish taco, It was delicious, I look forward to try their Peruvian food in the future, friendly people, bendiciones y gracias“

“Great food and great service ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I've lived in the SCV since 1987, and while there's no shortage of Mexican restaurants here, Lorena D's stands out! Whether it's the tacos, tamales, taquitos, burritos, or tostadas (and yes, we've had them all), everything is consistently fresh and delicious. Their carnitas is the best in the SCV: so tender and flavorful. The staff, led by the lovely Lorena, is always so welcoming, friendly and efficient. We love supporting this exceptional woman-owned business, truly serving the best Mexican food in the region.“

“Muy rica comida excelente servicio, muy amables todos 🥰“

“One of the best places to get tacos in the Eagle rock area. Friendly people who are not bothered by this white girl mis-pronouncing my order 😂
You stand in line, order, then pick up your order at the window. Only issue is there's no parking...you park like a block away, if you're lucky. Sometimes I drop.my son off to get the food while I circle the block a few times. They do not have a parking lot.“

“Had a very tasty lunch here. I tried the breakfast burrito and my wife had a bowl, which proved to be a generous and well -crafted salad with plenty of chicken and was enough to share.

My only note on the breakfast burrito --and this applies to 80% of the breakfast burritos in the general area -- go easy on the potatoes and throw in some more eggs and beans.

Still, it was yummy. I ate half on site and helped my wife finish her bowl and had the rest for breakfast the next day.

I plan to be back to try more of the menu. Fresh ingredients, good portion size, reasonable prices. Oh, and a few happy hour specials 7 days a week.

Comfy seating, really friendly staff. Easy parking in their lot.

I might become a regular, since I'm up that way once or twice a month.“

“It was date-nite for my wife and I, so we decided to try a new place. We stopped at Candilejas to give it a try, and we were pleasantly surprised. You wouldn't give the building much importance from the outside, and it's sort of in a funny area for a restaurant. When I entered, I got the family-owned restaurant vibe...small, simple, spartan. The server that helped us was very polite and explained some of the dishes we had questions about. In the end, we ended up getting the "Torre" and the Ceviche de camarones", they were both awesome, super tender, and fresh-tasting. We had to leave early to pick up my son so we didn't finish the "Torre". You should definitely try this place if you like mariscos! (Seafood)

Parking: Free parking not too busy

Wheelchair accessibility: My only complaint would be that it is NOT accessible with a wheelchair, there is a ramp for wheelchairs and a parking spot for the disabled but the door literally obstructs access from the ramp, my wife needed to stand up and walk a few steps to get passed the door, but not everyone can do that. The other option would be to have somebody haul you up the steps, and that too can not be performed by everyone. This problem could easily be solved by making the door swing towards the inside instead of opening outwards.“

“Delicioso y cocina casera 😋“

“muy Rica la comida y los precios muy Económicos sobre todo su cervicio⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“We have been going to Don Cuco’s for many many years!!! Family celebrations are always fun & tasty !!“

“The food is good and the portions are quite large, but my only concern is that the cashiers need to make sure they’re asking the customer if they want salsa. I know it comes with some pickled vegetables, but I wanted salsa for my burrito and I didn’t get any so when I got home, I needed to add some and I didn’t even have any at home so just a little bit more better communication is what I’m noticing always make sure that the customer has an option of red or green salsa to enhance their entrée that they’re great and I will go back“

“Great for meal prep ideas, healthy options and home style authentic Mexican food for sure.“

“I recommend this place it has delicious food and the chef cook’s your food fast and you won’t regret it!! A must try!!“

“We've been eating here for years... always great food... with a casual warm inviting atmosphere“

“Ricas enchiladas la birria y por supuesto los huchepos 👌👌👌“

“Enjoyed chili Colorado rice and beans with their delicious lemonade. Was craving this for some reason. Sauce is delicious, meat is good, it could use a little less fat on it otherwise I always come back. The server was very nice, I liked that.“

“👍 good food and nice people“

“Ordered the California chicken taco and Santa Fe Burrito with beans. Both were very tasty, good sized portions and came with tortilla chips and a GREAT salsa bar. Which were amazing btw. Try the roasted tomato salsa, my fav, and the gracamole salsa.“

“The Queso Tacos and San Marcos Style Tacos Dorados, with consome, are hands down the real deal. So delicious! The Cucumber Agua Fresca was the perfect compliment drink. Best in the Valley.“
