Small, family-run Mexican spot with delicious chilaquiles. The vibe is cozy and unpretentious. Service is friendly, and you get your food quickly. Parking can be tricky in the area, but it’s worth it. A local breakfast favorite

La Abeja is a charming Mexican restaurant offering traditional cuisine in a cozy setting. The authentic dishes and friendly service create a welcoming atmosphere. However, some patrons have noted smaller portions for the price and longer wait times during busier hours.

This is a hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. Family owned, and it's a landmark in Highland Park.
I love coming here every once in a while for their chiles, flautas and other mexican breakfasts.
Parking can be a problem, and please note that this place only serves breakfasts and lunches
The portions are generous. The taste and quality are great. It’s a no frills joint with 50 years of history and pride in being a local institution. I will be a regular!

The staff is friendly, quick and efficient. The beans and rice are delicious. I got carnitas this time and while they are flavorful, they're served in chunks with too much fat. This will not stop me from going back, the food is great! I usually get Chile Verde which is amazing!

Honestly, for being mexican food, it lacked flavor. Their menudo lacked flavor. The steak in the burrito my son got was tough, like beef jerky almost. Their spanish rice is plain, but the frijoles are good. Street parking is available only from what I saw. We probably won't be returning.

They finally accept card! Lol ? Always a great meal in the neighborhood. My recommendations are the hard shell tacos, chili relleno burrito, and always carnitas.

We ordered the Enchiladas Verdes plate with a side of potatoes and flour tortillas. It was delicious. The staff was so friendly and attentive. They even set us up with a table outside since we had our furry friend. Thank you Frank, Hector, Jesse and Roy. We will definitely be coming back. ❤️
One of the best Mexican restaurants in LA. Family run with love. Legendary Chile Relleno's, Carnitas. Huevos Rancheros, Home made Frijoles Champurrado and the best salva verde in town.

This place is your classic hole in the wall Mexican restaurant that is unbelievably delicious. The green enchilada sauce was the star of the show followed by the beans. Some of the best in LA.
Amazing food, super nice staff!
