50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Los Angeles

“One of the most amazing meals I’ve had.“

“We got some problem with our food and they handled it extremely well, showing true professionalism and dedication of their services. Def will recommend to others“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“Conrad the owner knows what he is doing here. He deserves ⭐. I hope he gets one day.
Food is top tier and his choice to bring the food to you and in order so you get perfect temperature is subtle and appreciated.

Made to order tortillas should be the standard.

I'm just upset I didn't find this place sooner and it was so good. I almost forgot to take a pic of the tacos 🌮“

“All the food was outstanding. The raw fish and seafood was unbelievably fresh and aptly paired with elevated fresh flavors. The tostadas reminded me of Contramar in Cdmx, but even better (dare i say).

The atmosphere is beautiful, has a massive garden space, scattered lighting, copious succulents. It feels like an escape right in LA. The service is warm, personable, efficient.

Definitely worth the trip and such a great find.“

“Delicious and healthy food!“

“best food and customer service 🥰“

“Just tried MIRATE Restaurant the food was amazing! Definitely worth checking out if you love great flavors.“

“What's better late night snack than Ave 26 tacos? It's located in a parking lot, and we pulled in around 10pm on a Sunday night. People from all colors and all walks of life seem to converge here in search of scrumptious bites. There's a security guard that patrols the area so you could enjoy your chow without hesitation. It's standing room only, no utensils or sitting area provided. We decided to eat in the car as it's a bit chilly that night. There's also a portable water station to wash hands before or after you dig in.

There's a separate line for tacos or burritos or drinks, pay in cash or Apple/ Samsung Pay. Simple and orderly. Then, head over to the condiments section for different types of salsa, chopped onions or lime. The Al Pastor, Carne Asada, Cabeza and Lengua are usually my go to, but there're also brisket, pork belly, chorizo to choose from.“

“Exquisito todo y el servicio excelente yo si regreso“

“We had a great experience at this bar! Even though we arrived late, Dustin, was incredibly warm and welcoming, which immediately set the tone for the night. Our servers, Juan and Robert, were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The service never felt rushed, and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. You can really tell they care about their guests. We’ll definitely be back!“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Definitely Coming Back, Thank You For The Great Food, Hospitality, and Serving Chef Ismael💥“

“Excellent service great ambience ‘ they also have the amazing tequila card with a variety of tequilas . P“

“Buenísimos las mejores carnitas“

““OMG, my sister recommended this restaurant as I picked her up from LAX, the food was authentic real Mexican food, beyond exquisite. The place gave me vibes of a fondita in Mexico, which I loved. The portions are perfect, the handmade tortillas were fire!! The quesadillas, beans and beef, chicharron guisado where delicious!!! Please try their pumpkin horchata!! The staff are so friendly too. I spent $40 on my sister and I. Well worth it!!!“

“The best tacos in California!“

“Had the bacon breakfast burrito. It was off the charts delicious. The burrito was all about quality. First, Im almost certain the tortilla was freshly made. It was light biting through warm butter soft and tender not doughy. Then there was this gentle crispness from the bacon and potatoes. Absolute culinary perfection. I will be coming here often. Its a small but quant and comfortable restaurant with plenty of seating inside and outside. They also have clean and comfortable restroom“

“El gran sabor de las tortas de Neza en Los Ángeles ca.“

“This was our very first stop in Los Angeles, and honestly, Benny’s Tacos set the bar impossibly high for everything that came after.

The bowl was absolutely surreal, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly put together. But the real showstopper was the burrito. I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s the best burrito I’ve ever had in my life. The combination of pinto beans and carne asada was pure perfection, smoky, tender meat with creamy beans wrapped in every bite. The kind of thing you think about long after you’ve left.

If you’re landing in LA and don’t know where to start, start here. You won’t regret it.“

“I'm here just about every other weekend to get takeout for the family. The Indian flavors really come through in an exciting way. The rotisserie chicken is one of the best I've found in LA, and it's not even the best chicken on the menu. Anything with beans are a must-have.“

“the prices aren't are not that expensive they got some good food here and good staff“

“Food & service is always amazing! I left my wallet there & the staff helped me retrieve it when they were closed! They went above & beyond to help me -“

“An organization I’m a part of was looking for a place to gather afterwards. I reached out to multiple locations, Ian was the most responsive and excited to host us. He was accommodating to our group of ~30 people. He and the staff were so friendly and took care of orders quickly. Will definitely be back for dinner and drinks!“

“The food was on another level, super fresh local ingredients, family recipes made with recognition of the past and an eye towards the future. The vibe in the restaurant is top-notch and the neighborhood is so chill and beautiful. Sat outside and met so many friendly people on the street, and the staff was really gracious. The butternut squash chorizo brussels sprout with preserved lemon dish was banging, enchiladas mole poblano and Chilaquiles with christmas sauce and pecan flan were all so good“

“We went there with my family and had an amazing experience. The service was outstanding! We told the woman who was taking care of us that we had traveled all the way from Chile just to eat there, and she brought us so many extra dishes on top of what we ordered so we could try and enjoy real Mexican food. We loved everything. We will definitely come back someday!“

“This is a great example of how LA street mexican food culture is like.

This place has one of the best pastor tacos in LA. Their meats are well seasoned and are not dry. Their salsas have great flavor and heat.

The lines can be long but it is worth the wait. You just can't beat this place when it comes to taste, quality, and price.“

“Had a beautiful bridal shower for 24 persons in their outdoor patio. Staff was friendly, welcoming and attentive; food was delicious and served up in generous-sized portions.“

“Me gusta la comida pero no tienen q perder el cuidado en la presentación de los platos y asegurarse q lleven todo eso es muy importante aun tengan mucha junte haser los platos con la misma cuidado de ciempre“

“I had the cochinita pibil and poc choc and they had incredible flavor! The toughest part about this eating area is that all of the restaurants here are very tasty, but that being said I Super recommend Chichén Itza. I would definitely come back“

“Everything has been great that I’ve tried. Highly recommend“

“Best mezcal margarita I’ve had. You need to get the churros for dessert - eat them first before you regret not saving space for them!!! This place is very cool and laid back. Easy to order, quick service. Fish flautas were my favorite!“

“The best Mexican food in LA County!“

“We came in on January 1st and there was only one person sitting inside eating. We grabbed some menus and sat down and waited for a short while before someone came in from the back to take our order. Just one guy taking orders and in the kitchen, he was still able to get our food and the food for the few other people who came in after us out really quickly. The food was great, and the guy working was super nice. Come to find out towards the end of our meal that they were not actually open today. He’s there every day and his friend had come by so he let him in to eat and we just happened to get there when the door was unlocked. I (and I overheard the other patrons expressing the same sentiment) was very apologetic but he said it was fine, “I like it” he said. I still feel kind of bad about it but it was also kind of lovely, what a sweet heart.“

“Yo i just wanna say shout out this restaurant. I pulled up here crunk asab and my boy Andre hooked me up with literally the best food i’ve ever had like it was amazing. great atmosphere, portions, flavors, service, wow this place is just the best“

“Muy buenos taco’s deliciosos“

“atienden muy bien los meseros son muy serviciales todos y la manager pregunta si todo esta bien estan al pendiente en todo momento muy buen servicio“

“Food was great our server Dominique was great!“

“Perfect for these dog days of Summer.“

“BEST Mexican food EVER!!☆☆☆☆☆ It's Always great seeing Roy every time I walk in that door! I reminisce the mid 80's when I was first introduced to his establishment by a mutual friend. The atmosphere is great, the staff is awesome, the food is simple, consistent, and always tastes great! Honestly, I was Very upset when Roy said he was going to close after so many years... but I'm glad he changed his mind! :) L'Abeja truly is a gem to the community! Not only does your great food warm our bellies, but also our hearts!♡♡♡ Btw, I recommend everything on the menu!“

“The perfect stop right before or after a flight (or both). The birria and the soup are perfection. It feels so light without the heavy comatose food feeling. I’ve tried several things on the menu and they are all top notch! I can’t rave enough about this place. Best food truck in the LAX vicinity. The owners attention to detail and making sure that his guests are satisfied goes far beyond expectations. The food quality is amazing and it keeps me coming back.“
