11 Best Mexican Restaurants in Manhattan Beach

“Beautiful little restaraunt by Manhattan Beach Pier. I’m there every year end of Aug.“

“We thought this was just another boring Mexican restaurant — WRONG!! We thought the food was going to be average, or worse, underwhelming… once again WRONG.

I might need to raise my criteria for 5 stars, because this place checked all the boxes and then some.

Our waitress was attentive, bubbly, and very knowledgeable, which makes an average meal way more appealing… but in this case, the food needed no help. The items we selected were exquisite, tantalizing, and just downright 🔥!

Simple Breakdown of Meal:
• Chips and guac with the mushroom choriqueso, that's a 5-star treat in itself.
• Pulpo al Pastor (octopus)… my wife said it's 🔥🔥… I wasn't brave enough to try it, but it looked amazing for the 'gram.
• Tacos de Pescado: exquisite and magnifique (I'm sure I butchered that word… but you get the drift).

And to wrap it up and put a bow on it, the atmosphere and artwork bring the whole experience together beautifully.

I've never been so excited to be wrong about a Mexican restaurant.“

“The friendliest cafe in Manhattan Beach“

“Incredible Mexican food with fantastic fast service. It may not look like much when you see it, but this little restaurant will serve you some of the best Mexican food you have ever tried. Everything is prepared on site and prepared fast. There is counter seats for about a dozen people inside and picnic tables above for seating. You can see from my picture that I loved the meal. I had a tostada and my wife had enchiladas. Both were great! Highly recommend if you are in Manhattan Beach.“

“It's a nice place. The food is good. Not the best. But their service is amazing and the ambiance is cool. It feels like you're in a Spanish hacienda“

“Good old school hot plate Mexican food. Good crunchy tacos 🤗“

“We stopped in hoping for a good, quick bite between Redondo beach and our Airbnb in Culver City and this was just right. The portions are big and everything we tried was delicious. The chips and salsa were perfect! I had the grilled mahi mahi tacos and my husband ate the carne asada. Our kids enjoyed their cheese quesadilla, cheese enchiladas and Shirley Temples. Our waitress was friendly and our food came out quick. The house margarita was also just like I like them, not too strong and not too sour. Great place for good food and quality service. The parking lot is small and shared with Baskin Robbin’s but since we were there in off peak time we were able to park in the lot.“

“They have the same set up as Chipotle. They do have a bigger selection which is nice, as well as daily specials. The food was good. Most of the staff was nice. Although they were trying to work together, their service line wasn't smooth because they were kind of bumbling over one another. They are less expensive, and I would return.“

“Best carnitas tacos anywhere!! So juicy and guac on top? The best. Used to go there all the time she I lived in Hawthorne. Everything is good!!“

“Was in the neighborhood and decided to stop for dinner my husband and I both had the double chicken tostada salad. The food was very good and fresh. The workers were all very nice and helpful. The place was nice and clean even the restroom was very clean.“
