25 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Maywood

“Wow! So glad we found this wonderful and authentic Mexican restaurant right by my hubby's work place while traveling to southern California so we do not have to fight through the 35 minutes driving 5 miles in downtown LA traffic! 😅

Their chip & salsa, first of all, was simply amazing and different! We tried their signature dish Pollo con Rajas Con Crema and the Steak Fajitas and they were beautifully plated and so tasty! You could tell the dishes are of great ingredients with simple seasoning to not take away from the freshness.

They then recommended Guayabate with Ice Cream for dessert plus sharing with us how this is a very authentic dessert from Mexico but as eaten with shaved ice. They modified now with French Vanilla Ice cream as the base and the fusion culinary creation is just the best! 😋

It was combined with the Mexican Coffee - Cafe de Olla which is a little bit sweeten but with a very strong and well balanced taste that's very different than your regular American standard coffee!

We enjoy everything we had here including our server who is very knowledgeable and hospitable. When we visit LA next time, we will definitely try to come again!“

“The best Mexican food in maywood .. great service ..got to try green wet burritos are 🔥“

“today I got a tres leches cake for my wife and instead of it saying Happy Birthday Irma instead it says Happy Birthday Grandma lol a honest mistake but I sure had a laugh when wife opened the box 😜🤪🥳 women and age's they'll lie to the grave on how old they are“

“We first found Big Al's Pizzeria on IG. All of their pizzas caught our eye because of the unique flavors that they serve. We know that often times when you see something on IG and go experience a place in person it may not be as expected. That was NOT the case with Big Al's Pizzeria. WOW!! Can't even tell you how much they exceeded our expectations when it came to the flavors and textures that they deliver. You can tell that they use High Quality, Fresh Ingredients and take pride in their creations, especially with everything being homemade!! I know a lot of people say that it takes a while to receive their pizza but we can tell you IT IS WORTH THE WAIT AND CALORIES!! The combinations on their pizzas are next level and so fun and unique! The pizza dough has the perfect fluffiness, chewy texture and flavor. The wings WOW! Definitely in our top 5 of favorites! So crispy and flavorful! OOh plus the Brisket Sandwich and the bread they use... ufffff!!! Don't forget about Dessert! Even if you fill up on pizza you better at least take a slice home with you because IT IS WORTH IT!! They are large, creamy, flavorful and just AMAZEBALLS! We got the Tiramisu and it was NEXT LEVEL! Everything is OUT OF THIS WORLD and we can't recommend them enough!“

My visit was truly highlighted by the Shrimp Cocktail (Cóctel de Camarón), and I can say without a doubt that it was delicious!

“I've been leaving in Maywood before this King Taco Location OPEN their doors .. But recently two employees try to criticize my way of speaking my Spanish .. It was a dark skin Mexican male on window 5 and a short light skin heavy set female in window 3.. Till now don't know what the problem was I was just asking for red sauce and they start hating.. And I hear the male speaking his horrible broken up ENGLISH accent and guess what I DONT care neither I made him feel bad.. There's No need to act or be stupid. People like them shouldn't even have had the opportunity to come to this beautiful country.“
