20 Best Mexican Restaurants in Monrovia

“If you have not had the chance to dine in at Girasol, I highly recommend it. The chicharon with guac is a must as a starter, make sure you get some of the spicy sauce. As for a recommendation for a meal, well you have to come in and try. We loved the chilaquiles, the carne en su juego, the menudo, and the breakfast burrito. If you have a sweeter taste, the French toast, the pancakes and the crepe are awesome. But as mentioned before, you just have to come in and try everything.“

“Deliciousness! Very good portion and reasonable price! Staffs are nice!“

“Great tacos of all kind & affordable. Fish tacos, potatoe tacos, carne asada tacos, & more Mexican dishes. It's a small place with only a few tables. But it's mainly a take home food place. They have special either Wednesdays or Thursday & it's 2 for one. They select which tacos will be on special. Customer service has always been kind friendly people.“

“Quick and friendly service! Every bite of food was like the first! Wonderful Cadilllac Margarita!“

“So happy I found this place. Food is amazing“

“The Heart of Monrovia
​If you are looking for more than just a meal, this spot is a local gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is incredibly warm; the staff truly treats everyone like family. You aren’t just a customer here—you’re a guest in their home.
​The service is attentive without being overbearing, and the genuine smiles make every dish taste even better. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, the hospitality remains consistent and heartfelt. It is the perfect place for a comforting, authentic dinner.“

“My family and I love Casa J, sometimes its twice a week, love the Molcajete and Fish Tacos are so good! Staff is friendly and they pretty much know my drinks and how I like them! Thanks Casa Jimenez for the good food and cold beer!!!“

“I've been a fan of their Burrito Ultimo for over two decades. It is the same high quality and great taste it was in 2004 when I frequented the Baja Fresh near my then workplace. I retired a few years ago and visit a different Baja Fresh that is near a business I go to every few months...the taste hasn't changed in all that time. Love the salsa bar and freshly sliced jalapenos.“

“Very comfortable place to be in. Everyone was relaxed and you could hear the staff in the kitchen communicating getting the orders out. They have good lighting, a larger modern menu board with a great selection. They had light hearted music playing and a big tv to watch the Dodger games. I was surprised to see Birria on the menu so had to get that for sure! I think I will may this my goto spot a couple days a week so I can eat better for less and no dishes to wash.“

“Ever since I tried their curry plate, this place has been my go-to—it's honestly delicious! I haven't tried anything else yet, but the staff is always kind and the service is super fast. My only minor complaint is that they recently changed their containers, so it feels like a bit less food, but honestly, can you blame them in this economy?“

“We came to try this place on a Friday, craving mariscos. Super loud. It’s definitely not a place to bring your family to have a peaceful dinner. I ordered a mixta tostada and the fish was too chunky. They also added ketchup on it! The tostada was not good. Shrimp was fresh! We will not be coming back.“

“My new fav! Soooo yummers! Can't wait to go back for more!“

“Love this taco truck! Staff is very friendly. Food is delicious. They're posted everyday except mondays :/ open till late. Salsas are delicious, rice is good. Tacos, quesadillas, hot dogs, carne asada nachos and fries. Flautitas are my favorite.“

“Super delicious amazing food and service is great“

“This is a great local spot to get good Mexican food at a good price. I often get a carne asada burrito or fish tacos, but I have had so many things on their menu, and they are all excellent! The are quick in making the food, and they are my go-to place! I get take-away, but they do have a couple tables outside if you want to eat it there.“

“Loved The Food just Charge Way To Much
Can't No Longer go as often!!!
Service is Fast, but
Some Times I believe they gave Me The Wrong Tacos They Were Not The Supreme even though they Charge Me Same Amount as
Supreme Tacos!!!“

“It's the the best Mexican food that l ever taste.“

“This is a Very hit or misplaced. But most of the time they miss! It seems things are getting cheaper and cheaper, especially their taco shells! You barely lift the taco when it falls to pieces! In this case, I didn’t have to do either when I opened the bag. This is how it looked.! I’ve just decided that I can’t go there anymore because the people just don’t seem to care about anything especially the food. You order something and most of the time you don’t get what you ordered you get something different or just plain wrong! Whenever I think it’s time to take a break from cooking, I give them a chance, but I can’t do it anymore. The food is just lousy and the service is not that great. Maybe during the day it’s a different story but at night it’s a nightmare! When you see them, it’s like let’s hurry and make the food and get the customer out of here so that we don’t have to deal with them. Anyway, anyone that goes there the best of luck I hope you’re the best but I’m just warning you right off!“
