22 Best Mexican Restaurants in Monrovia

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“This is an incredible place to grab tacos! We went here on taco Tuesday night and sampled a lot of different tacos throughout the evening. Great drinks and food! But what really stood out was the awesome service. There weren’t a lot of people working there, but all of them were hustling and making sure you are well taken care of. This is a great place to grab delicious tacos and drinks!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Okay, this is a new spot for my friends and I. Great place for a beer and some good food. I had the shrimp cocktail. The flavor is great! And had their Michelada! Delicious. Definitely going back! Great customer service 👏🏾“

“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.“

“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?“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Desde san francisco vine a probar este restaurant y lo recomiendo 100% toda mi familia de 9 personas se fueron enamoradas de Jesús fue el mesero un gran mesero. Muy buena calidad todo bien calientito, Erick fue el host muy amable parece el dueño se asegura que todo esté en orden nombre me fue enamora gracias @cafe de olla mil gracias“

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

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Ate here for breakfast and dinner. As a long time fan of Del Taco, I still miss the old Macho Bacon and Egg Burrito, but the regular egg burritos are still tasty. Double Del Cheeseburger (with extra onions) is still one of the best fast-food burgers out there, as are pretty much any of their burritos. I miss the old Spicy Jack Chicken Quesadilla, too, but the regular chicken quesadilla is okay. Carnitas items were back on the menu, too, which is a treat!Indoors, they were still following some Covid protocols, so access to the soda machine and all the salsa and ketchup packets was restricted here (June, 2023). Everything is clean and sparse.Outdoors, parking is usually sufficient, but the drive-thru efficiency is not consistent between visits, depending upon who's running the window. The property is easy to get into and out of, on a span of Huntington Dr. (Rte 66) between two freeway on/off ramps of the 210 Fwy that has a number of good fast food outlets available.

Parking: Parking is close to or right next to building, ramp access in curbs, handicapped parking close by.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor, one level. Wheelchair access but no powered doors. Some tables inside are able to accommodate a wheelchair. Outdoor tables also available.“
