28 Best Mexican Restaurants in Pacoima

“I like this stand very much and that's what it is stand. But the business is right behind it making hundreds of tamales. They have a good variety that are well stuffed. Not like some of the street vendors that you don't know which ones are the ones with mostly maza very lil meat. Besides that they're pretty big very moist with salsa included. Red or green depending on your hot tolerance. Hmmm good imma go get me some!!!!“

“Ricas enchiladas la birria y por supuesto los huchepos 👌👌👌“

“By hand, from scratch, hot and delicious and you're not breaking your budget, the best kept secret of the San Fernando Valley. Thank the maker they don't have a website, it's busy enough.“

“A hidden gem in the heart of San Fernando!

Maria Restaurant / Restaurant Maria is truly a great hidden jewel in the center of San Fernando, California. The Mexican food is delicious, and the customer service is excellent!
I ordered the Chicharrón en salsa verde (pork in green salsa) — absolutely mouthwatering. My mom had the famous Menudo, and she loved it. Everything came with large, soft handmade corn tortillas — fresh and perfect with every bite. We also enjoyed their Café de Olla — I couldn’t resist having two and a half cups. Simplemente delicioso! ☕️
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and to top it off, there was live music from two well-dressed golden-age gentlemen singing and playing their guitars — such a lovely touch.
A big THANK YOU to Rafa and Adan for their outstanding and friendly service. We’ll definitely be back soon❣️“

“great food. great service!“

“Muy rica la comida y rapidez para atender“

“Omg love the food at this spot! I ordered a mojara and tacos de lengua Friday April 11 around 8pm, dude hooked it up too. The meat is fresh and the price is decent. The food reminded me of the good old times when my RIP dad used to take me to Mejicali to eat from the outside food vendors.“

“Muy buena atención y muy rica la comida 😋“

Imagine your grandma opening up a restaurant and has been working for 52 years! This place would be it. Great traditional Mexican food. Everything is made fresh. tortillas made on the spot you can hear the masa getting its flat form. Did have to wait but food is definitely worth it. Has some parking in the back. Highly recommend!!
ESP= Si quieres comida mexicana o tienes cruda ven a comer aquie el menudo es el mejor!!!“

“Dank. I got a juicy carne asada burrito, and my friend asked the chef for quesabirria tacos (even though they weren’t on the menu). The chef hooked her up anyway, which was super nice - and a total testament to how fire this place’s food is. Great authentic Mexican gem in the area.“

“This place absolutely slaps. I wasn't able to communicate well because my Spanish is bad but the lady behind the counter was very patient. This birria is absolutely incredible, the meat is moist and the tortillas were so soft!!! Extremely flavorful and the Red sauce has just the right amount of heat. This place will definitely be a regular haunt. Highly recommend!!! ??“

“I arrive at this outstanding place from time to time since I like the special atmosphere that is outline this place. The personel is extremely helpful and skilfull. The service is certainly quick.

“excelente atención rica comida 😋“

“After years of passing by, I finally stopped there on a Tuesday. Enjoyed a carne asada burrito. The following week I had a couple of tacos. I enjoyed those as well. Their red salsa is tasty. Service was quick considering the line. The personnel were very friendly and professional. Only minus? The outside needs a good pressure washing. Keeping a clean exterior would show customers both appreciation and respect.“

“Pollos 🐓 al 1000 reconmedados“

“de lo mejor pacoima,vengan a casa Jalisco restaurant, muy buen servicio“

“Love the food here. They have consistently made delicious food at a reasonable price. Portions are also good for the price. I also love coming here during the winter for their champurrado, a must-try! Employees are always friendly and quick to help.“

“Absolutely amazing! The food here is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared—every dish tasted like it was made with real care.

“todo muy delicioso y buen servicio👍“

“Got a scrambled eggs burrito with avocado. Very tasty, even though a couple people working there were surprised it was on the menu. The sign out front said they had champurrado (similar to hot chocolate), but they didn’t actually. The burrito was the perfect vegetarian option, the beans were whole, which indicates no lard was used. I loved watching and smelling the corn tortillas being made in the main seating area, it seams like a popular spot for handmade tortillas. The restaurant and bathroom was very clean And tidy. Overall a positive experience. I recommend speaking in Spanish.“

“Super deliciosos, los mejores tacos estilo D.F en Los Ángeles, CA sus salsas exquisitas“

“WOW! I was getting a little impatient while waiting for my order, because it was “just a food truck”. But when the food was ready, the care with which they prepared it was evident. We had shrimp tacos, marlin plate, and ceviche. Everything was excellent! My wife said the best shrimp tacos she’s ever had. This quality food could easily be served in a higher-end restaurant.“

“This place is my number 1 when it comes to Mexican food because the meats are juicy and delicious and the tortillas echo a mano give it an authentic taste!!! Me and my daughter and my husband always go there for the bomb TACOS nothing could compare to this place just great!!! ? ???“
