28 Best Mexican Restaurants in Pacoima

“I buy their tamales at the Tuesday farmers market at CSUF. I find it insane that they have to drive an hour to get there... but I'm thankful because the tamales are super delicious. 6 Dollars per tamale, and they're a good size that can fill you up with only 1-2. The beef tamale is my favorite. It's a bit spicy, but the flavor is so good along with the outside. The outside bread (?) is my favorite part, somehow. It's very soft and somewhat moist.

I like to share some with my cousin after class. Even after sitting around for the whole day, it is so good and soft after a minute or two of mircowaving.

I've bought from their stall multiple times. It is very addicting! They also offer you salsa if you prefer that with your tamales.“

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

“good test 👌 good service“

“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.“

“great food. great service!“

“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❣️“

“real mexican food. good flavor. workers friendly.“

“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!!! ??“

“Oasis for vegetarians/vegans! In the dessert of Chiclana (where everything is fried) a simple place where the cook knows how to cook vegetables! I had ravioli with eggplant stuffing and fresh tomatoes on top, then caponata Siciliana and grilled vegetables. Everything was perfect! Nice people and good price! Thanks again, would love to come back!“

“This is a little, genuine location. only employs two persons. It was such a wonderful discovery. In particular, we were searching for menudo. They might choose between green and red. The tortillas were made by hand. Although the service is a touch slower, the wait is worthwhile. The michalada was enormous and delicious! There were no kid-friendly dishes available, but that didn't stop my son from enjoying the delicious tacos. There was lots of space to sit, which we adored. There is lots of street parking, although parking is scarce. I will definitely return.“

“Best tacos I’ve ever tasted. I got a shrimp one and steak one. My god! I wish I lived close by but I was only in the area for a day. I’ll be missing them and dreaming about the tacos until I return again. (Black BMW lady)“

“La mejor tienda de envios“

“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!!! ? ???“

“muy rica birria y tacos tortas y quesabirrias👌👌👅👍“

“Muy buena atención y muy rica la comida 😋“

“Pollos 🐓 al 1000 reconmedados“

“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.“

“Delicious food! I had the nachos with carnitas, excellent.“

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

“This restaurant is unquestionably one of the most attractive restaurants in the area. Always when I go there I am truly satisfied. They hold their very high standard service and the highest level of food they provide. You no doubt will love this restaurant. Warmly recommended.“

“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.“

“Clean Restaurant, friendly crew and great food.“

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