33 Best Mexican Restaurants in Pacoima

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

“These are without question the best Tamales I have ever had. If you have not had them, you have not lived. If you have had them, then I consider you my brother (or sista) and would die alongside you in battle against anyone who claims they know where another tamale spot is.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Muy buena atención y muy rica la comida 😋“

“Service was Excellent!
Arrived early around 9:10 am. Plenty of seating inside. They welcomed us and sat us down right away.
The ladies were so happy to be there with a smile on their face. It was nice listening to some romantic music 🎶
Esbe took our order, she was super attentive and friendly. My husband and I ordered the Menudo rojo/red that included pata and hominy. It was very delicious where you can adjust to your taste by adding onion, cilantro, oregano, chile de Arbol and salt if needed. They have 2 options a small or large. The large was so filing, I could barely finish it. The freshly made corn tortillas were so good, took the rest home!
My cafe de olla was perfect in flavor, you can adjust to your taste, by adding half and half or any more sugar.
I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu especially the chilaquiles and the rest of the drinks!“

“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)“

“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.“

“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!!! ??“

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

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

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

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

“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!!! ? ???“

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

“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.“

“Pollos 🐓 al 1000 reconmedados“

“Tacos El Gordo is always a great stop. The place has a cool vibe with giant Mexican Lotería cards on the walls. Looks way different from when I first came as a little kid. The staff is incredibly friendly. What really stood out about the staff was seeing them offer to walk a handicapped couple out while carrying their to-go food. Small gesture, but it says a lot.

The food is delicious, portions are generous for the price. What keeps me coming back every time is the guacamole sauce. Very addictive!“

“A huge thank you to the staff for their outstanding customer service. I came in needing assistance with a personal matter, and they went above and beyond to help me. They made time to assist me right away making my stressful situation much easier.
Thanks again for everything :)“

“Love the food, 😋 service 👍👍 coffee well it can do a little work on it, sometimes it's too strong sometimes it doesn't taste very well maybe it's the filter maybe it's the water not too sure other than that everything is absolutely great 😋👍“

“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.“

“the prices aren't are not that expensive they got some good food here and good staff“

“i eat here twice a week at least, i’m hooked on the street tacos & street corn 🤩 customer service is always great as well“

“todo muy delicioso y buen servicio👍“

“My wife and I came here tonight to grab dinner. My wife wanted their pozole carne because she had it before years ago. Since she was ordering for me, I looked at their menu and wanted to try their asasa burrito. She placed her order over the phone before we headed out to pick it up.

This restaurant is in a small plaza with limited parking so be aware. We were lucky that there were parking in front of the restaurant. When we walked inside, it took awhile for someone to help us. They mostly speak Spanish here so be aware, my wife speaks Spanish so it was fine for us. They also take cash or credit card.

When we got home, the food was packaged alright but there was a little leak. My wife thought her Pozole carne was good. I didn't really like my burrito. I asked for it to be without beans so it was just rice and asada. There no pico de gallo and their red sauce wasn't my favorite. I only ate one half of my burrito.“

“excelente atención rica comida 😋“

“Clean Restaurant, friendly crew and great food.“

“They are just the best👩🏼‍🍳 not even Carrillo’s tamales come close 😁 I tell all my relatives, from Palmdale Lancaster,😁“
