13 Best Mexican Restaurants in San Gabriel

“One of my favorite go to for a quick breakfast. The people are nice. The food is great. A lot of Oaxacan options too. They are willing to make me breakfast tacos when I am craving them. Their breakfast burrito is delicious. And that red salsa is the one to go for.“

“I stopped by this taco truck after my usual taco stand wasn’t open—and I’m glad I gave it a try. I ordered the buche, carnitas, pastor, and cabeza tacos. The carnitas and cabeza were the best—juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right.

I also had the carne asada fries, which were hearty and satisfying. The guacamole in the carne asada fries is seriously addictive, and their salsa, along with the pickled jalapeños and red onions, added a fresh, tangy kick.

At $2.50 per taco, the prices are reasonable for the quality. I’ll definitely be coming back.

“Love the food, variety and service. Thank you Yesica“

“Well let’s say I going to compare other tacos to this one . So far top of my list ! I will definitely recommend eating here and maybe when you do invite me !“

“Got two asada, one chorizo, one pastor, and one tripa tacos. Asada was pretty good, so was the chorizo. I like my pastor a little saltier, but the pastor here was more on the sweeter side. The tripa had a slight bitter aftertaste, wouldn't really recommend if you aren't used to the taste. Overall it's alright for a good price and good amount of meat!“

“Finally tried this place out after driving past it for the nth time. They do $1.50 taco Tuesdays and is parked right next to the Starbucks off Duarte and Rosemead. A bit more difficult to get to if you're coming from east of the intersection due to the median island and no U turn restriction, but damn their food is worth the trouble. Their al pastor is very well seasoned and probably my favorite protein out of all the choices. Tacos come with grilled onions and a piece of potato, with thick cut cucumbers and slices of lime. Nachos are loaded with sauces and burritos are packed with flavors. They have 4 sauces, 2 red and 2 green. The thicker, opague looking ones are the spicier of the 4, while the clearer 2 are the less spicy ones.

Ever since my favorite taco truck at the vons plaza been swarmed with customers for the past couple months on Tuesdays, I've been looking for an alternative. And dare I say it, I think I've found it.“

“The Pozole was very good, but you don't have much say in what you get because they have the portions already premade. The chips were good and the soup was very yummy. Not the nicest place and parking isn't that great, but the service was excellent and the cook is really kind and likes to joke around, so you might get a dad joke.“

“Great tacos. I had 9 total. Asada and al pastor we’re the best. I loved the chicken and lengua as well. Will definitely stop by again next time I’m in the area“

“Rápido y muy buena la comida , y los precios muy al alcance ! Lo recomiendo“

“The best bakery in Los Angeles CA 😉 delicious 😋“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This Taco Bell in San Gabriel (right on the border before Rosemead) is hands down one of the best locations we’ve visited. The entire staff is so warm and welcoming — it truly feels like you’re visiting family every time you walk in.
Everyone is friendly, patient, and professional. They greet you with genuine kindness, and that makes such a difference. Even if there’s a wait, you don’t mind because they make you feel comfortable and valued.
The food is always fresh — and I mean always fresh. You can taste the quality and care in every order.
They also accept EBT, and the service is consistent and respectful for everyone. Five stars for customer service, freshness, and that welcoming, community vibe. We’ll definitely keep coming back!“
