50 Best Mexican Restaurants near San Marino

“What a peaceful and beautiful place! I went early around 7:30am and got myself a crunch A Latte and Chilaquiles. Both were sOOO good! The barista is a sweetheart! I didn’t feel rushed while I was looking at the Menu since it was my first time (Definitely not last!) that coffee woke me up! I love that they have outdoor seating.“

“One of the most amazing meals I’ve had.“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“I live in Frogtown and I had been wanting to go to Loreto forever and it succeeded my expectations. The ambience was amazing. The food was delicious. The service was excellent. Overall, it was a vibe it was worth the valet. It was worth the money and we had the loveliest server ever. I wish I could spell her name, but she was divine and super informative, but yes, five stars across-the-board highly recommend except for you’re in my neighborhood and you’re stealing the parking. Lol Jk but not“

“this is, hands down, some of the most interesting and delicious fusion food you’ll try. Anything they put together is thoughtful, layered and full of nuance. get the sauce sampler packs; and try everything on the menu; but the birria is to die for.

It’s so affordable, too; honestly if I could eat here every day, I would.“

“Absolutely loved this place. We will definitely be coming back. We got Citrus Salad, Carne en su Jugo & Carnitas Wow, just Wow!!!!!“

“Came here for the 1st time after years of driving by. We got the sampler knowing it was small tacos, but assorted fillings, which is perfect. Also, we ordered a pork tamale, ceviche tostada, cochinita taco, and chile relleno burrito, all items were on their cute chalk board, no prices though.
Everything we tried was delicious and fresh, some of the tacos didn't need salsa, but highly recommend you get all of them. The ceviche tostada was a refreshing bite after those spicy tacos, I almost ordered another, but had to try the rest. The tamale was crumbly(?) dough like we prefer and the chile relleno was also good in comparing it to other restaurants around there, but not as hearty as at a burrito place.
We will be returning to try other items and more ceviche tostadas.
Parking is hard to find in the area when street sweep passes, but there's a public lot a block away you might find parking or bus it.“

“Delicious and fast tacos. The restaurant knows what they are doing. The lines moved so fast and I got me food within 5 minutes. They have complementary potatoes which is awesome since they help with the spicy of the spicy salsas. They also have a self serve salsa and topping bar which is my favorite so I can generously garnish and drench my tacos in salsas. We realized this was a really popular spot in this area because it was already 12 am and this place was still really packed. Really delicious and authentic tacos, will definitely come back again.“

“The best tacos in California!“

“Wanted some taco and found this place on the maps with so many good reviews. Had to check it out and I’m so glad I did. The service was very quick. I love cinnamony coffee and their horchata with cold brew was just a perfection. Their homemade tortillas are definitely something that you need to try this place for. Every ingredient tasted fresh, delicious, made us happy.“

“Este lugar se siente como comer en casa — warm, welcoming, and full of flavor. I ordered the taquitos and two quesabirria tacos, and both were incredible. My fiancé got the chilaquiles with beans, eggs, and steak and he was in heaven from the first bite. And the café de olla? Perfectly sweet, perfectly spiced — honestly the ideal way to start the morning. The whole experience felt so homey and personal, like someone’s abuelita is back there cooking with love. A couple of things to know before you go: it’s cash only and street parking, so come prepared. But trust me, it is completely worth it. ¡Muy recomendado! 🫶🇲🇽“

“BEST Mexican food EVER!!☆☆☆☆☆ It's Always great seeing Roy every time I walk in that door! I reminisce the mid 80's when I was first introduced to his establishment by a mutual friend. The atmosphere is great, the staff is awesome, the food is simple, consistent, and always tastes great! Honestly, I was Very upset when Roy said he was going to close after so many years... but I'm glad he changed his mind! :) L'Abeja truly is a gem to the community! Not only does your great food warm our bellies, but also our hearts!♡♡♡ Btw, I recommend everything on the menu!“

Don't need to look no further!When your hungry stop by at Yeya's for the best Mole,Chilaquiles,Enchiladas,Tacos and Caldos in all Boyle Heights and East L.A.Yeya's has a large options of food and caldos...“

“Fantastic! I randomly found this place while craving Lebanese food. While it’s not exactly that, I was intrigued by their “where Mexican meets Mediterranean” concept and stopped in. They told me their Mediterranean side is inspired by Lebanese and Syrian cuisine, and I was sold.

I got the chicken shawarma plate. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the rice was great, and I went with the baba ghanoush after they recommended it. It was so good. If you’ve never loved baba ghanoush because the eggplant is overpowering, their version is perfect for you since all the flavors are balanced nicely. The Mexican influence complements it beautifully.

The young woman who took my order told me her mother is the chef, and she made my meal. I’m officially one of her biggest fans and can’t wait to come back and try more. Delicious!

Please support this small, actuallyyy family-owned business. I’d be genuinely devastated if they ever closed. It may not have been the traditional Lebanese meal I originally came for, but bringing Mexican flavors into the mix is a brilliant idea and I’m for it. Yum!“

“Best shrimp tacos in the world, by far. Have them with the grilled chiles.“

The parking is very limited (street parking)..I tend to double park, but bc the food is quickly served, It isnt a problem. There is a couple of tables to eat there, which is nice. Highly recommend. The prices are also super reasonable.“

“Great food and service. Salsas were amazing.“

“This place is great! Celebrating over 50 years! Gotta try it!“

“Their steak and eggs are very tasty and a great price every time! Also suggested to the owner the last time I came to take away the sandbags by the front door because you should always think of your business as doing what appeals to the ladies! Because if you get the girls, you got the guys! He got it and today the sand bags are gone which is the first of a few simple suggestions that I have that together will make a disproportionate impact! Stay tuned.“

“A go-to small bar to watch any major event. I live down the street and this spot has cemented itself as a staple of the community for such events. Staff are friendly, 3 restrooms, plus separate stalls for men, the place is constantly being watched for empty beer bottles/trash. I've enjoyed my visits here ☺

The outdoor area is covered by a huge tree that gives plenty of shade. On top of that, the place isn't noisy unless it's a weekend night.“

“I had an amazing experience at LOQUI Playa Vista. The atmosphere was great, the food was delicious, and the whole place had such a welcoming vibe. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect.

It’s rare to find a place where the service, quality, and overall experience come together so well. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending LOQUI Playa Vista to others. Thank you for the great experience!“

“We found this place as an only option on a late night, and what a gem!

The owner is so friendly, and they have delicious salsa and pickled onions. You can tell they are made fresh every day. Everything is made with care and it shows. Also very affordable. This is our only spot for birria.“

“Encontremos la birrieria en Facebook, despues de pasar 2 dias en LA comiendo puras chingaderas por fin encontramos un lugar digno de llamar "mexicano" lugar pequeño pero con esa chispa mexicana, fotos y dibujos de cantinflas en las paredes y un olor a birria desde que entras! excelente trato de la señora y el sabor de la birria de Chivo y tacos de Cabeza fue excelente! he probado birria de Chivo en Guadalajara y esta no le pide nada a las 9 esquinas! 100% recomendada! tip.... lleguen temprano porque se llena, el estacionamiento es limitado asi que busquen estacionamiento en las calles aledañas.“

“We came to visit our daughter at CSU Dominguez Hills, and were looking for a spot to eat. We looked up some local spots and Guajillo popped up. We were not disappointed with the Chilaquiles! They were delicious and made to order. The food was plentiful and filling and reminded me of my mom's home cooking! Highly recommended!!!“
