19 Best Mexican Restaurants in South El Monte

“I have been going for about 4 years really recommend delicious food 🥘 love it 🥰“

“The support from our community, friends, students and our friendly staff.“

“My first time here and I got the 3 taco plate with 2 fish tacos and a carne asada taco. The fish tacos has HUGE pieces of fish inside them and they were very very tasty! The carne asada taco was very delicious as well and a generous amount of meat. The little tajin seasoned better was very good too and I'm not a big fan of peppers like that. The beans and rice were you basic beans and rice. Nothing much to be said more about them. Overall I felt the price was fair considering how stuffed the tacos were. $18 for a 3 taco plate with drink. Would definitely stop again when I'm in the area.“

“Ima be honest and transparent as always this place atmosphere gave it a calm inviting environment. The service was given to us by the owner I would assume and she's also the cook. She was very patient attentive and very caring and helpful only downside is the wait was a little long, we were starving but still worth the wait. Without a question we will be back. Nacho fries were great chilaquiles on point my sister got a nopal and eggs she couldn't stop complimenting the food and she's picky. Flan delicious and the bistek ranchero was great wasn't prepared for the red sauce but gave it an extra kick and the pineapple agua Fresca highly recommend.“

“I met my friend here for lunch, and we had a great time! The staff was very welcoming and kind. I had the chicken enchiladas, and my friend had a burrito. We both loved our meals...so good. The speed of service was great, and the portions were generous (and very affordable). The atmosphere was calm and casual, not too crowded. I especially liked the salsa. It had a good flavor and heat, but no unpleasant afterburn. It was a delightful experience overall, and I would recommend giving it a try!“

“Nice little outdoor restaurant, with live music on weekends. The food is limited" but ok overall. I believe people come here more for the atmosphere, the music and have a drink to get distracted a while. Musicians are not all great all the time. And prices for food are a bit high fro what you get. The carnitas are good, not the best.... But they cut them up to finely, not as enjoyable. Staff is ok, they don't check up on you often, so try to order everything the first time or they do take long to come back around. Over all ok place.“

“My first visit here was a great experience! The cashier was friendly, which set a positive tone right away. The restaurant has TVs placed around the dining area, so customers can stay entertained while waiting for their food. I also loved that they let you pour your own condiments on the side, adding a nice personal touch. The food was ready in just 10 to 15 minutes, which was impressively quick. Overall, I highly recommend this place, especially their Super Fries—they’re a must-try!👍“

“It has been a while since my last visit, but I must commend the consistently high quality of your food. The street tacos, carne fries, and huaraches are not only delicious but also exceptionally appetizing. I highly recommend trying them to experience authentic Mexican cuisine.

Service is friendly!! 💜“

“Excelente atención y ricos tacos de barbacoa“

“the best food ever especially the menudo and best of all the michiladas. they are the Best....“

“So I seen a lot of bad comments on there Yelp!! Like really?? THEY HAVE THE BEST FOOD THERE? My husband and my kids love this place it makes us feel like when we go to Mexico the employees there are super nice and the lady that cooks makes you feel welcomed!! I love there Cafe de olla ❤ if you haven't had it you need too!! We always order our consome and tacos de suadero OMG they are the best!! (TRY THERE CHORIZO TOO) In fact I went there today and I love how everytime I go they sell more Mexican stuff in there market I'm just in love with this place!! I give it a 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ because I can't put 6 stars lol?“

“Food flavor is always a 10/10 I just wish the place looked better and had AC. They definitely need to refurbish. If you are in a hurry, order ahead so the food could be ready at pick up. My drive is 10 minutes and its usually ready upon my arrival. Take Cash to avoid the credit card/debit card fee.“

“This restaurant doesn't have a menu, you need to look at the food behind the glass, or ask the attendant when it's your turn, you (have to wait in this "hole in the wall".) The soups are tastless, the tacos are big most of the time are good except for carne asada that is dry, but $5 for a taco is a little bit too much. I do not recommend this place.?

Parking: Limited and small.“

“The most delicious food I’ve ever had. The service was the best possible thanks to Carolina and Christina. Super fresh seafood in very large portions. The restaurant is large and comfortable with a counter bar. The best.“

“Food is delicious and just the right amount of spice
taste just like momma used to make. (If not better just don’t tell my mom or I’ll get the chancla)

Also thanks to El Monte memes for sharing this location if it wasn’t for him I’d never realize this place was here and I’ve been driving down Rosemead most of my life

Armando down in the reviews can suck a jalapeño womp womp go eat McDonald’s“

“Cuando voy a Señor Alberto, yo soy el 👑 Rey !! Gracias Sergio y Staff“

“Deliciosa Birria recomendado al 💯“

“Definitely a 10/10 experience!!! Our server Alex was so great. Very friendly super, enthusiastic, and helpful as we our traveling through the area. He made this a great experience for us! Highly recommend eating here. Besides costumer hospitality the food was delicious and great portions!“

“King Taco is the best taco chain, without a doubt! This location is great, but service could be improved by adding additional cashiers.

The carne asada tacos were delicious as always, alongside the cheese and jalapeño tamales.“
