50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Tujunga

“This was my first time visiting Los Angeles, California, and I’m so glad I stopped here! The food was really good, and the portions were much bigger than I expected for the price. Everything was fresh and satisfying, and the service was excellent. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and my order was taken care of quickly. I had a great experience and would definitely come back!“

“Joselito’s is such an amazing restaurant! I had, probably, the best carnitas dinner and chips and guacamole (made fresh to order) I’ve ever experienced. A must go to whenever in the Tujunga area.“

“Had extra time for lunch today so decided why not. Ordered a torta to go but place was empty so had to dine in. I am pleased with their spicy salsa actually being spicy. Being a Latina dining at a mex restaurant in La Crescenta i had low expectations but food was yummy,salsa was spicy wich i love. Atmosphere,i loved that they play authentic Mexican music,however i wished it had more color. Maybe genuine mexican wall art? Too neutral but still i didn’t mind it.“

“We had the sopes and tacos de tripa and cabeza with agua de tamarindo. Everything was delicious. The salsa was good. I was suprised when I arrived because it has a nice outdoor seating and it's big inside. Good place to hold an informal party or family gatherings. Lots of parking around the corner on Commerce Avenue.“

“I ordered the chicken enchilada, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and authentic, and you could tell it was made fresh. Every bite was satisfying, and it easily became the highlight of my visit.

Even though the shop isn’t very big, the quality of the food and the warm vibe more than make up for it. If you’re in the Tujunga area and craving good Mexican food, this place is definitely worth checking out.“

“atienden muy bien los meseros son muy serviciales todos y la manager pregunta si todo esta bien estan al pendiente en todo momento muy buen servicio“

“Delicious food, reasonable prices, great atmosphere. LA is becoming way too overpriced. We left a restaurant down the street for charging DOUBLE for a breakfast burrito. Delia’s is holding down the real essence of Los Angeles eating. Go support them, and bring cash!“

“So delicious!!! The cheese Asada tacos are the besttt!! The quesadillas too yumm!!!

Can’t go wrong with anything you order honestly. Ask for the carrots they’re delicious. They do the work with quality and good stuff cause I usually get a tummy ache from Mexican food but from here I don’t. Totally worth coming here for tacos.

They only offer outdoor seating so make sure to go at a cool time. Staff is great and they’re quick even when they’re busy.“

“This is not only one of my family’s restaurants in our neighborhood, it’s one of our favorite spots in LA. Reliably excellent, reasonably priced, truly unique, and staff is always helpful and attentive. The green garlic sauce is so good I’d eat a whole bowl of it like ice cream if it were my last day on earth.“

“Cemitas Don Adrián is a true gem for authentic Mexican flavors! The cemitas are incredible—fresh bread, layered perfectly with meats, cheese, and all the right toppings. The tacos de cecina are absolutely delicious, packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. And the salsas? So good! Each one adds a perfect touch, from spicy to tangy, making every bite unforgettable. The service is friendly, the portions are generous, and the food tastes just like home. Highly recommend for anyone craving real, flavorful Mexican food!“

“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.“

“Delicious food and drinks!!!“

“Muy rica comida excelente servicio, muy amables todos 🥰“

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

“Ran over to this spot as it was the *only* option in walkable distance from my event install. The ladies working the front were so kind and patient with my lack of Spanish. I ordered a bacon, egg , cheese on a torta and it was WAY better than expected. Local spot, with good food. I bet their lunch/dinner options are delicious!“

“I love the chilaquiles! The food selection is great and the prices are reasonable“

“You want Mexican home food? This place is it. Order what you think a Mexican mom would make for dinner and not what you order at Taco Bell and you'll have delicious lunch. The service is always great but do plan to take out and enjoy in a nearby park.“

“La birria está muy rica ...!!! (chivo) RECOMENDADO!!!“

“Absolute home run, what a gem. Will be back ASAP…one of the most amazing meals of my life. Of the thousands of tacos I’ve probably eaten, these were my favorite. No lie, no exaggeration. Almost a religious experience…SO good.

Ruby took great care of me, had great recs. Really fantastic choices on the tap list, and had a jalapeño slaw fish, ribeye, pork belly. Each unique and exploding with flavor. Asked for hot sauce with the order then never touched it…that may be a first. Met the owner, and 2 other employees…great people.

Guys, you crushed it. Can’t wait to come back, everything about this meal was beyond top notch. I loved it so much. Thank you!“

“We always appreciate the incredibly consistent quality of the food here and the truly wonderful service when we visit. This is, without question, our long-standing favorite spot in the Glendale area for Mexican food. not a high-end restaurant, but rather a 5-Star Taqueria! I'll tka this over one of those $10 burger joints any time. Keep up the excellent work!“

“I've been to many burger spots in my life, but I've never had a burger as good as the Chef Burger from Burger Bun. I'm talking perfectly seasoned beef, and delicious (but not overpowering) burger sauce, crisp vegetables, and the brioche bun is spectacular. There's no burger in Glendale that even comes close. The wings are also some of the best I've ever had and the homemade sauces are so, so tasty. The fries are perfect, and they have amazing milkshakes too. To top it all off, the service is ridiculously good, and the prices are fair. This is my go-to spot in town.“

“I live about 2 mins away from this place and tell you the breakfast burritos here are so delicious for the price of $6. Truly amazing. Be sure to help your self with free black beans on the side and a huge selection of salsa too. Best breakfast burritos in Sun Valley.“

“I recommend this place it has delicious food and the chef cook’s your food fast and you won’t regret it!! A must try!!“
