Mexican Restaurants near Universal City

“Fresh food 100% recommend“

“Simplified order taking using a touch terminal.The staff is pleasant and the atmosphere good insofar as it is a food court. Everyone eats what they want.Small flat on the prices which are higher than other Taco Bell. This is undoubtedly linked to the mass presence of tourists, the restaurant being in the Citywalk of Universal Studios.“

“Everyone listen up….order a fountain drink here….the bang for your BUCK and the service….the server Ace was so caring he makes your drink as your like it from the fountain….with CRUSHED ice…..yes CRUSHED ice and he knows he asks you … how much ice would you like …. He cares that’s what’s up Mr Ace thanks for asking me how I like my drink….menu and food and amount are all great…..chips FANtastic…crisp and yummy….nachos could have a little more cheese on them you know you can tell if you have good nachos if you like cheese off your finger….thay didn’t happen here but that’s ok that’s ok still the drink ice combo made up for it…..

Thank you for the tip fellow Krusty burger server pointed me in the direction of this gem bc as you know grubber recognizes grubber!!!

Grub on and well done!“

“Absolutely delicious food. Chulita Bowl was fantastic, hibiscus mimosa and latte were so good. Friendly staff too! Thanks for the wonderful brunch. 🙏🧜🏽‍♀️“

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

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“Just tried MIRATE Restaurant the food was amazing! Definitely worth checking out if you love great flavors.“

“All the food was outstanding. The raw fish and seafood was unbelievably fresh and aptly paired with elevated fresh flavors. The tostadas reminded me of Contramar in Cdmx, but even better (dare i say).

The atmosphere is beautiful, has a massive garden space, scattered lighting, copious succulents. It feels like an escape right in LA. The service is warm, personable, efficient.

Definitely worth the trip and such a great find.“

“Conrad the owner knows what he is doing here. He deserves ⭐. I hope he gets one day.
Food is top tier and his choice to bring the food to you and in order so you get perfect temperature is subtle and appreciated.

Made to order tortillas should be the standard.

I'm just upset I didn't find this place sooner and it was so good. I almost forgot to take a pic of the tacos 🌮“

“Delicious and healthy food!“

“best food and customer service 🥰“

“Exquisito todo y el servicio excelente yo si regreso“

“We had a great experience at this bar! Even though we arrived late, Dustin, was incredibly warm and welcoming, which immediately set the tone for the night. Our servers, Juan and Robert, were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The service never felt rushed, and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. You can really tell they care about their guests. We’ll definitely be back!“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Definitely Coming Back, Thank You For The Great Food, Hospitality, and Serving Chef Ismael💥“

“Excellent service great ambience ‘ they also have the amazing tequila card with a variety of tequilas . P“

“Wonderful place Great drinks and food“

“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.“

“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! 🫶🇲🇽“

“the best food and the best service🙏“

“Guisados offers delicious, authentic Mexican tacos with rich flavors and high-quality ingredients. The menu features a variety of hearty fillings, all served in a casual and vibrant environment. The staff is friendly and attentive. Overall, a great spot for satisfying Mexican comfort food.“

“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“

“Exquisito todo y el servicio excelente yo si regreso“

“The best tacos in California!“

“I'm not a local, so didn't really have a clue where to go to get something to eat. We looked at the listings on Google Maps, and had actually decided to go somewhere else. We parked and walked passed Guisados on our way to the other place, looked at the specials and checked out the inside and decided to stay and eat here. I am so glad we did. I had three of the street tacos, carne asada, shrimp, and a Chile Rellano, all of which were delicious. The horchata was fresh and sweet, and perfect for taking the little bit of spicy edge off. I highly recommend this restaurant. If I was local, I'd be going back regularly.“

“El Chato Taco Truck:
A popular local taco truck known for its authentic, flavorful Mexican street food. The tacos are made with fresh ingredients and bold seasonings, delivering a satisfying punch of flavor in every bite. Favorites include carne asada and al pastor, with generous portions and well-balanced toppings. The vibe is casual and laid-back, perfect for a quick, tasty meal on the go. Great value for money, making it a must-try for taco lovers seeking genuine street-style eats.“

“Our favorite Mexican dine-in in our neighborhood. I get a carnitas sope and my partner gets the tacos dorados special with rice and beans, but everyone seems to have their favorite order. Fresh squeezed orange juice is awesome! Cash only but there’s an atm.“

“This was our very first stop in Los Angeles, and honestly, Benny’s Tacos set the bar impossibly high for everything that came after.

The bowl was absolutely surreal, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly put together. But the real showstopper was the burrito. I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s the best burrito I’ve ever had in my life. The combination of pinto beans and carne asada was pure perfection, smoky, tender meat with creamy beans wrapped in every bite. The kind of thing you think about long after you’ve left.

If you’re landing in LA and don’t know where to start, start here. You won’t regret it.“

“El gran sabor de las tortas de Neza en Los Ángeles ca.“

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

“Food & service is always amazing! I left my wallet there & the staff helped me retrieve it when they were closed! They went above & beyond to help me -“

“We had an amazing experience at Good Clean Fun! We reserved the patio for a small work event. The space was so nice. The food was delicious. I loved the pizzas, honestly some of the best I've had. Their wine selection is great, and they make a great Hugo Spritz.

Also, I have to shoutout Hunter! She was an incredible server. She was so kind, attentive, and flexible when our plans changed.

I wish I lived in LA just to be able to come here regularly! I'm looking forward to coming back whenever I visit.“

“The food was on another level, super fresh local ingredients, family recipes made with recognition of the past and an eye towards the future. The vibe in the restaurant is top-notch and the neighborhood is so chill and beautiful. Sat outside and met so many friendly people on the street, and the staff was really gracious. The butternut squash chorizo brussels sprout with preserved lemon dish was banging, enchiladas mole poblano and Chilaquiles with christmas sauce and pecan flan were all so good“

“I have yet to have better, real authentic Mexican food in my life. Yes, there are plenty of solid options for tacos in LA, but La Fiesta Brava is everything you want in every single bite. It’s a quaint family run Mexican eatery transporting you through time (back to your childhood with the juicy fruit gum) and space. You are part of the family here. My favorite part of the experience was eating the steak fajitas and the carnitas tacos, as I reminisced on childhood meals with my parents when we were first introduced to Mexican food in the US. What a blessing it is for restaurants like this to still exist - nothing beats the rich flavors and exceptional customer service at La Fiesta Brava. 10/10 - I will come here every single time for a traditional homemade meal and leave every single time with a happy heart and stomach.“

“Food was great our server Dominique was great!“

“Me gusta mucho que los productos como las tortillas el chocolate quecillo asean de muy buena calidad lo recomiendo de verdad 👍👍👍👍“

“I'm from out of town, but have come here twice now. Incredible food each time, and such friendly staff. The vibes are immaculate, too. Salsa & guacamole are both on point.I would be willing to throw hands for the carnitas, perfectly seasoned and crispy on the edges.“

“the fish is fresh and yum. not flakey fish.“

“So glad my daughter and I stopped here. We each had breakfast burritos and they were excellent. Not only delicious, but big. We both tried the hot salsa and liked it. The atmosphere was very inviting. The service was the best I've received in a very long time. The server was very attentive and sweet. The cook came out and asked if we were enjoying our meal. He was interested in our feedback. We both decided we would be back even though we don't live in the area. It was definitely worth the effort of finding parking. Don't pass this place up
PS, the cook let us try the birria. That's what I'm ordering next time. Yum“

“Me encantan los tacos y burritos de cabeza.“

“Excelente servicio y comida de calidad ☑️“

“Delicious food and drinks!!!“

“This is a great example of how LA street mexican food culture is like.

This place has one of the best pastor tacos in LA. Their meats are well seasoned and are not dry. Their salsas have great flavor and heat.

The lines can be long but it is worth the wait. You just can't beat this place when it comes to taste, quality, and price.“

“Had a beautiful bridal shower for 24 persons in their outdoor patio. Staff was friendly, welcoming and attentive; food was delicious and served up in generous-sized portions.“

“I had the cochinita pibil and poc choc and they had incredible flavor! The toughest part about this eating area is that all of the restaurants here are very tasty, but that being said I Super recommend Chichén Itza. I would definitely come back“

“Yummy food. Good customer service. Very nice people“

“This restaurant has the most delicious homemade food I tried. My wife loves the posole and I love the Menudo. We try to go there every weekend to eat some of their delicious food they make. I recommend it 100%.“

“pasamos de pasadita guiados por los reviews y nos sorprendió los mejores tacos de birria qué hemos comido. recomendamos al 100 por 100“

“The best Mexican food in LA County!“

“This place is great! The food is delicious, and more importantly, the customer service is excellent. The staff is very attentive and makes you feel welcome. The prices on the menu are reasonable for the quality you get.
It’s located inside a shopping center, which makes parking convenient, although it can depend on the time of day. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained.
If you’re around the Eagle Rock area, this will definitely be your spot. They also serve Mexican food, which is a big plus.
I definitely recommend this place!“

“We came in on January 1st and there was only one person sitting inside eating. We grabbed some menus and sat down and waited for a short while before someone came in from the back to take our order. Just one guy taking orders and in the kitchen, he was still able to get our food and the food for the few other people who came in after us out really quickly. The food was great, and the guy working was super nice. Come to find out towards the end of our meal that they were not actually open today. He’s there every day and his friend had come by so he let him in to eat and we just happened to get there when the door was unlocked. I (and I overheard the other patrons expressing the same sentiment) was very apologetic but he said it was fine, “I like it” he said. I still feel kind of bad about it but it was also kind of lovely, what a sweet heart.“
