50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Valley Glen

“Can’t rave enough on these breakfast burritos. Best in town! I personally love the location for a pick up. I come for the quality of food but wouldn’t recommend for a sit down although if alone or with one other couldn’t be nice. It’s located in a gas station so grab a candy as you leave. Wait is a bit long because they are so busy, order ahead!“

“Stopped by from Valley Village and damn this place is good! Got the Durango Special and I can’t stop thinking about it. All of the flavors and seasonings were on point. The server was super friendly and played “taco roulette” with one of them being super spicy. 10/10 would go again“

Dietary restrictions: great for health choice of food selection including the ingredients and the way the chicken was cooked and prepared.“

The hand made Tortillas are the best in Los Angeles, loved the mole, I had the chile relleno, and it was an amazing vegetarian option for me. Service was so warm and friendly. I want to take all my friends to this place so Definitely I will be back!“

“This is a go to place for our family. Consistently good. We get takeout more frequently but the times we have eaten there have been nice. There is a little covered patio in the back with more tables. The service is fast and friendly. Love this place!“

“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“

“Got a small bite here and super delicious and awesome setting outside.
Hope the owners see my edit...my family will be checking you out soon hopefully! I wanted to stop before heading to the airport but didn't have enough time. Will be returning next time for sure!“

“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%.“

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

“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.“

“Food was great our server Dominique was great!“

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

“Love the people and food is amazing!!“

“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“

“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.“

“We have been going to Don Cuco’s for many many years!!! Family celebrations are always fun & tasty !!“

“Love the Place, Will join again“

“I’ve been here twice in last week, and absolutely LOVE the red enchiladas. I’ve been missing the enchiladas back in my hometown and these have the same homemade feel. The chips are incredible, and the mild salsa with cilantro is to die for. Will definitely be making this a frequent stop of mine here in Los Angeles. So happy I found this place, if you’re on the fence about going, go try it!! You won’t be disappointed.“

“The service is friendly and fast and delightful. My daughter loves their salsa for chips …it’s the only salsa she likes. Service is so sincere and attentive. It’s our first time here and it’s super cozy and the food is absolutely the best Mexican I have had. There are lights on the ceiling and it’s super Duper beautiful.“

“😋 their sopas a very delicious….“

“Fantastic food and great service“

“Was pretty good, loved the verde sauce and atmospheric grit. Was at the Hollywood Heritage Museum book sale today and saw the original vintage photos of the place. Very cool!“

“I came to Google to review this place and help them out, but I see they already have amazing reviews and rightfully so.
I’ve been ordering caldo de Albondigas (meatball soup) to go for the last five years and it never disappoints. They give you all the fixings like cilantro, onion, limes, and handmade tortillas along with chips and salsa. I most recently ordered Chilaquiles Verdes as I did not want to pay $15 at el zarape (nearby) For the same proportion (eggs not included) and no sides. The Chilaquiles from El Comal come with eggs, a side of rice and beans, chips and salsa for $16. Worth it. The to-go packaging on this plate could use something more sturdy, but they could serve it on a sheet of aluminum foil and I would still eat it. It’s that good. The salsa is an enjoyable spicy yet flavorful. 10/10 would recommend“

“Fried fish, grilled fish tacos were excellent. Perfectly cooked. Crispy and tender. Seasoned well.

Big win here: salsa bar includes whole black beans, incredible honey chipotle sweet sauce that I’ve not had before, and regular green and red sauces which tasted normal but deep.“

“Desde que conocí este lugar para mí como oaxaqueño ha sido similar a tener un pequeño pedazo de mi tierra. La anatomía de una tlayuda sencilla hasta en los puestos de la calle es: la tlayuda, asiento, frijol, QUESILLO y verdura, pero… que te cobren el quesillo como un extra…??!!, entiendo la carne, pero el quesillo…????!!!! Eso es demasiado, tal vez en otro platillos en entendible, pero en una tlayuda…???!!! Fuera de eso, sigue estando rico todo.“

“I had a great experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff were friendly, attentive, and quick to assist, which made the service excellent. Giving tulum vibe tropical. The food was delicious and well presented, with fresh ingredients and rich flavors. The menu offered a good variety of options, and everything we ordered was served on time. The prices were reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, it was a very enjoyable dining experience, and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good food and great service.“

“fantastic service! burritos were amazing. small and intimate. thank you! we'll be back again.“

“Comida deliciosa y servicio excelente!!!“

“The owner and all workers make you feel at home with their pleasant attitude Food is delicious“

“I went here for lunch after the access hollywood tour and I had the carnitas tacos. I’m a carnitas snob and these carnitas were the best I ever had!“

“The Queso Tacos and San Marcos Style Tacos Dorados, with consome, are hands down the real deal. So delicious! The Cucumber Agua Fresca was the perfect compliment drink. Best in the Valley.“

“Pros
* Tamales are rather large.
* Flavor if chicken, pork, and rajas are good
* I appreciate that they advertise tamales are not made with lard
* Masa is soft even after re-heating. Almost too soft it falls apart
* Pricing is not bad considering the size
* Fast service, I appreciate the labels for each flavor

Cons
* More masa than filling
* Vegetarian was disappointing. Vegetable filling looks like it came from a can (peas, corn, carrots, green beans) It would have been better to just label the bean and cheese vegetarian.
* We ate all tamales except “Vegetarian”
* The woman taking our order did have quite an attitude.“

“This is a family favorite, I’ve been coming to this restaurant since the early 2000s.

Excellent comfort homade style meals. Portions are big, prices are low. Service is fairly fast even when busy.
Employees have always been kind & patient.“

“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!!“
