50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Valley Glen

“Delicious food. Well seasoned carne asada and a tasty salsa bar with spicy escabeche including plenty of carrots.

Service was good for fast food.

There are tables in a gss station almost never going to be the best atmosphere... but it works.“

“Best taco stand in Los Angeles. The Barbacoa is the best I've ever tried, the habanero sauce is fire. Tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos you can't go wrong with anything. Plus the bar is amazing. Overall great experience.

Vegetarian options: Veggie tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and nachos“

“This place has the best carnitas I've had from this place all the way to the border in San Diego. Juicy, flavorful carnitas with the skins. I ordered 1lb of just meat. Side of their gauca salsa and a red and green salsa. The green salsa is very, very good. Red is also very good. Just randomly looked for a Mexican place near me and this was a hit. Cannot recommend the carnitas enough“

I want to take all my friends to this place so Definitely I will be back!“

“Delicious food and drinks!!!“

“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“

“I passed this place a dozen times. This morning I was craving some breakfast. I asked for something that was not even on the menu. A chilaquiles burrito. He said I will be happy to make it for you. It was awesome! Everything I wanted wrapped in that burrito. Great place the owner is so friendly and gracious. I highly recommend that everyone support this wonderful small business!“

“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%.“

“This spot is soooo good! The staff had such great energy and it showed in how delicious the food was! The bread on the torta was so fresh and that corn tortilla was out of this woooorld. I also had a really great spicy marg with mezcal. I will be 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.“

“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.“

“Love the Place, Will join again“

“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.“

“😋 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.“

“Had my birthday dinner at this restaurant. The view from the balcony at night is so lovely. I had the Enmoladas dish; and it is a must try! The mole sauce is authentic and rich in flavor. Very nice staff as well. They were kind enough to sing me happy birthday 😊 I recommend making a reservation ahead of your visit.“

“Comida deliciosa y servicio excelente!!!“

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

“💯 recomendable excelente servio y comida. Valió la pena la hora de camino. Todo muy muy sabroso“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“
