37 Best Mexican Restaurants in Van Nuys

“I dont know what these other people are reviewing but these tortas are fire lol my gf put me on. Take out only which is great because the parking lot is small and theres always spot since people pick up and go. If you place your order at the window orders usually take 5-10mins. The wait is worth it. Had the #4 and #6 and a order of chalupas. All amazing, the Chipotle spread is very spicy so if you like them mild get the pickled jalapeños. Second time here, will be back.“

“Omg so delicious! I wanted to go today because I was thinking about those beans. They do something crazy good here 🔥🔥🔥 can’t wait to go tomorrow though. Highly recommend“

“Good cemitas at this location, but there are other Don Adrian spots in the valley. So if this place is too far, another might be closer.

Cemitas are like gourmet tortas that are tasty, toasty, chewy, cheesy, spicy, and big. Be aware that a small cemita is actually pretty big. I don't know what a large look like, though I saw a customer cutting their torta in half.“

“Best birria tacos is said and read all over the valley but believe me when I say these guys figured it out I grew up in tj so birria to me has been available day 1 after many years birria started popping out here more n more but each worst than the last this place however as soon as I took the first bite I had a ratatouille moment I was back on colonia buena Vista eating Andres tacos I love this place love love makes me emotional how much I love this place don't think about just go“

“Great food , indoor dining , reasonable price & healthy options.“

“Amazing food! Made to order, clean and beautiful dining area, excellent customer service. Tacos Al pastor, tacos de chicharrón, gorditas Xochipilli, chilaquiles, a few of my favorites. The best spot in the valley for authentic Mexican food.“

“Guillermo was our terrific waiter/server.😉 Thanks, Guillermo!“

“Costa Grande Restaurant has received positive reviews for its authentic Mexican cuisine. If you're looking for fresh, handmade tortillas and flavorful dishes, it might be a great choice. The restaurant is known for its tacos, enchiladas verde, and burritos that impress even California transplants1. If you're in the Los Angeles area, the Van Nuys location also has good ratings, with customers praising its fish tacos and friendly service. Would you like more details on the menu or customer experiences?“

“I arrived at this restaurant because I saw that they serve Peruvian food, however I tried their carnitas burrito and fish taco, It was delicious, I look forward to try their Peruvian food in the future, friendly people, bendiciones y gracias“

“Tried the place for the first time. Ordered California burrito, and black bean burrito. Wasn’t expecting it to be really good. The burritos itself were delicious, the portions were good as well. The price was reasonable and taste buds were happy. Sitting are outside truck as well. Will go back for tacos, worth it. Recommended.

Vegetarian options: Black bean burrito, Grilled vegetables as a protein option.“

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

“Everything taste great but I seriously need to have those beans special delivered to me! I don’t even like beans but I could eat these every day. 🥰“

“I stop there on my road trip from New Hampshire to Idaho! don’t ask me how I got to California! But this food truck was by far the best food truck. I’ve had in California and I’ve been to plenty of them as I do transport fur babies across the country. Five stars if I could give them 10 stars, I would. By the way I live in Georgia, and they have every restaurant in Beach that I’ve been to“

“I stumbled upon this place while looking for a place to have dinner while working in Van Nuys for the evening. I had seen a photo of their taco plate on a Google review. So that’s what I decided to get. The man who took my order was polite and professional. I ordered the al pastor tacos with rice, refried beans and tortilla chips. I also had the agua de jamaica to drink. The price was very reasonable. After I ordered I walked into their dining room, which was small but comfortable. They had an open salsa bar which included red salsa, green salsa, coleslaw and radishes (all very fresh and tasted good). My food came out quickly and it was all delicious. I ate so quickly I forgot to take photos lol. Thank you, El Ranchito. You have a customer for life!“

“This spot is the one! I’ve lived in the area for ever and just discovered this hidden gem! You have to pull up with an appetite and come ready to eat some solid food. Glad i found this spot on Google Maps.I got the Bisteq Ranchero & some tacos. It was absolute fire, wasnt able to finish it because the proportion was very decent. Customer service was great and Ive also put some pics below! ?“

“Lily is the bes and fiid is always great!“

“Good Tacos and good taste. I gave it 4 stars because they have way too much fat and gristle. I've eaten tacos that don't allow that mu h fat and gristle to be added and they go down way more smooth. Also, the meat quality is not the best.“

“las redes sociales tienen un potencial enorme...quise venir a disfrutar quizas parte de comida tijuanense...es una lastima que empleadas como esta echen a perder todo...pedí 3 tacos y una coca...y no me puso la coca en la orden...me hizo esperar el tiempo que quiso para darme mi cambio...mientras esperaba vi como le hizo mal otra orden a un señor con discapacidades...y argumentaba que no podía cambiar la orden hasta que viniera un manager...y no somos perfectos..lo se..pero la actitud es muy importante...al estar apoyando al sr en silla de ruedas...ella volteo hacia a mi y me dijo que no me metiera donde no me llaman..total..me voy decepcionado“

“One of my favorite Mariscos places. The shrimp coctails are soo packed with shrimp unlike most places that give you 5 or 6 shrimp.. Both the Fish & the shrimp tacos are huge. They give you free chips and Salsa when u dine in and The salsa is so good I always go through 2 bowls! The service is fast and the girls that work there are super nice. Been going here for 20 years. It is CASH ONLY but the 711 next door has an ATM. It's also kind of small so it gets packed quickly depending on the time and day.

Parking: This place is in a small plaza with many small businesses so parking is usually full but there's a lot of in & traffic so if you wait a couple minutes you should find a spot to park.“

“Came in for a quick lunch after peeping the photos on Google maps. Was pleasantly surprised to see a new sign out front and recent remodeling inside. In the modern interior they still serve the traditional food with a punch ? had the red chilaquiles with egg and it was excellent ?“

“I was a little skeptical to eat here since I've never tried there food, well I'm glad I did food is absolutely delicious I got the Birria Combination good amount of food the meat is soft and tender, both my daughter and son got the tacos de azada I expected two little tacos but to my surprise they are huge and with good amount of azada, my hubby got the Birria en Caldo de Chivo good amount of meat the caldo was tasty and not runny or watery also it comes with a good amount of homemade tortillas. The one only thing I would change is the chips and salsa chips need seasonings and the salsa roja needs to be more thick less water.“

“The Fish ceviche is THEE best!! Fresh made enchilada sauce, wonderful table salsas and chips, rice is bomb, fresh seafood everything made to order. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“ive been coming here ever since we lived in blythe and I was 6years old I moved all over the US ATL, Florida, Alabama and now I live in san diego, and I always take the trip to eat at this same location im 44 yrs old. and it still has the same old taste since I was a kid. I still drive and fly here to reminisce of my child hood love you dad thanks for everything you raised me well. R.I.P what I order is tacos de carne Asada etc. Burrito de carne Asada con aroz y frijoles cilantro y cebolla. known as the Conga minus the cilantro and cebolla. Sin Chile now im going to all tacoshop to make this burrito known in sandigo I made the mark. Woohoo!“

“Great waters and friendly staff :)“

“I came here yesterday for the first time. The pics online looked great and I was NOT disappointed! I ordered to go when I got home my food was still hot and fresh. The flavor was impeccable it was ?. I knew the moment I smelled it that it was gonna be heat! I enjoyed it so much I came back today! The staff was also great very friendly and patient... I found my new taco spot ?“

“rica comida con buen sabor👍“

“I'm never disappointed when I order Al pastor here. the burritos are loaded! and still reasonably priced. I love that they let me add toppings before they close the burrito and offer grilled cheese and onions. The line for the salsa station always feels chaotic because it mixes with the ordering line and you can never tell if the handles and the buckets are sanitary. But that's part of the street taco experience! I'll risk a little for that green salsa“

“el pollo es realmente bueno“

“This was my first time that I went to this place my friend took me She already knew this place,So we went to get some Menudo with fresh handmade tortillas & my friend ordered 1 carnitas taco, that taco was big and cheap !The carnitas were fresh Homemade We ate there then the owner came to our table very friendly asking me if I want to try their carnitas with a taco already he said "is on the house for you to try our carnitas!"That was very nice of Him the taco was yummy the carnitas were succulent the staff was friendly & I did felt comfortable eating there I felt like I was eating in a family restaurant!It is a small place but while we were there people kept coming and taking orders to go!I guess this is a good signal about this place!I do recommend it!?“

“Best al pastor tacos I've ever tasted! And I hate salsa that is too spicy and they have this green sauce or salsa that isn't spicy at all, and it's so flavorful! Went two nights in a row just to get the same tacos. So delicious!“

“I recommend them, the food is very delicious, it really has flavor, I have several favorites such as the panuchos, the golden taquitos, the chicken and suckling pig salbutes, the wire order, the sopes ?. Yucatecan Food ??The waters are natural and they are also delicious!!! ?“

“Very good buritto, server and the crew are very kind. 5/5 ❤️❤️❤️“

“Delicious food, drinks and service.“

“The cashier was on her phone when I walked up. I asked for tacos and a mulita. I told her the meat type that I wanted. She typed it it the iPad and kept asking, "What kind of meat?" After I told her many times and slowly. Even after repeating my order multiple times, she still got it wrong. However, the food was delicious. Not exactly what I wanted but it was very good!“

“Ordered tacos w all.. dam they were hot as hell.. This place is awesome but if u cant handle the heat (not even sure i can) be sure to say no salsa on the tacos.. the chips n salsa is pretty hot too but very flavorful. There are taco vendors everywhere but i felt a need to support. Legit mexican food for sure. Especially if youre hung over.“

“the food was amazing! Overpriced if I may say. Just for two people we spend over $56. The chips were stale, waiter only checked on us once since we had ordered we were there for about 30-40mins, when we asked the waiter for our check he never came back he went to do other things from what we could see ordering food for other people (I think they’re short staffed?) we waited and waited until we decided to get up to the counter their was someone ahead of us then she left and the person behind the counter also left we waited there another 5-10mins. Then someone came back waited again for them to calculate how much it was. I need a box to go & when we came back to our table the guy was trying to throw away the food that was on the table since they were cleaning up & my bf had to run to tell them we’re taking it to go.

Food was amazing, I just don’t like waiting especially since we were in a rush & it wasn’t as busy as it was when we first go there.

I don’t think I recommend it to people just because of the long period wait time. but if you’re not in a rush give it a try food was good & the drinks. Just chips were stale & the salsa for the chips wasn’t good.“

“Muy sabrosa comida the kids tacos los mejores“
