50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Whittier

“First time at Fuego Cravings, service was excellent. Made us feel welcomed. The food was amazing. Had the Cubana torta, great! Tangy sauce, good fusion of flavors.

Taquitos de papa were great, esquisitos. Guacamole and salsas were balanced and not too spicy.

Cheesecake came warm with a caramel dipping sauce.“

“I was told about this place from an out of town coworker that has relatives near by. The owner/cook was very hospitable and everything was surprisingly low priced. Tacos were very tasty and well balanced. I would go back definitely. The only thing I didn’t really like was the parking lot cause its entrance is very close to a busy blvd with fast traffic. You have to exit very carefully. I recommend either parking in the back, side street or back in.“

“I feel like I discovered this place - I saw about Puffy Tacos years ago but I’d never had one. And then “I” discovered Arturo’s! OMG! I’m here once to twice a week! Next week I’m bringing friends!“

“Great food! Highly recommend!“

“muy buena comida y exelente servicio“

“Es mi primera ves este lugar está más que recomendado el menudo woow 🤤🤤y las gorditas regresaremos pronto para probar lo demás ♥️y quedamos fascinados con la decoración que tienen me encanto dios los bendiga“

“Absolutely recommend this place! The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the service was excellent. I had the chile relleno chimichanga, and my son got the chicken and cheese enchiladas. Both were really good, and the horchata was *the good kind*. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and nicely presented, and the staff made us feel welcome. Great food, great service, and a great overall experience. We’ll definitely be back! 🌮😋“

“Went for Sunday brunch had their Taqitios and margaritas delicious. Server was a little over welmed when the place started getting busy it took about 30 minutes to get our check. But excellent place will definitely be back! Want to try their Enchiladas 😁“

“We celebrated a birthday today and the food was excellent and The service was The BEST!! Washington & Rodrigo made this an experience we won't forget! We will definitely be back. Maybe for Sunday Brunch. We had the Chile Relleno/Taco combo, Chicken fajitas and the Mole burrito. Every plate was delicious! Almost forgot the Mango Margaritas and The SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS! Thank you!!!“

“I don’t post a lot of food reviews but the birria combo plate here is the bees knees…and I don’t use that term to describe food lol! The puro carne asad burrito is generously sized. Flavor overall is amazing. This is only my second time ordering from them and definitely will not be my last.“

“By far the best food from a food truck I’ve ever had. This is my go to and staff already know my order when I walk up. Staff is also amazing and genuinely want you to have a great experience. My favorite dining in the area for sure.“

“BEST BIRRIA TACOS IN WHITTIER !! will be coming back , prices were very affordable and portions were even more amazing! got my food fast and efficient and in an amazing location ! would def recommend for anyone who's looking for good quality mexican food !“

“The El Pastor wet green Burrito is delicious. I'm going back to try other foods.“

“Came in while we wait for an oil change and was greeted with such hospitality. While it is a restaurant it feels like a home here. There was only one man here working but he did acknowledge us right away. I ordered the Pupusas and when he was preparing my order I can hear him preparing them in the back BY HAND, not pre made. Delicious and hot.“

“Tacos Aranda I love it. I have been coming here for 17 years and they have always been my favorite.Tacos Aranda are the best tacos in WHITTIER and apart from the fact that the food is delicious, Mr. Aranda makes the view more pleasant with his kindness, attention and good service.“

“Came here for $1 tacos on Tuesday and Thursday. The tacos are your typical street taco and they have a taco bar to add all the cilantro and onions and so forth that you can add yourself. They also have esquite for $4. Two people can eat here for less than $10, I have no complaints about that.“

“Casa Jimenez is absolutely wonderful! The food is delicious! I love their Albondigas Soup! It's full of fresh vegetables and meatballs. It comes with tortillas, rice, onions and cilantro. It's so tasty and filling. You are served fresh chips and two kinds of salsa when you sit down. My husband loves their breakfast foods!“

“Hole in the wall but wow that price for a super burrito! Burrito was nothing to brag about. Ordered a super burrito with buche and asada. $26..... They needed to heat it up more, the cheese was not remotely melted, I guess I shouldn't have ordered it with everything, the salad probably cooled everything down. Cause the burrito was not piping hot like how I would have liked it.
That being said omg this is a giant burrito larger than a smart water bottle.“

“Very good food and service“

“Great tasting tacos, burritos, gorditas, quesadillas. Tacos are massive, pricey, and worth it, at least 1/3 lb. of meat per taco big tortilla. Salsa is extra charge if you want extra on the side. Order to go, small place to sit down like a whole in the wall literally. Must try!“

“The food was great. But what I didn't understand was why they put plastic bags to cover the plates and then serve your hot food on top of the plastic. Is it BPA safe? I think it's laziness so that they don't have to wash the dishes which is gross. The conversation that the cooks we're having was inappropriate specially in such an open kitchen. Where everybody sees and hears what you're doing. Especially children. No one was busting tables. Customers were coming in cleaning their own tables picking up the trash around the table. The cashier was very unfriendly. She didn't smile. Every question was an annoyance and the interaction felt rushed. They didn't even say thank you for coming when we left. We had tacos de asada and loaded potato with carne asada. The loaded potato came with a generous amount of tortillas. The combination didn't mix.“

“The orchata is yummy not sugary tacos are great tacos yummy you would not complain trust the that taco flavor The salsa roja delicious nice spicy flavor the nachos are delicious yummy the cheese is delicious taste just right not a strange taste just fine . Try them all it’s 💯 delicious with flavor .“

“Sumos Tacos is a must-try! The tacos are packed with flavor, the meat is juicy and well-seasoned, and everything tastes fresh. Portions are very generous and worth every bite. Super friendly and fast, but most importantly delicious 🤤 Whether you’re craving tacos or something a little different, Sumos Tacos delivers. Definitely coming back! 🌮🔥“

“Everything is delicious make sure u dont eat anything 3 hours before for u to fully enjoy the deliciousness“

“Absolutely amazing! Hands down the best tacos in my area. You can tell they care about quality and flavor. Super friendly staff and quick service, too. If you're anywhere near this truck (Valley View and Telegraph), do yourself a favor and stop by—you won't regret it!“

“I’m very particular about meat quality whenever I try taco stands because the meat is the main ingredient in the taco. This spot had my whole family going back for more! Definitely on my top taco stands in the area. Do not sleep on these guys.“

“If you’re craving authentic Mexican comfort food, this spot will hit every note. They offer a variety of traditional Mexican dishes! Homestyle meals with homemade corn tortillas! Beans made from scratch!! They specialize in authentic tacos, Mexican soups, menudo and pozole & a variety of Mexican comfort foods you'll love.

Taqueria Carnitas Sahuayo brings a taste of Michoacán!! The Carne de Puerco con Chile is pure flavor — tender pork in a deep red chili sauce that’s both rich and bold. The fried queso quesadilla was ridiculously cheesy, the adobada burrito packed with saucy goodness, and that flan… SO creamy!! Don’t miss out on the agua de Jamaica!! Bold, tangy, and refreshingly floral!! Insanely refreshing!!

Every bite is hearty, rich with flavor and a taste of Michoacán that’s a definitely crave-able!!

Wonderful customer service from Juan and Javier!!“

“todo espectacular, desde el ambiente, el servicio.. y la comida deliciosa!“

“Delicioso & great service! Very nice environment !“

“Had an awesome experience at Tacos El Compa Mike.

Ordered 3 quesabirria tacos with a bit of a special request, and Mike came through no problem. That kind of flexibility already sets the tone, but the food backed it up completely. The meat was perfectly cooked—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. You can tell it’s well-seasoned and handled with care, not rushed or thrown together.

Everything tasted fresh, and the tacos hit exactly how quesabirria should—rich, satisfying, and done right.

Definitely recommend checking this spot out if you want quality tacos and solid service. I’ll be coming back for sure.“

“Amazing Sope Tacos Desvelados is basically a thick tortilla with lots of tasty things on top of it. The base is made from masa dough, which is cooked until the outside gets crispy and the inside stays soft and chewy. Each bite tastes great because of the different textures that are mixed together.“

“I started going here about a month ago love thier tortas. There pollo is different from other places but very good i haven't tried to many items on thier menu but i think I found my new taco spot also staff workers are super friendly thankyou for your service“

“The Menudo is absolutely good. Try it with the pata.“

“Food is decent if you're craving carnitas. Meat is tender not overly cooked but also not crispy enough for my taste. Parking is very challenging the other vendors take most of it up. Local business with parking have strict rules and will tow you. So good luck!“

“This place is delicious. Handmade tortillas. Flavorful meat. Someone complained that the chorizo is like a hot dog. Yea its a different style of chorizo, still chorizo, just not crumbly. Its good in the burrito. The best salsa is the molcajete reddish brown looking one. The horchata is refreshing and delicious. Love this place when they are there.“

“Food was great. I loved the chips and salsa. I had huevos con chorizo and my husband had machaca. He is pickier than me and stated he wanted to return. That machaca must have been good. The breakfast potatoes were nice and crispy. Who can say no to hand made corn tortillas. The cafe de olla was free since we were early for breakfast. Nice detail. I did not give them five stars because I noticed that the chorizo was heavier on the garlic than I like and the tortillas were a little on the thick side. I would have given them a 4.8 if I could! But I will definitely be returning. Got to try their chilaquiles.“

“Chiefs taco truck is cool. He parks his cart in front of his business which is called chiefs roadside antiques. So you can have some tacos and check out his antique store which is open.The burritos are very good, I also ordered the quesadilla frita which is so tasty. The salsa is good and they make their own Agua Frescas“

“The carne asada tacos were delicious. The corn tortillas they use were so tasty.“

“Me encanta el Menudo, los tacos de pescado, la carne de puerco con nopales, el chile verde con carne, y la carne asada. Pero tienen una gran variedad de platillos deliciosos. Nos fascina venir a comer aquí, y nos tratan como si estuvieramos en casa. Se los recomiendo!“

“Great food. Breakfast burritos so big, we we're able to have for two mornings....well worth the price.“

“Muy buen lugar para Desayunar, comer y cenar 😋“
