New Mexican Restaurants near Whittier, CA

“Great food! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 😁“

“when we want a tasty meal, we come here. always delicious“

“Great food! Friendly service!“

“This place is great. Whenever I come by for Taco Tuesday the same man and woman are working. Very warm and friendly people, and clearly incredibly dedicated and hard working. I have tried all of the tacos, and my favorite are the carnitas. Perfectly moist and fried, and consistently great flavor every time. And they are the largest street tacos I’ve ever had by far. Excellent value and service. I make a significant drive to Fuego, and it’s been great every time. I remember going there on one occasion and the guy who works there saw me walking up on a really hot day and met me outside with my order, saying “it’s hot” with a smile and handed me my food. That sort of kindness sticks with you. Also, parking on the west side is recommended for an easy in and out.“

“The atmosphere was astonishing I was mesmerized as I tried to catch ever beautifully decorated chandelier and pieces of art Mosaic, especially the ginormous faux melting candle. Just as you catch from the side of your eyes it a cart wheeling private bar tender inquiring on if you would like a margarita! We ordered a $75.00 plate of filet mignon, shrimp, and scallops; I was disappointed for that price they give one shrimp a d two scallops? Steak was the bomb dot com though.“

“Amazing dinner at The Green Chile. Shredded beef & green chile melt, Southwest Enchilada and a Cherry Sopapilla with vanilla ice cream! This dessert just shot to the top of my all time desserts list!“

“We've been going to Don Jose's a.k.a. Rodrigo's for over 30 years now. Always delicious food, kind and friendly staff. Their food has always remained staying the same quality and taste!!! Sooo my family will continue coming again and again!!!“

“Fish tacos are AMAZING!
The Lengua was boiled or over cooked for me.
Great food, homie feel inside, service is VERY Good.

Parking: I usually park in the liquor store parking lot

Kid-friendliness: Very clean.
Lots of seating.
Salsa bar.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's a slim doorway but worth the amazing food.“

“I loved it so much!!!

I recently took my wife back to her hometown in La Puente, and we stopped at Snap E Taco in nearby Covina. The food was excellent — flavorful, fresh, and made with care. The portions were generous, and everything tasted just like authentic home-style Mexican food should.

The service was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere had that classic local charm that makes you feel right at home. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why small, family-run spots often beat the big chains.

If you’re in town and craving Mexican food, Snap E Taco is definitely worth the stop. We’ll be back next time we’re in town!“
