50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Century City

“Tocaya Century City is beautiful! For our lunch, we got a simple three taco sampler, which is great for one person to try all the tacos or for two to share as a snack. We also checked in on Yelp and got a free chips and salsa, which was delicious! Service was great as the server shared more info on the taco sampler and our food came out pretty quickly. Ambiance has always been nice at this location as it is part of Westfield Century City, so it's a nice place to stop and get some food while shopping!“

“The food is delicious, good music and really nice place“

“It’s the best seafood in LA!“

“After visiting Hijo de su Madre several times for their award winning and phenomenal Yucetecan vegan greatness I was quite excited when I saw on their IG they were adding a vegan burger menu. It just launched a few days ago, but is already my favorite burger (got the Phat Hass Burger) in LA and I have had them all. Even more profoundly, they have the best loaded frots I’ve ever had by a landslide! Run don’t walk to try the new menu (will be on the delivery apps soon!) and then keep coming back because everything on the menu is perfection. 5 stars!!!“

“Exquisito todo y el servicio excelente yo si regreso“

“Best fish tacos on the east side. Could eat them once a week. Made to order from a taco truck so sometimes you have to wait a bit. Wish they were there later but great for an early dinner or lunch. My favorite is the recommended shrimp and cheese one and soft shell crab“

“From start to finish Teddy’s was a 10/10. I got the deluxe plate and was not disappointed in the least. Everything was made to perfection and the consume was wonderful. The salsa had the perfect kick to it and you can’t beat the staff and ambience. I unfortunately am only visiting the area so I’ll just have to dream about eating their tacos on repeat.“

“This Mercado has so much to offer. Your pallet will not be disappointed with the many different restaurants you'll fine in here from some of the best see food to Oxacan food. Artesanias de Mexico are one thing you'll be thrill to find here.“

“Must try if you are looking for delicious authentic birria. It's a cute-humble family owned establishment that serves very tasty dishes. My favorite was the consomé with tacos dorados. I do wish they had a spicier red sauce but overall was great. It hit the spot on a Sunday afternoon. I especially liked the fact I could dine-in instead of the typical food truck. I can't wait to come back and try more items. Thank you familia Castro.“

“Just stumbled onto this place, what a Mexican taco place should be. A simple hole in the wall with some phenomenal excellent food. Coming from a Mexican I will tell you that this is good authentic Mexican food. Their tacos are Stupendous‼️ Best place for Mexican food on Melrose.“

“This was the first time bringing my mommy to Gracias Madre , she loved it . Food as always amazing , staff amazing, Something that was good but could of been a bigger portion was the L.A Princesss drink, kind of small for the price . But very delicious“

“I ate here for the first time today I had a burrito and my friend had a quesadilla. The food was delicious it had that real authentic Mexican taste &’ and you get a good portion for the price you pay they have good salsas overall everything was amazing. Their customer service was astonishing they made me feel at home super friendly staff they go above and beyond for their customers I will recommend this place to people from now on I can’t wait to come back :) such a hidden gem in LA best of all it’s Latinx-owned!“

“This is my favorite vegan Mexican spot. They have the best food and it’s fairly affordable considering it’s vegan. I always get the Al Pastor burrito, cause it’s packed with flavor. They have other amazing items, but I tend to stick with my go to option that I listed. Overall, I am never disappointed when I go here, cause for the price the burritos are huge.“

“Okay first, the salsa with the chips and salsa they serve is SO good. Spicy, but with flavor. The vegan quesadilla and the Beyond burrito were also amazing. All the veggies in them were super fresh and cooked perfectly. Also, get a black iced tea. Maybe the friendliest service as well. 100% recommend this place.“

“ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!! One I was able to schedule a large party of fifteen 3 days prior, where I wasn’t able to elewhere. Others restaurants required someone to call me back, a contract etc. Sasual took my large party not once but twice that week. You really kept me out of a bind where I was hosting a group of executives from Boston and New York. The service and food was out of this world. I moved to California 6 years ago and this was hands down THE BEST Mexican food I’ve eaten since I’ve lived here. Our servers were so accommodating and fast, I don’t know how you did it with such a large party. It was so good we came back a second night the same week. You are now my favorite so I will be back with the wife and I will recommend to every person who asked me. I get a lot of people who ask, where should they go to eat and this will be my #1 recommendation. Thank you Sausal.“

“The menu is a delightful exploration of fresh, high-quality ingredients prepared with exceptional skill and care. From the succulent lobster tacos to the tender octopus, and the delightfully refreshing ceviches, each dish is a testament to the chefs' mastery of combining bold flavors and textures. While the prices may be somewhat steep, the quality of the food justifies the cost.“

“One of the best Mexican spots in the states!Been blown away by their chilaquiles & machaca burrito! Literally the best chilaquiles I’ve had in the states and I’ve had over 30 different spots from, Cali to New Mexico to Texas.Service is great as well! Highly recommend if you’re looking for the highest of quality Mexican food.“

“Good food. I just don’t like that aguas frescas don’t have free refills, besides that everything was great I will definitely recommend to friends and family.“

“This was easily one of the best dinner experiences of my entire trip to California.The queue is long, but who cares? Just stand in line and salivate at the thought of insane tacos, or perhaps a stupidly large burrito that can feed a family of three. Or you know, just get there earlier. The servers were super cheery and helpful as well, which is always a pleasure.The food is so flavourful, it even managed to retain its flavour when cold! Did I mention the food is amazing? It's amazing.“

“Very good salsa selection, which generally correlates to pretty good food (as in this case). Had the Roadside Burrito with fish and it was excellent. Family had the the hot chicken tacos, chicken jalisco tacos, and fish and shrimp tacos. All were very well received. I'd definitely check this place out if I were in the area. Miles better than anything near Universal.“

“Some Of the best tacos I’ve ever had! Yum!!! The chorizo tacos were fabulous and the guacamole was amazing! Staff was friendly also! I will definitely be coming back!“

“I tried out Playita Mariscos for lunch. I've been driving by for a long time. It is owned by the Guisados people so I expected the food to be good. I ordered the Campechana Mixta. The cold tomato broth was fantastic. I really like the raw shrimp, crab and fish. The Octopus was a little tough for my taste. They have a parking lot, which on Sunset, is a plus.“

“First time going. Went for a late lunch. Staff was very friendly & the food came out fast. This has an elevated or more modern vibe compared to other "traditional" Mexican restaurants with familiar menu items (tacos, chips&guac, street corn) but several premium items (tomahawk steak, lobster bomba rice) or unique options (jimca salad, shrimp chile) as well. I like the small plates and tacos but also appreciate the large plates for dinner. They also have mocktails which are fantastic- we had spicy passionfruit. Wel will ne neck amd the atmosphere is lively from watching sports to a date night.“

“Delicious Carnitas, meat is tender, flavorful, zesty, mouth watering! This is my favorite Mexican restaurant! Plus, the service from all is a perfect 10“

“We held a Wedding Rehearsal dinner in the Clark Oswald Room. The room was perfect, the staff were wonderful, and the food was beyond excellent. Cocktails top notch too. Everyone left very full and happy!! Highly recommend for your special occasion!!“

“Excellent food! So happy we found this place. Staff is great and they offer indoor/outdoor seating. Great selection of coffee, drinks, baked goods. Yummy and fresh Mexican fusion menu, delicious breakfast offerings as well. Street parking, small below ground lot and small parking lot.Vegetarian options: You can make most things veggie with easeWheelchair accessibility: If you have wheels you can easily enter and exit“

“Food was great our server Dominique was great!“

“Very friendly staff delicious food“

“Delicious food and drinks“

“Vegan lasagna was extremely hot, very fat and quite liquid - I’ve left 1/3 of the dish as it was just sauce. My non-vegan partner was upset. I’ve asked for piece of bread to put this sauce on top and got a think slice of back side ‘cabbata’ - tasted glutenfree (I’m not) full soaked in vegan butter … meh.Vegan cakes are great and the fire place outdoor seating.Proper food is a no. Better go to Asian place.“

“First tacos in LA and these didn't disappoint! Al pastor tacos were really delicious and served with great showmanship. Great selection of self serve toppings. Tacos were 2.50 each. There's a big line but it moves fast and there are a few stools around a long table to eat at. Highly recommend!“

“have you tried oaxacan food in LA? yagul cafe in santa monica prides themselves in serving authentic oaxacan food just like they serve it at home. it is a small, casual, family style restaurant that makes you feel welcomed when you walk in. to be honest i dont know much about oaxacan or even mexican food too much so I was excited to try out what they recommended! hope that I can describe the flavors better as i learn more about the cuisine! burrito banādo ($15) | 4.4/5 i must say i used to not be a fan of mole, but this burrito changed my mind. this burrito was bathed in their house made mole coloradito, it was savory yet sweet, and slightly smoky - just delicious! i chose cecina as my protein and that was super flavorful and juicy as well. the mole was so good i scraped the plate! definitely one of my top few burritos and i typically don't even like wet burritos! chilaquiles al campo w/ chorizo ($15.75) | 4.1/5eggs scrambled with spinach, tomatillo sauce, carmelized onions and chorizo. the chorizo was flavorful and their tomatillo salso was pretty fire. house coffee ($4) w/ refills | 3.9/5piping hot coffee brewed with cinnamon. the cinnamon is subtle and doesn't punch you in the face while making its presence still know. the servers also come up to ask if you want to top up your coffee which is a plus! i dont really like brewed coffee but i do like the flavor twist overall, i really enjoyed my food and looking back I am actually craving the burrito right now. i don't usually comment on service, but the staff were super friendly and energetic! they also have a juice bar, smoothie menu, and a pretty extensive breakfast menu! i definitely want to come back and try more of their other entrees! metered street parking“

“Wow! Wow! Wow! ? Absolutely yes ?? The food is absolutely phenomenal. It’s is fresh, flavorful and vibrant. I tried most of the tacos and all of them are top tier!!! Customer service was refreshing and responsive!!!! HIGHLY HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS WONDERFUL SPOT.Vegetarian options: Cauliflower tacos are sooo delicious ?“

“Food was alright, i make better food at home) Got the OG burrito and wasnt impressed, the portions are average for the ridiculous prices being street vendor are crazy, the green sauce kinda made me go a star up. i love to be fair in my reviews and this is a bit over. Food price for a street vendor -1“

“Nice Mexican restaurant in the Los Feliz neighborhood in LA. The restaurant had great ambiance and attentive service. We had an assortment of vegan and vegetarian sides, including flautas (made vegan), beans, rice, and fingerling potatoes. The dessert options included vegan sorbets and vegetarian churros.Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options with a clearly labeled menu. Many of the Vegetarian items can be made vegan.“

“Muy rica la comida y excelente servicio“

“Excelente servicio y muy rica comida.“

“Really impressed with the food at this restaurant.. great flavors and simple menu items. I was a huge fan of the red salsa .. will definitely be asking for a bucket next of it next time. Fair warning the "black" salsa is HOT.. use with caution. Can't say much about the ambience since I ordered take out but the location is super cute! Lots of window shopping around the area.“

“SOOOOO soo good!! Always look forward to stopping by whoever the truck is at. Highly recommend the Classic burger and also the Chicken katsu sandwich. Thé gorgonzola on thé burger is DELICIOUS. The veggies are crisp and fresh. And the sauces are homemade, so so delicious. A MUST try“

“Food & service is always amazing! I left my wallet there & the staff helped me retrieve it when they were closed! They went above & beyond to help me -“

“Great tacos!!!! To be returning soon again....“

“Wow this place is amazing the food , drinks and service get a "20" Will definitely recommend ❤“

“Tuve la oportunidad de comer hoy en la ubicación en Burbank. Excelente servicio, comida y un gran ambiente. Manejamos de Menifee, solo para tener la experiencia de un gran platillo. Shoutout a José!! y todos los que nos atendieron. Ps: Menifee, sería una excelente nueva ubicación :)“

“Yo I've lived in sherman oaks for a long time and I cant believe I just found out about this place. I came with my friend for lunch and it was packed. The workers are really nice and I got recommended the torta and the lunch plates. The carne asada plate was fire and so was their horchata it tasted homemade not the powder kind that some places give. I'll def be backParking: 2 parking spots in the back“

“Nothing fancy, but excellent food and very friendly service!“

“I have been to so many restaurants in my short 23 years of life but I have to tell y'all that this is the #1 best restaurant I've ever been too! The food was soooo freaking delicious. The service was top notch. And the atmosphere was great. Everything was so tasty. I 100% recommend this place!!! The drinks were so good too!!“

“I personally had the best experience here with my family! The staff was so nice and accommodating we had 2 senior dogs that we needed to bring with us because they have heart issues and can't be left alone I had them in a HUGE stroller and the staff helped me so much and gave me no hassle in bringing them in the patio area. They gave us a spacious table like I requested and I loved it! The food was amazing! Huge compliments to the chef we did the 3 course lunch meal and it was perfect! We have an autistic child that usually hates eating everything and they made him a chicken quesadilla that he devoured! This was a huge delight and was very much worth it! They even have valet which made it extremely hassle free and accommodating. You should definitely check this place out the vibe, food,decor, and staff, are all perfect!“

“I don't even eat at gracis senor, but I am writing this review because there is a local law firm called Davis Wright and Tremaine that has been harassing the local taco vendors for the past few weeks in the Pacific Palisades. Apparently the law firm has delivered threatening letters to Gracias Senor (the daytime taco truck), as well as the nighttime pop-up tent-based taco vendors, and perhaps the other trucks as well. There are clearly a coalition of palisades karens who have nothing constructive to do with their time and therefore seek to destroy the hard work of local businesses, lessening the beauty of the Palisades in the process. These same anti-taco-truck karens are probably the same types of people who yelled at people for not taking covid vaccines two years ago: the type of people who thrive on the oppression of the free will of other human beings and live to control others, for it gives them a false sense of empowerment and meaning. These anti-taco karens would clearly like for every single establishment in the palisades to be bland, overpriced, licensed and regulated by some nonsensical city governing body, and close early. The good news is that for every one of the anti-taco Karens who seek to oppress the small business owners, there are twenty more people who support the taco vendors! Don't be intimidated by Davis Wright and Tremaine and the karen army.“

“So I'm a lil tipsy right now but wow. Quality Mexican food in a city saturated with it. The margaritas hit you pretty good and the flavor is amazing (the house margaritas beat A LOT of restaurants out there, and I'm a big margarita guy). Ordered myself the Tacos de Hongo, which were bomb of course, but also sampling my partner's Carnitas special as well as the upscale chips and salsa with guac was incredible. Marissa and Benjamin were very knowledgeable and friendly and are a great reminder as to why customer service matters. Loved the stories and laughs from both of ya! Thank you for the drinks, friendly atmosphere, and great celebration for Mother's Day with the cute roses. Cheers! ( and happy Mother's Day to you again Marissa! )“

“Adriana did an excellent job serving our table. The kitchen was backed up due to Mother's Day such that our entrees came out after a long period of time but the Restaurant manager did well by sincerely apologizing comping our appetizers and then also giving a complimentary dessert at the end of our meal.“
