50 Best Mexican Restaurants near La Crescenta Montrose

“Small hole on the wall. We were driving by and needed a quick bite to eat. Bathrooms are located outside and a key is needed. They were clean too. The restaurant is pretty small but you can see the kitchen from the front. Service was quick and attentive. Prices were a bit high but what isn't nowadays. I got the chile rellenos and they were very good. The salsas served had good flavor and the taquitos plate was my favorite! So good. We all left happy and full.“

“Just tried MIRATE Restaurant the food was amazing! Definitely worth checking out if you love great flavors.“

“Excellent dining experience with unique menu options. The wine and cocktail list was great great, but the one mocktail we ordered was somewhat one dimensional, just sour. Overall, a nice delicious outing with an enjoyable indoor-outdoor feel. “

“atienden muy bien los meseros son muy serviciales todos y la manager pregunta si todo esta bien estan al pendiente en todo momento muy buen servicio“

“I just had lunch with my two daughters, ages 12 and 15. It was our first time here.

We ordered three plates: two 3-birria taco combo plates and one order of vampire tacos with chorizo. We tried all the sauces that came with them, along with a 24-ounce horchata.

My girls and I are usually pretty loud. We talk. We’re animated. We gush over the food.

But when we ate these tacos, we ate in silence because the food was that good. To speak would have taken us out of the moment. So we said nothing. We just sat there, lost in our own thoughts, luxuriating in tender meats, spicy red sauce, and complex flavors.

This is how you get tweens to enjoy family time: really good tacos.

And guess who told me about this place? The 12-year-old. Apparently, it’s trending. I recommend it too.“

“Love the Place, Will join again“

“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 decided to visit this place because the photos of the handmade tortillas caught my attention, and I’m so glad I did. The food was excellent! I’m visiting LA and ended up coming here for breakfast three mornings in a row. I tried several different items from the breakfast menu, and every single one was delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. I’ll definitely be back on my next trip to Los Angeles!“

“Yummy food. Good customer service. Very nice people“

“Tacos and Kabobs has become one of my favorite places for carryout. The staff is always genuinely friendly and welcoming, and the food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and delicious. You can tell they take pride in what they serve.

One thing I really appreciate is how hard they try to accommodate any changes or dietary requests you may have. They listen, they care, and they do their best to make sure your order is exactly the way you want it.

I usually get my food to go, but they also have a clean, well-lit dining room with TVs if you want to sit down and enjoy your meal there. Good food, good people, and the kind of neighborhood place you’re happy to support.

Highly recommend Tacos and Kabobs. Give them a try. I think you’ll be glad you did!“

“I'm from out of town, but have come here twice now. Incredible food each time, and such friendly staff. The vibes are immaculate, too. Salsa & guacamole are both on point.I would be willing to throw hands for the carnitas, perfectly seasoned and crispy on the edges.“

“For those of you who have stood in line for their brunch, do not, I implore you, do NOT sleep on their dinner. Their evening fare is nothing short of a Song of Ice and Fire, if the fire were the perfectly balanced heat of their taquitos, and the ice, the tempered sweet bite of Ryan’s cocktails. The service, flavors, and vibe of this restaurant put all others to shame. And yes, I am drunk, and you could be too, if you had the courage, nay, the audacity, to find yourself bereft of plans on a Wednesday night and think to yourself, “Well, First of All…”“

“Love the people and food is amazing!!“

“exelente servicio y muy rica comida“

“Delicious food and drinks!!!“

“We have been going to Don Cuco’s for many many years!!! Family celebrations are always fun & tasty !!“

“First off, Terrific Customer Service at the Long Beach, CA location! The manager is amazing. So helpful with recommendations when asked, provides great detail, and is so enthusiastic about the incredible menu. Tocaya at 2nd & PCH has lovely, fresh, bright, clean food. The menu is unique and flexible. You get to choose the protein you want, the cheese you want, whether or not you want your dish to be vegan. So many options and super tasty food! My friend really enjoyed the VEGAN Asada & VEGAN Tinga tacos. I loved my Taco Salad with gluten-free, battered & fried mahi-mahi (that was so, so scrumptious) with Queso Fresco. I swapped and got the cilantro lime dressing (instead of the roasted poblano dressing) and my bowl of goodies was delicious. We shared and relished the Street Corn and the (VEGAN) Queso & Chips. We were both shocked to find the Queso was VEGAN; it’s that good! We also tried the vegan Crema, just to check it out — SO yummy. AND the obviously homemade chips were mouthwatering. Tocaya has seasonal Sangria selections, beer, and other interesting drink options. They’ve got indoor and outdoor seating… and I recommend you head over soon!“

“This was our first visit to El Metate. I was impressed with all the menu options. The service was excellent , and the food was delicious.“

“Fantastic food and great service“

“I was told this place was good by a group of friends. I was invited to a Torta with Carne Asada and was very impressed by the quality. It's very authentic food , flavor packed Mexican food a 2am hits different.
I definitely want to go back!
The area is a little tight and parking isint the best and it is a little sketchy at night around there“

“Absolute home run, what a gem. Will be back ASAP…one of the most amazing meals of my life. Of the thousands of tacos I’ve probably eaten, these were my favorite. No lie, no exaggeration. Almost a religious experience…SO good.

Ruby took great care of me, had great recs. Really fantastic choices on the tap list, and had a jalapeño slaw fish, ribeye, pork belly. Each unique and exploding with flavor. Asked for hot sauce with the order then never touched it…that may be a first. Met the owner, and 2 other employees…great people.

Guys, you crushed it. Can’t wait to come back, everything about this meal was beyond top notch. I loved it so much. Thank you!“

“Perfect for these dog days of Summer.“

“I've been to many burger spots in my life, but I've never had a burger as good as the Chef Burger from Burger Bun. I'm talking perfectly seasoned beef, and delicious (but not overpowering) burger sauce, crisp vegetables, and the brioche bun is spectacular. There's no burger in Glendale that even comes close. The wings are also some of the best I've ever had and the homemade sauces are so, so tasty. The fries are perfect, and they have amazing milkshakes too. To top it all off, the service is ridiculously good, and the prices are fair. This is my go-to spot in town.“

“Really great taco spot with a cool outdoor taco truck vibe. The tacos were delicious, some of the best I’ve had, and definitely hit the spot. They make the tortillas fresh right on the spot, which makes them even better. My friends and I all really enjoyed it. Definitely worth checking out!“

“Best Mexican food I've ever had.The Chile Colorado is amazing. As great as the food is, the service is even better. Lourdes is a gem. She is the definition of great service. Friendly, attentive and knows the large menu very well. Look no further for than Amigos Restaurant for great Mexican food.“

“I live about 90 minutes away from Ernie’s but it is probably my favorite restaurant. Anytime I am in the area, like after a day at Universal, it is my go to place to eat. I just love it!!! Can’t wait for my next visit.“

“We've been meaning to go here since it opened and finally made it with a family member visiting from Michigan. Everything was fantastic including the drinks, seafood, and chips/guac. We plan to visit more frequently! The best part of our dining experience was when the staff reminded to go outside at the perfect time to view the lunar eclipse!“

“Love this place. Treat you right“

“So delicious!!! The cheese Asada tacos are the besttt!! The quesadillas too yumm!!!

Can’t go wrong with anything you order honestly. Ask for the carrots they’re delicious. They do the work with quality and good stuff cause I usually get a tummy ache from Mexican food but from here I don’t. Totally worth coming here for tacos.

They only offer outdoor seating so make sure to go at a cool time. Staff is great and they’re quick even when they’re busy.“

“We decided to take the train to Hollywood and this popped on our radar. It did not disappoint. The food was on point.The drinks were spectacular and the service was great. Definitely looking forward to sharing the next experience with our close friends.“

“Hola buenas tardes, para agradecerles su donativo en especie de las 10 cajas de pañales y las toallitas húmedas, Dios les bendiga grandemente primeramente en sus vidas y en su negocio. Reciban nuestras oraciones desde la Casa de Descanso del Anciano de Poncitlán.“

“Just had my first ever burrito at Mixto and it is fantastic. Support local restaurants if they are still open <3 #vegan #silverlake“

“The Giant Margarita, and the Big Bertha Wet Burrito are Great recommendations.“

“I just woke up feeling like I wanted a taste of Latin America and could think of anything else that I could just walk and offer me a great taste and sidewalk porche to enjoy my meal. I just had my first experience here. I tried the fish and shrimp taco. So fresh, and I could feel the authenticity of the flavors. The cashier is precise and thoughtful :) As a Brazilian, I could feel the vibe of great daily Latin food.“

“Great food and service. Salsas were amazing.“

“Authentic Mexican food. Best Magaritas along with good music and service“

“Visiting Pasadena for a gaming convention and Grabbed some late night Al pastor and also some chicken and potatoes tacos and with their salsas…. It is heaven. Doin’ it right, here in Pasadena at Colorado and Altadena“

“🙂👍 Sergio does a great job!“

“Love Taco Social! What really stands out is the variety of tacos. There are so many different flavors and unique combinations that everyone can find something they like. The delicious tacos alone are good enough to give this place 5 stars, but the amazing sides and full bar really put it over the top! The food is flavorful, the atmosphere is casual and fun, and it's a great spot to go with friends or family. Definitely worth checking out!“

“The white breast meat was very flavorful. The beans was cooked to perfection. The flower tortillas were very soft. The service was definitely exceptional and if I’m ever in like in Hollywood area again, I think I’m try it out.“

“I ordered a vegan burrito they made me a chicken burrito. which I tool some.bites until realizing it's real f*$*' chicken. never agin“

“Very good food and friendly service“
