50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lake View Terrace

“Clean restaurant and friendly customer service. Food was made to order and was delicious. Authentic Mexican food. We had posole with homemade tortillas, torta de carne asada, enchiladas verdes and burrito de carne asada. Everything tasted delicious and recommend it.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place is wonderful ! It was so good guys ! Like so so so delicious. My parents are both Guatemalan and so going to check this place out was a must! It didn't disappoint! I really hope the community supports this business long term ! It's a gem. I ordered the garnachas and tostadas just like I would back in el rancho Dios bendiga este negocio not to mention service was good. Small little restaurant but delicious! Will be back“

“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.“

“Stopped by to get some late tacos. Pleasantly greeted by a very nice family, father, mother, sons and their daughter. Not only are they a very charming family, the food is great. So far I tried, Tacos de asada, al pastor and cabeza. Mulitas de asada, al pastor, vampiro de asada and a vampiro in a mulita de asada. I will definitely stop by again to try more items from their menu. They've gained a new customer.“

“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“

“Food is delicious! Been here twice and it doesn't disappoint Service is fast and efficient. Servers are attentive to their tables! Just amazing!Highly recommended for authentic Mexican breakfast, plus i love the music! Got to hear PXNDX! which is one of my favorite bands !“

“We liked it a lot! I went with my family, and all the dishes we ordered were very well served and delicious. We ordered birria, a fish fillet, some tacos, chicken fajitas and Menudo. Excellent service and the place is very cozy.I highly recommend this place!!“

“An absolute gem in Burbank! I was craving cafe de olla and chilaquiles, so my husband and I initially tried the restaurant down the street which has blown up on social media in recent years. With an hour and a half wait we headed over to Mex Cocina, and I'm SO glad we did! We have found a delicious spot in our new neighborhood and the staff made us feel right at home in a cozy environment. We'll definitely be returning with the whole family“

“This was our first time at this restaurant and it was very good. There was a wide variety of items on the menu, and it was difficult to choose because everything sounded so good. We decided on the enchiladas Suizas & quesadilla Lito with chicken, which were delicious. Our server was very friendly & attentiveand made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back to try more items on the menu.“

“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“

“We have been coming here for a couple months now and It has never disappointed! The chicken is soo good! I also get the Piña which is yummy. They were pretty busy this evening but the wait still wasn't long. The super sweet lady who's name i didn't get (blonde steaks in hair) offered us chips and salsa while we waited which was so nice. The best part is that everything is so reasonably priced! Love this place“

“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 :)“

“Our server Patty was upbeat! Rock vibe-fun spot with Mexican decor. They offer $5 happy hour beers 3-5 pm. Had the mole chicken enchiladas. So tasty! I could tell the chef really makes an effort. That matters to me a lot these days. Because so many don’t! Give it a try!Parking: Was a weekday dinner meal. Not crowded and right off the 5 fwy exit in Sunland.“

“I went there after 11 o clock to satisfy some late evening munchies and was psyched to find out all their baked goods are gluten free, and they use organic ingredients. For a gf cupcake it was especially rich and satisfying! I should have taken a picture but I was busy!“

“Super cute restaurant good luck finding parking though. I was lucky and got there as someone was leaving. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is very comfortable. We got the tacos al pastor and they were delicious, so much flavor. The enchiladas were delicious too, I just didn’t really like the rice but I’m picky with Mexican rice. Can’t wait to visit again and try something else on the menu! Oh! And the chips and salsa were fresh! My mom loved the salsa and she’s usually picky too lol“

“I order tamales from Me Gusta all of the time at our Ventura Farmers Market. They are the best! My favorite is chili cheese but they all are so good. Serves hot or coldVegetarian options: Chili cheese are the bomb but they also have bean and cheese, pineapple, strawberry, etc“

“Wow I am so happy I found this restaurant. Doesn't seem like much from the outside but oh my goodness it is nice on the inside. I love the vibes. I've gone in this shopping center plenty times and I have never seen this place and I thank yelp for making it known! Wow there food is so good! Super authentic and tastes homemade. Reasonable prices. Huge portions and super filling food. I want to try more!!! Servers were great!! They are super understaffed here and were working their butts off! Making sure we were okay, getting us drinks very fast, making sure to recognize that we were waiting and rushing to get to us despite it being busy! and it still didn't take as long as other places where they do have the staff!! Also they are super friendly! It seemed like many people who were there were friends with the servers! And that says something about the service! I loved how cute the inside of this place looked and honestly I wasn't expecting it to look this way from the outside. It is much bigger than it looks on the outside and way nicer too. Comfy booths and big tables for large parties! I am happy I came here and I am so happy this exists in SCV! I feel like we don't have that many good authentic Mexican restaurants, and this is definitely one of the good ones! So excited to come back and taste more of the food!“

“This place is quality! The food is well prepared and always delicious. You can tell a lot if thought goes into the menu.…they do not skimp on the shrimp in the shrimp burrito/shrimp bowl. The avocado salsa is so fresh and has actual avocado in it. Breakfast burrito is amazing/huge, but won’t leave you feeling gross. Highly recommend.“

“Literally a delicatessen. Bring your Mom cause she doesn't want to cook, invite your Grandma I wish I was able to. Delicious, just as Mothers family's kitchen. NOPALESon pointVegetarian options: Nopales a la MadreKid-friendliness: Healthy good food to strengthen these muscles. ?“

“The food here is unmatched. The best tacos and salsa around by far. The service? Not super amazing, but it made for a more intentional dining experience, and I don't mind that. Truly though, the steak tacos set a new bar for me. Amazing work in the kitchen. Great cocktails too!“

“This is a hole in the wall restaurant that seems to be a neighborhood favorite. There are not many tables inside, but they have a lot of covered seating outside behind the restaurant. Parking is limited, but we found some nearby at a strip center. 4/5 - Complimentary Tostadas: Served with pico de gallo, salsa and bean dip. Really good. 4/5 - Horchata 4/5 - Eggs, Beans & Carne Asada: My husband requested this (since it's not on the menu) and they made it for him. He was very happy. 2/5 - Beef Machaca: The beans and rice and tostada were really good. I didn't love the machaca though. The food came out to 3.5 stars. Service was friendly and attentive, so I will bump it up to 4 stars. I think this is probably a good lunch / dinner location.“

“Honestly probably the best mariscos I’ve had! I love the aguachile! The mariscos pieces are always plump and big, they really don’t skimp out on it. The owner is so friendly and willing to help you decide what to get based on what you like. The vibe is really chill with music always playing and tables to sit and eat at. Such a fun vibe. But the best thing about this place is probably the spicy red sauce. It goes good on everything! Seriously the star of the place, I crave it randomly all the time. Can’t recommend more!“

“This place was a 10-10!! I had to go to La to do a quick run and I seen this was a hotspot ! We'll let me tell you the birria plate which idk why it didn't post when I posted a picture of it but it was so good and the ceviche tostada also good they only accept cash just a heads up ! The service was a 10/10 as well it's a small spot max maybe 20-30 people can fit in there maybe less but overall I would definitely come back here again !“

“I absolutely love this place. I love their tacos. The nice thin tortilla with perfectly fried shrimp. Everything about this place is awesome. And the fact that it's a family owned business is even better. I love it can't get enough.“

“Best breakfast burrito I've had in quite some time. Best part was that they let me sub potatoes for the meat. The burrito came out quickly after ordering at the counter. The lady who helped me was incredibly nice and offered some extra salsa (the spicy salsa was perfect). The burrito had tasty potatoes, fluffy eggs, and a good portion of beans, wrapped in a warm, flakey tortilla. Don't miss it!“

“I've been coming here since I was a kid but the new owner Marcos is definitely the coolest man/owner! He treats everyone like family and I love that he personally walks my order out to me every time. We chat like we've always known each other I think it's awesome! Highly recommend eating here! I eat here once a week and bring it on the golf course with me every weekend!“

“I’ve been looking for a delicious torta for a long time and I finally found the place! If you like fresh delicious food this is the place. The service is excellent, they answered all my questions and explained their menu. I created my own sandwich with some recommendations from Johnathan who was awesome. This is by far the best torta I’ve ever had! It was so good I was back a couple days later for another! Wifey ordered tacos and they were amazing as well. The flavor and freshness of the meat is what sets them apart. No old meat being served here. Definitely my go to spot for delicious fresh food!“

“I can't believe I waited so long to try this place. It's the perfect little taco stand with fresh ingredients, great salsa/guacamole and delicious jamaica! Great option for a quick lunch or picking up a quick dinner to bring home to the family. The guys behind the counter is super friendly and helpful too.“

“Absolutely the most delicious, freshly made Mexican food . You cannot go wrong with anything in the menu . I love trying something new and I also have my favorites . Great flavors. I have hired them for catering as well for my daughter’s sweet 16 and my wedding . Highly recommend. Staff is amazing !“

“the customer service here is phenomena! and the food and drinks were delicious! There was no long wait, but once we got seated the place got really packed. & i can see why people continue to return to this place. Definitely recommend this place and will be going again. I also got free dessert for my birthday“

“I visited Antonio's today to cater for my mom's party, as she had a craving for Mediterranean cuisine. Despite it being Super Bowl Sunday and the restaurant bustling with activity, the staff graciously guided me through the catering menu. They even went above and beyond to accommodate a last-minute order, with the cook agreeing enthusiastically. Despite the rush, they ensured my order was delivered promptly. The food, as always, was superb, leaving everyone thoroughly satisfied. I opted for the special for 10 people and added an additional 10 skewers for an extra $50. A big thank you to the entire team at Antonio's for their exceptional service and delicious food.“

“Literally some of the best service I've received during a late work lunch. Came in and Abraham explained anything I had questions on and recommended the best pina I've had in a long time. Overall, great food and great service, definitely coming back. The food wasn't super heavy, and was very flavorful. The number 5“

“Tacos are delicious. Love the options they have. I will suggest getting the sampler order to see which tacos you like the most. All their tacos are really good, but my favorite is chicharron, bistek en salsa roja, calabacitas, and chile relleno. The agua fresca de melon is really good, too. Don't forget to request salsa on the side. It is really good and spicy.“

“A very positive dining experience. The staff is awesome and the food delicious. From your first visit you're treated like an old friend. They even remembered my name after my first visit. Don't miss out, give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. “

“This place hits the sweet spot in your tummy. I was craving Mexican but not just any Mexican food. I was craving good quality Mexican food. When I have a craving for high quality authentic Mexican food I know to come here. It was 15 minutes before they were closing and I was wondering if it was yo Kate to order for pickup. They said no problem and that it would be ready in 15 mins. So my husband and I hopped literally across the street to go pick it up as soon as we had orders it. We got to sit and chat for a few since we got there early and before we knew it we had our food and were walking right back across the street to eat in the comfort of our homes. The food was delicious as we already know it to be. Our favorites we ordered were the: 7 Mares dinner (7 Seafood) (YUM!!!) Shrimp Burrito dinner (My husband's favorite) Shrimp Enchiladas dinner (YUM!!!) 4 Shrimp Tacos So good every time! It doesn't hurt that the young owners are so sweet and lovable!“

“The menu offers a big variety of dishes that really taste like the way done in mexico. The prices are very reasonable. Indoor seating is a bit too claustrophobic for me so I preferred the tables outside which are next to heaters, so it was a comfortable dinner.“

“Every time I go, I enjoy my food. Brought three friends, and they loved it. Service is always on point from door to taking your order. I don't live close by, so I drive from Southbay for good eats, lol. I'm definitely coming back with other friends.“

“I'm so happy we found this place. Love this style of Mexican restaurants. Staff was so friendly as soon as we arrived, and I loved the look and feel of this classic style that is well kept. We had steak and shrimp fajitas, shrimp mole enchiladas, Fiesta platter and pina coladas, all so delicious! Clean, friendly staff, great service, good prices, and portions. Plenty of parking, would recommend ?!“

“Found this on a search, the food off the truck was off the chain. From tacos with guacamole plus everything else to vampiro the taste was delicious & authentic. As we drove up we witnessed customers eating on their vehicles, so when in Rome do as the Romans. I haven’t eaten on a car since my teenage years, and there I stood at 60 being the old wild one of the bunch. Excellent food, a must try for both residents & travelers!!!“

“Had a birria wet burrito that was fantastic. Good portion, great meat with very little fat. Also had a hard shell asada taco that was great. The best part was the salsa - both different from the standard taco shop places and both were 10/10. I would buy a big container for the home of both. The green was thin, smokey, a little sweet and a lot of cumin taste - so good. I love spicy and the red was very very spicy but didn't sacrifice any flavor to get there. Go here, keep this local family business growing - it's a gem.“

“If I can say something is …. The birria tacos and the side of consomé to die for!The tacos , yum, yum!!!!The torsta wow just delicious! We just ordered Uber eats from there and our kids and ourselves love it! We will order again in the near future!“

“After ordering here a few times I think the cooks need to learn that Mexican food is not soggy and wet. I don’t think I’ve ordered one thing from this place that didn’t fall apart on first pick up whether it tacos quesadilla burrito doesn’t matter, but I have to say the taste is good and the portion is good.“

“I’m a middle aged white foodie, traveled the world and mexico, and yep, this place knows what it’s doing! (If I may humbly say so ;) The green sauce on the tacos carnitas (the only thing I had), shows they understand authentic Mexican cooking. Lovvve that. Like this flavor is what you’d find IN mexico.Only thing I prefer is the carnitas more pulled vs big chunks but that’s splitting hairs. And the guy who owns it or at least works there is a genuine sweetheart.I have a nearby storage space so I’ve had to explore the area for food. What a gem discovery??“

“After Universal Studios we wanted to eat some tacos. We found this place. It was late and we where a group of 10. There was no room indoors since there's only booths inside so we sat outside in the patio area. The waitress was quick on bringing the outdoor heater to warm us up. We ordered tacos and a cup with corn on the cob. The food was authentic and tasted like it should :)“

“Workers are so nice and friendly the time i was there i saw them help many customers with orders, as well and the place is always clean, and don't let me get started on the food definitely will become a regular it's so so good and they have great service fast service may I add im always in and out of there within a couple minutes definitely would recommend for other to come and try this place !!!“
