18 Best Mexican Restaurants in Monrovia

“The food is absolutely delicious! The presentation of the food on the plates are so beautifully set ! This is true Mexican style authentic to its cultural! The service is quick and with smile. Only wish this place was a much larger since there are people from all over coming to try this tasty food! Yesterday was my first time there. I ordered to go! Enchiladas with a fried egg on the side! It was the best I’ve had! I can actually taste the chicken. Other places I’m usually looking for the meat in my enchiladas! Hahahah I can’t wait to go back and try their breakfast French toast with potatoes and eggs and a large strawberry horchata! Or that delicious looking French roll with beans and chorizo and creme drizzled over it and some Mexican cheese slightly sprinkled on top!!! Yes I’m hungry now !!!! If you haven’t tried , you are definitely missing out on true authentic Mexican food! 🇲🇽“

“La Sexy Michelada is a delightful spot that truly captures the essence of a vibrant dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was lively and inviting. The service was top-notch, with our server Yareli going above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic meal.
We started off with the shrimp cocktail, which was fresh and flavorful, followed by the carne asada burrito that was hearty and satisfying. The fish tacos were a highlight as well, with perfectly cooked fish and a refreshing topping. The botana caliente added a nice touch, bringing a variety of flavors to the table.
And let's not forget the micheladas! They were simply outstanding—gorgeous presentations that were as delicious as they looked. Overall, La Sexy Michelada exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and an enjoyable dining experience!“

“Very comfortable place to be in. Everyone was relaxed and you could hear the staff in the kitchen communicating getting the orders out. They have good lighting, a larger modern menu board with a great selection. They had light hearted music playing and a big tv to watch the Dodger games. I was surprised to see Birria on the menu so had to get that for sure! I think I will may this my goto spot a couple days a week so I can eat better for less and no dishes to wash.“

“I have been coming here for over a year already. I don't know where the second nearest Baja Fresh is in the area. The one that I used to go to in Pasadena is closed.

I placed all my orders via the Baja Fresh apps. It gives me points for placing the order there. The food is always fast, and hot when I arrive. The dressing bar is plentiful, and the restaurant is very clean. Always appreciate the great service I receive from the cashiers.“

“My new fav! Soooo yummers! Can't wait to go back for more!“

“Super delicious amazing food and service is great“

“I love this place, the family is so incredibly nice.
I usually get a #5 beef/chicken combo, extra veg, teriyaki and curry sauce on the side. It's a lot of food so I try my best to eat half for 2 lunches. Their ice tea is good, most places tend to have a dish rag taste.ive been going there for over 30yrs and it's always the same delicious quality. Unlike fast food chains that charge more and more with quality dropping every year.

Vegetarian options: Good Been burritos and veggie Rice bowls.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“We live nearby, and this place has some of the best food. We eat here once or twice weekly. We LOVE the carnitas, Al pastor, and carne asada mini tacos, breakfast burritos, and even the occasional quesadilla. Their homemade salsas are fantastic! I recommend this place to everyone I meet who might be in the area! Easily some of the best street tacos in SoCal.“
