Mexican Restaurants near Palos Verdes Estates

“We have eaten at Salsa Verde several times. The food and service were excellent each time. Sit in a window table for wonderful sunset views!Parking: There’s plenty of free parking both in front and also on the street behind the restaurant.“

“The food was good! The Service Greeter with a large tattoo across her chest may need to improve her greeting skills. I found her to be unpleasant. We were very pleased with our host. The ambience provides the perfect setting for an intimate celebration. Grand atmosphere...“

“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 atmosphere was good, we were able to get a table with no wait. Samuel provided the most welcoming and amazing service. He was positive, informative, polite, and ensured we were well taken care of. The food and drinks were tasty. With a service like his, we will definitely come back!“

“I love the vegetarian tacos here! Especially the calabacitas, frijoles y queso, nopales and the quesadilla! The corn tortillas are so fresh and taste great. I recommend the Jamaica to drink, it's authentic and not too sweet (def not the premixed kind full of sugar).“

“Forget the cold government building style lights… This place is absolutely amazing. I love San Pedro for many reasons. One of those is the authentic south of the border cuisine. Of all the places I’ve been, this is hands-down, the best. Best fish tacos, One or two extra? Yes, thank you, we can throw them in the box… best, shrimp taco, best asada burrito, El Salvadoran style pupusa, absolute fire. A bargain at twice the price. So atmosphere isn’t as dialed as the food, let’s be honest, typically restaurants get it the other way around. This is a five star mouth party, a foodie playground that is overlooked or passed by at your sad expense. Dude… fire.?“

“We had an outdoor reservation but it was a bit too cold so we asked for indoor and were offered to eat at the bar. Leo the bartender was great, as a matter of fact all the staff were very friendly ! Drinks were great, food presentation, taste and portions were all amazing! I had soup and Que-Sada taco my husband had fajitas salad. We really enjoyed our meal and always do at Vida.!!“

“Delicious authentic Mexican food, Great customer service!“

“good serving… nice staffs“

“I love the red onion If you don't get there as messials you just get like typical California Mexican food for white people but if you get the especials it's pretty good they local vibe of gray haired Hill people as I say is pretty epic You can run into your friends and chat“

“If you're looking for a fresh fruit dessert (especially after visiting Blue Salt Fish Grill) this is a great option! The Bionicos were fresh and tasty, the small was enough for 2 people, so share with a friend. I had a nice conversation with the young lady running the place with her family. This was my first time here and I will return again soon! So nice to have a bionico option in Torrance. The take credit cards. Definitely deserves the 5 star ratings.“

“What a great place, we flew in from Mexico & we felt like we didn't get enough Mexican food. So we came here & this place did not disappoint. We got chilaquiles, machaca and eggs, and huevos divorciados, and two cafe de hollas ? I got the huevos divorciados & would have liked them a bit spicier, but that's just me. The machaca and eggs might have been a little dry according to my husband, but delicious. The portions are pretty big, we took some chilaquiles home. The place is super welcoming & I loved all of their attention to detail. Great place to enjoy a wonderful breakfast.Vegetarian options: Lacto-ovo vegetarian friendlyWheelchair accessibility: First floor, wide space to maneuver between tables & chairs can be arranged for wheelchairs“

“ordered from the walk up window after scoping out the menu online. Their online ordering wasn't working. I ordered the Gyro Burrito because it looked so good in the picture. It took about 20 minutes for take out but everything is made fresh. It was one of the few times that l've ever gotten food that looked as good or better than the picture. The burrito is HUGE! I tried a bite & it tasted even better than it looked! Out of habit, I always get extra sauce in the side & their King sauce is like a Tahini type sauce only more complex & tastier. It really enhanced the flavors of everything, especially the gyro meat. Before I knew it, I had devoured the burrito & an entire cup of the King sauce. I'm definitely going back VERY soon & often!“

“My family loved this wonderful Mexican Restaurant that we found while exploring Manhattan Beach! I had the shrimp tacos, and they were perfect. The flavor was excellent! We also loved the salsa, chicken tortilla soup, and the tacos and enchiladas. The folks who run this restaurant are the most friendly and provide the most amazing service! We will definitely be back! Thank you Jose (the owner) and Rosario (our server)!!“

“best food in town Support Local Carson Buisness“

“I got there just before the dinner rush. The outside tables were filling up, and the bar was full. Great Service. The most amazing food. They gave complimentary homemade flour tortillas, butter, red salsa, and green avocado salsa. Wow best tortillas I ever had. Then finish off with the three most flavorful De Filet Mignon Tacos that just melted in my mouth. The meat is very tender, and the flavors are like a bite of heaven with every bite. JD the GM runs the place very well.“

“delicious authentic mexican food !! great prices, friendly staff.“

“Good service, good food and drinks.“

“The breakfast burritos here are my favorite! Maple habanero is SO good! :) I just wanted to write a review because I’ve been coming here for years now & the owners, employees, & food are the best in San Pedro. One of the owners even gifted me a shirt after noticing my consist business, how sweet!! I’ll definitely continue to tell others about this place & it will forever be my favorite breakfast spot!“

“Delicious food with large portions and excellent quality! The atmosphere here is very cozy and friendly. Almost feels like you’re dining in mom’s kitchen. There’s a nice seating area in the rear too that’s great for larger groups. I love this place!“

“Ordene los chilaquiles rojos con carne asada y huevos estrellados! Estaban deliciosos la mesera que me atendió muy eficiente con bueno modo y no se diga el señor que esta recibiendo ala jente el la puerta muy amable y muy servicial! 100% recomendado!“

“First time here after a concert at Sofi. Food truck opened late so we were able to grab late dinner. Great service. Since we were first time customer, they let us try their popular item. Not sure what is called but it's a fried corn tortilla with refried beans and meat. It was amazing! Their salsa is also spicy and delicious. We got birrira tacos, which was good, and the burrito is packed with refries beans and meat. I'm very picky when it comes to beans but these were my favorite. It's gooey and soft and perfectly seasoned. Would come again if I'm ever back in town.“

“Great atmosphere, clean, modern, outdoor and indoor settings.The drinks here are delicious, great appetizers but not much of a variety on the appetizers.Recommend you call in advance to book a table or the private room for a large group. Perfect for an after work social or first date. Would recommend sitting outdoors.“

“(Translated by Google) I love it, everything tastes very good, the birria, the menudo, the quesabirrias.... ? everything is delicious.They serve quickly and you can talk to save your order because everything ends early because of how delicious it is.(Original)Me encanta, tiene muy buen sabor todo, la birria, el menudo, las quesabirrias.... ? delicioso todo.Atienden rápido y puedes hablar para apartar tu orden porq todo se acaba temprano de lo rico que esta.“

“Great experience. Great service. Great atmosphere. Fast and convent. Remember to put money in meter. Parking enforcement is there especially around 9pm or right before. Don't have to pay after 9pm. They will ticket you at 8;58pm.Parking: In front of restaurant Remember to put money in meter“

“If you have savvy taste buds go here! Also most importantly...Vegetarian Friendly! The salsas taste spicy and the beans are very creamy and developed. I can't wait to try the bean burrito in different variations. I absolutely loved my time dining at Mr. Valdez. Thank You Staff for a great experience!Vegetarian options: The cook was very well versed with diet restrictions and took great care with my order. The beans are lard free. Yay!“

“FINALLY went to check this place out. Went right when they opened last Friday and there were already customers seated inside. The backyard area where they have their tables is bigger than I expected. Ordered their ceviche and tacos (gobernador and echilosos) which was pretty great, fresh and tasty. Parking can be hard because it's a neigborgood but we got lucky we found one couple houses down. I think you should defintiely come visit right when they open at 11am. They do zelle and cash as forms of payment.“

“good food, good value. enjoyed and glad I came“

“Great food, beans excellent.“

“Great food and service! I believe it's family owned and operated. Easy to miss, it's not a large restaurant and kind of hidden with surrounding businesses. The first time I had chicken tamales take out, delicious! Couldn't wait to go back. Next time,I had the combination of tacos, tamales, rice and beans. I get something different every time and have not been disappointed! Just writing this review makes my mouth water!“

“I stopped by this evening with my sister in law after a Dr. Appt down the street when putting gas I could smell the cooking. I ordered 3 tacos and champurado basic of asada my sister n law ordered 2 de tripas and 1 lengua and a large jaimica. Wow the food was really really delicious like it was made from your home kitchen very tasteful. The service was very fast and they were polite and helpful. I am definitely coming back even though I'm about 30 min away it's worth it. They are located on Redondo and Vermount Gardena.“

“Absolutely delicious and great service! You can pick two meats in a burrito which was music to my ears and my carne asada and el pastor burrito was amazing (and huge). If you are in the area, stop here, and apparently you can order ahead as well.“

“First time eating here was delicious ? great ? taste ? on my food tostadas de camarón ? where fire ?.. my boyfriend fish ? tacos ? where fire ? as well .. my shrimp ? cocktail ? was tasty ?… I would definitely recommend it .. there’s plenty of parking ?️ the agua fresca de jamaica so yummy ?…“

“Great, quick spot for Mexican food in Hermosa Beach! Got the Asada Nachos for only $11.50. The nachos came with plenty of meat, cheese, guacamole, and salsa. Some of the best nachos I've had in awhile and for a price you can't beat!“

“Finally tried this spot out a few months back and it's now a 3-4 visits/month kinda place for us. Food is fresh, hot, not greasy, and not over salted. Love their fresh corn tortillas, portions are solid, salsas are on point, and service is friendly and efficient!“

“Came here for the first time with my godbrother and family who come here all the time. Had told me to try the wings and shrimp quesadilla. O...M...G! DELICIOUS! The food was delicious and the service was great. We were a large party and everyone's order was correct. I was impressed. I will definitely be back!“

This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.“

Definitely recommend to anyone who wants fresh seafood that tastes delicious I also really like that it's a small restaurant and we try and support local Businesses .“

“Lo recomiendo, todo muy rico, super atentos.“

“Excellent service, good size burrito. Not too small and not too big. The only thing is I wish it had a just a little more bacon strip bits. I definitely reccomend this location for breakfast. It also had good coffee. Oh and hazelnut and French vanilla creamer, some breakfast locations don't carry them and I'm glad they did.“

“My wife and I love the Birria Ramen!! We come here on Wednesdays before going to Bible Study. It is a very small restaurant. Don't let that be a deterrant!!! The bowl is hearty and perfectly filling on a chilly evening. You can add a hot sauce if you lean toward spicing it up. There is a surprising amount shredded beef that completes the wonderful mixture!! The employees are kind and attentive.“

“The Menudo is very delicious and does not smell bad like in some restaurants, the quesadillas are very tasty, the truth is that the food is very tasty there; and the customer service is very nice, making you feel like family.Kid-friendliness: It is a family place suitable for children because of the quesadillas that are very delicious“

“Sweet hole in the wall place. Super friendly service. Fresh chips and super delicious salsa. Tacos al pastor were amazing- spicy and savory. At some places, beans and rice are an afterthought. Here they are a worthy side. It's not fancy, but this place is worth a stop!“

“Wet burrito with Al Pastor was enough for two people. Chips fresh and extra crunchy. Friendly and fast, looks like a favorite for locals.Parking: In residential neighborhood, but street parking is free.Kid-friendliness: Clean and bright dining space“

“In the search for the best fish taco in San Pedro, I discovered every Wednesday " The Parla" has one of the best fish tacos that will knock your socks off! " The BomB" The taco is large with a big piece of breaded fish that is cooked to perfection! its flavors are unbelievable with a crunch! each taco is only $1. 75. with about 2 or three, you will not be leaving hungry! In looking at all their selections, everything they have on the menu looked very delicious! All the service was met with a smile and they are very helpful! I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more of their featured dishes!“

“We walked in at lunch craving some good Birria. The place was not full for lunch. We were welcomed and promptly served. The menu here is diverse and authentic (pipian verde, mole, nopales, chorizo, etc).We saw Dos Tacos de Barbacoa con cabra and decided to order this for lunch. The goat barbacoa tacos were filled with meat- such a generous portion and it truly was Cabra! The flavours were authentic and the meat was delicate…beautifully done and so tasty! I loved the finely diced green chilies in this preparation. I’ve been craving an authentic Mexican sit down restaurant each time I visit here and I am glad I finally found one! Go check it out!Vegetarian options: Heathy vegetarian options for sure“

“Wonderful location with a beach view. Great fish tacos and Margaritas. The staff were very friendly. Can’t think of anything I would have changed.Kid-friendliness: Great options for my picky kids. Also right next to the beach so they could run around while we finished our meal.“

“Stopped in the area for a quick bite. I ordered 3 carne asada street tacos with onions & cilantro. The order process was quick since there wasn't anyone but a couple sitting in the place. It took roughly 4 minutes for me to get my tacos. It was really quick. I'd give the tacos 4/5. They satisfied my want for street tacos although the meat seemed a little dry. However, they did give me chips and the stuff that comes with birria, so eating the tacos with that was good! The ambiance was very casual. It looked cleaned in the restaurant and the bathrooms were also clean. I would come back here again if no other place was open to eat.“

“We were overwhelmed by how delicious our meals were that I forgot to take pictures! I ate the best carne asada torta of all time! The meat was so tender and the flavowas so spot on that I absolutely recommend everyone to try it. I was hesitant to order a torta with asada meat because you can usually expect the meat to be a bit tough or have a measly meat to bread ratio. Not the case here. I made sure to compliment the chef! We also ordered the asada taco and the Mexican pizza. We all loved our dishes. The staff were really sweet and attentive. They were so kind and made my 4 year old his own little quesadilla plate. The location is pretty small. Only about 3 main seating areas. They were really busy with takeout orders. Street parking is limited and is metered. Plan aheadParking: Metered parking. Limited street parking.“
