Best places: Mexican restaurants in El Monte, United States

👍 Some of the best fish tacos in the area! $1.75 special on Wednesday. Other mars are good too but a lil pricey at $2.50 each but they have really good asada nachos. Pretty fast service even when busy, which is most of the time.

Laid-back outpost offering classic homestyle Mexican staples from tacos to quesadillas.

Unassuming counter-service cafe dishing up burritos & quesadillas, plus soft drinks.

👍👍 Food was excellent. I had the wet burrito and my wife had the taquitos plate. Service was excellent and the Owner was very friendly. Definitely coming back to try the menudo which by the way is served daily and you can bring your own pot for them to fill up and take home👍🏼

👍👍 Al Pastor burrito was very good! Small restaurant with limited seating but would recommend dining in because the food was great hot / fresh

👍👍 Best seafood I've had in a long time. Very rich in flavor! Cooked to perfection. Will definitely go back.

👍 Grilled Octopus (Pulpo a la parrilla). Served with rice, salad, and chopped potatoes. Spicy sauce in sauce jug. The food was pleasant, but I wish my dish was served with the creamy sauce pictured on their menu. Nevertheless, the spicy sauce was a great compliment to the meal. The octopus was tender...

Casual chain with a seafood-focused menu of classic Mexican food, plus beer & cocktails.

Low-key Mexican landmark featuring classic dishes, a happy hour & TVs tuned to sports.

👍 I've known about Tacos Del Chino since El Chino used to have his taco truck in South El Monte. The service here is always 5 stars. Everyone is super friendly and always joking around. The place doesn't look like much but the food is definitely good and affordable. Cooking time can range from really...

👍👍 Authentic delicious epic Mexican food. The burrito de mole has a great flavor, not too strong. It was filled with chicken, rice, and mole. Portion is big enough for two people, will not disappoint. The fish taco was really good, it had a great flavor to it. The sauce they put on the taco really co...

👍👍 Food is delicious, tortillas are handmade. Bread is made inhouse, can't beat it... The only thing bad about this place is that the building itself is falling apart and they don't do much to keep it up. Makes the place look dirty. If you don't mind that then I recommend this place.

Unfussy, family-run Mexican restaurant specializing in ceviche & other traditional seafood dishes.

🫤 My rating is not because of the taste of their food, rather their pricing. I have been coming here for years and yes we are seeing an inflation on everything but $16 for some chilaquiles with about 2 oz of asada? If I'm paying class B or A environment plus good food then it wouldn't matter. I can go...

👍👍 This buffet is better then any other buffet i been to just like moms home made food mexican food ....😋😋😍

Contemporary, casual local chain serving Mexican & American dishes, including breakfast.

😐 This is a small booth. There was outdoor space for you to sit down and eat. However, most people just came and pick up the food to go. I saw people bring their own pot to pick up to go food. I did my research, and found that this place is one of the best places in Los Angeles for menudos. I was her...
