The 19 Best Mexican Restaurants In Los Angeles

"Right off the main drag in East Compton, Antojitos Los Cuates is known for tostadas, flautas, and pozole blanco, made with a savory clear broth instead of the usual red. This Jalisco-style restaurant is about the size of an average dining room, so if you eat inside you’ll feel like a guest of the family that runs the place. Which makes sense, because this is homestyle cooking at its absolute finest: Our favorite item is the incredible tostada mixta, which involves a special puffy tostada heaped with marinated pork cold cuts, cabbage, salsa, and queso cotija, though the tacos dorados with picadillo and mole enchiladas are commendable runners-up.

The 12 Best Restaurants In Compton

"Right down the street from El Tio Carnitas is this all-day Mexican restaurant, known for its tostadas, moles, and flautas. Antojitos Los Cuates is about the size of the average dining room, so if you eat inside you’ll feel like a guest of the family. The owner started out on a food truck and pivoted to this full-blown restaurant back in 2020. Our favorite order here is the tostadas de lomo, which comes piled high with juicy pork loin and refried beans. We also love their beef enchiladas covered in sweet mole that’s thick and nutty, but somehow subtle enough to let the other ingredients have some shine. Antojitos Los Cuates is also open for breakfast, so if you want a plate of chilaquiles or some in the eggs and chorizo you won’t have to make yourself, keep this spot in mind.

The Ultimate Guide to Mexican Antojitos in Los Angeles - Eater LA

"If you’ve been fortunate to have stopped by Ciudad Guzmán, nicknamed the “Athens of Jalisco” after its many native-born intellectuals, for an evening stroll, many would be easily persuaded by your rhetoric on the virtue of tostadas de pata, cueritos, and pork loin. Fernando Gonzalez Zuniga imports large tostadas raspadas from Ciudad Guzmán and cures his own pork skin, pig’s feet, and pork loin to top his formidable tostadas brushed with refried beans. The tostada is then decked with finely shredded cabbage, purple onions, tomato slices, and a light sprinkle of salty dried cheese straight from Ciudad Guzmán." - Bill Esparza

If you are looking for good homemade food...YOU must stop by. I had a tostada de cueritos (pickled pork skin) and it was delicious.the cueritos are not to vinegary, and they're soft and tender. The flautas de pollo (chicken taquitos) are really crispy, filled with tender chicken and covered with fresh shredded cabbage, radishes, tomato, and topped with a delicious tomato salsa. And, let's not forget the friendly wait staff. Pita is super friendly and treats you like a family.

I was totally in the mood for authentic traditional Mexican food no substitution allowed. First time at this place and I was not disappointed. I ordered to go. I ordered pozole, taquitos de pollo, and mole enchiladas. I was going to add pics but I was so hungry that I just tore it up. The small pozole was alot. The taquitos (4) were amazing, the enchiladas were delicious. My antojo for authentic Mexican food was satisfied. I will be back when that itch surfaces again.

A hole in the wall spot, but never judge a book by its cover their menu might look basic but their food is authentic in the Jaliscense style! I had the Pozole blanco with purple hominy (maiz). Very flavorful. My wife ordered the taco Dorado de requeson, flauta de pollo, and enchilada de mole and I tell you what, she loved each and every one of them! Oh yeah and they do serve beer in bottles!

🇲🇽 MÉXICO (Jalisco) Excerpt from Eat the World Los Angeles: One dish that is often a weekend (or Thursday) special is now available every day that Los Cuates are open: their magnificent pozole blanco ($12.99), served with tasty tostadas and all the necessary adornment. The pork stew could fix the worst of days, full of bones and chopped up parts. The large order makes sure you get a nice hunk of pork spine. They use big kernals of maiz morado, of which thin slivers of purple come through in the end product, which tastes even more full of corn flavor. Squeeze in some lime and add onions and chopped cabbage.

Everything seemed premade the night before and just heated up. Flavors were just ok. I tried the tacos, honestly they reminded me of when el pollo loco used to have tacos.

The food here is great. Its not your standard mexican restaurant. The flavors you can tell feels like mom made it. The service and ambiance matches the quality of the food. There is a reason this place has an almost perfect rating. Gotta come back......

Place is really small. About 5 tables. We were a party of 4 and had to wait a bit. There is a table outside but it was hot on this day so we waited. Came to try the tortas ahogadas but they ran out :( it was 12:50pm ish. I did ask for next time and the lady said we can call in to ask if there are still some and have them put aside. Good thing I checked out the reviews and menu beforehand because the enchiladas and tostadas were so good! The salsa on the table was spicy and bomb. Pero me quede con las ganas de las tortas. Un dia regresare a probarlas!

Small restaurant, the Food was tasty and closest thing to the original recipes. Service was good we did have to wait for the food to arrive and not all came out together. But it was a bit pricey for the amount of food you get. The area does not have it's own parking lot and it's in a shady area.

La comida todo bien, muy rica, pero en mi experiencia, mala atención al cliente, me cobraron por algo que no ordené, y mi comida no estaba como yo la había ordenado y no me hicieron un rembolso ni tampoco me repusieron la comida como yo quería

I had a hard time wanting to try this place just cause I have a go to spot for chilaquiles but I decided to go. Best chilaquiles I had in a long time. The service was great but I wish I was able to personally tip the lady that helped me out. Clean environment and I will definitely come back again.

This is was one of my favorite places to go, I always start off with a cold beer or if I'm hungover the micheladas are really good. The food is one of a kind it's super authentic and everything is made fresh! I recommend the tostada raspada and sopes. Great customer service they treat you like family!

This place is amazing! My coworker told me about it and wow I am super pleased with this place. The tostadas are soooo good! And they are huge! I got full with one. Today we were on our way there when we realized they were closed. Their specials of the week are pretty good. I had the tostada de cueritos and it was delicious. I also had their horchata and it was perfect- huge bottle! I highly recommend this place!

I think I just discovered the best Chilaquiles! Loved this place. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and sat down right away. These Chilaquiles were filled with so much flavor. The culture of this place was very authentic and traditional. I enjoyed everything about this wonderful establishment; even down to the coffee. I will definitely be returning.

This is a definitely a place to go. If you are near by Compton/Long Beach area, you should try this place. You will not go wrong with any of their plates. My favorites are tostada de pata, pozole blanco, and tacos dorados The area is not fancy, per say, but eating here is definitely worth it, you won't regret it.

Walked in, saw a customer eating something I haven't seen in all my 35yrs of existence... a tostada de pork pata (cueritos). My mind was blown, I had to try it....it was so bomb and fun to eat. Comes chilled a tostada with a smear of frijoles, lettuce, tomato, slices of pork lomo and queso fresco all comes together. To top it off not 1 but 2 pickled pork patas which I learned where made in house.. it was definitely delicious and unique. Two thumbs up wish I lived a little closer would eat that right now.

Antojitos Los Cuates is a treasure! This little restaurant is nearest to Rosecrans and Long Beach Blvd. It is a small storefront with parking on the street and in the rear. During the Covid19 shutdown, they added outdoor dining in the parking lot. The food is from the city of Guerrrero in Jalisco. They have a small menu, but everything is fantastic. A huge dinner for 6 people was just over $60, and you cannot believe how kind and wonderful they are. DH ordered to sopes and a taco dorado - both were solidly prepared with fresh ingredients and were so delicious. Our LO's sandwich (torta) made with pork loin was similar. But, I encourage you to be a bit more adventurous. If you need to stick on the mild side, I recommend the flautas or the AMAZING pozole. The flautas are three, deep friend corn tortilla and chicken tubes in a uber-mild tomato sauce topped with shredded cabbage, radish, red onion, grated cotija and mayonnaise. I would probably skip the mayonnaise, but the combination was otherwise fantastic and perfect for other LO. The pozole blanco was even more impressive, with deeply flavored broth, lots of tender pork and popped hominy and toppings of shredded cabbage and sliced radish. It was served with limes, tostadas and hot sauce. My personal favorite, and my order, was the enchiladas de mole. Next time, I would order extra sauce, because it is DIVINE! There were four, soft, corn tortillas rolled around shredded chicken in a red-brown mole sauce topped with shredded cabbage, red onions, sliced radish and cotija. I wiped the plate clean of that fantastic sauce. By the end, we were absolutely stuffed. The entire meal was delicious. I highly recommend this little gem.

Amazing authentic mexican food reminds me of my family's home town cooking. My top favorite Pozole, menudo,tostadas and enchiladas. Also great customer service definitly recomend this place.

YALLL let me tell you. Being Mexican having tried soooooo many Mexican places .... This particular place is AUTHENTIC 100% . And the fact that they use cheese and tostadas from Mexico (what I was told the first time I went) make it better and you can tell they are from there beginning with the taste ! The tacos dorados here are to die for, pozole as well. The torta adobada YES! i live in anaheim and have to drive 20 miles but I don't care it's worth it

Si tu eres de Jalisco entonces este restaurante será tu favorito. Antojitos los cuates típica cenaduria desde el corazón de CD. Guzmán Jalisco. Las mejores tostadas de lomo, cueritos, pata, trompa. Pozole blanco como a ti te gusta, tacos de requeson dorados, enchiladas de picadillo dulces, no puede faltar el postre favorito un chocomilk con canela típico de la región. Tiene variedad de cervezas mexicanas. Vale la pena qué llegues y pruebes la verdadera comida típica de CD. Guzmán Jalisco gracias a Fernando Gonzalez el creador y buen cocinero por estas delicias.

The food is a delicious and authentic! But the address is incorrect. The restaraunt is on N. Long Beach Blvd in Compton. The place is small but very welcoming and very affordable. Friendly and fast service. I absolutely loved the picadillo sopes and the enchiladas! We had a large group and we tried everything on the menu and it was all delicious and authentic to the region. We will definitely be back!

Our first time here & I gotta say it's food is just like back in Ciudad Guzman. Tacos dorados de requesón are yummy. I will most definitely be back SOON.
