Tucked inside a mini mall at the corner of Westwood Blvd. and Santa Monica Blvd, Eduardo's has been serving Mexican/Southwestern food for over 30 years.
Their menu features the standard fare of burritos, tacos, and quesadillas, along with some specialties like enchiladas and fajitas. Unlike other Mexican restaurants, Eduardo's uses a healthier cooking approach, with less sodium and no lard, relying instead on vegetable oil. Of course there is a salsa bar, with six freshly made salsa to choose from, including a mango salsa.
For burrito fillings, you can select steak, chicken, vegetarian (black beans), shrimp, red snapper or plain bean & cheese. The original burrito comes with your choice of meat, cheese, guacamole and salsa. Their burritos contain a generous portion of seasoned meat, grilled to perfection, lean and flavorful. If you order the fish burrito, the red snapper is cooked to order.
Their tortilla chips are freshly fried, making them perfectly crisp and hard to resist, especially with their salsas.
I would call Eduardo's a hole-in-the-wall gem, but that would be unfair to Eduardo's. It even passes the high standards of my germaphobe co-worker. So when a Mexican food craving hits, head over to Eduardo's. With over 30 years in business, they're doing something right.
Parking available in the mini mall lot. If you go during lunchtime, there will be a line, so call ahead and order if time is an issue.
