Another Eat the World LA Find…read more La Casita Mexicana -- another Eat the World LA find that did not disappoint! I first visited while I was in the area with my best friend, who is also half Argentinian like me and does modeling as a hobby. She had just finished another successful photoshoot on the Eastside of Los Angeles, made great connections, and got some amazing content. It was getting late, and we wanted to start heading back home toward the freeway, but we were starving. We both love food and get the munchies now and then, but we also wanted to celebrate her latest milestone, so I suggested La Casita Mexicana. The ambiance was like stepping into a little casita in Mexico -- bright, colorful, vibrant, and welcoming. The staff were friendly, too. We tried an appetizer and shared the Enchiladas Tres Moles. Granted, I've never had truly authentic mole, but I've had versions of mole that were not good. The mole here, however, was out of this world delicious. Even the mole that came with the dinner chips as their "salsa mole" was fantastic. I remember thinking, I feel like I'm experiencing Michelin-star-level food in the middle of the LA barrio. And honestly, that's the beauty of the barrio. There are culinary diamonds all over Los Angeles -- you just have to give them a chance and be willing to try somewhere new. I've since returned with my boyfriend, and the food has never disappointed. For a little personal context, I'm half Argentinian and half Mexican. Although the Mexican side of my family is from Guadalajara and Sonora, I didn't grow up eating Jalisco-style cuisine, so exploring different regional Mexican cooking has been especially fun for me. It's always interesting discovering flavors and traditions that are part of my own heritage but weren't necessarily part of my upbringing. La Casita Mexicana is definitely one of those places I'm glad I ventured out for -- and another successful Eat the World LA discovery.

Celebrated my birthday dinner here with family, and it turned out to be a great choice! I got the…read moreTres Carnes plate, which comes with carne asada, cecina, and chorizo, so you basically get a little bit of everything on one plate. The chorizo was a bit too salty for my taste, but the cecina more than made up for it and honestly was my favorite of the three. The carne asada was solid too, cooked just right and full of flavor. Before the food even came out, they brought us chips with mole, and those were perfect on their own, a worthy palette opener while we waited! Service was great the entire meal, our server checked in often without hovering and made the whole experience feel special. For a birthday dinner with the family, it was just right.

I swung by on a whim, and honestly, it felt like I walked straight into someone's home kitchen, small, cozy, and run with genuine pride. The horchata was cold, creamy, and refreshing, the kind that makes you pause mid‑sip and think, "Okay, they're not playing around." Horchata The ceviche and shrimp tostadas were the stars of the visit. Fresh, bright, and loaded, none of that sad, tiny‑portion energy. The tostadas had that perfect crunch, and the toppings tasted like they were prepped that same morning. Ceviche Shrimp tostadas. This spot is tiny, like "if you sneeze, you might hit the back wall" tiny, but that's part of the charm. It's clean, simple, and clearly cared for. No fancy décor, no trendy neon signs, just straight‑up authentic Mexican cooking. The service was warm and friendly, the kind where you can tell the people running the place actually care. They treat you like a neighbor, not a transaction. I walked in looking like I was just "passing through," and they still fed me like I was a long‑lost cousin. This is one of those spots that proves you don't need a big space or flashy presentation to deliver great food. If you're in Huntington Park and craving fresh ceviche, crunchy shrimp tostadas, and a horchata that hits the soul, this place is worth the stop Miguel C.

I was working in South Gate a few years ago and discovered this location in Huntington Park. I started coming here for their most delicious sopes, tacos and burritos. The restaurant's ambience is simple. There are two counters and a table. People come here for the authentic and delicious food. I'll sacrifice ambience for amazing food any day! The meat they serve is pork and they grill it over lump coal so the edges are crispy and charred but the meat itself is juicy and porky. The beans are fried up perfectly, just like homemade. The salsa is simple but very tasty. Today's was fire and addictive. I had a taco de chorizo ... yum. I also got a jamaica to help cool things down. I got a couple of burritos to go. I'm really looking forward to chowing down on those later. I know they'll be delicious as always. The sope shells are handmade and fried up fresh to order. They're thin and crispy but hold up well to the fresh toppings. The first one was so good that I ended up ordering a second one. Asusana was working the counter today. She was very kind and accommodating. ¡Gracias Asusana!! I know I'll be returning for my fill of authentic sopes, tacos and burritos.

I looked for a place and found El Chamizal. I picked it mainly because I wanted table service and the other photos looked good.

We both ordered The Molcajete Mixto: Prawn, chicken breast, carne asada, cheese, tomato, molcajete sauce, and avocado. It came with 3 fresh-made tortillas, for $26.95. I ordered the lemonade, which was a bit too sour and they didn't have any limes or lemons for my food, which would normally have me give them four stars but the food was really good.

Now my new job is close by so I've been doing smooth phone orders to pick up and take with me to work. I call ahead of time and im in and out within 2 minutes! I also have ordered using Door Dash as well to be delivered to my job. Hidden gem! It's in an industrial area, so you probably won't come across it as fast as you normally would, thanks to Yelp I had found it over a year ago. The food is really good! I have yet to explore more things off the menu. I love the quality of the Asada that they use! The asada meat quality always speaks volumes of the place to me, personally. My go-to is the Tostada Salad! I get it with shrimp and even added asada the last time I got it! Worth the price of the upgrade! Not to mention their in house sauces they have for you! I love when places have all those sauces, like the spicy grey one and some other ones that aren't at typical mexican joints. My last order was the wet fajitas burrito! I would say, i was left with something missing on it. I think rice definitely needs to be on that burrito. I do know some restaurants are practicing burritos without rice and even though that may sometimes come out well, it is definitely needed on this one. I was overwhelmed with all the meat, veggies, and tortilla i had, i felt there was space for something else! I'll for sure be adding rice to mine next time. The burrito caught attention from several co workers when I began to dig into it. It was well prepared and served! I'm telling you all, they have a unique way of how they serve their food. Their portions are big and true! I'm soo happy and lucky to find a place that isn't shortening their customers while still charging the same. Next on the list for me will be the Chilaquiles & a Torta! And last but not least, the location; It is small but normally not busy, there's always a seat open for you. Restroom is also clean. Parking is easy as well! Oh! And they have reeeeally good agua frescas. However, i do wish they offered a smaller size as sometimes we don't always want a big portion! Hope they read this hehe

The Mexican food here is Sinaloan style with staples like chorreadas, etc. I came here specifically to get the El Pariente taco, but got a couple of other items as well. The El Pariente taco was my type of taco. Delicious asada with cheese and a good amount of viscous avocado salsa, all wrapped in a really thick freshly made tortilla. I also got a chorreada and a Taco "El Relleno". I thought everything was delicious and was super stoked that all this and a beverage was a little under $20 before tax and tip.

They're located in Huntington Park and have a build-your-own style similar to Chipotle, but way better in my opinion. It's healthier, more affordable, and has that authentic Mexican touch that you just don't get at places like Chipotle. I love that you can fully customize your burritos or bowls exactly how you want. Everything tastes fresh, well-seasoned, and high quality. You can tell they actually care about the ingredients and the way the food is prepared. They also offer carne asada fries and quesadillas, which are perfect if you're extra hungry or just want something more indulgent. One of the biggest things that stands out to me is that they're Seed Oil Free certified. That's something you don't see often, and it makes a big difference knowing you're getting a cleaner meal without sacrificing flavor.
