Our go to when we are home for fresh Mexican food. Family owned and run. With the best chicken in the area

Looked up the reviews and it has 4.5 but honestly was so disappointed I had a quesadilla plate with a horchata came out to 18 with change. I did let the lady know the carne asada was made with a lot of fat and she said yeah it's mixed with it. Assuming meat is expensive so they do more fat and I HATE THAT part the most I was pretty disgusted. They didn't offer anything else even tho I've only eating half of one. Sadly wouldn't come again Horchata is super sweet also threw that away read more

Employee who answered the phone was very helpful with my large party order. She gave great recommendations. Food was great and warm and was ready for pickup at the agreed upon time. I did not dine in, but seemed pleasant. read more

This place has THE best rotisserie chicken!! We have been coming here for years and the taste and quality have not changed. They offer fast and reliable pick up. I have never been disappointed by their rotisserie chicken special. We always get it with rice, beans and their killer potato salad! We love this family owned business. We will keep coming back for that chicken. It is small place so there are not many tables if you're planning to eat in. I usually call ahead to order and pick up the food to go. read more

I've tasted different rotisserie chicken and have to say that this one is by far the best. Tasty, juicy and great salsa too. They also carry a variety of other food items in their menu that are so good too read more

This is a nice little hole in the wall spot. My hubby and I like to go have breakfast here. We like the chilaquiles. We have also tried the rotisserie chicken from here. I ordered about 10 chickens and sides as well. Chicken was really good. But sides not too much. Service is always great here. Everyone is nice and friendly. read more

Really good food can't wait to try other dishes this is a new place for me and really nice people that work there

Best rotisserie chicken in LA. I absolutely love this place. Their habanero salsa is fire! They cater and also take over the phone orders.

The rotisserie chicken is the best! Ladies at the counter are always welcoming and friendly. I call the order to pick up and it is always ready on time. read more

Amazing food , we loved the service and the overall quality was excellent . The customer service was also great!

This rotisserie chicken is one of the best, very juicy and flavorful. Their sides are good as well, beans (charro style), rice, potato salad and coleslaw. It comes with corn or flour tortillas. Their red salsa is to die for read more

El Mixteca Restaurant - a pizza on a table - Mexican Near Me - South Gate, California

Secret hidden gem that I found by mistake a few years ago. Best authentic Mexican food, my favorite dishes are the home zopes and Barbacoa tacos, but everything is amazing Highly recommend it read more

That's it, Mixteca doesn't get any more chances. We always have issues when going there. But this was the ultimate last straw. My family and I drove 40 mins from Orange County on Mother's Day to eat dinner there. I just wanted to keep it simple and not go to a fancy restaurant. Google says they close @7pm, yelp says they close @9pm. We got there @6pm and the door was locked. The lady came to the door and said they're closed (even though there were people still eating inside). We told her we were hoping to dine in but we were turned away. My family of 5 had no other choice but to get back in the car and take our money elsewhere. I was very disappointed that we took that long drive on Mother's Day just to be turned away during regular business hours. read more

I ate the chicken and rice at a party this past Saturday, and it was delicious. I don't like chicken that much, but this is the best I had in many years. I recommend this place 100%. I consider myself a food critic. read more

First time trying this place. Ordered the whole chicken with the sides and it didn't disappoint. The chicken was tender and juicy + salsa . Not only is it better than PLoco it's cheaper. Bang for your buck! read more

This place is a hit or miss. The chicken has been dry the past 3 times I came. Normally I get 2 chicken combo with the 3 sides and personally it's a great deal since I hate meal prepping but meh I'd rather make my own dry chicken. read more

A more awesome version of El Pollo Loco! My work frequently gets take out from this place and I can see why. Cheap and large portions! They have great specials: - buy 2 chickens get 1 whole chicken free ($20) - buy 2 chickens and get 3 large sides free ($20) - buy 1.5 chickens & get half chicken free ($15) - buy 1.5 chickens & get 2 med sides free ($15) - buy 1 whole chicken & get 2 med side orders free ($11.35) Side orders include: potato salad, beans, cole slaw, rice Their potato salad is AMAZING!! Each combo order comes with a bunch of tortillas - you can get corn and flour tortillas. The restaurant isn't much - couple of tables. The food comes out incredibly fast - I ordered and less than 5 minutes, I got my complete order for dinner. My co-workers do say that lunch time is their busy time and they can run out so call in your order. In the same plaza as El Super so plenty of parking! read more

I came here for a business meeting and was pleasantly surprised at how authentic and delicious the meal was. We ordered rotisserie chicken and I got the potato salad with rice. We got complimentary fresh warm tortilla chips with spicy salsa, which I appreciated. The chicken was very tender and juicy, the salad was delicious. My Coworker got a taco which she devoured and we both got a flauta. Everything was delicious, the customer service is warm and attentive. I'm definitely happy to give business to a family, this restaurant is family owned and has been for quite some years! (20, I think) I'll definitely be getting catering for business meetings. This place is a little hole in the wall, recommended if you want comfort Mexican food and pretty damn authentic too. read more

It has been our go to for a couple of years now - We order from here for normal days, quick dinners and specials occasions, Its quick and inexpensive. It is family owned and we always feel welcomed when we come here. We normally order the whole chicken with rice, beans and 2 LARGE potato salads. The potatoes salad is just amazing! read more

I've been going there for years. Every time I call in an order they have it ready the way I asked. Great food!

Years ago my colleague introduced me to El Mixteca and I was hooked! Sadly, the Bellflower location closed and it's been years since I had it. Today, I woke up really craving it and decided to drive to South Gate for it. I'm so glad I did. Hands down the best Mexican rotisserie chicken I had. Liked it so much bought some for lunch and dinner tomorrow. Thank you El Mixteca! read more

Their chicken is so good, I'm a picky eater when it comes to chicken because I know sometimes it can have a taste but this one was really good, and every time I order the plate it was always warm and ready to eat. The sauce gives it that spicy taste. And the price is not bad at all. read more

This place is my absolute favorite. I work nearby by and I swear I could eat here everyday. It's basically eating home away from home. My new favorite item is their carnitas wet burrito. It's not for anyone with a small appetite. Come here hungry. Service is always great and you never wait more than 10 minutes read more

El Mixteca Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - South Gate, California

The rotisserie chicken here is the best around! Always consistently delicious, juicy, and tender!

If they want repeat business they really need to clean up around the outside too. It looks gross. I don't understand why you hand write menu items and scotch tape them to the window. This place doesn't even have it's grade posted. I'm lucky I simply had to pick the order up. Since I won't be eating the food. It will be interesting how the others react when I tell them about how gross I think this place is. Actually it qualified more as a "dive" than gross. read more

OMG. What an incredible place. The owner has been making this chicken FOREVER. Although she had had a few different location I think the current site will be permanent. I have been going to this place for 15 years and it hasn't chg' a bit. Great super tender chicken that has been marinated to perfection. I read in an earlier posts that they didn't like the handwritten menu... no matter to me, it's the best rotisserie chicken around. read more

Oh man where do I start. Been coming here for about 20 years, since it was located in Lynwood next to El Farallón!! Same owner same recipe, still delicious. read more

I have been coming here for years everything is good. Do your self a favor and spend the extra 50 cents and order a Chile toreado and sprinkle some lemon and thank me later. Their specialty is their chicken of course but their flautas and huaraches are delicious too read more

This place is a hole in the wall. It's very old school. I'm always wondering why they don't post up the Letter Grade for health inspection. Are they hiding something? Can't they get fine for not posting the letter grade up? Anyways weird part is that the food is good. I always get rotisserie chicken and their sides. I'm rating 3 starts based on the restaurant presentation. They really need to upgrade their place. They're ice making machine says it all. Try this place out on your own. read more

Food is amazing.Service is even better! Everything on the menu is delicious. Highly recommend!! You won't be disappointed!!

I have had a few items off of their menu, but the most impressive is their chicken and beans. Full of flavor and a great price!

This place is awesome. Food is delicious and well priced. I am always impressed and can't stop eating it.
