Specialties  listed here the Chili Verde delicious. Lots of great options.
Bill P.

This is a place that has been a La Palma gem forever. We have been going for years and years. The inside is a traditional style Mexican restaurant. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. There can be a little bit of a wait but it is never ridiculous. Chips and salsa hit the table shortly after you're seated, the salsa is a chunky style, not particularly my favorite but very good still. Full bar and the drinks are delicious. From margaritas to mixed drinks and cold beer, a must have is there Cadillac Margarita. The menu has a great selection of Traditional Mexican dishes. I have way too many to list but 1 for sure is the Chili Verde. Definitely worth trying and good chance it will make one of your go to Local Mexican spots. Sorry no food pics., got side tracked when the food arrived.

This joint used to be in our weekly rotation but since the move, we haven't visited in months. Wifey and I missed the overall vibe and culinary experience! The staff is always friendly and accommodating. We actually needed earplugs because the next table was beyond sonic boom loud lol but this La Capilla location is bar none.

Super Nachos Supreme with Carnitas

Such wonderful service. Came here on Tuesday. Our table servers which was a male and female were excellent. Both so warming and quick. The host was also very nice. Sat us quickly. We were given water and salsa immediately. Our food came out nice and hot. It was so good. The salsa and guacamole were overwhelmingly delicious. We couldn't get enough. The guacamole was so flavorful and creamy. I hate lemon taste in my guacamole and there was none. My tea was good too. My hubby ordered a Roy Roger's. I needed something warm for this cold weather. This restaurant is so much more updated than the Torrance location. Both have home feelings. They feel so comfortable. We had a great dinner. Sometimes we just need nachos lol. And La Capilla has the best. Haven't had a place since this place have quality nachos like they do. Great people and great food.

01/17/25 My oh my! Portions are huge. First off, let me talk about the tortilla chips and salsa! Chips were brought out so warm. The salsa had a perfect spice to it. It was sooo good and a great start to our meal. We ordered chicken flautas, carne asada burrito and half order nachos supreme. Chicken flautas: 2 big pieces. Came with refried beans, rice, guacamole and sour cream. The chicken and rice didn't have a lot of flavor but the crunch on the flauta was absolutely everything. 5/10 Carne asada burrito: Came with refried beans. My hubby said it was okay. He gave it a 7/10. Nachos supreme: This was very flavorful. We ordered it with carne asada. My daughter wanted a half order because she wasn't that hungry and it was still huge. Between the 3 of us, we barely made a dent in it. 10/10 I would definitely order this again. Our waiter and waitress were very attentive and nice. The restaurant is huge and open. Will definitely be back again to try other items. Overall, 8/10.

My favorite type of fajitas are the ones that come out sizzling! Came in for a quick dinner on a Friday night and was able to be seated promptly within the cantina area. Service was friendly and prompt. The fajitas were seasoned well and a good portion size so I was able to take leftovers home for a meal the next day. Always a staple when visiting Buena Park!

Chile verde plate

Good food, service, and local family restaurant. Went on a Saturday night and enjoyed a drink in the bar and dinner. I ordered chicken suiza enchiladas which was a generous amount of food with corn and beans. My husband ordered chile verde and he enjoyed his dinner. Good margaritas and staff was pleasant.

Primera vez que vengo a este restaurante... Seguramente NO VA A SER LA ULTIMA... el lugar es bonito, acogedor, con excelente atención y deliciosa comida... de verdad... VENGAN!!!

Strawberry and Purple Margaritas
Kristen A.

1st time here. Seated immediately waitress was nice asked for recommendations (because I can never decide)she said everything was good... We ended up killing a whole bowl of chips and a Margarita each before ordering I had a strawberry margarita and he had the purple margarita. I liked mine him not so much. Next round he had a Cadillac and it was good. Ok on to our meal He ordered 3 item combo 2 beef tacos and a beef enchilda. Tacos were ok he said the enchilada was better. I ordered the Enchiladas Suiza I liked it a lot,filled with fat chunks of flavorful chicken and cheese Great flavor! I would definitely order again, ww also ordered a bowl of Albondigas to share, we both thought it had grest flavor.All in all solid spot with good service.

We've been coming to this place for over 30 years and it was always a favorite of ours. I do have to say the last two or three times I've been, I have not left happy. It is a very cute place and the service is really good, but I've noticed a change in their red sauce. It isn't a good change. There's a kind of spice or seasoning to it, almost like a pumpkin. That said they do have some of the best tortilla soup I've ever had, and I'm fine with those items that don't have the red sauce on it. The different margaritas are also absolutely awesome! This is a place that's kind of tradition for us, so I imagine we'll continue to go back again and again. I'm just won't be ordering anything with the red sauce on it, which is a shame because I love cheese enchiladas with red sauce.

Not the usual Mexican asada I get ...and too much cheese in the beans
Katrina S.

We were nearby and decided to stop by . We had a party of 8 on a Saturday and were able to be seated right away so that was nice . I also liked that when we were seated we had water , chips and salsa already at the at table . I didn't like how the salsa was full of onions , like insane amount . They did keep the chips and salsa coming without asking . The service was great 3 stars for the service . The food wasn't so great . Too much cheese and not enough flavor . I was so disappointed in my carne asada plate . It was so fat , like a regular steak instead of a Mexican flat one . They also didn't have an jugos/ aquas . It was a Mexican restaurant that was kinda American , idk it was weird . I wouldn't go back , not only bc we live far In OC but bc we didn't like or finish the food . Their service was great though wish all places were as attentive as this place . The food was below pair unfortunately.

Do you still get a free combination meal on your birthday?

I just went today for my moms birthday (April 2), and they no longer offered a free combination meal. They did offer flan though

Today we showed up around 6 a.m. thinking they were open, but they were actually still closed. The door happened to be open, and the cook greeted us kindly and let us know they weren't open yet. As we were about to leave, he called us back and said, "It's okay, I'll fire up the grill and make you something," even though they weren't supposed to open for another two hours. That kind of service is rare and speaks volumes. What an awesome gesture! I definitely recommend this place. Thank you, Señor Taco!

My basic review is this: - There are a LOT of choices here and every option is great - The customer service is stellar and they greet you right away and make sure your order is confirmed before starting it - The pricing is very fair, I didn't feel like I broke my bank buying the tacos and quesadillas - I'm glad they have meat that's outside of just the normal beef and pork. It's not common you get options beyond this - I think they are very fast given the type of restaurant they are, and you are never going to feel "why is this taking so long" - Get their drinks! Don't forget! Top notched place in the area. I'll be coming back again for sure!

She and Gustavo were both super nice and made me feel safe and comfortable at the bar. Armando was also very friendly and cordial. The asada taco was surprisingly good. They did not skimp on the meat. Also the chips and salsa are soooo good. My favorite is the red salsa. I love how the chips are thin and crunchy. If you like margaritas, I highly recommend the Lime Margarita. So good! La Huasteca is the type of place where you can visit alone or with friends and have a pleasant time no matter what. Definitely will be back.

Alberto's Mexican Food - Cypress, CA February 5, 2026…read more First visit This was my first time at Alberto's Mexican Food in Cypress, and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the beef taco and beef taquitos, and both hit the spot. The beef taco came loaded with lettuce and cheese, and the shell was perfectly cooked--not greasy, not soggy. The beef was nicely seasoned, and the hot sauce served on the side paired with it perfectly, adding just the right amount of kick. The beef taquitos were also very good--crispy, filled generously, topped with plenty of melted cheese, and finished with a guacamole sauce that was especially tasty. The rice and beans were average, nothing bad, just not standout--but everything else more than made up for it. All in all, a very solid experience, especially for a first visit. I'd definitely return and try more items on the menu.

We moved away, but grew up with Albertaco's and we LOVE IT. Carne asada fries, chicken quesadilla, cali burrito, their red salsa, chef's kiss. Last year May 2025, we drove and did takeout for our brothers birthday. We ordered 2 carne asada fries, and they only gave us 1 (our order was big). Yesterday, May 17,2026, I drove out here again for my brother's birthday request to do takeout for our entire family. Ordered 2 orders of their rolled tacos, finally got home to see that we only received 1 order of the rolled tacos, not 2 (we also ordered more things). Yes, you'd obviously like for everything that you paid for to be handed to you, but a lesson learned to check your bags!!! If something is missing, kindly let them know and receive everything you paid for. Not the end of the world, we love this place as this is one of our childhood comfort foods/go-to places.. we moved away and miss this place all the time, and to make our birthdays feel like home/childhood, we drive out here to show our loved one some extra love with Albertaco's BOMB food, but yeah, it's a bummer when you're missing things that you paid for & is shown on the receipt (will post receipt photo shortly).
