Best molcajetes in LA. My family discovered Little Mexico over five years ago through family friends, and it was amazing then and still is now. We ordered the shrimp ceviche, super fresh and not spicy, which was perfect since they have plenty of salsas. We also ordered three molcajete rancheros, each came with salad, rice, beans, and a generous amount of meat, all really well seasoned. My parents are Mexican and it's hard to find a spot they truly love, but this is the one. Service is fast, they keep the chips coming, and the salsa is so good. Cozy spot with occasional live music. Definitely a great place to bring the family. read more

Little Mexico - Orden de Ceviche de camaron - Mexican Near Me - Montebello, California

I ate here before and i remeber liking the shrimp cocktail. We asked to sit outside because we had our small dog. There was a table but it was in rough shape, but we were happy they could accommodate. We ordered steak and eggs it came with a salad. When salad came my husband didn't know what it was it didn't look right lol. Like it was thrown on, but it tasted fresh! He didn't like his red rice. I ordered bass in butter filet, my white rice was hard. I liked my potatoes wedges. The fish was okay and portion was good. Their chips are fantastic has a great flavor. Not plain and cane with two kinds of salsas. We drank ice water. Was busy on a Saturday. Glad to see people enjoying this place...we were surprised for a Mexican Restaurant in Montebello on Whittier Blvd didn't have wonderful Mexican rice! Since we were outside they forgot our flan, which they gave us to go for FREE! read more

This place has been my to go spot for Mariscos for years and the passed 2 times it's just been such a disappointment. Yesterday I had ask for a Mojarra mojo de ajo , when they brought it they brought it with a paste that looked like lard , waitresses stated it was garlic but it did not taste or smelled like garlic . My son asked for Horchata and they literally gave him watered down horchata. The rice has always been my favorite and yesterday again beyond disappointed. Even the ceviche ! Did they get rid of the cook? read more

Fantastic Mexican Food with a Chill Vibe! My wife and I love going to Little Mexico! The atmosphere is relaxed, with TVs for sports and a jukebox playing in the background. The service is always good, and even though plant-based dishes aren't always on the menu, the chef has made one for me the last two times, which I really appreciate. Today, my wife had shrimp caldo and tostada de jaivie, and she loved it. Little Mexico is our favorite spot, and we highly recommend it for anyone looking for great food and a chill vibe! read more

Over all experience was nice. COME WITH AN APPETITE, PORTIONS ARE ENORME! The very restaurant was dark & cave like. This is likely to the ceiling being painted BLACK! . Lotsa seating! They definitely were in the Christmas spirit with PLENTY of Christmas decorations hanging from the ceiling and on the walls! Two tvs for sports watching and a jukebox playing good music from Mala Fe-La Vaca to Drake- Hotline Bling Took a few minutes to be greeted and asked how many in our party, but in all fairness they were BUSY! Flautas plate was good. Beans, guacamole, and rice were good, just needed some salt. My sister said the pozole was good. The serving size was gigantic!! Price - 5/5 (PORTIONS ARE HUGE!) Food/Flavor - 5/5 Cleanliness - 4/5 Friendliness - 3/5 Noise Level - 5/5; able to have a conversation without difficulty. read more

I went for a bowl of Menudo, it had absolutely no flavor no taste it was just boiled water with corn and meat and a little bit of something red. I had to load it up with the onion and chili they provided and it was still tasteless . read more

I normally take to go but I decided to come in today and eat there instead, but service was a 0. The waitress in the morning seemed to be in a rush but had no tables. It seemed like she didn't want to be at work today. She wasn't even attentive. Food was good but I most definitely won't be eating there anymore read more

The chili Verde plate is delicious!! I have also enjoyed the tacos and menudo. The salsa is amazing but spicy.

The food is great here. The atmosphere can be better. When we arrived it was not very busy and yet it took a while before we were asked for drinks. The food presentation is very nice and the bowls that the posole and menudo come in are large. I wish their sodas were fountain drinks instead of from a can. Over all I would recommend this place read more

I'll keep it short and straight to the point . I ordered a plate of chicken enchiladas topped with sour cream and avocado side- rice and beans was included. I only took a few bites 5 to be exact and clearly the entire plate smelled bad and tasted bad. The sour cream started to have air bubbles. I just wanted to vomit. I ended up just eating the chips and salsa. Never again. read more

I ordered the chicken hard tacos the chicken was pure chicken skin like both tacos had so much I had to return the plate. Tbh how do you mess up chicken hard tacos like shredded chicken breast it's all good. I love to support local restaurants but this ain't it. Save your money and time and go somewhere else. read more

I would give them no stars but you have to mark atleast one. They have really bad costumer service the waitress had attitude with our teens when ordering their food, plus we were missing an order for one of our teens and brought it out when everyone was done. We just cancelled that order. Oh & it was not busy with alot of customers read more

We order this on over eats and it's has not disappointed yet. The whole staff at work loves this place. They give you a lot of food, we always have left overs read more

My niece took us here and the seafood we ordered was good. I got a fish ceviche tostada along with a shrimp and octopus cocktail. The tostada was piled high and was a meal in itself so that was a nice surprise. The cocktail was average for the price. The service was great and overall I would go again and next time get two of those fish tostadas and that would make me happy and stuffed! read more

Love coming to Little Mexico! I always stop by when my truck is being serviced next door at Enrique Auto Electric. My go to is the Carne Asada with shrimp plate, it comes with a side salad, rice, avocado, and potato wedges. Chips and salsa are complimentary and as are the smiles. Servers are friendly. Lots of parking. Bathrooms were clean. I would recommend this place read more

This and Montebello Restaurant I miss now that I don't live in the area. This place has good Mexican food. The seafood is always fresh and you can always count on getting a good Michelada to have with your seafood. The food is priced very well too. Service isn't consistent, but it's not terrible. Most of the time most waitresses here forget my tortillas, but not today. Expect to wait on a Friday evening. My go to dish is the molcajete de mariscos. It's fish, shrimp, cheese, cactus, and I substitute the octopus for chorizo. All in a salsa and It's super flavorful. It comes with a side of rice, beans tortillas and a side salad. All for I believe less than $14. You won't get this anywhere else. My second choice would be the costa brava soup. This soup has shrimp and fish and it's delicious. It's perfect for a cold day or if you are need a little pick me up. read more

Love the food here. Breakfast lunch or dinner everything is great my favorite is the wet burrito. Service is ok it can use some improvement. And location is ok just hard to find parking on a busy day. read more

AVOID THIS PLACE! We dined in on 8/16/24. First off, it was hot inside so do not come on a hot day (or at all). The fish tacos were DRY. 0/10 do not recommend. I didn't even finish one taco... Also the oyster shots gave my bf FOOD POISENING!! Glad I didn't try one! The mojarra wasn't good either. So much $$$ wasted. The service was fine but it doesn't matter when the food is not good. First time here and never coming back. read more

Awesome service, good music, loved the fish tacos and shrimp tacos.. chips and salsa on the house!

Ordered me the Molcajetes de Camaron and a lemon margarita, both were delicious. The margarita wasn't overly sweet which is how I like them. I could only eat half of the Molcajetes de Camaron, I had enough to take for lunch the next day. The waitress was awesome, very friendly and attentive. The new Covid-19 outdoor seating is actually kind of nice. If you like really spicy food, try the camarones del diablo, they'll make your toes curl. Order them with fried potatoes so you can dip the potatoes in the camarones del Diablo chili sauce once you finish the shrimp. read more

I just paid $20 for cheese enchiladas and the cheese was not melted on the inside ! Fire the chefs immediately !

Little hole in the wall, if you didn't know about this place you'd drive right passed it. It's right next to the METRO PCS store. The food quality is really good. The Aguas Frescas are always good. The turnaround time to receive your food is good. The waitress service has a lot to improve.......Mind you our waitress was very kind and respectful. We first walked in and we didn't get acknowledged. We sat ourselves and waited a minute or two for the menus. The waitress took our drink and food orders the drinks took a long time to arrive at our table. We felt that the waitresses talk a little too much amongst themselves, I think it's ok to talk but not that much!!! overall rating was ok. read more

Super delicious food, my taste buds went into orbit with absolutely everything that was served including the salsas, the ambiance and the vibe with the music is super comfortable and inviting, highly recommend this place to anyone, you will not be disappointed, oh and don't forget to order the Molcajete because you will be super satisfied, you guys deserve more than 5 stars!!! Thank you read more

Their food is good and I'd give it a better rating, however the service is poor. I ordered on the phone and the server said it would be ready in 20 minutes. When I arrived to get my order, the server said it would take another 5 minutes and was apologetic. I waited 20 minutes more before my order was ready. The restaurant wasn't even busy. read more

1st time here and all I have to say food was good, not the best.. But definitely fills you up. The service was horrible, the waitress had no good knowledge of menu, confused about the dishes. She had my family waiting to order while she was eating on the job, my son caught her and she admitted forgetting about us. I had the Mariscada Molcajete Which was ok, I think it had too much fish , and I didn't get a nopales like it said on menu. My son got camarones costa azul which were big, but salty. Try on your own risk and good luck if you get the waitress Karen, she's bad... Killed the whole vibe. read more

Terrible!! terrible!! Food was cold, they over charged me for something I did not order, fries were cold. The fish was not even crispy and they are served plain. Would never eat here again and refer anyone. Street tacos are better and cheaper than this place. Save your money and time!!! read more

For my to-go order, I order two burritos and they are a little big. The burritos came with a small side of lettuce. I specifically made sure to ask for red sauce on the side for my two burritos. I got one side of sauce, one side of salsa, and two sides of ranch. On top of that, the food is ok. Not bad by any means, but not super good. I will likely not be returning. read more

Excellent food as always. Had the red chilaquiles and they were delicious, crunchy and warm. Rarely do yelp reviews but I felt this place deserved a thumbs up. I recommend it. read more
