Overrated looks so good on there instagram page but when I went and ordered only received like 2 to 3 little pieces of meat, nothing but sauce very disorganized wouldn't recommend this place read more

I love nachosssss and I must say these are one of the best I've had in a while. We went tonight and ordered the 50/50. Everybody was so nice :) We had to take it home (10 min drive) but it was still hot and crunchy. Nobody does fresh chips anymore so I'm glad they do. Also both their green & red salsa are really good. Will definitely be back to try everything else! read more

These folks know good taste and flavors are EXCELLENT. Their shrimp nachos are seriously the best in town, the chips are crunchy to perfection. They add a creamy sauce and red sauce, the shrimp is sauteed to perfection y sas! The shrimp flautas are just as good too, everything is a good choice here. The entire staff are also super chill and cool, they're attentive and provide quality service. read more

Soulmex - Shrimp nachos - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been back around 3 times already and I would highly recommend coming back. The flavors of the Flautas were delicious and have a good amount of meat added onto them. I've had both the Verde and Shrimp. Verde is a classic salsa verde sauce with a mild spice level. The shrimp is more on the Cajun side and a bit spicier. I've also had the 50/50 nachos and I can say that their proportions are quite big. In some cases where the container couldn't fully close. Flavor wise just as impactful as the other two options. The service was amazing as well. The head chef is very attentive and even made a special change for the Shrimp Flautas by making it non-spicy and more of a Alfredo based sauce with mushrooms which my mom adored. He was also quite funny interacting with some of the customers while I sat in which made the experience more fun. read more

Listen man. I do not say this lightly, these are the best nachos & flautas I've ever had in my life. And I've been alive a long time. The 50/50 Nachos are half asada, half pork chile verde, and they will make you want to karate chop your mom in the neck. They also had a special which was crab flautas topped with shrimp. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, and seasoned to perfection. Even the damn Cokes were ice cold, and in this bullsh*t weather, that was needed. The Chef recommended we eat there, and he wasnt wrong. This food was made to be eaten on the spot. Fire food, & A1 customer service. Don't sleep on this spot. read more

Mannnnn after months of planning and failed visits, finally made it to SoulMex this weekend! I'm always very weary about all of the social media hype but glad to say that the hype was real! Best nachos in LA and I don't think I even got served them at an optimal level. But let me backtrack a bit, because the people here are simply amazing. Me and my friend Mark were made to feel very important and everyone there would check on us to make sure that we were happy with our plates. So customer service 20/10! Being a stand in East LA you're not getting luxury on the location but they had some tables set up for people to sit down and enjoy their nachos- that's a plus cause these plates are massive. Couldn't complain about the prices either cause I've pay similar for smaller and not as good nacho plates in LA. Fresh chips, flavorful toppings and well cooked meats, can't go wrong with it. I don't even like seafood but I kept seeing their shrimp plates come out and my mouth was watering. So yes it's an amazing place for nachos. Will definitely be back, even if the nachos were mid, the people made the experience that much better! Will definitely want to come back and try more items from their menu! Highly super highly recommended to try! read more

Great food well seasoned dude gave me free asada taco to taste it was delicious. Service was great highly recommended.

50/50 Nachos are soo good there asada just melts in your mouth, Flautas are also really good had the shrimp and the Chile verde ones. Service is excellent and very quick, you can have it there or to go, I recommend you eat it there. Eric is a cool dude and his staff are very friendly and good. read more

Food was good, Smokey and savory. We had flautas and we had nachos. I personally am very picky with my seafood and much rather have freshly peeled shrimp rather than ready to cook shrimp but that's a personal preference, their shrimp are well seasoned. My highlight was the chile verde ‍ service was good I did notice that everyone is assigned a station so it doesn't look chaotic, they are attentive. Ambience is chill, they do have a few tables set up and they have a variety of music playing also. Better lighting? read more

Soulmex - Chile Verde Nachos - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It was my first time coming and was completely worth it! I was craving nachos and I was tired of my usual spot. I had to come back and try these out! I got the 50/50 and man it did not disappoint! Sooo much flavor in one bite! I don't care for Cotija cheese but man did I love it today. The service is great! The staff and owner are extremely friendly, funny ans very welcoming which is a major for me because Im a person who loves to talk. Its a street vendor pop up so seating is all outside on the sidewalk, and the owner convinced me to stay and eat as a first timer to get the full experience which im glad I did because the wind was nice and fresh, and they hooked it up with some boiling crab style shrimp for my wife and I to try! I will tell you this i don't care for shrimp but these I had to fight my wife for the last one. I will definitely be coming back for nachos and try me some of the shrimp flautas that unfortunately sold out before I got to order, now I know next time don't wait to go eat just GO! read more

Absolutely amazing food!!! This was my 3rd time there and this time I brought my son and DIL. Eric hooked it up with some shrimp and they LOVED IT!!! They could not stop talking about everything we ate. We ordered the 50/50 nachos and chili verde flautas.ON POINT!!! We enjoyed all the food. We all left full, satisfied, and planning for the next time we go. Chefs Eric and Angel are very cool and care about the customers. You can tell They take pride in what they do at Soulmex. The entire team was wonderful and welcoming. BEST NACHOS IN EAST LOS. Best pop up food we've had in a very long time. So worth the drive. Thank you to everyone at Soulmex, especially Eric for taking the time to check on us and make sure we were set.

I got here late. People drove from San Diego from West Covina from Ontario from Compton to try the world's very very best nachos hands-down rated number one by everyone on Yelp if you're anywhere close to Olympic and Atlantic Boulevard right in the heart of Boyle Heights East LA right next to the Bank of America between Bank of America and the post office on Atlantic. It'll change your soul. read more

Soulmex - 50/50 Nachos - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Amazing service and food! Tasty nachos..gteat workers and clean area. Would recommend thr vibe is immaculate! Ambience is nice :)

So, decide to try this place been seeing them for weeks thinking they have a sign saying best nachos in LA. That had my intrigue because I love nachos and have been all over southern California to different spots to see what place has some of the true best nachos. To my disappointment no place has gotten that list in my heart and food mind till now!! The best way to describe it is simple "It's all in the texture of the chips!" -Erick owner. The team at SoulMex not only greets you but provides free tasting samples which are just a beginning to make your taste buds explode. What makes this place number one in my book is seeing the detail of the food but also the experience, they treat you like family which is hard to find now a days. I tried both the 50/50 which the meat was tender but cooked well. I also got the original chile Verdes with the slow cooked pork which just hits different in a amazing way! I also had the ability you get one Fluata and let's just say it was not only dripping but amazing! They do offer catering!! Which means the sooner you vist them the better because this one of those hidden gems in East LA that will not stay hidden for long!! Overall if I had to rate this place for everything would be 10/10 just because of the detail and the fact that they make you feel like you just got to your friends house for a superbowl or party! I will be getting not only catering from them! But will be coming back for more!!! read more

Hands down the best Nachos in all of Los Angeles. Eric, the owner has a way of making you feel right at home and all while making you laugh. Not to mention the food being something everyone needs to at least try once in their lives. The 50/50 nachos are hands down where it's at if you want a meal to not only leave you pleased aesthetic but also flavor wise. The flautas are without a doubt an amazing staple to try as well. The way all the flavors mix together in perfect harmony is something few can achieve. I would definitely coming to check out this place for yourself. Believe me when I say you won't be disappointed! read more

Best nachos ever!!!! MUST TRY! Great service very friendly guy, Stop by support!! You wont be disappointed read more

Im sorry, but the flautas were not how you advertise them on here & not to mention the attitude. No smiles, looked like half the workers didn't even wanna be there. When i got my plate, it looked like it was just drenched in sauce, soggy & a tad bit stale. Not happy at all for all the hype they're receiving ‍. read more

Amazing food and service!Incredible servings and the nachos were freshly made.Great service and food was amazing.Long lines all night long!
