I've always loved Teresa's! Today was no different when I ordered their pambazo. Basically it's a sandwich soaked in chile de arbol(?) with a generous helping of papa, chorizo, Mexican cheese, and lettuce ... there may have also been beans in there, too. Teresa's never disappoints - service is fast, flavors are consistent, and it's clear that attention is given to detail in the preparation of all their dishes! read more

Our first visit to Teresa's Mexican Grill. It's a small mom and pop place with 7-8 tables. Saw its great Yelp ratings and decided to give it a try. Our server was very polite and friendly. We ordered taquitos, Carnita platter, burrito mojardo, chile relleno, and menudo. The menudo was excellent. Very delicious authentic Mexican food. Everything tasted freshly homemade. 5 stars read more

Came again recently after not having been here for a few years and it must have changed a lot or maybe new cooks or a bad day The rice on our dises was dry, stale and lacking flavor. The beans were not great either, they weren't fresh or maybe even canned. My chorizo con papas plate had a little more onion than I anticipated I wished it would have been cooked a little longer as they were a little raw. Everything else was good including service. We did try queso fundido with chorizo and that was good. Chilaquiles verdes were good. I'll come back again to update read more

Goid friendly atmosphere. I had the carne asada burrito. Very mediocre. It wasn't terrible; it wasn't great. It was mostly rice. The meat was scant and was not a good cut of beef. The soda was warm. They did not have fresh salsa for the chips. read more

Delicious! Love their Sope de asada and fish tacos. Its a no frill restaurants with basic chair and tables. My kids love eating at this restaurant and we go out of our way to get it. read more

Have patience and parking tight but they are VERY GOOD. Wont hold back on recommending.

I got the simple chilaquiles plate but with both green/red sauce. It was okay. Nothing to write home about. Seemed to be missing a spice/flavor. I asked for no rice double beans and I got rice. They only serve cafe de olla (no black coffee). Many takeout orders were being picked up during my visit. I gave it three stars because I can see why people would like it...it's just not for me. read more

It was my first time here, and I gotta say I'll be returning. Everything was so fresh and authentic. Amazing food.

The whole experience from when we walked in to when we walked out was stellar and beyond satisfactory. If you find yourself near Teresa's do not hesitate to make a stop. Great service, great tasting, like its homemade, dishes that are good portions and of quality taste. Five stars read more

My wife and I had some car work done, close by and we needed to get something to eat. We saw Teresa's on Yelp, so we walked over. This is a quaint little spot in a little strip mall. We had shrimp enchiladas and a huge Fish burrito with fresh pepino limonadas. Amazing! From the rice to the beans, the fresh chips, great salsas, everything authentic and made to order. We were treated better than at even the fanciest restaurants we've been to. The chef came out to have a chat with the patrons, and shared a little about how he keeps everything tasting so authentic and delicious. Great food, great service, even an awesome playlist serenading us. We will absolutely be back again, even if we have to go out of our way to eat here. read more

One of the great joints in El Monte! It's tucked away in the corner of a strip mall, but the food here is amazing! Chilaquiles are awesome, and the staff is very attentive. The pictures of the family on the wall make it feel like home. 10/10 read more

You never go wrong with anything you order from here. Parking is accesible and customer service is impecable. A must try. read more

Man oh man!

People, if you got a hangover and live near el monte go get you a bowl from this spot, you will not be disappointed. read more

I've had Teresa's Mexican Grill booked marked for months and I finally got this try this place for breakfast ! I started with a cafe de olla, excellent! I was craving rice and beans this morning so I got the huevos con chorizo and it was so flavorful! My husband got the fan favorite torta cubano, with 2 types of meat carnitas and milanesa, and wow, you have to try this and it eat at the restaurant! I think if you order this togo it might be soggy. Excellent and friendly staff with smiles on their faces! Definitely coming back here to try more of the menu! read more

Teresa's Mexican Grill - Drinks as of 10/2022 - Mexican Near Me - El Monte, California

We came here once with a hangover and literally was cured by the pozole. We've came here now a few times and it's always been excellent food and the service is top notch! Small location and hidden treasure! Very welcoming and homely vibes read more

The cubana torta is tasty. But the bottom bread is so soggy because everything is juicy and they give lots of guacamole. The milanesa breading gets soggy too. The pulled pork is juicy. The beef burrito is good too. Equal portion of meats and beans n rice. So it's not too dry with just meats. Beans and rice is soft and flavorful. Watermelon aqua fresca is good. Very refreshing and very big cup. Sadly they didn't give us straws! We asked and they said it's in the bag...but it wasn't. Expect 10 minutes if you call to pickup. Pretty pricey tho; 3 meal + 2 drink is $45. Everything is flavorful, but hours after the meal feels so thirsty. read more

The chile rellenos and chilaquiles here are amazing! Eddie and crew were very welcoming.

Such a disappointing restaurant. I ordered chilaquiles... they were dry and the salsa tasted like it's made with vinegar? I also ordered the caldo de pollo. It was about 3/4 broth and a few slices of carrots and one chicken wing, bone and all. The only decent thing I received was an asada burrito - even though I ordered a chicken burrito. Would not recommend wasting your money here read more

Walking In the place is a small little Mexican spot to sit about 28 people the Man welcomed us in and we sat down. We got our menus and ordered chips and salsa which was really good! Next we placed our order which was a plate of carnitas beans and French fries and some chorizo queso fundido with flour tortillas. The food was really good :) read more

The food is super delicious, tastes homemade. The service is always friendly and quick! They always give me a 10 minute estimated pick up time and the food is ALWAYS ready on time! The prices are reasonable given the quantity and quality of food. They may not be in the best location, I had driven past the restaurant plenty of times without spotting them, but even with that challenge this place always has customers dining in and picking up orders. My favorites are the red chulada chilaquiles, red pozole and my husband loves their red pozole as well as the menudo con pata, and wet asada burrito. If they bottled that red sauce they use on the chilaquiles I would buy it. I scrape up every bit of that sauce from my plate. The flautas are pretty good as well. Now for the the reasons I didn't give 5 stars. They've messed up my order a handful of times, sometimes I returned to correct it or if I'm missing an item I call and they have provided a refund without me having to return. Sometimes they offer a free agua fresca when I do return to have the order corrected. Also some items have been a total miss. The carnitas plate was terribly dry, and I was given sliced pork! I as expecting juicy tender with crispy bits. Instead it was awfully dry pale looking slice of pork. Their chicken tortilla soup was meh. Kinda bland and didn't come with the garnishes (cream, cilantro and avocado) like it did on the Yelp pictures others posted. Overall, this place is great and is my favorite Mexican food restaurant in El Monte. read more

Teresa's Mexican Grill - Cafe de olla is to die for. - Mexican Near Me - El Monte, California

Their mole it's self has a really good flavor, but the burrito didn't have any thing in it but rice . Also asked for avocado and they didn't put any inside Or onion or cilantro it was one big rice burrito. We also ordered a alpastor wet burrito. It had soooo much rice also . /: hardly no meat more pineapple than meat. We spent like 46$ on 3 burritos and 2 drinks. Oh also forgot the drinks also. :( ahhh I'm sure their other items are delicious! But I wouldn't recommend coming here for burritos . read more

I go here periodically, and I have to say that everything here is delicious. I can honestly say that I've had about half of what's on their menu I've had breakfast I've had lunch I've had dinner everything from steak and eggs to taquitos. Also, the fajitas are the bomb! And the service is always great. The ladies/señoras that work there are always so friendly, it's a very nice comfortable place , the place is nice and clean. It is located in a strip mall so it's out-of-the-way but do not let that fool you. So, basically, if you're in the area, go by and grab a bite. You will not be disappointed. &&& I'm sorry I don't have any pictures. It's just the food showed up. I was starving and before you know it I had to unbuckle my belt because it was so damn good. read more

I got 2 to-go green chileaquiles that included one egg, salsa and meat. The food is extremely bland and their servings of meat are extremely small. Their salsa doesn't have any flavor either. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!! read more

We found this cozy Mexican restaurant after seeing a promising Yelp review for chilaquiles. While everyone else opted for the chilaquiles with added asada, I decided to try the enchiladas topped with egg. Overall, everyone felt the food was okay, but some felt the portions were on the smaller side for the price. Regardless, the service was friendly and attentive. read more

Chilaquiles with no eggs?? Only chips, rice and beans. Salsa on the chips was very salty, and cefe se olla very sweet. I would not come back here. read more

Teresa's Mexican Grill - Chips with queso and crean - Mexican Near Me - El Monte, California

There's a ton of Mexican food places in this area, and several are good, so for one to stand out from the others requires something really special. Teresa's is it. We've been doing a lot of ordering in, and it's not always easy to impress from a take out container. So while this review isn't taking the full dining experience into consideration, from a food standpoint, the flavors and quality of what Teresa's is putting out of their kitchen is really excellent. Their burritos are amazing, especially the al pastor, which is incredibly meaty, well seasoned and has a perfect amount of pineapple for that sweet and spicy experience. Don't even think about not getting your burrito anything but wet. You'd be missing out on it being smothered in one of their super flavorful sauces, and that would be a mistake! All the dishes we've tried are good sized portions and packed with flavor. It's probably hard to miss here. I can't wait to try more of the menu. So whether the world has opened back up and you are going inside,or your looking to eat something delicious in the coziness of your own home, this place is a solid choice. read more

This food tasted as if I was in my uncle's kitchen, and that is a compliment! It tasted so good! Authentic and home made. If your taking a one hour lunch, I advise calling the order in and just eating there or taking back to office. Jamaica was fresh, not concentrated, and food took a tiny bit but worth wait. It's fresh, so what do you expect. When I went in the had boxes on table and was wondering what the deal was, but they were packing food for those affected by LA fires read more

This place had the best carne asada plate. Grilled to order and always juicy. They also have solid menudo that is available daily. If you're a fan of chilaquiles, you won't want to miss their chulada chilaquiles. read more
