My wife and I decided to the East L.A./Boyle Heights area for breakfast, we went to a restaurant called Teresitas restaurant on First Street that my brother and his friend recommend to have a ready authentic Mexican cuisine from the state of Zacatecas,Mexico. We step in the restaurant we adore the decorations in the restaurant including the nice colors that matches the restaurant flair of Mexico. The waitress greets us they told us table or booth we decided booth and we sat down and she hand us the menu then we're looking at the menu and see what to order. My wife order the chorizo plate and choice of flour or corn tortillas she pick flour,then I order a large bowl of menudo because it's Saturday it's menudo day Saturday and Sunday. We tasted the chips and homemade salsa it was very good we're impressed about the homemade green salsa it wasn't hot but with great flavor of chile and was very impressive and chips were nice warm and fresh from the fryer. Then the waitress brought us our meal we're very impressed with the food including my large bowl of menudo. I really enjoy my bowl of menudo it was very good the meat was very tender that I really enjoy I like lemon,onion,oregano add it flavor to the menudo. My wife enjoy her chorizo plate she like the rice and beans it a very good rich flavor but chorizo was ok she say it didn't have a good chorizo flavor but she like it. The staff at the Teresitas were amazing nice and friendly with the service. read more

Went for Mother's Day with my sister and brother. Not much to say here. They were out of almost all the breakfast staples. Paid extra for a piece of meat and it was not north the up charge. Horrible serving amount. Orange juice was Luke warm overpriced. I wouldn't come back here. Food was ok. Service was ok. Overall not a good experience. read more

This family-owned and operated restaurant has been in business for 45 years. It's a staple in the East Los Angeles area. The family recipes originated in Zacatecas, Mexico have been passed down from generation to generation. The traditional dishes, house-made sauces keep their loyal customers returning. The colorful restaurant decor is very welcoming. One wall has awards, newspaper articles and proclamations from elected officials that recognizes their contributions to the community. I recommend dining during lunch for the combo meals $15. Happy Hour specials are available Tuesday-Friday from 3PM-7PM. My dinner for two was $60 (coffee and soda, no alcoholic beverages). You will enjoy the service and authentic food. Sincerely, Rosemary read more

Let's start with food, I came here with my two brothers, and all three of us shared the same opinion nice presentation food and service different story. We went on Mother's Day and asked for a booth as my brothers stand over 6'3 (they wanted to be comfy) we were denied although all booths were empty. So our introduction was already weird from the start. Nevertheless we proceed to order our food. They're only a few other guests in the restaurant we could count the tables on one hand. We ordered enchiladas , Chilaquiles , shrimp tacos , sope & chile relleno (our experience is well endowed) they were out of nearly everything on their menu which is why everything is so different - add more Serrano peppers to your sauce and season it with chicken bouillon!! Sauce was not mild it was tomato puree. Everything had the same flavor I think we just went on an off day because the presentation was amazing !! Service was great !!!! Huge shoutout to our waitress who was doing her best !!! To the man who was there that day making seating arrangements. You should be more than obliged to give customers the option to make requests on where they sit especially when it's empty and continued to stay empty throughout the duration of our 1 hour reservation. read more

First time going to Teresitas restaurant our experience was nothing short of spectacular from parking to the delicious food and service. I invited my mom wife and my two sister in laws for breakfast. What we ordered for breakfast as followed. Menudo. 2 orders of Huevos Rancheros. Huevos con Chorizo. Nopales con Huevo all served with coffee. We all praise and compliment the cooks for making our delicious food. As well as the server for providing us with excellent service. Thank you for making our first but not are last a wonderful experience. I already told my family and friends about Teresitas. I highly recommend to everyone. Once again thank you read more

I had the steak ranchera with guacamole, and it was excellent! The skirt steak was well seasoned (very flavorful), juicy and meaty. The beans were not pasty at all; they were full of body and had a nice bite. The rice was like I remember from eating friends homes when I was a child (I loved it). The service was friendly as was the ambiance. The food came hot and made with love. I really enjoyed this place a lot. They have a parking lot, btw. They have tables and booths, and the bathroom was really clean. read more

Plenty of parking, spacious location, authentic delicious Mexican food. Service was great, I went for lunch during the week and it was great to see a combination of locals & workers stopping by for a delicious meal. Great prices too. Will definitely be back with the family. read more

I've become a regular here! It's good and tastes homemade. It's simple traditional flavors you can count on. I haven't had a bad dish here. Also love the family friendly environment, the owners & staff are always very welcoming and attentive. Another perk is that they have a free parking lot! It's great for groups too! I work in the area and we bring people here all the time. When someone asks where can we go to eat? This is where I recommend. Did I mention a free and easy parking lot?! Food I've had here: Calabasitas, fideo, sopes, burritos, burrito Azteca (so good & massive), enchiladas, guacamole, taquitos, flautas, caldos, and my favorite is Wednesday's special-puerco en salsa. As you can tell I've had a lot of their menú. Usually at restaurants I don't like to change it up after I like something because I hate to be disappointed, but this place hasn't disappointed me once yet. Highly recommend! read more

I really enjoyed my visit, food was good, vibes were awesome and the server was great. People really like this place, it was busy the entire time and we had gone for Sunday breakfast. A large family had gotten together for a birthday. Portions were a little on the larger side but nothing humongous. The only reason I wont be returning is because of the prices. My husband and I each got a chilaquiles plate with steak, a regular coffee and a coke. Prices were steep, we paid over $60. Don't think we got a whole ass steak either, it was just a few chunks, but nothing to justify the price. Good but no thanks, there's so many places in east LA that have good reasonably priced food. read more

In my eyes, Teresita's is one of ELA's best Mexican restaurant. With its classic Mexican dishes to festive ambiance, and impeccable service. You won't be disappointed by coming here and will have a great dinning experience. We came today for Sunday Brunch to celebrate my wife's step mother's birthday. We were a party of 6 and got seated pretty quickly. Our waitress immediately greeted us and took our drink order and brought chips and salsa to our table. I had the egg combination that came with potatoes, beans, and bacon. My wife had the chilaquiles that came with beans, potatoes, and eggs. Both dishes were incredible and so delicious. The entire table enjoyed their meal and we all had a great time celebrating the birthday girl. Our waitress was amazing and brought Flan with a candle which just made our step mom's day. This is definitely our go to spot when in the area, we've been coming here for years. We always recommend this spot to family and friends. I've brought co-workers here and they'll drive from the OC to eat here. read more

BEST ORANGE JUICE HERE I'm definitely going to be a regular. The food was fresh and flavorful, clean establishment, friendly attentive service and unlimited free chips and salsa FTW! More reasons why to dine be - fresh squeezed orange juice was SOOOO GOOD! - chilaquiles w/ carne cooked perfectly chips were still crunchy, red sauce typical (could've used more heat) and the asada was tender - kids quesadilla plate great - enchiladas plate came out hot and yummy - added a beef soup which was really good! Big chunk of tender meat with veggies - they use quality beef here Gracias! read more

I decided to try out this restaurant after viewing and Instagram video from Edward James Olmos, he said Teresita's had the best Mexican food in L.A. I visited Teresita's today and the food was good, but not as good as other places I have eaten at. While I was eating my food I overheard the waitress tell another customer that they had fresh handmade tortillas, so when she came to my table to check on us, I asked her for a side order of them and she told me they had just ran out...really??? Interesting you just offered them to the other table but now you're out of them...okay sure...then I recalled they had a sign as soon as you walked in stating they had "capirotada" today. During another time she came back to our table to pick up the plates, I asked her if we could get a capirotada plate so my mom could try it, she said unfortunately they didn't have any, they only have it Friday and weekdays if they have any left over. So, I told her they had a sign by the front door saying they were serving it today. So, she said no sorry we don't have any. I thanked her for her services and paid our bill. Overall, the restaurant was clean and the food was good, but this restaurant will be on my never again list. read more

Every time we come . Delicious new dishes ! Great service ! Thank you Antonio for a great place !! read more

We have ate at Teresitas's 2 times now and we will continue to visit any chance we get. The food is delicious and very authentic. We truly felt like we were at home. The waitresses are very welcoming and attentive. We had the privilege to meet Teresita herself and she shared some of her stories of her childhood and how she learned to cook. They have their own parking lot and plenty of in door space. If you are in the East Los area stop by you won't be disappointed! read more

The plain carne asada burrito lacked meat ...only rice and beans . The topped salsa lacked flavor

This is a casual family restaurant that has been here for years. Came for lunch after a meeting with a group of friends, after not being here for many years. Decor and ambience is great, and we had a nice table for 6 of us. Review of food, however is mixed: - Complimentary tortilla chips - 1/5 - they were stale. - Machaca and Eggs - 4/5 - I ordered this dish and really enjoyed it! The machaca and eggs had tomato chunks, green peppers and onions and was flavorful. Came with beans and potatoes in a tomato-ey sauce which were both good. - Menudo - 1/5 - JJ ordered this, as he absolutely loves menudo. But he didn't like it, and definitely would not recommend it. He couldn't eat it, because it smelled and had a bad taste (worse than canned menudo). Our friend also ordered the menudo, and he could not eat it either. So our friend ordered a plate of machaca and eggs, which he enjoyed. JJ also had some of his machaca which he also liked. Service was friendly and efficient. I am bumping up my overall score from 2 to 3, because JJ took home his leftover menudo and tried doctoring it up the next day. He added Las Palmas red Chile enchilada sauce (which he usually adds to canned menudo). It tasted okay, and he was able to eat it. So it wasn't a total waste. read more

I've been coming here since I was little, and it has only gotten better. My mom used to go with her mom, and now me and my mom go together. The man who owns the business has always been so nice and welcoming, and they just added a beautiful portrait of his mother that adds to the vibrant space. The food always tastes so fresh and it's never too much or too little food like some other restaurants. Fair prices for amazing food! We even came on Cinco de Mayo and didn't have to wait too long for a table for two. I can't wait to bring my kids here. read more

Late review but stumbled upon this restaurant a few weeks ago. We were starving with a group of friends and we went here based on the reviews. It was a very hot sunny day and the inside was not to fresh but it was cool enough to enjoy our meals. We enjoyed a variety of plates that literally look the same but each tasted different! The burrito could have been a bit more flavorful with the meat and sauce but it did the job. Everyone said the food was good just a bit more flavor would have made a difference. Customer service was great and they even have a celebratory flan for one of our friends. Oh... the salsas are not spicy and literally feels like two spoonfuls of sauce in the little container... times are tough! The decor inside is cultural and colorful. The prices are decent. About $120 to $130 for 5 people including drinks. Ample parking! read more

Great place to catch up with friends for a chat. No loud obnoxious noise or music. read more

Quality ingredients come through in this authentic Mexican eatery. I have been enjoying their cuisine for years and the customer service is welcoming and attentive. I recently met a friend for lunch and ordered the mole, chicken and cheese enchiladas. Mole is a complex sauce, and the 30 plus ingredients came through. Chicken was moist and tortillas still kept their original soft texture. The cafe latte was my surprised delight. Nice and foamy, with a smooth milky consistency. Glad to see the place is still popular with its lively feel and variety of options. read more

This is an amazing place to visit. The food is so good. My partner and I have come here 3 times now and are always craving it. It really is like a home cooked meal but elevated. The food tastes fresh, authentic, and consistent. Every bite is like a kiss on your forehead from your grandma after a long day. You leave the restaurant feeling love in your belly and in your soul. A true gem in East Los Angeles. Comforting, healing, and delicious! The owner and staff are very friendly. The owner is also very knowledgeable and shares stories about the restaurant or about food history! Will be back again soon! 10/10 recommend coming at least once if not regularly! read more

Lived around the ELA area my entire life and for the 1st time, we stopped by Teresitas for Brunch. I must say it was the best choice to make. We ordered the Chilaquiles with Eggs and Steak. Mind you the steak portion piece is not huge BUT the entire plate was worth it. The GREEN chilaquiles are spicy the Red is just as good but not spicy at all. The servers are pleasant and courteous, the place gets full but well worth it. I recommend this place for the environment, food, and staff. read more
