MENUDO 10/10: Oh my gosh. I love their menudo. As someone who has lived in LA their whole life, I have always struggled to find a really good menudo until I found Zermenos. The broth is thick, flavorful, and has a hint of spice. On the side they give you tortillas and all the topping you could need. You have to try it, this is my go-to menudo place! NOTES-- - Zermenos has a little parking lot in the front, it can get busy but usually, you can find a spot. - The interior is a little outdated but aside from that, the food is what shines and it is great in my opinion. - Staff has always been so sweet. read more

Zermenos Restaurant - MENUDO - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Where have our original reviews gone? What is Yelp up to? When I first moved to Hollywood, about 12 years ago, I ate at Zermenos religiously. It was a bit divey, but it was family-owned, I liked the family and I support such businesses. As the years passed the prices got steeper but the food seemed to wane; it does depend on who's cooking at the time but there was a noticeable decline and then a pretty harsh decline when the patriarch passed. His son took over and seemed to work hard keeping things going; but, I just couldn't justify the prices/food anymore and started eating elsewhere, with a visit only every few months. In May of 2025 I decided to give it a chance. I missed the place. This time it was Liliana behind the counter. She used to be the cleaner. I ordered some food, paid, and then decided to add a coke (can) and got one from the fridge. I asked how much and she says, "$4" - ! I paid so-as not to cause a scene but looked at her for some explanation. A can of coke for $4. The receipt says 'botella' but it wasn't; and, even the, $4 for a small bottle of coke? I know for a fact that my neighbor pays maximally $2 for a coke, so I felt rightly f'd. I can't recommend that place anymore. Liliana... pffft. read more

Zermenos Restaurant - $4 for a can of coke, not botella. - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We were en route to a studio tour bright and early, so I was hoping to grab breakfast somewhere a little more exciting than a fast food joint. I noticed that Zermenos was already open and it had good reviews, so it was a total no brainer. We decided to share the Breakfast Burrito and Chilaquiles Breakfast, and I also got a diet soda to go with it. The food was ready a few minutes later and was brought to our table within the very small dining area. It's incredibly tasty food. Both items were obviously prepared with a lot of care and authenticity, because they were loaded with layers of delicious flavor. I figured there was no way we could finish everything but everything was so impeccable that we wiped the plates clean. I can't recommend this joint more highly. It's a real gem. read more

Very delicious, variety in the menu. Quick service. Casual ambiance. We would def come back!

This is the spot to be if you're craving some Mexican! I always get a burrito with different proteins every time I go but my favorite is the pork in salsa verde so flavorful. The service is friendly and attentive. It is a true hole in the wall, but like they say; holes in the wall are usually the best eats! Nothing bad to say about this place, Mexican cuisine at its finest, no frills just massive taste! Have some today! read more

Had a big work order of breakfast burritos and they were fantastic! Staff was super helpful and everyone enjoyed the food

First time here, got the Gordita. super fire. Didn't even have time to take a pic. Will be back

Came for taco Tuesday. They serve tacos every day for cheap so no Tuesday special, it's $3-3.50 otherwise. They do have daily specials though. Tuesday was bistec con nopales which seemed like marinated beef strips with green peppers. Everything was good. Also got birria (goat) and barbacoa (beef). All good down to the tortilla and even the chips on the side. They have a huge menu. Cool local spot in my new hood, I'm down for it. Service is decent but mostly take out orders. Outdoor and indoor seating is otherwise normal. read more

Been eating their chorizo breakfast burrito since they were a food truck on western and fountain

So this definitely qualifies as a beautiful little hole in the wall spot! I will definitely be coming back to this place! I got the shrimp tacos, chips and guacamole, and mom got the flautas! Everything was so authentic and tasty Honestly, it's a 5 stars Personally I thought the shrimp tacos were fantastic and they had this chipotle sauce that was fantastic And of course their service was amazing Every one worked together and everyone worked hard But the thing I like most was when I heard one of the cooks working and singing at the same time This tells of a place that people love to be It's a story of home I definitely recommend this place And I hope the sing more haha read more

I was across the street getting a car wash at Beachwood car wash and I was starving. I noticed a cute, small shopping center right across the car wash. That's when I saw Zermenos Restaurant. I walked in and noticed how homy, welcoming, mellow, quaint and cute this small restaurant was. I was there on July 5th of this year. The ladies Liliana and Minerva came to my defense to help me and see what I would like to eat and drink. I ordered their Burrito with rice, beans and sour cream/guacamole on the side. May I tell you how fresh, delicious, tasty, flavorful this AUTHENTIC food was?? I enjoyed my meal and my drink which was made of pineapple and lemon. Soooooo goooood!!!!! They have 75 options of different kinds of food to try. And that is going to be on my next visit. I am going to try all 75 of them ALL AT ONCE!!:)))) Just kidding. But, I will definitely go back and try more of their dishes. Place is clean, with good vibes, have a nice, cozy patio with 4 tables under umbrellas and a side table for 2 people by their door. Also have an inside seating that is kind of hidden in the back. Overall, had a great experience with the girls who work there, the food was excellent, yummy, fresh and clean. I used to live in Hollywood, but moved out 30 years ago to be close to my son's school. I think this place opened up like 7 or8 years ago. Love Hollywood in every way!! I will definitely return to Zermenos very soon. Probably sooner than expected. PS. Also you get good portions for less money. Which is WONDERFUL & AWESOME!!:)) Keep up the great work..... employees at Zermenos and be consistent!!!Consistency is like 75% of everything that you do!! read more

Holy smokes this is my mew favorite Tex-Mex restaurant! I've only had DoorDash so far but man, if their food delivery is this good, then their dine-in must be superb! Every time I call for special requests the people on the phone are polite and accommodating. It's very hard to find good tex-mex in Hollywood on the East side- so I'm so happy I discovered them. Thank you everyone for all your efforts in providing great food at great prices. 5 stars! read more

Hidden Gem in Hollywood! Zermeno's is seriously one of my favorite little spots in LA. It's a true hole-in-the-wall, but don't let that fool you the food is amazing. Their breakfast burritos are next-level (I crave them all the time), and the fact that they serve delicious Mexican antojitos all day makes it even better. The service is always fast and friendly, and there's a real neighborhood vibe that makes you want to keep coming back. I've been hooked since I discovered it do yourself a favor and don't skip this place! read more

Amazing Mexican food. Specifically the barbacoa. Excellent service as well. Would totally come back

Considering there's literally nothing rise in the area (except Subway lol ) this place was better than it had any business being.

This is a fantastic spot to get "Mexican"?. Is it is Tex Mex? All I know is it is delicious and the staff are super friendly! As I've traveled a lot of the world, I always follow the locals and this is a perfect example! Just go!! I'm going back for the daily special on Thursdays: costillas de puerco. There are so many other options!! read more

While getting my car looked at, I wanted to go somewhere where I could enjoy a nice meal while doing some work, so I happened to drop by this cool place. I was starving and felt like ordering a chorizo burrito along with several tacos containing chicken and al pastor, respectively. There were several tables outside and luckily it was not busy during the time I visited. With food this good, I was fortunate to come during a time when it was not packed. I was thinking about saving some of what I ordered for a later time, but I had a feeling that it may taste different after not touching it for hours, so I finished it all then and there! I cannot wait till I return! read more

Delicious food. Service is fast and reliable. The restaurant offers outdoor dining. Make sure you're hungry because portions are generous.

I love places like Zermenos! The food was excellent quality. The Beans and Rice were to perfection, flavor and consistency. I also had the Enchiladas with Red Sauce which were delicious. I would say this is my new favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. I will be coming back often. It goes to show you good food does not need to be expensive to be good and that small businesses deliver high quality food. read more

I found this authentic Mexican restaurant on Doordash and decided to give it a try. We ordered the carne asada fries, carne asada burrito, al pastor tacos, and torta de carnitas and every single food was so freaking good. The meats were all so tender with the perfect marinade and seasoning. Everything was packaged very securely and nothing had spilled on the way. This place def did not disappoint and I would reorder from here, no doubt. read more

Solid little hole in the wall spot. I've only tried the breakfast burrito (chorizo) thus far, and it hasn't disappointed. Perfect size, and priced well. Chips, and salsa on the side is a perfect touch. Service was great both times. Would def recommend checking them out. read more

We found this hidden gem yesterday and I'm so glad we did! The food was hot, fresh, authentic and above all DELICIOUS! I loved the chile verde because it wasn't spicy but did have great flavor! One thing to note is if you like grano in your menudo, you need to ask for it. The cashier was so friendly and helpful. We will be coming back for lunch! read more

I love this place. Everything is delicious from the Carne Asada tacos to the steak fajitas.

Quality is great! Prices are great and it's a clean restaurant, been going here for 10 years or so. Get yourself an Asada Burrito or sopes, nachos are filling. Support local businesses read more

This place never disappoints! Breakfast and lunch options both hit hard and their aguas frescas are the perfect thirst quenchers. Must tries: chilaquiles, huevos con chorizo and the wet burrito. read more

Great service and I didn't wait much for my order. I had the chilaquiles w/ salsa verde and an horchata... it was all so good. I love how they melt the cheese on top of the chilaquiles and the salsa was on point. I didn't eat there but it was a nice spot located in a little plaza where I was getting my taxes done, so parking was easy. They also have a little patio to sit and eat outside. read more

Excellent Mexican Food! Plain and simple. The flavors are definitely authentic and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Friends of mine brought me here for dinner the other day. Yes, this is a little hole in the wall, but those are honestly the best places! We ordered the chili verde plate, carnitas plate, and the carne asada nachos. I asked for a small side of chili verde because it was screaming at me when I looked at it, telling me things like "pick me" and "eat me!" So I just had to get a little small side. The carnitas were bomb! Seriously! The flavor was deep! You could tell that they cooked that for hours. The Chile verde was so damn tender and flavorful! That's another bomb dish! In fact, I will probably get that next time. The staff is super nice. My friends are regulars here, so they started yelling and cheering and passing greetings once we walked in. Definitely a family type vibe! read more
