Great and delicious food! A hidden gem in Paramount that serves amazing and non greasy food. I love Mexican food and I dislike when I can see my food drenched in oil. I've ordered several dishes at Antojitos Mexicanos Restaurant and they're not cooked in an excessive amount of oil and my stomach always feels good and content afterwards. I recommend this cozy restaurant to anyone who loves authentic Mexican food. read more

My wife and I took a drive to Long Beach yesterday and after we finished a planned activity in the morning, we were hungry and wanted something to eat. We turned to Yelp and wanted a Mexican restaurant with very high reviews. At the top of the list was Antojitos Mexicanos Restaurant. We took a very short drive to Paramount and walked in not knowing what to expect. One of the first things that I noticed were the sombreros on the wall towards the back of the restaurant and a nice sized TV right next to it. My wife and I got a great vibe from the place so we decided to place our order. I ordered a carne asada quesadilla with rice and beans and my wife ordered a chicken place with rice and beans. Both dishes tasted like they were "home made" and my wife and I kept commenting on the food not realizing that the owner was eating at the table right behind us! He came over, introduced himself, and gave us a sample of a drink that they make in-house. We felt very welcome in the place and it was easy to see why they have gotten such great reviews. We look forward to returning the next time that we are in the area. read more

Really don't reccomend if your coming for menudo it's a small portion for what you pay compared to other places. Also they leave the bones in here and barely any pieces read more

Great food and at a reasonable price, we got the Bombazo and the Bistek en salsa roja extra spicy but both items where very flavorful and well proportioned, would recommend and definitely come back here read more

Small portions, not good service at all. We order and paid two dishes to make one decent one. Owner/cashier didn't offer to compensate for the poor serving. Will not be back. read more

Worst wet burrito. Not only did they give me green instead of red sauce but the burrito itself didn't fit in the Togo container leaving no room for sauce. Highly disappointed. read more

Antojitos Mexicanos Restaurant - This was supposed to be a wet burrito. It was the driest burrito I have ever eaten in my life. The chicken was really dry and salty. - Mexican Near Me - Paramount, California

In the area on business and felt like some Mexican food. I ordered the street taco plate, 2 asada & 2 chorizo. I will say this, something about traditional street tacos that get me excited. Just a small tortilla, cilantro, onions and salsa. The ones made to cater to the typical american palate that include tomatoes, cheese, etc....just don't do it for me. The tacos were freshly made to order and very good. The have a wide selection of dishes (chilaquiles,flautas,carnita en salsa verde and much more) one of my other favorites is cactus (nopales). Perhaps next time in the area I will try that. I gave them four stars for one reason only, selection of taco meats. Much like my sushi, I prefer more exotic choices like, tripas, buche,cabeza, etc.....while chx,asada,carnitas & chorizo will do fine for the masses I prefer the exotics more. I digress, place is clean staff is friendly and with my lunch I received some freshly made tortilla chips and salsa. The salsa is served warm (nice touch) and has just enough kick to keep you dipping for more. All & all very enjoyable lunch, I will be back. read more

I love Mexican food and snacks. It's delicious and affordable. The kids and I absolutely love this place.

Lunch time for party of 5 please . Let me first start off by saying the hospitality was amazing the owner was so attentive, polite, engaging and had a real passion for his business. The timing and presentation of food could not have been any better. The food was fresh made to order and well plated. I had asked for Jamaica, however the drink of choice was horchata. The owner offered me an alternative which was bottled Jamaica. The brand was called Agua Lucha. Let's just say I'll be ordering a case of these wonderful beverages made with real agave and cane sugar.. Overall the whole entire party enjoyed their food, enjoyed the conversation and enjoy this lovely establishment.. read more

Great Mexican family owned restaurant. Keep this place open. Suggestions: the molcajete, the super burrito, quesadilla de loroco. You can also ask for a table outside during this whole pandemic thing. read more

This place was really good!! I had the green chilaquiles and they were amazing, they taste like a good home cooked meal

What a perfect little find. Love the authenticity of this restaurant. Upon first walking in, it doesn't appear there are too many options on the "menu" posted above the counter. However, as you look around more, you can see different pictures of dishes around the restaurant. I chatted with the owner, who was extremely friendly and helpful, and he assisted my friend and I decide on our dishes. Since there were no menus, we appreciated his input and recommendations. I ordered chicken enchiladas and my friend got four tacos of each kind of meat option available - 2 different pollo options, carnitas, and carne asada. Of course, we had to order guacamole too. The food was made fresh to order. I even watched as they made fresh sauce for the enchiladas. Wow! The chips are also homemade. Everything was delicious! I didn't plan on eating all three enchiladas but they were too good to leave on the plate. The rice reminded me of my abuela's homemade rice so that was a nice, sentimental touch to the dish. My friend also ate every last bite of her dish. She said her favorite of the four tacos was the carnitas taco. I tried a bite and would have to agree. I'm sad I don't live closer to this little gem as I'd probably be a regular. However, whenever I return to Paramount, I'll definitely be back. read more

The outcome was great! Really fresh food, great flavors and family-friendly atmosphere. Great chips and salsa to start! Ordered the corn truffle quesadilla and the mole chicken (3) enchilada plate. I don't typically eat mushrooms, but the corn truffle quesadilla was delicious and wasn't short of anything. The mole chicken enchilada plate was perfect. The mole was rich and the chicken was simple, as were the rice and beans, which went perfectly with the whole plate. Handmade corn tortillas were also delicious and moist. Only downfall of the experience was the ordering process. As others have stated, they don't have a printed full menu. The corn truffle quesadilla combination plate comes with two quesadillas based on the pictures, so when I told the young guy at the counter "a la carte", I assumed there would be two quesadillas - not one as we received. Hopefully a full menu with details is soon in their future. Would love to visit Ricardo again to try more of the menu. read more

Homemade tortillas, carne en su jugo. Great service and a small business. I haven't had a dish here that I didn't like.

Just finished eating here with my boyfriend for our anniversary breakfast and it was AMAZING. So happy we decided to stop and try it because it was more than worth it. We ordered chilaquiles and they were the best we've ever bought. Even the portions were perfect. This place is a must try! read more

Was feeling a lil sick today and I just wanted something cozy and warm to eat. I have had this place bookmarked for a while and saw that everyone gets carne en su jugo. What's crazy is my fam is Mexican and from Jalisco and I've never had this. Boy was I missing out. It's like a spicy firjoles charros with beef. My mom got the same and it was so good with the home made tortillas they give you. We were super happy! So glad I finally got to come here. read more

Among one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area and my personal favorite. I eat here too infrequently to my own dismay. It is however better to have dined and enjoyed than to have never experienced the genuine flavors of Antojitos Mexicanos. Everything about this place from just a glance seems so stereotypical hole-in-the-wall taquiria, but once you get past the cardboard menu and talk to whomever may running the cash register, you quickly realize that most of the magic happens off the menu. Suffice it to say that any experience or perception you have of the restaurant will not do justice to the food until it is in front of you and you are voraciously inhaling/gently savoring every bite. The hand made tortillas (tortillas hecho en mano) are simply delectable whether they are cradling perfectly charred pastor or using it as a vehicle for chile rellano. The carnitas here is no less than epic; fatty and juicy with full pork flavor, almost as if it were made from the belly of the hog. I've eaten some of the best hurraches I've ever had here and even something as simple as a quesadilla or a carne asada plate is masterfully crafted. Among the many surprises that is Antojitos Mexicanos are the plates themselves. As some one who cooks a lot themselves, I can tell when care is taken in the food and it is abundantly clear of the care taken within presentation itself. Each plate coming out of that kitchen looks as if it is the point of pride. There are many good places to get a taco in this area but I feel Antojitos Mexicanos sets themselves apart by paying attention to every detail involving the cuisine. If you love authentic home made Mexican food, avoid my mistake, eat here more often. read more

My sister brought me here for lunch and I was amazed. We had the Carna asada and I don't think I've had better. The rice and beans were spot on. And home made tortillas to top it off. I will be back. read more

This is authentic Mexican food at its finest. It is a small gem hidden in a small plaza that could be easily overlooked. The ambiance may be casual but the quality and integrity of each dish is so flavorful. And it's not greasy! Not even the tacos! On any given weekend you can see their signature dish- the molcajete at every single table. Every stone pot sizzles and I'm pretty sure the chorizo and cheese are made in-house. The carne asada is so incredibly tender and plated that you really do forget where you are. The chicken milanesa is seasoned just right. I think I've tried half the menu and I've never been disappointed. The owner takes authentic Mexican food seriously and you can tell in his cooking. He's an experienced chef and this is legit Mexican cuisine. read more

Came in to visit on a Sunday afternoon for some menudo. The staff was friendly, but unorganized. Right away the cashier explained that there would be a longer wait than usual because they just received a big order. Everything is made from scratch and we waited about 40 minutes for our food to arrive. The food was actually amazing, but only if you're willing to wait. The menudo I ordered was delicious, and my fiancé said that her sopes was better than King Taco. You can tell that all the tortilla was fresh and made to order. Spent just over 20$ for the both of us on some really authentic delicious Mexican food. But only if you're willing to WAIT! read more

This would be my first time coming here and possibly only time. I entered the restaurant not knowing the menu and as I glanced at the menu while standing in front of the counter. The cashier(young girl) did not acknowledge me or greet me and just seemed to be on her cellphone. I then placed an order of tacos. Sat down and saw the cook had finished preparing my food and gave it a minute for it to be delivered as I did not know if they did. Yet, the same cashier was sitting at a table just on her phone while my food was waiting on the counter getting cold. The nice cool saw me there still waiting and greeted me and handed me the food and offered if I needed any more salsa(such a kind gesture). Food and ambiance feel was good overall, but the service I received was not up to par of other review experiences I saw. Might have to rethink coming back here again, if anything & giving this business one more try. read more
