Reliable spot when the craving for rolled tacos strikes. The 3 rolled tacos covered with guacamole and shredded cheese and handful of chips prepared to order hits the spot every time. It's just the right amount to kill the hunger without overdoing it. There's a small parking lot in back and hours are until midnight so it's a good spot for late night too. Service was fast. The room is pretty basic with counter seating in the windows and a handful of tables. read more

Great little taco shop at Fairfax & Beverly. It was everything I expected. The rolled tacos were great with just enough guacamole and cheese to capture the taste without being too much that you felt the taco was a spoon to scoop the toppings with. The cheese quesadilla hit the spot with its over sized tortilla and plenty of melted cheese. Dipping it in the green sauce... yes. My Midwest taste buds went into over drive tasting quality West Coast Mexican food. The staff was friendly. The restaurant was a little on the small size. There were a few tables but this is mostly meant for take out. There is limited parking in the back so peak times may get tricky. Also, the stickers on the door indicate they take credit cards but the day I went was cash only. Glad I tried this place. Definitely would return if I was local. read more

There's a ton of small Taco shops around LA that make good food, but I had to give Benito's a shout out because they do one particular dish exceptionally well. Food: 5/5. THE Taquitos are bomb-tastic! Succulent and flavorful with guacamole and cheese on top. A lot of places seem to rush this dish. Dry, unflavored, with no guacamole or cheese, seems to be the standard: BUT NOT BENITO'S! So far they're the closest I've had to the legendary taquitos at Juanita's Taco Shop in Leucadia, San Diego, back in the day. The horchata and burritos are solid, here, but it's the taquitos that you gotta try. I'd probably eat them every day if I lived near here, which is why Benito's deserves a 5/5. read more

3.5 rounded up. Benito's has been in the neighborhood for years. This is the one spot where you can get something to eat late at night when many of the other restaurants close at 9pm I have had a few things on the menu but the only reason to come here are the rolled tacos. They are generously topped with guacamole and cheese and with a side of rice and beans, you are guaranteed to be full and satisfied. Any thing outside of the rolled tacos are okay and frankly forgettable. Interior is your usual taco shop, with ample seating but a small dining area. I never have seen it crowded as many of the customers order takeout. Staff is friendly and helpful . read more

If you're looking for San Diego style Mexican food, Benito's will scratch that itch. Not an exact duplicate, but it gets the job done. The Carne Asada is a hit or miss depending on what time of day you go in. Usually its kept in a warming container for speed. My go to's are Carne Asada Fries + Beef Rolled Tacos with Cheese and Guac. The red and green salsas are standard. Price point is normal for LA and the guys cooking are chill. A straight forward no frills taco shop for sure. It's reliable and classic. Will always return as they have been doing the thing for awhile now and you know what to expect. read more

I admit I haven't been in a while but was craving their bean and cheese burrito. I discovered this spot in 2021 when I so sick that their bean and cheese was one of a few items I could eat. It was SO BIG needed both hands to eat. Bursting with so much beans needed to get it doulble wrapped. I would tell everyone about this place. My husband would drive round trip over an hour for me get this from 2021 to 2023. 2024 to 2025 haven't really been much just because of life. Well today was craving it and drove 40 mins one way. When I say disappointed I'm being nice. The flavor was there however where are the beans?? I didn't need to doulble wrap at all. Would I go back maybe. IF I'm on that side of town but to not to go out of my way, gas is to expensive for a hit n miss. read more

Benito's Taco Shop - Bean and cheese...where's the beans?? Barely - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

So this joint has been there for years. For my money the thing to have here are the rolled Tacos. Coated is guac and cheese. Oh so good It's hole in the wall joint with enthusiasm behind the counter. Service was quick. Sorry no pictures my tacos were gone that quick. My wife had a burrito with carnitas. It was delicious. If you are in the area of Beverly and Fairfax and hungry then Benitos is a great choice!! read more

I love this place but It's now $18 to get nachos with beans and jalapeños which should come with nachos :(

This is one of my top spots to get a breakfast burrito in Los Angeles. It's not a fancy, new, hip place that has tater tots and aioli in their burritos. BUT it does have an authentic flour tortilla, along with diced fried potatoes that are of the perfect consistency. Not to mention the prices are as reasonable as LA gets. I always get the egg and potato burrito which also comes with cheese, eggs and beans. It's sooo good with their green and red salsa. I always have to ask for extra salsa because I need some in every bite. I got the rolled tacos today for the first time, which is allegedly what they are famous for. Very good! Might have to throw that item in our menu rotation. read more

I've been trying to find good burritos in LA so I thought I would give Benito's taco shop a try. When my burrito got delivered it was MASSIVE. Really get a bang for your buck here. Ingredients were good, but I found the entire burrito to be super bland. The chicken kind of tasted like nothing. It was slightly disappointing. It felt like no seasoning or spices were used on anything. Salsa and chips were nice, I'll need to give the burrito a second chance on another day. Maybe the bean and cheese would have been a better option. read more

Staff was nice, but food quality has sharply declined. Carne Asada burrito was not carne asada. It was cubed beef from a can. Saw the cans near register and thought nothing of it until I bit in. It was horrible and I tossed over half of it. I'm an LA native and I've been going to Benitos for over 20 years, however not recently... until yesterday. Very, very disappointed in the grift. read more

Anyone giving Benito's a bad review, are the kind of people who think ketchup is spicy. This is exactly the kind of Mexican food you want and crave. The bean and cheese burrito is classic and pure and all knowing - the crunchy tacos and shredded beef are immaculate, the rolled tacos are classic and delicious. Can't say enough about this institution. read more

I used to frequent the Benito's in West LA and it was fantastic, so I decided to DoorDash some food from them. The taste was the same, still good, but the burritos were so loosely rolled/wrapped that they didn't hold together at all. They fell apart and made a huge mess. read more

Carne asada fries and burrito were delicious and authentic. The reviews stating that the food is bland must be from authors who have previously never had a burrito. The red salsa is spicy and DELICIOUS. Hint: the salsa goes on the burrito. Will be back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Open going here for over 20 years and I can't believe I've never given a review... But for 20 years this has been consistently great Mexican food and I highly recommend it. The hours are great parking could be tricky but if you park next to the gas station there is a lot... Highly recommend... Great service and a great place to eat.! no nonsense tacos!!! read more

I've been going to Benito's for 20+ years. I used to go to the one on Santa Monica Blvd. near Federal, but that's been gone for some time now. It's harder for me to get to this one, but it's still worth the trip. I saw another review saying that it's not trying to pretend it's something it's not, and I think that's spot on. It's just solid taco shop food, unpretentious, and reliably delicious. I love the quesadilla, which is in a big, somewhat translucent tortilla, and the rolled tacos which are never crispy but that's because they're slathered in guacamole and cheese and hit the spot every single time. My wife loves the bean burrito. The breakfast burritos as great as well. It's reasonably priced, the food hits the spot, and the salsa is plentiful and delicious. It fills a similar niche to a place like Tito's, but I would pick Benito's every single time. read more

I've liked this place for a long time. Its no-nonsense burritos place with very reasonable prices. The seating area is also no-nonsense; nothing fancy but okay for watching the world go by on Beverly Blvd and always an empty table or counter seat. They have a few parking spaces in the back. Food is fast. The burritos are a good size. I like that they minimize the use of single use plastics by using paper bags and paper to wrap the burritos. Only the salsa cups are plastic. Their salsa is surprising good, and the red one has a good kick. read more

Benito has been here at this location for over (2) decades!! I haven't done a review in a long time, been more than a minute. IMO, the food here is not very spicy.... We are in 'Beverly Grove' .... The tacos here are Massive size ($ 3.99) I ordered 2 , 0ne of these almost did me in It's like 4 fast food tacos in one tortilla! It's very sloppy but it's chicken broth Stew juice. By the way the interior is very drab & doesn't feel like a fiesta.... read more

Benito's Taco Shop - Five (5) Rolled Tacos (with Guacamole & Cheese) - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was pleasantly surprised by this taco shop. I ordered from a delivery app and took a gamble since the items didn't have images. I would usually disregard any place that doesn't have images because I often choose based on how the food looks! But since the food was so inexpensive, I decided to give it a try. The food was good and cheap! I got the rolled tacos and machaca plate. The salsas were nice and flavorful too, which doesn't always happen. I'll definitely be back! Maybe even today read more

One of my favorite taco spots in LA. There's something about the carne asada burrito - I think maybe it's the guac and flavor of the tortilla. Makes it taste similar to a SD style asada burrito... sooooo good. Something I often crave read more

Very impressed with this place. Ordered the California burrito with carne asada. Huge portions came with chips and salsa. The cashier was very nice and service was fast. Not sure what these mixed reviews are for, this place was exactly what I needed for lunch. I work around the area and lunch options are dismal, very happy places like this are still operating. Overall very happy and would definitely come back. read more

Benito's Taco Shop - Three (3) Rolled Tacos (with Guacamole & Cheese) - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I think my review for Benito's would be better if they didn't include the sour cream like I requested. The first 5 minutes of this burrito was great. Not as warm as I would like, but the size is definitely the most redeeming factor. Its fillings are pretty standard, but it taste good overall. I just think this place is hilarious. No decoration, there's a giant storage unit right next to the cashier, no bathrooms, no available salsas or condiments. Straight outta Mexico. At $15, Benito's is mostly a good bargain. The rolled tacos are a nice little add on that I enjoyed. Would I rush over again? Probably not, but I'd say give it a whirl especially if you're in the Fairfax area. read more

I eat here soooo much. Too much? Food is delicious and consistent. Breakfast, lunch or dinner you can't go wrong. I love Benito's.

Spent $20 on a chicken burrito to have it have no chicken in it. Been going for over 20years and they suck now. Not worth a penny. Skinny burrito without the meat paid for in it. And refused to refund my money with the burrito in their face. Never again shut down like La Cienega location please read more

My favorite place for carne asada fries!! The asada meat is seasoned perfectly and good quality! Definitely stop by!

Let me start by telling why I only have 2 stars- I found on Yelp that they have Yaqui today... which I haven't had any since I moved to AZ. Anyhow, I wanted some good chicken rolled tacos-with everything!!! Diet be darned!!! Mask on, debit card in hand- I burst in the restaurant! No tables available due to social distancing- awesome! Went to the counter to order my chicken taquitos.... they burst my bubble with no apologies. THEY DON'T MAKE CHICKEN TAQUITOS !!!!!!!! What kind of establishment does not have chicken taquitos??!!?!?!!!?!? Only beef. So... hi at your own risk. I turned around and walked out dejected. The end. read more
