No nos habían decepcionado tanto como hoy. Casi siempre vamos a comprar chicharrones o maíz y esta vez se pasaron. El maíz era para pozole y estaba oscuro y parecía q ya se iba a echar a perder. No nos devolvieron todo el dinero cuando lo quisimos devolver tampoco. Nomas lo de arriba estaba bueno. This was such a bad experience. If you're going to buy maíz, go elsewhere. The maíz they sold us was going bad and they still had the audacity not to refund us. When we received it we tried taking out all the pieces that weren't good and we realized that half the bag was going bad. Take a look. read more

La Blanquita Tortilleria - Mexican Near Me - El Monte, California

Awesome tortillería and carnicería in El Monte. Great variety of carnitas and chicharrones for those tacos. They have a full Mexican butcher onsite, and the meats look fresh. Plenty of veggies and groceries for cooking up any of your favorite Mexican or Hispanic specialties. The chicharrones and carnitas I bought were super delicious. I made some tacos with their tortillas and salsas. Bomb.com read more

La Blanquita Tortilleria - Mexican Near Me - El Monte, California

Made tamales for the first time and used two different masa. The other masa did not work out but the one from this spot worked did not need any salt ect. Definitely getting this masa again. read more

Amazing local market that is bigger than it looks. The meats and produce are fresh and delicious. The fresh tortilla chips come in a resealable bag, which is a great idea, not that they will last long at my house. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. read more

Carnicería with good quality meats. Plus the seasoning used for the marinade is spot on! Fast and prompt service Everyone was friendly and polite Didn't try the fresh tortillas but I will be coming back. Overall, they had everything a little Mexican market should have and the ambience was typical for this kind of place. read more

Their tortillas are good there meats are good too , there Pan Dulce is good , carnitas always fresh

Went to the La Blanquita Restaurant and they took about 30min for 5 tacos. Lots of employees and everyone was to busy chit chatting. Lots of customers were upset due to them being on their lunch break and practically waiting 30min for a taco. Good food but customer service horrible. read more

Just bought eggs today that usually cost $4 a flat and today they were $8 a flat. When I ask why they were so much and I was told that egg company sent them a letter and they instructed the store to charge $8 a flat for now on!!!! In a time like this it can be considered price gouging!!!! read more

The food was good and hand made tortillas is what I went for. They did not disappoint.

The goodies I LOVE are the fresh tortillas, masa preparada para tamales and their marinated carne asada. Produce is a little overpriced but I don't buy any of that here. read more

Favorite place to buy tender meat, not to mention their fresh made tortillas for those who know like taco truck owner buying packs of them every time I see. read more

We have tried their masa to make our tamales and we totally fell in love. It has been the best of the masa we have tried read more

My mom just brought home a lb of carnitas and a small container of beans for 19$!!!! If the carnitas were good I'd understand but they are all fat and so hard around the edges!!! This place used to be good, that's changed... don't waste your money here!!! I really feel like driving allll the way back to El Monte for my money back but I guess I'll just take this one as a loss!!! SO DISAPPOINTED!!! read more

I usually come here for rice and beans however there is a lady that refuses to sell them to me. All the other ladies sell them to me but she never does. It's fine. I will happily take my business to the taco guys right across the street! read more

The best carniceria around. We always get are carne asada here it's always marinated so good never a disappointment

Great service! We always use them. Everyone is really attentive and polite! The best meat in town..

The buche tacos, cheese tamales were so delicious and seasoned very well. The tortillas were really good and soft. The pork tamales and chile relleno were on the salty side. The carne asada taco - more of chopped meat were overcooked and dry. The raw carne asada from the market was ok. One of my concern eating or buying food from here is the sanitation part. Place needs a thorough cleaning from walls to ceiling, lots of piled up different things all over makes it look like almost closing for business for good. If they just keep the place clean, I would come back just for the buche taco and cheese tamales. read more

When I think about quality, it has to be La Blanquita, first and foremost whenever I'm in El Monte. Our family has frequented this location for over twenty years. Their guacamole, hot salsas, and warm, fresh tortillas are some of the best in the area. I love coming here and sometimes snag a pound of carnitas for the road. It's too good not to pass up. You can find just about everything there, well priced, and convenient location also. I have a lot of good memories there, great masa for tamales, there's just a lot of "goodness" when it comes to this place. I'm a loyal fan and will return soon! read more

See all

My grandma would always buy our flour tortillas from this place since I was 7yrs old. I'm 43yrs old now and I still come here all the way from Montclair just to buy my flour tortillas. read more

Great tres leches cake! Definitely recommend, sweet & savory, not to heavy and the fruit is so fresh! Great price!

Everything here is over priced. I don't mind paying a little extra to avoid going to big store but it's so unorganized trying to order meat. And disgusting service by people who hate their job. read more

The chicken and beef tamales are amazing! Love the ranchera meat prepared. The beans are ok at times. A bit watery, don't always taste the same. The rice could use more flavor. As well as the grilled chicken. The salsa verde is good. read more

this really is a all in one place, carnitas are awesome, they have fresh ((warm)) corn tortillas everyday! And this is the only place my family get's their meat from...for people who shop there, they know this is the place to get quality meat, tortillas, and masa for tamales! They restaurant next door is good too, mostly mexican fast food... their huaraches are the bomb! Bread is good too, especially their hot bolillo's and rosca de reyes! read more

Its rare that I give 5 stars but this place deserves it. Hands down best tacos I had by far. I came here last week and was recommended by a good friend. I ordered 6 tacos which were buche, tripas and asada. Buche and Tripas taco: looked fresh, great color, crunch with every bite, no smell and just goodness Asada taco: seasoned perfectly, fresh and best by far. I don't order asada much other than buying from the market and grilling it at home and not even comes close to what I ate here also including the buche and tripas. I'm a huge fan and will be back here to try the same and different items. read more

It's an amazing place. Good customer service. Workers are polite. Amazing. I recommend it here. Only place my parents buy meat from.

They have a lot of Mexican groceries. First time here. If you guys looking for Mexican stuff they have a lot here.

It looks neat so I ordered delicious horchata, hot lengua, and pretty impressive moist crispy carnitas tacos. Looks like a big cafeteria with plenty of fixings and salsa. The parking lot looks plentiful. There is a dairy case right next to the dining tables which is kind of weird. When I used my credit card, they ran out of paper for the printer so I had to wait 10 minutes for one of workers to go to the office to retrieve a roll. read more

Wanted to give them a higher mark, but this place is old looking and dirty..the food was just okay...

the only place i purchase my meat . after having it here for so long i'd rather pay a little extra to have good quality meat than save 1$ for bland meat from food 4 less. they also have great produce . the avocados are perfection !!! ripe and ready to eat read more

Best Place in El Monte to buy meat, tortillas, salsa, pan dulce..etc ! I am usually always skeptical on where I buy muy meats but this place never disappoints. I recommend the carne ranchera ( prepared)and the warm yellow corn tortillas are my favorite. They are so good they are dangerous for me to eat. (I eat like 5). They have everything you need for a grill out. And if you stop by Thursday- Sunday you can try some of their delicious food that are made on the spot. I had the quesadilla with mushrooms and 2 chrorizo mulitas and left home with a happy belly. Check them out if you are around the area or simply want good food. read more

Writing a late review. Came here cuz my dad told me about this place and after tasting their cheese tamales I wanted to go back to take some more to my job. Came in the morning and they already have them made for you and they aren't that expensive either. Good quality and they also sell other things their besides tamales too. Would come back again! read more

Today I order some tacos de asada n carnitas they where the Best the tortillas where homemade

Every Christmas I buy my masa from her and it's always perfect fresh warm a wonderful complement to my red Chile tamales

Been going to this place for over 15yrs. The meat was always great however during the past 3yrs the quality has gone down. I particularly don't like how you order "asada preparada" and to prepare it, they take the meat you've ordered to a back room away from ones view and "prepared" behind closed doors. For the recent quality of the meat, the prices are ridiculous. The owners and workers are rude and treat all their customers as uneducated patrons. My family and neighbors have found a new meat market. STAY AWAY FROM BLAQUITA. read more

This is kind of an all-in-one type place. They make pan dulce, bolillo, cakes. It's also restaurant and they make juices and liquados and if you go next door its a carniceria, a deli, a produce place and tortilleria. They try and capture it all but just like my all-in-one-printer they do some things well and some things not so well. I'll start with the bad. Customer service ranges from rude to icy so I dont go in there expecting much. Just get my change right and gimme a receipt. Parking can also be a pain on busy days. The good is their carnitas. They are the best Ive found in the SG Valley, if you know of any better let me know. The bolillos are excellent and they crank 'em out there every single day hot and fresh. Pan dulce is so so. There are a lot better place for pan dulce although I notice they do make them BIG. Their tamales are also just ok. La Poblana on Amar makes excellent tamales daily. Ive never tried the restaurant food. Never really been tempted because it seems like they dont make food to order. They make a big batch of something and keep it on steam tables until someone orders. I do like their mini tortillas for tacos and in a pinch I'll use their masa for tortillas. But again you have to pick and choose here. Go in get some carnitas, bolillos and some minis. Make your own salsa and you'll be set for the afternoon. read more
