Who knew that a tiny place in Montebello would have such a great Mexican restaurant?? Yelpers came thru big on this one. I have been craving green salsa chicken enchiladas for a while, and almost every place where I have gotten them has been a disappointment. Finally, I found a place that comes thru, and the name is La Enchilada! This was a wonderful plate of green salsa chicken enchiladas for about $11, and I so happy with the flavor and the temperature of the food. The only knock on this place is that they don't give you a number to take to your table. So when they said, "green salsa chicken enchiladas" I said, "that's me" because that's what I ordered and I had the receipt to prove it. In actuality, I took someone else's order, completely by accident. Luckily, I didn't take 1 bite off my plate and the original customer trusted me and ate it. The cashier then brought me the plate that I had ordered, about 5 mins later. However, I feel like this entire situation was avoidable if they handed out a number to bring to your table. 4 stars! read more

So far I only had Chile Verde plate which is beef meat BOMB very tendered, lean with no fat the only thing is that it's spicy for me, I wish it was a little more mild, it comes in a plate with beans & rice you can substitute to French fries. I also had the chicken taquitos BOMB with guacamole on top, the fried tortilla on the taquitos is very gentle, kind of flaky when you bite it which is good cause I hate those hard taquitos with thick tortillas.. oh! & it has a lot of chicken in the middle and fresh! Jamica drink is good. This review is based on 2 items that I ate here. I've never tried anything else besides the 2 dishes mentioned on my review. IMG_37 read more

The food never dissappoints. The only issue I have is chips (3 or 4) are served with certain plates, and red or green salsa, only if you ask, is served in a small takeout container with lid. Not all dishes come with chips. Thankfully a bottle of Tapatio sits at the table. read more

My wife and I visited La Enchilada Sunday, around 6:30pm. We ordered 1 dine-in Pozole, 1 take-out Pozole, and 1 dine-in veggie wet burrito. We got seats and waited for our order. I noted the time on the receipt said 6:41. We got our food around 7:15--close to a 35-minute wait. To be fair, the place was busy (many take-out orders being filled), and we probably hit the dinner rush. The food itself was very tasty; the red Pozole had boneless pork, and was very richly-flavored. My wife likes a bone or two, but she didn't miss them. The toppings were fresh, and tortillas were served on the side. (My wife thought that a little odd, as she is used to Pozole served w/o tortillas.) I enjoyed the Veggie burrito, with salsa roja, but could only finish half--very large! I took the rest for next day's lunch. La Enchilada is a simple, clean restaurant, with fresh, tasty food. Prices are very reasonable. Try to avoid the busy times, but you won't be disappointed with the food quality or quantity served there. I took off 1 star for the wait, but it still could've been 5 stars. read more

I ordered two fish tacos and one Carnitas entrees. The cashier was friendly. It took 15 minutes for my order. At home I ate the fish tacos, beans and rice for lunch. I must say the food was disappointing. Fish tacos tasted like Swai fish breaded. I think Del Taco has better tacos. The carnitas was so dry and lean it was hard to eat. I think food was better before but I ate shrimp at that time. read more

I passed by this place many times and finally went in on a Sunday morning for some breakfast burritos for me and the family. Always looking for a place that makes quality, large breakfast burritos and I think I've found it. Mine was massive and very tasty. Both the red and green salsa were very good and even though there was a bit of a crowd service was fast and friendly. Plus they serve breakfast ALL DAY which is always a huge plus. I will definately be going back when I'm craving Mexican food. read more

I was over at Best Buy spending an excessive amount of time getting my computer into the shop for repair when I grew increasingly hungry. I started looking for Chili Relleno ; my all-time favorites that I hadn't had in months. I yelped local places and showed it to the Best Buy agent who happen to be Mexican and said I've never eaten there, that should've been my first red flag. This Best Buy in Montebello is employed by a large number of Latin people and the three I met at the counter couldn't tell me anything about this place. Nonetheless, being super hungry, I decided what the heck I'm gonna go on over there give it a go right what's the worst that could happen?. Upon entering, I quickly noticed that it was a counter service. Will bring your food out to you establishment., no big deal. I'm done with as long as the grub is good.. They were having taco Tuesday and they have cabeza $ Al Pastor Taco option- another two of my favorite. So I ordered the chile Rellano plate with an extra Chile Rellano as well as 2 Cabeza tacos & 1-Al pastor taco , which the plate came with Al pastor Taco. When the food arrived, Tye Chile Rellano looked, and I say respectfully, looked like it was heated in a microwave. It was very clear. The edges were melted into the plate. The chilie Rellano was flat lack that bold flavor that you would think would come from the sauce. The cheese and the chilie Rellano was just stiff. I moved onto the tacos, which I found the tacos to be good, not great good. For me, the overall flavor of what they presented to me lacked that bold authentic Mexican flavor. The white boy that's been in LA for about 25 years and I've been around the taco bar a few times so I know what I'm talking about. I was really disappointed that the individual who brought out the food to myself and other customer sitting there when she walks by my table -she doesn't even say how is everything -which tells me you don't care how I think the food is -the sale is complete. I honestly could not finish this meal. It was $49 and change and I literally walked out.. No, I did not go up to the counter and give them the opportunity to refund and or make it again because having owned my own restaurant and worked in the food industry in my life, this establishment had closing hours at 9 PM. It was 8:30 PM. They were just doing what they had to do to get out of there.. They even told me don't sit on one section of the dining room because they were turning tables up. They were closing and getting the food out as fast as I can so the customers can eat and get out of there and they can go home. I understand I've been there.. But if you want to keep your jobs and the owner wants to keep those doors open, you gotta take that extra step and the extra step was not there so I just got up and left. I thought it doesn't make any sense for me to even come up to that counter because I really got the vibe that they did not care.. read more

I love the food and service is quite friendly I only had shrimp enchiladas but I miss am going for chile relleno

This place cheats you l! Be aware to ask for your reciept. You call in for the order and still have to wait for it. Serve is horrible! The men cooking in back and ladies waiting on table and taking orders. Wow!!!! read more

This used to be my go to place for the tostada salad or carne asada burrito. I'd order at least once a week. It became harder to phone in an order and when they finally answered the female worker was super rude. read more

Just okay. Was honestly not that impressed. For food it tasted seasoned which is good but it wasn't great. Just a little better. The portion sizes were pretty small in my opinion. I ate the whole plate and was still hungry. The prices were good/decent for a fast sit down type of restaurant style so that's why I'm giving an extra start and an extra star for seasoned food. I just wanted to be wowed by going to Los Angeles for famous Mexican food but was not impressed and wanted much more! read more

La Enchilada is located in a large plaza with plenty of parking space available. I went with a party of 9 and we were able to comfortably dine together. Keep in mind that this restaurant does close at 8 PM. Our group came around 7:20 PM and there wasn't a lot of people at that time. The staff brought out of orders pretty timely and was friendly. I ordered a green enchilada with asada. It had a slight spice to it. There was tapatio available on the table for me to add and kick up the heat! Despite that, I thought my order was okay. Note: They accept American Express read more

The carne asada torta is my go to mostly every time! The flavors are so well balanced! Fresh and crispy lettuce, perfect tomato, bread is soft, guacamole creamy, thick cheese, tasty beans, and the carne asada is lean and well seasoned! I add the jalapeños to it, and drizzle the red salsa on every bite! We've had their cheese enchilada plate, carne asada burrito, and shrimp fajitas. Portions are good, rice is also delicious. Gave them 4 stars because they start cleaning 30 minutes before closing with a STRONG cleaning spray that overpowers the taste of the food. We were already eating at the table when this happened. Also, 30 minutes before closing you have to order to go, which is probably a good idea since you're eating experience will be ruined with that chemical smell! read more

Situated inside the Montebello Plaza, La Enchilada is located in a quiet corner. There is plenty of parking. As you walk in, you can either order to go or eat in. I decided to grab to go. The menu board has a variety to select from. I ordered the Machaca and egg burrito and chili verde plate. Service was fast and efficient. 4.5/5 Machaca was juicy and very flavorful 3.5/5 Chili Verde was outstanding. The beef was tender and marinated perfectly. I placed the beans, rice, and beef in a flour tortilla and made a burrito. It was scrumptious. 5/5 I definitely will go back and try something else. This was a great find. read more

Went to this restaurant for cheese enchilada for lent. Ordered 2 number 1 (cheese enchilada) and received 2 number 1. The problem is my husband plate was smoking nice and hot. The cheese on the top and inside was cold. Nothing was melted. The beans and the rice warm. We will not go back to a place that the name is El Enchilada, and they can't serve a cheese enchilada. The easiest food to prepare. read more

This picture says it all! Both our plates looked like this when we were done. They had so much foot traffic for dine-in and carry out. Very friendly staff! Definitely a must try when you're in the area!! We'll be back!! read more

La Enchilada Mexican Food - Delicious!! - Mexican Near Me - Montebello, California

You call they don't answer and when they do answer they pick up phone and hang it up. So wow when you try to call in your order.

The food is delicious! Chili verde is my favorite, my husband's is the Cocido soup. From enchiladas, tortas to breakfast such as traditional Mexican huevos rancheros to home made pancakes with melted butter, cooked to order! With generous portions, reasonable prices & friendly staff, this place is a must try! Definitely one of our favorite spots. read more

The place was clean and smelled good. It was a little loud so you couldn't hear any of the TVs. They could have added captions so you could at least read what you were watching. Although the cashier girls smiled our service was slow and very nonchalant. We placed our order and everyone who ordered before and after us received their food first. Once we received our food, it came one plate at a time. And not only did it take long, it arrived extra cold and extra greasy. I felt like the food might have been given to us cold on purpose due to us returning the horchata. Some parties had 3-4 guest which included more plates of food yet they still received the food before us. We were literally the last guests to be served. (6 different parties arrived and ordered food after us and they received their food before us) We ordered the Tuesday $1.99 soft taco special. We ordered the tacos with carnitas, al pastor and carne asada. All had no flavor except for some chile and again all cold. We requested no chile and they placed a roasted chile cut in half right on top of the tacos, decorations maybe but we still requested no chile on the plate. We also ordered a quesadilla with carnitas and again cold and greasy and they must have ran out of cheese because it didn't have much cheese, at least not to qualify as a quesadilla. We ordered horchatas and it was literally only rice water. No flavor at all so we had to return it and get a soda but not after getting mad dogged by the cashiers. We will definitely not be returning. read more

Chile relleno plate is delicious! Chile relleno is cheese-y, very delicious. Taquito plate is average, guacamole on salad is very tasty. Lots of tables one can sit and enjoy their food. Cashier was friendly. Definitely coming back to try other foods. read more

La Enchilada Mexican Food - All meat burrito, in red sauce. - Mexican Near Me - Montebello, California

Ordered the taquitos plate #12. Service was fast. Excited to be back bec i had a good experiencethe first time. Got to go, as the dining room looked like it was shutting down. Styrofoam container. Got it home in five minutes. Taquitos were nicely dressed with mex cheese and sour cream. But they weren't crunchy, kinda soggy, could have used a few more minutes in the deep fryer. You get 4 taquitos, and i was so pleased it possible to get 2 chicken 2 beef, yay. The taquitos look like the store bought frozen kind...I was hoping for homemade ones...and for crunchy-ier! Both the frijoles and the rice were lukewarm, and both a bit stiff, so needed to shovel it onto a plate and give it a few seconds in the microwave. Also my flour tortillas I asked for..alas were missing. But loved the guacamole, it was cold, yay. Plenty of free parking. Maybe it was close to closing time on a Sunday...a lot of the chairs in the dining room were already upended onto tables, so I decided on food to go. read more

first steps in i noticed a nice and a spacious dining area, the menu wasn't too overbearing so i ended up getting the number 1 plate to try it out. service was of standard nothing too much to mention, but the food was the real deal, very yummy and on point. the enchiladas was soft enough where i can cut it with the two chips accompanied with the plate, tomato sauce was a bit plain but no complaints really. the meal was quite filling and of perfect proportions, i do have to say the food looks exactly like the menu which is very impressive given how menu pictures can be quite misleading at other restaurants. my friend got the asada fries and they also looked exactly like the menu. safe to say ill be coming back here. read more

La Enchilada Mexican Food - #1 two enchilada plate - Mexican Near Me - Montebello, California

We tried to call in our order but they didn't answer the phone, this has happened to us before. We wanted to call since they take a long long time to prepare the orders. We ordered in person and waited 25 minutes for the food. So, when we got there there was another gentleman that you could tell was a bit upset, he finally got his food and while walking out he told us in line his order took about an hour. The girls there don't smile they just take your order. The food is good, not the best and not the worst but basically good at a fair price. Not just for this place but just wondering... so the beans are already made and in a pot, as is the chile verde, asada, pollo, rice , etc.... dont you just gotta scoop it onto a plate or into a tortilla? why does it take soo long for mexican food. I can understand the french fries or fish or shrimp, you cook that upon order but why everything else so long ? LOL. My 3 stars is based on the waiting time. read more

Been here a couple of times now and the food is always solid! It's fairly priced and we always get so full after. The staff members are always super friendly. I personally love their chilaquiles and their rice is delicious! read more

I ordered the enchiladas. The sauce is decent, the amount of meat inside is decent, but the cheese on top is so nice and stringy! Also, the refried beans are some of the best I've had. They have a little flavor as opposed to being bland. read more

Good food but why are the workers complaining that they have to clean the tables at a restaurant. And talking bad about the guest in front of customers. Super unprofessional. read more

This place was recommended by neighbor. Good food! Best to place phone order and pick up lunch/dinner.

Note: credit card charges have 3% fee Ordered a Nacho Supreme with Carne Asada for pickup for my boo. Called ahead and it was ready within 15 minutes. Took a few bites to test for poison hehe. It was bomb!!! They didn't skimp on guac like other places, and every bite was flavorful. It did feel like it wasn't a huge portion but they also included a small bag of tortilla chips to refill. My partner scarfed it up real quick and confirmed it was delicious! Can't wait to try again! Will update when we do. read more

On Friday, March 14, 2025 11:01 I spent $56.21 worth of food. The place was empty. I expected to receive the order fast. But, I believe that the unfriendly cashier purposely gave me COLD food. I used to visit La Enchilada at least 2 times every month. I will no longer support this establishment due to the cashiers biases. Sorry, Lulu read more

This place is actually pretty good somewhat authentic Mexican food and super conveniently located close to my home. Never crowded when I've eaten at the restaurant and pick up is always fast. I was mad at them for a little while because they were rude when I called about a messed up order but we ended giving in and glad we did! Try it if you're in Montebello and call ahead to order for pick up or eat in at their spacious restaurant! read more
