La Paz has the absolute best staff, food, and prices around! I love this place and highly recommend it!

This is your local neighborhood Mexican restaurant. I think they do more take out than dine in. That said, they do have quite a few tables and booths too. There is nothing fancy about this place but the food is good and the prices are reasonable. This restaurant has been around for a long time and is a family run operation. You always get personalized service here and they know you when you come in. I personally love the carne asada burrito and I order that most of the time when I come here. Give it a try, your wallet and your stomach will both thank you!!! read more

Hole-in-the-wall restaurant with bomb food! Get here early to beat the lunch crowd, but it seems like a lot of people know about this place. Especially on Tuesdays. PARKING: There is plenty of parking in this lot. No worries there. FOOD: TACO TUESDAYS! Who can beat $0.99 tacos? You can pick your choice of meat for the tacos - they are street tacos. Of course, they also have their regular menu too which you can't go wrong with. Oh, and free chips and salsa for the table. Portions are pretty large here! I ordered 5 tacos on Taco Tuesday and was stuffed. It was more than enough! SEATING: Indoor seating only and they have lots of tables. Get here early if you have a big group as it can get pretty packed during lunch hour. read more

PLEASE READ!!!!! This review is about BAD food!!!!! Actually it has the worst food I have ever had!!!!! All these positive reviews and 4 star ratings who are you?????? They falsely create a good impression of Mexican restaurant and they got us into the door of this place. There is absolutely no way someone would give this place more that one star!!! Do yourself a favor and go to Taco Bell (sarcasm, I am not a fan of Taco Bell) but it tastes better than food at this place and you will spend half of what you pay here. You can't call it Mexican cuisine! Food has NO FLAVOR , NO SPICES OF ANY KIND at all. Check out the picture of shredded beef enchilada, it has onions and bell peppers in it, almost no beef. In fact it tasted sweet, horrible flavor you would never expect in enchilada. The check was nearly $60 for two adults and two kids (price you would expect at a decent Mexican restaurant) and we left 80% of our food. It was so BAD!!! We had tacos, enchiladas, Chile rellenos, rice, beans, carne assada and tacos with carne assada. EVERYTHING WAS TASTELESS!!!! Rice was dry and old, beans had a lot of salt in it, very little amount of meat in enchiladas and tacos, Chile rellenos from a can and canned tasteless salsa the worst one ever ( even when I buy one from Walmart it tastes better), a lot of lettuce I can give them a credit for that, horchata and Jamaica are not home made !!! I can't imagine how can this be called a restaurant, the gas station and frozen food tastes better. Just can't express how disappointed we were with the food. We did pay the entire bill out of respect to staff who has no fault in any of these. But honestly I wish I never went to this place, but thanks to the 4 starts in Yelp I did read more

I've ate at 90% of Mexico restaurants in the greater Los Angeles area in this by far was one of the worst. The saltiest rice and beans and salsa I've ever had. Even the chips and tortillas were salty. ***Do not waste your money here!!!*** Workers are nice tho. So that's cool. Thanks guys. read more

I love love the tacos! The family owned restaurant are so friendly. I go here monthly! Or even order it on Uber

I almost listened to the couple negative reviews on here, and what are underwhelming photos of the food....and I'm so glad I didn't. I got a wet carne asada burrito with triple meat for $20 and recieved what was essentially two delicious, protein-packed meals. They literally put so much meat on/in it, that they resorted to piling heaps of carne asada alongside the burrito as well. Came with a bag of fresh chips and super nice people at the front counter. I've been to all the Mexican spots nearby on Main St., and this is now my favorite. read more

La Paz Restaurant - Wet Carne asada burrito w. Triple meat - Mexican Near Me - El Segundo, California

I run by this plaza all the time but never knew there was a Mexican restaurant here! It's in a plaza in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Walking into the restaurant, it looks diner-style with booths and a gum ball machine. There are also a lot of pick-up orders so you can call beforehand if you know what you want. I came here to make a to-go order and ordered the Jr Super Deluxe Burrito. It also comes with chips and salsa. I was told it would be about 15 minutes and it was about the time it took for my order to come out. The burrito was not as hot when I got home but that's not their fault in any way. I enjoyed it though and may have found my new Mexican joint. read more

I wish I listened to the other reviews. First time here and I ordered the #3: 2 enchiladas and 1 taco. The food had absolutely no flavor. Even the enchilada sauce was bland and disgusting. Beans and rice extremely salty. One of the worst Mexican restaurants I've visited in California. Never wasting my money again. read more

I love everything about this restaurant. Everything. Their chili renello's are amazing. Excellent food, varied menu, great prices, large portions. Come for breakfast. And lunch. And dinner. You'll be glad you did. Service is prompt and friendly. read more

Prices keep going up and the amount of food given doesn't feel worth it anymore unfortunately. Now taking away unlimited chips and salsa has brought down the experience. Service has always been excellent and the food consistently tastes good but now is feeling too high in price for the quantity and quality given. read more

This is good Mexican restaurant. Food has always been great, so was service and price is pretty reasonable.

Great Mexican food in El Segundo. The staff and the owners are very friendly! I definitely recommend this restaurant!

Food is Avg. , very bland , menudo was not what I expected , not much flavor .. , machaca burrito had mostly beans little rice and little meat , just another avg. me Mexican food .. not impressed !! read more

In a small strip mall. No large signage so it's easy to overlook if you're passing by. Looks like a place the locals patronize. Post yoga group lunch. Since I'm striving to be gluten free and low(er) carb for 30 days, I skipped the beans and rice. I ordered a beef and chicken taco with soft corn tortillas. Decent. Service was good. Casual atmosphere. Plenty of parking. read more

The food and staff are excellent every time I visit. And they're always attentive to my needs.

We had a delicious Mexican breakfast here this morning. Chilaquiles with rice and beans were a perfect start to the day. Friendly service and nice family atmosphere. Check it out - you will be glad you did :) read more

I love going to family owned legacy restaurants. It is a great value and service was terrific. The food was average as there are much better places in LA. However, you can't beat La Paz if you live in the area and enjoy a good value. read more

Let me put you on to the mark pitcher. One and a half margaritas is enough to get you rocked. You could split the marg pitcher between like 5-6 people and have the time of your life. read more

Oh yehhhhhhh...best on the block. Family owned and operated for years. Service is spectacular....they are on it. Recipes are awesome. The Camarones a la Diabla is special. I can't stop getting their Carnitas....in every form....Carnitas Gaudalajara, Tacos, Enchiladas, etc.... Chili Relleno and Tamales (I've had Pork and Cheese) also really tasty. The Flan is great! This is an old school place and the flavors don't betray that. Homemade Salsa is always on point and they just never disappoint. read more

My husband and I just tried this restaurant this week. I had the #1 which is a ground beef enchilada and a ground beef taco and my husband had their carne asada burrito. The carne Asada had such good flavor and the ground beef was delicious! The staff was very nice and it has a big parking lot which is nice to find easy parking. We will be back! read more

Went here for date night; they have tables outside that are distanced from one another and a huge parking lot. My husband had the enchiladas and I had the two tacos plate. Everything was so delicious and all for a decent price. Customer service was excellent! And I think we had about three servings of chips and salsas while there because it was so good. Neither of us left anything on our plates. This will definitely become a regular spot for us! read more

More like 3.5 stars. When I'm in the mood for Mexican food for lunch I'm always torn between this place and El Tarasco. I decided on this place just cause it seemed like it's been forever since the last time I was here. I ordered the enchilada (chicken) and taco (asada) platter with rice and beans. They also served complimentary chips and salsa, good but I prefer the ones at El Tarasco. The food was tasty and came out all nice and toasty. Service was also good, never putting pressure on ordering and rushing me out to leave. The total for my meal was just $6. I had to knock off .5 star because there is a minimum of $10 to use a credit card. read more

I love me some authentic Mexican food! This place is a hole in the wall kind of place as there's so much good food on the menu (prices are very reasonable) and you will enjoy the taste and quality of the food as well as the friendly service. We got the carne asada fries as well as the carnitas tostada. The carne asada fries were definitely filling. The tostada was really yummy and I really liked the high pile of lettuce, which helped balance the fries so you won't feel guilty eating both! The carnitas were delicious. Also, there's free chips and salsa! Unlimited too! That's a huge plus! Food is great, service is excellent. Plenty of parking, credit cards accepted! read more

Big portions but really lacking in flavor and sustenance. I ordered the Super Deluxe Burrito this past weekend and all it had was ground beef, rice and beans on the inside.There was a scoop of guac on top but it was pretty unproportional compared to the whole burrito. Surprisingly alot of the menu items contain ground beef and for the prices maybe I expected something else.. dont know.. haha the red sauce on the outside made up for the taste but far from anything special. Save your time and money and go to El Taurasco near by. read more

The service was bad. I had barely received my food when the server brought out the bill. I was planning on getting dessert but they didn't even ask if I wanted to order anything else before giving the check. Therefore i just left. I did not feel welcomed. This is not Mexican food. This is white washed Mexican food read more

It's late Easter Sunday afternoon and as a ride-share driver I pick up a passenger at his hotel near LAX to take him to get something to eat. Everything is closed, except this gem of a restaurant. First, when I called to see if they were open, they were so cheery and welcoming. I drove my passenger there (by now I had turned off my app in order to help him find food) and the staff was all smiles (honest ones) -- and rather than dump off my passenger, I stayed and ate with him, so I could help him understand Mexican food. All he knew was tacos. He ordered a carne asada taco and carnitas, and we shared the chicken fajitas. I also ordered a cheese enchilada. The food was remarkably inexpensive (check out iHop lately!) and delicious to boot. There are a million Mexican restaurants in LA, but here I was impressed. The waitress was the daughter of the owner, and dead honest about what to order. But for the fact she didn't know the size of the shrimp in the enchilada, she did know the pepper in the chile rellleno was canned. Though there is not much to fajitas, a bit of sautéed peppers and onions with chicken, these were good. Not over seasoned and perfectly seasoned. My ride-share companion mowed through his food, happy he hadn't ordered just tacos. Store bought tortillas aside, this place is a nice respite, with lovely red Naugahyde booths--and thank goodness not just another chain restaurant. It's 4 minutes from LAX so a sweet place to stop. Oh, and I always have to order rice and beans with my food, it's always a sign of how authentic the food is and Rosarita beans these were not. Chips were stale and needed salt, and the horchata was just fine--but I still give it 5 stars because it's the best Mexican food I've had in a while. I live in Irvine so it's a long way to travel, but next time I take a passenger up to LA, I will be there. Please stop here--! It's family-owned and oh-so-good. Why the 4 stars? Not very attentive service, but damn good salsa. Just wish they weren't stale. read more

We were in town and looking for a local Mexican restaurant to enjoy some food and drinks. We found La Paz on Yelp and gave it a try. We were greeted by a friendly server with a generous serving of chips and delicious salsa. We also ordered the guacamole which wasn't as thick or tasty as we like - it was just okay. My daughter had chicken tacos which were sort of bland but were on homemade tortillas. I had shrimp fajitas. They had a generous amount of good size shrimp, pepper and onions. They also came with a homemade large tortilla. Both meals came with rice and refried beans which were tasty! I would definitely recommend the shrimp fajitas. No margaritas that I saw on the menu so I settled for a Dos Equis Amber. read more

La Paz Restaurant - Shrimp Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - El Segundo, California

Hidden Gem. Tucked away in a little plaza off on a side street this is an alternative to some of the main street eateries. The food is good, the portions are hearty and the staff is super friendly. Typical Mexican dishes in a family atmosphere run by the family who really cares about their customer. Good value for your dollar and the portions are good sized. Service was fast and friendly, everything had good flavor and was cooked fresh. 3.5 for the food 3 for prices and portion 4 for the service and friendliness of the staff Rounded up to 4 stars Recommended read more

We wanted to try this place for our first time and we were highly disappointed. The service was horrible. We only ordered carne asada tacos. And they forgot our order and two families arrived after us and their food came before ours and they had tostadas and burritos. The waitress also went to all the other tables to give them napkins and forks and we had to ask her for the same service on top Of asking for more chips and salsa. read more

I dunno if it's Corona or their Carne Asada but regardless I've ordered this place 3 times in 3 weeks . My waistline is def nothing thanking me, but my taste buds are. #coronagains Side note: I've also ordered 2 burritos every time. One for now, one for later ... bc they are that good. read more
