Service was excellent. We got a discount for knowing the owner. Our party ordered different dishes and most of them were pretty good. The lobster was firm and chewy but it lacked the natural sweet taste. I love their salsa. It has a kick to it. Staff was friendly and attentive. read more

I wanted to experience Mexican food in LA and specially in East LA. It was a visit and I remember the movie, Born In East LA, that I watched a long time ago. The restaurant was excellent. Right from the service and the food. There was only one waitress handling the orders and she was pretty competent. Spanish maybe the preferred method of communication here, but the menu has pictures and English descriptions. It is easy to point out and order food and pay. Right off the bat as you choose your seat, you are invited with Chips and two dipping sauces. The sauces had some kick to them. Later for the main entrée, I ordered a fried Red Snapper with Rice and Potato fries. The Red Snapper was a big fish, well fried. I liked the way the wedge fries were done. All in all a good experience. There is parking on the street. The restaurant can double as a sports bar. The prices were surprisingly slightly cheaper than what I come across in DC. read more

I give it 3 stars because the food is good .. but the service SUCKS .. I had to get up and ask for lemons I had tkk on get up and ask for my check .. read more

Great food, service is above normal. Small place, but its our go-to place for a late seafood dinner.

My boss was raving about the fish tacos so we swung by for lunch on weekday around 1pm. We ordered a little bit of everything. Lots of menu options. The food was average, nothing that blew my taste buds but good. We got a shrimp cocktail, carne asada sope, ceviche tostada and a couple of fish tacos. The 4 star rating is strictly for the fish tacos. They were tasty and surprisingly delicious. I would recommend the place especially if you need a car wash and are craving some excellent fish tacos. read more

Owner is an amazing hardworking humble person. Every time we are at any of his restaurants and he's present (which is quite often) He still clears tables, greets, serves and makes everyone feel welcomed ! read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for like 10yrs now. The food is delicious! There chips and salsas are unique super tasty ! I've tried carne asada with camarones, tacos de pescado, camarones al mojo de ajo, camarones costa azul, camarones a la diabla, menudo, red wet burrito chile rellenos & red enchiladas. This is my go to spot for delicious food and at a good price ! I enjoy the fact that I can't ever finish my food since portions are big so I get to eat twice ! Definitely give a try. read more

Many times my girlfriend and I have come here. Good food however, I have never been given horrible service. Waited for over 35 minutes to find out that our food was next to be cooked. This restaurant is linked to the one in EAST LA!! P.s to the Owner!! If you can not keep up with with your demand. Suggest you close down A store before you lose it all. read more

This place is just awful! We walked in and it was filthy, trash and food on the floor it looks like they have not swept or mopped years, It wouldn't surprise me if roaches and rats are running under the tables while you eat. The tables were just as dirty. Really makes me wonder how clean and sanitary the cooking area is. Do not eat it here, the Health inspector really needs to make a trip here. *No Lobster *No oysters *Room temperature beer, served on a mug with ice!! *Wait time for food is over 30 min. *The food tasted like it was cooked on dirty pans, dirty grill, dirty burnt oil. read more

Theee best chicken fajitas anywhere , its served sizzling with grilled sweet onions and chared bell peppers. the molcajete Ranchero is also one of my favorite....carne asada, chicken, chorizo cactus and a peace of cheese all in a molcajete bowl with flavorfull mild salsa ranchera also sizzing as it arrives at your table. The ceviche is good , the shrimp cocktails are ok, ive had better but they do the job. Wife claims that the Micheladas are very tasty! And the best thing i like about this place is the prices, compared to similiar restaurants they have really good specials and prices a very reasonable. Expect service to be slow but fod will make up for it. If strolling musicians are you're thing, take some xtra money, for a couple of bucks they will sing at yore table. read more

Very bad service, the waitress very distracted, she was asked many directions for the food and did not bring my food how I asked. Very bad waters and they charged me regular price for a kids cup. While making my observation to the waitress she only said "sorry, that's how we serve here " read more

First off, restaurant isn't inviting, the whole place seems dirty, the waitress give attitude and they seem uninterested. We waited 20 minutes to order and no one seemed to care about us, they continued to take other people's orders but ours, walked right out. Never again. read more

The food here is amazing! They are always consistent with their food quality and let me tell you, this is my to go spot on a hot day for some ceviche tostadas and shrimp tacos! I tried their carne asada with red enchiladas and that was delicious as well. Also, their chips and salsa are to die for! Can't go wrong with Little Mexico! *Not a fan of their alcoholic beverages. Room temperature Micheladas and Beer* read more

This place is decent. Most of the food is good here however there are a few entree's to avoid. I've tried several of their menu options and would stay away from the shrimp cocktail as it looks good but has no flavor, and the chicken enchiladas as the chicken had lots of ugly pieces in it like the bone and cartilage, gross! The service is like whatev's.. they kind of take forever to ask if you need refills on drinks, we actually had to let them know after all of our cups had been empty for quite some time. The chips n salsa ain't all that either. On a positive note, the fajitas plate, the chicken milanesa plate and asada plate are all pretty good. read more

Mi wife and i stop bi for lunch at this place and we order the shrimp coktail special and a tilapia....the food was great ...the service wayyyyy better...antonia was checking on our table all the time whit a great smile We def we will be back at this place read more

Ok so when they say Little Mexico they mean: "This place is pretty much Mexico". What do I mean by this? Well, a couple of men came by our table with flowers & knick knacks for sale, a Mariachi quartet sang to the table next to us (for a small tip), and the food is DELICIOUS. After a very stressful pedicure session (psych, I was relaxed AF) we were in need of beer and burritos STAT. Luckily this place is open pretty late. I ordered a Corona (served from the bottle, nice) and a shrimp burrito that took me by surprise. At a divey place like this I was not expecting a baja style burrito but rather beans, rice, cheese, and some grilled shrimp, right? So tell me why this burrito is filled to the brim with lightly fried shrimp, avocado, a spicy cream sauce, rice, and some cabbage? Delicious. They served it with a side salad which was weird in my opinion but whatever. My honorary Tia Dina picked up the tab so I can't make a comment on the bill other than thank you Dina! I expect to come here now when I return to East LA for a day of pampering and girl talk. read more

This place has gone down so much, nothing seems fresh, salsa is so watery. I did ask why was it so watery since I had been there a few times before I actually said something, waitress said "the owner made changes and this is the way it's going to be" I said okey. I asked for a plate of pozole since the last time I was there I ordered it as I was waiting 30 Min later the waitress comes back and tells me "sorry we ran out" I was polite of course upset but just ordered something else, so for this occasion I made sure I asked before anything the waitress seemed bothered and went to ask and bluntly said "yes but it was done yesterday" at this point her Attitude was a bit to much for me to handle as if I don't have tons of other choices in LA. Lol she still had the nerve to say "I don't know why every time i work everyone's seems to complaint and I only work one day" this was on Wednesday her name is Griselda (with the squeaky voice). No more little Mexico for me. read more

Before the pandemic my family and I loved this restaurant. During the pandemic we'd order take out but the orders were always missing something. We understood. Last week we went back for a sit down lunch, the chips were stale, the waitress had attitude and there was a piece of cardboard in the food. Never going back. read more

This place is over priced , we ordered the carne Asada burritos hardly any meat , more rice and beans than anything , the one on Maple is better , the food Tastes better , salsa bar available, and the prices are great ! The servings are made with love! read more

This place has really gone down throughout the years,, this is based on my route most recent visit,, ordered a shrimp cocktail and it tasted like if it was put together two minutes before I ordered it ,,very bland no taste ,,We also ordered some fish tacos that was worse the fish was under cooked with heavy grease on it it had a mush texture to it , The veggies tasted like they've been sitting for a while,, the last thing we ordered was a chicken salad the salad had lots of water in the bottom of the plate and the chicken some of it was overcooked and some of it was undercooked don't know how that happened very basic plain salad nothing special about it,, the waitresses are not very attentive they don't check up on you and not very friendly,, parking is horrible there it's inside of a little strip mall I think that will be the last time we go there again we're done with this place read more

Great food horrible service. The waitress was talking about her picking up her son in other words she wanted us the fuck out. The food is amazing this is the only reason I come read more

I'm going to make this short and simple. My reason they're getting 5 stars is because of one word. "Michelada". Just go try it. And their food is delicious!! read more

Thank you yelp for finding this place for me. Excellent food. Wouldn't have found it on my own. Great carne asana burrito. Could only eat half. We will be back with our friends. read more

Randomly went to this restaurant while searching Whittier blvd. for a mariscos joint--fish tacos. The place was pretty busy for lunch and the waitress were running about trying to maintain and keep up. I ordered a lunch special for $5.50, the fish taco plate and aqua fresca de melon. I have to say, it was a pleasant surprise for the price. It took longer to serve but when I got my plate it was hot and fresh. I definitely would recommend the place if you don't mind a little wait during the busy lunch time. read more

Food is delicious, customer service not so good. Had to wait about 15min for tortillas and the place wasn't even full! read more

BAD SERVICE all the way around !!! . I don't rate at all but this place did it for me, 1 star is doing them a favor., this place is a disgrace for Mexican food/service. Food = BAD Service = BAD Cleanness = BAD read more

Little Mexico me gusta mucho. Came here on the recommendation of a co-worker. I've had their machaca burrito and the grilled fish plate and enjoyed both meals. Beans & rice are tasty as well as their chips and salsa. Service is good. They have lunch specials which are a pretty good deal. Highly recommend. read more

I walk in and see old Mexican men in cowboy hats. Oh how I love living in Montebello. A nice Little Mexican family restaurant. The menu was confusing to understand and adorned with too many pictures so I just ordered what my friend did: i think it was a carne asada burrito which was supposed to come with guacamole and sour cream inside but of course it didn't. The waitresses communicate in Spanish even when you speak in English, but that's ok. The place is mediocre, but the seafood looks good. Best part of the meal was the company and the lollipop!! (we missed the mariachi by 10 minutes) read more

The best Mexican food restaurant in Montebello in my opinion. I grew up in Montebello, but hadn't eaten here until about a year ago, we have visited several times, each time trying something new and each time the food was flavorful, well portioned and well priced. Haven't had a bad meal yet! read more

Honestly when I walked into this place I thought I was mistaken. But I was so pleasantly surprised because the food here was absolutely DELICIOUS! Their chile verde burrito was amazing as was their chips & salsa! YUM! My mom really enjoyed their menudo as well. I will definitely come back here again. By far one of the best chile verde burritos I've ever had!! If you're around Montebello & in the mood for some authentic & delicious Mexican food, give Little Mexico a try. read more

This place is awful and disgusting. It's hot in there and they need an AC. If I could give it zero stars I would. I ordered an Aguachile botana that was $18.99 more than any other plate we ordered and the shrimp had poop and the shell still on them and when I told the waitress to comp them since we didn't eat it and I told her what was wrong with them she said "they always service them like that" and that she couldn't give me any type of discount and we ordered a shrimp cocktail that the shrimp also had poop in them. Don't the cooks know that's not a vein its poop. I most definitely will not be coming back to this place. It was $78.52 for 4 people very disappointed and total waste of money. read more

Little Mexico - Not worth the money dirty shrimp and with shells and the services know it and they still service it. Never coming back. - Mexican Near Me - Montebello, California

The food was fine as always. The server, Laura, was the worst waitress I have ever encountered and I eat out quite a bit. I stopped coming to this restaurant a couple of years ago due to poor service but the food is good so after a couple of years I thought I'd give it another try. Up until today the servers have been great. This woman was so unprofessional and incompetent. I had to hunt her down for the water I asked her for 4 times. Not once during or dining experience did she come by to see if we needed anything. I worked for tips at one point in my life, therefore, I tip well. Not this time! This woman was not worth a cent and she is a disgrace to her profession. She should be ashamed of herself La mujer, Laura, era un terible mecera. read more

Only giving it 3 stars for the food, because it's really delicious. I've only had the Bistek Encebollado and it is so amazing, their beans are also some of the best I've ever had. Their chips are also very good and warm which is always a plus, and their salsa also has taste and isn't just spicy. Haven't really tried anything else, but I'm sure everything else tastes just as great. Only thing I really really dislike about this is the service. Everytime I've eaten here, the service is always horrible. The waitresses don't really come to the table as often as they should to ask if you need anything, and I m rather confused on whether or not they pick up your check of ir you have to take it to the register... which I found to be extremely strange. The waitresses aren't all that polite, and don't really seem to care much about the customers. The only thing that keeps me coming back is the food, otherwise I'd never go back there again. read more

I highly recommend Carne asada fries..They're great. The meat is seasoned differently, the cheese is real, and the cream adds to it. I haven't tried anything else in the menu because I love them and always crave them. This review is actually for the location on Maple and Whittier. For some reason this location doesn't carry the asada fries last time i checked. read more

One of my buddies recommended this place so we came to eat here and it was worth it. The waitresses were friendly and the service was great. I ordered the shrimp burrito with red sauce. The food came out fast, hot and oh boy was it a big burrito. They weren't cheap with the shrimp or the avocado. I will be coming back here again to try different things. read more

I went in today abd purchases 2 tostadas. Shrimp ceviche. I get home to find out .i had a half full cup with ONLY 6 shrimp in it. Wtf! 8 bucks for 6 shrimp and a cup of cucumber. Taco Baja is much much better and they hook you. Taco baja is worth the money...this place not so much. And the girl was so rude when i was trying to ask about other locations. read more
