I've always loved Teresa's! Today was no different when I ordered their pambazo. Basically it's a sandwich soaked in chile de arbol(?) with a generous helping of papa, chorizo, Mexican cheese, and lettuce ... there may have also been beans in there, too. Teresa's never disappoints - service is fast, flavors are consistent, and it's clear that attention is given to detail in the preparation of all their dishes! read more

So I was going through your trying to find somewhere really good to eat and I seen this Mexican restaurant.. with high ratings. I'm like I gotta try this and it was right down the street from my job. Wow so happy that I picked this location. Great customer service my waitress was awesome. I didn't get her name, but she was great always smiling. Came to my table 5-6 times to ask if everything was great. my Mando was super fresh even on a weekday very clean establishment. I only tried the Menudo can't wait to try their wet burrito and they also have seafood so I'll be going there really soon to try everything out once again thank you so much for the great customer service and amazing food! read more

I got the simple chilaquiles plate but with both green/red sauce. It was okay. Nothing to write home about. Seemed to be missing a spice/flavor. I asked for no rice double beans and I got rice. They only serve cafe de olla (no black coffee). Many takeout orders were being picked up during my visit. I gave it three stars because I can see why people would like it...it's just not for me. read more

Came again recently after not having been here for a few years and it must have changed a lot or maybe new cooks or a bad day The rice on our dises was dry, stale and lacking flavor. The beans were not great either, they weren't fresh or maybe even canned. My chorizo con papas plate had a little more onion than I anticipated I wished it would have been cooked a little longer as they were a little raw. Everything else was good including service. We did try queso fundido with chorizo and that was good. Chilaquiles verdes were good. I'll come back again to update read more

My wife and I had some car work done, close by and we needed to get something to eat. We saw Teresa's on Yelp, so we walked over. This is a quaint little spot in a little strip mall. We had shrimp enchiladas and a huge Fish burrito with fresh pepino limonadas. Amazing! From the rice to the beans, the fresh chips, great salsas, everything authentic and made to order. We were treated better than at even the fanciest restaurants we've been to. The chef came out to have a chat with the patrons, and shared a little about how he keeps everything tasting so authentic and delicious. Great food, great service, even an awesome playlist serenading us. We will absolutely be back again, even if we have to go out of our way to eat here. read more

The cubana torta is tasty. But the bottom bread is so soggy because everything is juicy and they give lots of guacamole. The milanesa breading gets soggy too. The pulled pork is juicy. The beef burrito is good too. Equal portion of meats and beans n rice. So it's not too dry with just meats. Beans and rice is soft and flavorful. Watermelon aqua fresca is good. Very refreshing and very big cup. Sadly they didn't give us straws! We asked and they said it's in the bag...but it wasn't. Expect 10 minutes if you call to pickup. Pretty pricey tho; 3 meal + 2 drink is $45. Everything is flavorful, but hours after the meal feels so thirsty. read more

The food is super delicious, tastes homemade. The service is always friendly and quick! They always give me a 10 minute estimated pick up time and the food is ALWAYS ready on time! The prices are reasonable given the quantity and quality of food. They may not be in the best location, I had driven past the restaurant plenty of times without spotting them, but even with that challenge this place always has customers dining in and picking up orders. My favorites are the red chulada chilaquiles, red pozole and my husband loves their red pozole as well as the menudo con pata, and wet asada burrito. If they bottled that red sauce they use on the chilaquiles I would buy it. I scrape up every bit of that sauce from my plate. The flautas are pretty good as well. Now for the the reasons I didn't give 5 stars. They've messed up my order a handful of times, sometimes I returned to correct it or if I'm missing an item I call and they have provided a refund without me having to return. Sometimes they offer a free agua fresca when I do return to have the order corrected. Also some items have been a total miss. The carnitas plate was terribly dry, and I was given sliced pork! I as expecting juicy tender with crispy bits. Instead it was awfully dry pale looking slice of pork. Their chicken tortilla soup was meh. Kinda bland and didn't come with the garnishes (cream, cilantro and avocado) like it did on the Yelp pictures others posted. Overall, this place is great and is my favorite Mexican food restaurant in El Monte. read more

I go here periodically, and I have to say that everything here is delicious. I can honestly say that I've had about half of what's on their menu I've had breakfast I've had lunch I've had dinner everything from steak and eggs to taquitos. Also, the fajitas are the bomb! And the service is always great. The ladies/señoras that work there are always so friendly, it's a very nice comfortable place , the place is nice and clean. It is located in a strip mall so it's out-of-the-way but do not let that fool you. So, basically, if you're in the area, go by and grab a bite.

We were seated right away when we arrived, although it took a while before anyone came to take our order. We started with the sizzling razor clams, and honestly, they were the highlight of the meal, perfectly cooked, well seasoned, and a great start. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue, and it really missed the mark. Several ingredients felt poorly prepared. The tendon was so tough it was basically inedible and had to be pushed aside. The pork blood tasted like it had been cooked separately since it had none of the broth flavor soaked into it. Even the beef slices felt out of place, almost like they had been pulled from a pho bowl and dropped into the BBH at the last minute. The broth itself lacked the richness, spice, and strong lemongrass flavor that normally makes Bun Bo Hue stand out. It just tasted flat. There was also a mix-up with our order when the wrong dish came out instead of the lobster. When the lobster finally arrived, it was badly overcooked and much smaller than what was shown on the menu. On top of that, the music was blasting the entire time, no one really checked in to see how things were going, and it took multiple attempts just to get our check. When we mentioned the food issues, the response was basically, "We'll let the chef know." Not exactly the kind of service you hope for after a disappointing meal. Really wanted to like this place, especially after such a strong start with the razor clams, but overall it ended up being a letdown.

This time, we ordered the Shrimp with Cashew Nuts and the Beef with Chinese Broccoli. The Shrimp with Cashew Nuts was absolutely delicious, but unfortunately, the Beef with Chinese Broccoli was extremely salty. After just one bite, I honestly couldn't eat any more of it. I have always liked this restaurant and have been coming here frequently over the years. I've enjoyed their lobster several times with my family, and almost every dish I've tried here has been delicious. That's why I was especially disappointed with the Beef with Chinese Broccoli this time, as it was far too salty. Despite that, I still think this is a great place for lunch. Their lunch specials are reasonably priced, the service is always good, and the portions of rice are very generous. One thing I especially appreciate is the complimentary orange slices they serve to every customer after the meal. The oranges are always fresh and sweet, making a nice ending to lunch. One other thing I noticed during this visit was that the restroom now has a new premium hand soap. I don't remember seeing it before, and it was a nice little upgrade that added a touch of luxury hand soap to the overall experience. Overall, I still enjoy coming here and will definitely be back. Hopefully, the kitchen can be a little more careful with the seasoning next time .

Two weeks before my event, I texted Danny to confirm that everything was good and to go over final details. He completely ghosted me--day after day--until Sunday the week before my event. That's when he finally responded and told me he had double-booked my date. He then tried to blame a "booking agent," even though I booked with him directly and paid him directly. To make it worse, he tried to send me to a different location 20 minutes away. After being ignored for weeks and having to chase him down myself, I had zero confidence trusting him again. The worst part? He still has not returned my deposit. Despite canceling on me, he has refused to give my money back, leaving me with no choice but to pursue legal action just to recover what I'm owed. This was extremely unprofessional, stressful, and costly. If you're planning an event, be very careful. Based on my experience, this business cannot be trusted to honor bookings or communicate responsibly.

We ordered French style beef, house special fried chow mein, honey walnut shrimp and steamed rice. First of all, the serving portions were very generous. All came in very large plates. The beef was saucy, tender and flavorful. In other restaurants, they add mushrooms to fill the plate. Here, the plate is full of just large chunks of beef. The shrimp in the honey walnut dish were large prawns. They were moist, succulent and tender. It had a rich flavor because of the mayo. The chow mein was full of chicken, shrimp, squid and octopus. It was perfectly crispy and saucy at the same time. We ate to our heart's content and ended up taking home plenty of leftovers enough for another meal. Our total bill was a little over $108 with tip. We will definitely be back. Parking is valet only and cost is $5.

This place was busy, luckily we made a reservation through yelp!…read more As a party of 6 we ordered - braided crab meat fish maw soup - shrimp fried rice - beef loc lac - honey walnut shrimp - peasprout - lobster house special Newport style with garlic noodles (market price for the day was $34.95 and the lobster was 5.75lbs) It definitely fed all 6 of us perfect! Everything was good and nothing missed the mark, except the lobster had a ridiculous amount of green onions and they skimped on the noodles. I felt that the noodles were also overcooked and lack flavor of their own. For a Chinese restaurant, there was pretty quick service. Waiters frequent the table to collect dirty dishes and refill waters

They offer plastic bibs as well as gloves which I appreciated. For flavoring, we ordered garlic butter and Louisiana flavors. The Louisiana flavor was the best by far! Just go Louisiana for everything. We also ordered: Po Boy sandwich - surprisingly really good and would definitely order this again Fried Mussels and onion rings - the friends enjoyed the mussels but the onion rings were okay as I've had better elsewhere Cajun Fries - really hit the spot! Tip: take the bag of your leftover sauce to-go and add more seafood at home. I added noodles as well and it was a weeks work of deliciousness.
