This place has a very nice decor also this is NOT in Boyle Hts its in ESLOS and have not tried the rest of the food but came to this place for some Chicken soup aka Caldo de Pollo and was VERY disappointed.....I ordered the largest bowl they had, and if this was mother's business or grandmothers business should of been pissed with the serving I got, water mostly some veggies and baby chicks leg and wing wth?? Chicken soup go Zapian in Pico Rivera read more

I would've never picked this pace out on my own, but my dad being the Yoda to my Luke in the foodie world insisted to bring me here for a late breakfast. We arrived around 11:30AM this past Saturday and the place was fairly empty. We were greeted right away by a smiling hostess/waitress. This place really gets an A++ for service and hospitality. We even got to meet Teresita herself as she made her rounds around the restaurant greeting everyone and making sure we were being serviced well! It may be that I am desensitized to "authentic" Mexican food, but I felt it was all underwhelming and bland... wait except for the Horchata! The horchata was great and you could tell it was homemade. We ordered taquitos as a starter, and they plopped on a teaspoon of guac and less than a dollop of crema. My entree was the chilaquiles w/ eggs & steak plate. I felt the chilaquiles were not spicy enough & the red salsa that it was tossed in lacked in flavor. The biggest disappointment were their chips & salsa. Salsas were a tad spicy, yet NO flavor I had to doctor them up with salt and lemon and the chips were brought out to us cold. I would gladly give this place another try! Based on these great reviews, I may have gone on bad day for the cooks or a bad day for me! read more

I've been to this restaurant several times over the years and they never lose their quality flavors in each dish. Great food.

Imagine steamed rice having more flavor than their machaca. This places is listed as "best machaca in LA". I ordered the machaca and I stared at it wondering how it could be possible that with all those huge pieces of tomatos, onions and jalapeños the machaca STILL was flavorless. Seriously. I added salt and it tasted like food matter with salt. Saline cracker have more flavor. Wtf?. Mind blowing. Cheese Enchiladas were also ordered and all they do; Is add your table dipping salsa on top of the tortillas. Gross. And too spicy to eat. Carne asada torta was also bland to where u can only taste the beans. Bean torta anyone? This place shouldn't be open with those recipes. Unless you're a senior citizen with lots of health issues and have to eat bland food. I donno though. Their jellos and pudding have more flavor than this joke of a restaurant. read more

This is the type of Mexican food I love to eat, the type that taste freshly made and homemade. Every dish is delicious so you can't go wrong with it. The only thing missing was some good handmade tortillas. Very tasty and also friendly and attentive service. read more

This is my mom and dad's favorite restaurant! They want to eat here every single time we decide to eat out, and I don't mind it! The waitresses know us already and they always ask for my mom when my dad and I decide to go behind her back! The food is amazing and it's the most authentic Mexican food I've ever had. My parents are from Huejucar, JAL, which is a border town to Zacatecas and the food reminds them of home. Definitely going to continue coming back over and over! read more

I love this place it is a sincerely authentic place and it's one of the few Mexican restaurants that i have actually enjoyed throughout the years and it's has not changed the recipes. It's one of the best East LA eats, and there's no good restaurants like this where i live, so i don't mind driving out of the area. read more

Stopped in for a take out order for lunch today 6/23. Service was top notch to begin with, greeted and walked through the menu and the items I was interested in. When it was time to receive our order it was brought out to us and we were given complimentary items. The Burrito Azteca de Asada was delicious and fresh with good quality carne. read more

Overpriced, portions are small, food is bland, everything is cooked in lard and the nopales were from a can. This place is a rip off. Do yourself a favor and go spend your hard earned money somewhere else. Not sure how this place has gotten so many good reviews, but I am guessing most are not from actual customers. read more

I must say that I enjoyed dinner at Teresita's...loved the hígado encebollado my mom order the Tilapia tacos, everything was delicious! For desert we order a slice of pistachio cake yummy .

I saw this restaurant on Uber eats. Im not feeling to well and the Caldo de pollo sounded good. I ordered that along with a Jamaica. The Jamaica was good. Now the Caldo de pollo made me even more sick. I had the vegetables and those were ok. I had one small piece of chicken before I had to go throw up. The chicken tasted old and like it was left out. It was a rotten nasty taste that was left in my mouth. Im hoping the vegetables that I ate don't make me even more sick. I received a message from the owner not taking credit for the way he runs his kitchen. Very unprofessional. Upon reading past reviews that graded the restaurant at 1 star I saw that this "owner" likes to discredit his customers experience or opinions. I came across another review where another person did not like the chicken soup for different reasons. How cowardly to hide behind a private message and not let other potential customers see what kind of establishment this is. In response to the owners message I work in the medical field believe me I know what I am talking about. And your food was the cause of it. The chicken was disgusting, I didn't even eat a lot of it . Like I said it tasted old, and sour and just bad. I know chicken is not supposed to tasted that sour, specially in soup. And I was not the only one that tasted it. I do think you make your soup daily, but you might have left that chicken out to thaw over night and not in the fridge like a restaurant should. Specially chicken, knowing that it can give people salmonella if not cooked or taken care of properly. Im just hoping other people that had the soup that day did not end up being sick like I did. Hopefully the health department looks into their walk-in fridge and freezer soon to get things under control. read more

Teresita's - Unprofessional message from owner - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I live in South Carolina now so every time I return to the West Coast, I am always on the lookout for great Mexican food. Though I'm a Central California Native who found herself trapped in LA for a month due to a family emergency, I did get one or two chances to eat out. I was really looking for a hearty meal or maybe a giant burrito and found this place thanks to Yelp! I ordered a chile verde burrito and it DID NOT disappoint. Well, it did disappoint in that after eating it, I realized that I would not see a burrito of this caliber in my new home and wished I could stomach eating a second in the same sitting. But the serving was HUGE and had I actually had breakfast that day, I probably wouldn't have been able to finish it. I also have to say that service was wonderful. I dined here with a girlfriend and her son and our server was incredibly kind, patient and helpful when we had the inevitable kid at the table water spill accident. I probably won't find myself in this portion of the LA ever again but I strongly encourage anyone who does to stop in! It was fantastic! read more

Off the bat the place is amazing it look just like if you were in mexico with the wall decor and the tables. You feel it once you enter with the music too. I order the huevos rancheros with carnitas and plate itself is a beautiful sight to see it beautifully display and the amount is not what your expecting it good enough for 2 people or someone with a big appetite. read more

Humpday special As in, "who do I have to hump to get some more of this fantastic pork?" COSTILLAS DE PUERCO EN CHILE NEGRO Oh, sorry, I thought I was still in East LA... PORK SHORT RIBS IN BLACK CHILE SAUCE http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/teresitas-restaurant-los-angeles?select=90xNjb5rtANU_iMLh_B-Tg#90xNjb5rtANU_iMLh_B-Tg Rich, thick black chile sauce poured over tender juicy pork short ribs.....so damn delicious. Beans and rice were standard. The pork though....fantastic. This dish is only available on Wednesdays so plan accordingly....and don't hump people for pork....show some decorum people, have a little self respect and leave that debauchery to me. read more

I was craving homemade Mexican food and I found the perfect place! I placed my order to go because I had pending errands, so just wanted to get home and relax with good quality comfort food. It took me to those flavors I rarely find here and that only a few I could find in Mexico... I ordered the Sope plate (One of potato and the other one of asada) they where delicious! I also had their Sopa de Fideo which tasted just like grandmother's! I talked to Antonio the owner's son and he was very kind he personally packed up everything for me and as courtesy gave me a piece of their pistachio bread and that just placed the cherry on top of all this delightful experience because it was sooo good!! Thank you Teresitas and I will be coming back very soon again! read more

Came in especially for the chilaquiles and without a doubt I was not let down. These are what you call chilaquiles, soothing taste, great flavor and most importantly spicy enough. The birria de chivo was also of great taste and cooked just right, thought it would come with side dishes however it was served in a bowl with its juice. Service was also really good, waiter and waitress did a great job being very kind and frequently offering refills. The atmosphere is great, nice relaxing Spanish music playing while you can observe a simple nice old school Mexican decor. Will definitely be coming back here soon, especially for breakfast and these amazing chilaquiles they have! read more

Super authentic hole-in-the-wall place in the notorious east LA area. The neighborhood is very shady, but worth the drive. We ordered sopas, Chille Relleno, chicken and Carne Asada tacos. The breaded panakes and tortillas were freshly home made, soft and puffy. I think we were the only non-Spanish speaking customers in the whole restaurant... I was slightly embarassed when I ordered my food in my weird, broken, non-existent Spanish. Note to self: need to learn Spanish just so I can order food... read more

Let me tell you..MEXICAN DELISH!! Going to come back for sure..this place has amazing home style dishes..from mega spicy to guero style sauces.. We had the green enchiladas..super spicy but worth it if you like it HOT! Carne asada ranchero plate, meat was amazingly good..not chewy or old..came, both came with rice and beans. Guacamole, sopa de fideo, nopales, house made pan de pistachios..OMG was that a treat.. Sorry we were pretty hungry and ordered alot of food, but was well worth the tummy ache later.. Also great service!! Til the next time..Thanks!!! read more

Is hard to find great chilaquiles verdes! Teresita's restaurant is the best spot to get Spicy chilaquiles verdes! I don't usually eat spicy food, but my girlfriend does and she loved the chilaquiles verdes. I asked for chilaquiles rojos and they were delicious too. The services is great every single waitress who passed by would ask you how everything is. Normally in other restaurants you get only one waitress and if she is busy she would never come back to ask you how everything is or if you need anything. It was our first time in this restaurant and they have us courtesy Arroz con Leche for me and my girlfriend. If you would like authentic Mexican food this is the place to go. They had been selected twice in the best 25 restaurants in Los Angeles and they proudly have the newspaper framed in their wall. read more

I felt this place was over priced. I must say the restaurant is very clean and the restroom. The music they were playing wasn't the right fit for the atmosphere. The music was too slow felt as I were in the dentist, wish they they could have played some Latin music. The food was okay. I wouldn't come back because of the prices. The service was great!!! read more

Recently visited this good restaurant. Food was good and the young waitress serving us was EXCELLENT. The only drag I had was that, due to "Covid", we were briefed on strict criteria to follow while being seated. We couldn't take off our masks until food was served and then were asked to put them back on immediately. I didn't like this, although in all fairness to the establishment, they are trying to run a business. Coffee was luke warm and the salsa and chips was a very small serving. However, the caldo de rez was really good. I'll wait till the "restrictions" to come back here. Great job and service, young waitress! read more

So food was ok. Over priced. Friendly staff though. I have been here twice but not impressed.. The beans r delicious though . chilaquiles taste canned..and way too saucey.

Delicious food, wonderful service, and clean environment!. Would highly recommend if looking for great authentic Mexican food!

Happy hour was great, service was friendly but Caldo de res needs more Bone broth flavor. Soup tasted to simple or bland. ( Cook with Hueso de Res for more authentic flavor) Nice relaxing anbiance, but needs more booths. Small tables just don't feel comfortable for a big and tall person like myself. Lots of parking. read more

Delicious food estilo Zacatecas! Friendly staff, clean, authentic home made food. The beans and huevos con chorizo are hands down the best I've had at a restaurant. I can just eat the beans with a tortilla. I've been here numerous times. Today I had the Chilaquiles Rojos with Carne Asada. The chorizo is fresh not super greasy, fresh jalapeños. The best breakfast in town. read more

Love the Cocido, they use beef shank instead of the usual beef chuck with bone and the flavor is richer and tastier. It's a nice soup that can feed your hunger pangs like a Sunday roast dinner. The vegetables in the Cocido are perfect and hold their integrity so you will have a feeling of eating something well balanced. I always enjoy this Cocido as a meal. The Birria is nice, it's tender and fall off the bone, it is hearty and decadent and if you enjoy goat, this is high quality and not gamey. I would order one to share because you want to try more than one thing especially if it is made well. We usually go for some tacos a la carte because I like to seat and enjoy my time. But if you order the entre with sides, they are done well. The beans are wonderful, they are beans from the pot and not refried. For everyone who just wants a light soup, the Fideo is wonderful. Simple and delicious! Teresita's a cute family owned restaurant, come support it because you get rewarded with great food and atmosphere. Hint: on cold days, you need to call to reserve your soup, it goes fast on the weekends! read more
