Definitely the best in the South Bay and probably the best in LA. Good old down home really delicious food and chill vibes. Service is top notch. You won't be sorry. Portions can be massive! read more

Zacatecas serves homey Mexican food of great flavor & portion at a great price. We've visited several times with different groups of family and friends, and everyone has enjoyed it. Yesterday, we had the Steak Rancheros which had such tender steak and veggies, and Shrimp Rancheros which was also tasty :) We also shared the strawberry margarita which was nice on a warm evening. Service is fast and efficient, and staff are friendly. There's a small parking lot for the strip mall's shared businesses, but we usually don't have a hard time finding a spot! read more

Unexpected place an unfamiliar shopping strip. Aroma as soon as you walk in. Surprised they don't use lard and instead vegetable oil. The flavors still going. Chips and salsa fresh and crisp. Quesadilla bomb before the guacamole and sour cream bomb. Got the number 15. Eddie good looking out on the recommendation. You were spot on with the service too. Also Gilbert thank you as well. I will be back read more

Zacatecas Restaurant - The number 15 Steak Picado - Mexican Near Me - Hawthorne, California

The friendliness our waiter and staff were certainly the highlight of our time here. Came in on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and the restaurant was moderately busy. This spot seems to be a gem in the area, so we decided to give it a try. The shredded beef in the taquitos were dry and the meat in the burrito was not very tasty. However, there were complimentary refills for our horchata and the service from the staff made our time here enjoyable. read more

Zacatecas Restaurant - Tom's burrito, 2 taquitos with guacamole - Mexican Near Me - Hawthorne, California

Small family run Mexican food restaurant in the South Bay. Went with 3 others and we all enjoyed our meal there. We were warmly greeted, seated quickly and had menus and drinks served promptly. They brought out hot home chips and salsa which were delicious. Two of us had the shrimp fajitas, one had steak fajitas and the fourth ordered beef tacos. Everyone loved the meals and portions were quite generous. Prices were definitely more reasonable than the more expensive places by the beach and better tasting. New favorite Mexican restaurant for us! read more

Zacatecas Restaurant - Beef enchiladas plate - Mexican Near Me - Hawthorne, California

I was in the area with an hour to kill. I browsed the local eateries and noticed this spot had pretty high reviews. I decide to give it a try and I'm glad I did. Sometimes a place makes you feel welcomed and comfortable as soon as you walk in. This is one of those places. The server and the owner are both friendly and genuinely hoping you have a great experience. The Asada plate was pretty good. The crunchy taco wasn't as crunchy as it should've been. The gobernador's shrimp was a bit too mushy for my taste. Overall, the food was good and I'll will be back if I'm in the area. read more

Very unassuming restaurant with a tight parking lot. Very welcoming staff , seated me right away. Full bar with cans of sodas, rather than fountain drinks. Booths or tables to choose from. TV's hung on the walls. Chips and salsa delivered right away. Salsa was chunky style. Really good flavor. Not hot, mild. House margarita was very tasty. I got a combination plate with a crunchy shredded beef taco, chile relleno, beans and rice . A lot of beans and rice, I couldn't eat it all. The taco shell was definitely home made. The shredded beef was spiced and cooked well. The Chile relleno was covered in a red enchilada sauce and stuffed with cheese. I love rellenos and this one was good. My water was kept filled and the staff was very friendly and polite. I would not hesitate to eat here again next time I'm in town. read more

I was in town visiting a friend and I told him I wanted Mexican food & he brought me here. This place is worth any wait there could ever be. When you first walk in your welcomed almost to what feels like a family dinner, they seat and give you one of the menus I have pictured. The menu offers you a strong selection of amazing traditional Hispanic dishes. My bean & cheese burrito with a side of rice was literally perfect. My friend got a shredded beef burrito & it was amazing as well. I will definitely be back to try something new & I genuinely can't wait read more

I enjoyed my Tom's burrito me and my friend gave it a 9/10. The only thing is that my stomach is feeling funny like something wasn't "fresh" and I found some kind of string in my leftover burrito. The chips and salsa were ok and so was the Jamaica. Nothing amazing. Really great service very friendly, especially Juan. Enough booth seating. Small quaint restaurant. read more

Went to meet up with friends who had a long layover at LAX. We found Zacatecas and it definitely didn't disappoint. There were 9 of us in our party and they had complimentary chips and salsa for the table. Our food took a while to come out but everything was delicious. Everyone ordered something different. The tostada was massive, the Tom's burrito was packed with everything. I loved my garlic shrimp dish, my friend enjoyed her asada fajitas, the kids loved the quesadilla, birria tacos. We also enjoyed their margarita. We also had flan for dessert. No wonder there's a line outside when it's peak time because the restaurant is loved and enjoyed by locals. read more

If you're looking for a hidden gem, this is it. The staff is always incredibly friendly and personable. They genuinely make you feel welcomed every time you walk in. The food is consistently amazing, and that's saying something because it has never disappointed me. The place has such a cozy, comfortable vibe that makes dining in, which isn't typically my first choice, a very cool experience. I'm usually the type of person who's always trying new restaurants, but this is one of the very few spots I keep coming back to. When you know it's going to be great every single time, it's hard not to. If you're on the fence about trying it, do yourself a favor and go. You won't regret it! read more

I did takeout since this place is open on a Sunday. So I can't speak for ambiance. But the lady on the phone super sweet. The food was nice size portion. Got bean and cheese burrito dry ( they offer that) two beef shredded tacos and some Reano chile shredded beef burrito no beans. Everything was so largely sized and fresh tasting my dad who picked it up says it's a cute mom and pop place. read more

We've been coming here for more than 20 years and this review is way overdue. They have literally watched everybody's kids grow up and it's a best family rent Mexican restaurant in the South Bay.

Came to Zacatecas with a group and left very satisfied. Right when you sit down, they bring out complimentary chips and salsa, which is always a good sign--and the salsa had a nice kick, not bland at all. For food, we ordered a little of everything. The beef tacos were solid: flavorful, juicy meat, well-seasoned, and served simply so the beef really shines. The shrimp tacos were cooked perfectly, not overdone, and packed with flavor. We also got the chicken enchiladas, which were comforting and hearty. The chicken was tender, the sauce was rich without being overpowering, and everything tasted fresh. Lastly, the chile verde was everyone's favorite. Super savory, tender pork, and that green sauce had depth with a spicy kick that kept you coming back for more. Overall, generous portions, classic Mexican flavors, and very friendly staff. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when craving real Mexican food. read more
