“ Fantastic Mexican Food with a Chill Vibe! My wife and I love going to Little Mexico! The atmosphere is relaxed, with TVs for sports and a jukebox playing in the background. The service is always good, and even though plant-based dishes aren't always on the menu, the chef has made one for me the last two times, which I really appreciate. Today, my wife had shrimp caldo and tostada de jaivie, and she loved it. Little Mexico is our favorite spot, and we highly recommend it for anyone looking for great food and a chill vibe! ”
“ Love the food here. Breakfast lunch or dinner everything is great my favorite is the wet burrito. Service is ok it can use some improvement. And location is ok just hard to find parking on a busy day. ”
“ My niece took us here and the seafood we ordered was good. I got a fish ceviche tostada along with a shrimp and octopus cocktail. The tostada was piled high and was a meal in itself so that was a nice surprise. The cocktail was average for the price. The service was great and overall I would go again and next time get two of those fish tostadas and that would make me happy and stuffed! ”
“ We order this on over eats and it's has not disappointed yet. The whole staff at work loves this place. They give you a lot of food, we always have left overs ”
“ Came back tonight for some fajitas and a tostada mixta. Updating my review to 5 stars! This is my favorite Mexican restaurant I'm Montebello so it's deserving of a high review. Cheers! ”
“ Over all experience was nice. COME WITH AN APPETITE, PORTIONS ARE ENORME! The very restaurant was dark & cave like. This is likely to the ceiling being painted BLACK! . Lotsa seating! They definitely were in the Christmas spirit with PLENTY of Christmas decorations hanging from the ceiling and on the walls! Two tvs for sports watching and a jukebox playing good music from Mala Fe-La Vaca to Drake- Hotline Bling Took a few minutes to be greeted and asked how many in our party, but in all fairness they were BUSY! Flautas plate was good. Beans, guacamole, and rice were good, just needed some salt. My sister said the pozole was good. The serving size was gigantic!! Price - 5/5 (PORTIONS ARE HUGE!) Food/Flavor - 5/5 Cleanliness - 4/5 Friendliness - 3/5 Noise Level - 5/5; able to have a conversation without difficulty. ”
