2024 Best Mexican Restaurants in Los Angeles Area

Best Mexican Food in Los Angeles

Mexican food has so much to offer, with traditions that span 31 states, plus the capital of Mexico City (known as Distrito Federal).

Culinary influences even predate Christopher Columbus' “discovery” of the United States. Luckily for Angelenos, the city has absorbed many of these influences, meaning you can find authentic, regional Mexican cuisine across L.A. County, along with some restaurants that deliver uniquely SoCal touches.
