El Tepeyac Cafe
El Tepeyac Cafe has long been treating Angelenos to its authentic Mexican fare – since 1955 to be exact! Its selection of burritos is hard to beat, and the shredded beef machaca is right up there as our top pick. Feeling like a challenge? Take onEl Tepeyac Cafe’s ‘Manuel’s Special Burrito Challenge’ – a long running tradition which involves one person eating a five pount burrito! Many have tried but few have achieved it.
B.S. Taqueria
It really needs no introduction, but no list would be complete without this Downtown staple. B.S. Taqueria‘s menu has some unique twists, think lemon-pepper chicken chicharrones and clams and lardo. Not to mention, their plates are perfect for sharing with the familia. Insider tip: leave room for the tres leches cake; a sponge cake with brown sugar meringue and macadamia nut.
Tacos Super Gallito
Mexican food truck on the move? We say yes! Serving up delicious Mexican street food via their food truck and LA outposts, Tacos Super Gallito is much loved amongst taco-craving Angelenos. The tacos come in at $1.50 a pop, with over 7 meats to choose from, including cow tongue for the adventurous and chicken and shredded pork for the more faint-hearted.
Tocaya Organica
Redefining Mexican food with their fresh and healthy menu, you can wave the days of greasy fingers behind at this organic eatery. Tocaya Organica covers salads, bowls, tacos, burritos and wraps – with plenty of vegan and gluten free options. The shredded kale and quinoa salad has a cult-like following, and we can happily recommend the Cali green tacos.
Baja Fresh
Baja Fresh definitely knows a thing or two about big and fresh! They’ve been keeping Angelenos well fed with a Tex-Mex menu, plenty of staple sides (our fave is the signature black beans) and their spicy queso for over 25 years now. Two words: Baja Bowl. Actually, make that six words: Baja Bowl and Chicken Tortilla Soup.
Loteria Grill
Loteria Grill began as a stand in the Farmers Market, but has grown to multiple locations in LA, proving that they must be doing something right! You can enjoy a delicious selection of soft tortilla tacos, 4 for just $19. Ay, caramba! Top off your meal with a variety of salsas, fresh guac and homemade corn chips, and your appetite will surely be satisfied.
Chichen Itza Restaurant
A family-run affair, Chichen Itza Restaurant is home to the most authentic Yucatecan kitchen in town. A mixture of Mayan, Spanish and Lebanese recipes, this iconic eatery is famous for their chile-intensive dishes and traditional meals, such as cochinita pibil and papadzul. Chef and owner Gilberto Certino has been recognised as one of the top Latino chefs in the country. He even grows his own sour oranges, which are required for authentic flavor!
Gracias Madre
If you’re a vegan, fear not, for Gracias Madre is bringing all your favourite meat-free Mexican food to your table! Gluten and vegan-friendly, expect Gracias Madre’s signature tacos with barbecue jackfruit carnitas, cashew crema, pickled cabbage, crispy onion and black beans. Our favorite part? Their menu is inspired by Mom’s home cooked recipes.
So skip the lines, crowds, and reservations this Cinco de Mayo. Tap into these fiesta-friendly restaurants in the UberEATS app and celebrate the good life.
