Mexicatessen

always drove by thinking I should stop and get some food. today I did, and thank goodness I did stop. the staff was extremely friendly and helped me out of a difficult financial situation, with a smile! since I have never been here before, they offered some taste samples, so I could see how spicy the food was. everything was packaged with care and love. I will return for more food!

The hard shell beef tacos are always great here. And the milanesa torta is bomb. Also tried the guacamole cheddar cheese fries. 5 star for all the delicious food. They have all the condiments you need too. Limes, jalapenos, Chile sauce, and pickled carrots.

This Monterey Park institution is famous for their spicy Green Chile Burritos. I got their #8 Burrito plate and it was fantastic. The burrito had some serious heat and the rice & beans tasted fresh and homemade. There are a few tables outside to eat next to the small parking lot. Definitely will be back.

The burritos are awesome!
They are all meat with onion a d cilantro. Have mild and extra spicy red and green sauce.
Choice of wet or dry burritos.
Whether you order carnitas, cabeza, lingua, or beef, their burritos are all meat.
Meat good!
I would recommend this place.
I have eaten here for the past five years.

It’s a hole in the wall Mexican Restaurant that good quality food at a great price. Staff is friendly and customer service is top notch!

I come here for the chili verde burrito. If you like spicy, flavorful food you really should do yourself a favor and try it!

Great customer service. Food is delicious...a hidden gem in Monterey Park. Reminds me of my mommy's home cooking.

Nicest people work there. They greet you and care to develop relationships with returning customers. Food is authentic and not greasy. Reasonable prices too. Only thing I’d change is to add is jack cheese as another type of cheese option. Queso fresco and yellow cheddar are the only options. Cheddar cheese they use isn’t the best tasting and their flour tortillas are ok, other brands may taste better. Just some suggestions, but everything else is top notch!

I always stop in when in the area for my favorite burrito, green chili. One of the few places where the green chili is actually spicy. Maria is a real sweetheart. She's been there for ever. Also delicious fish taco, tacos duraderas ( crispy/hard ). A bean and cheese burrito delicious as well.

Love this place, love the Chile Verde plate, it always hits the spot. It's a little hole in the wall with great food. Hopefully it's able to survive another 100 years. 💪

Very good and tasty mexican food, well served, nice staff I enjoyed my pozole

Established in 1954 and I can taste why they’re still in business👏🏾 some of the best food I’ve had since living in California. I give you twenty stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent food and they are very nice as well.

We needed a break from local spots on Cesar Chavez, I took a ride to Mexicatessen on Atlantic by the Monterey Park Hospital. I had a green chili and my brother had a red chili burrito, the green chili was perfect, not to hot. They make the best green chili with pork, sometimes extremely 🔥 Hot, but always Delicious.

Mexicatesan in Monterey Park,California serves delicious Mexican dishes in authentic styles to order.Steak tacos,carne asada fries and great chile verde.Fast service, friendly servers,conveniantly located off of Atlantic Blvd.,The food is really delicious!

Great food, family run business. Have been a customer for 50 years. Try the half and half combo plate. Red and green all meat platter with rice, beans and salad. The all meat Chile burritos are the 💣. High quality ingredients, and consistency are the hallmarks of this gem in Monterey Park.

This is without a doubt my favorite restaurant! It's got a convenient location on my commute and excellent prices, but on top of that the staff are so warm and inviting and they seem to know everybody by name! I had a burrito today that was so good it healed my SOUL. ten out of five absolutely recommend

A very well established restaurant that has been there since the sixties, matter of fact my sister worked there in 1969. The recipe has not changed much. I still go by a purchase their 50/50 with cheese.
You will be happily rewarded, also the folks working there are wonderful people.

Always fresh good real Mexican food 😋
I love 💘 the green chili burritos.
If you prefer, less heat, try half and half.
You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
Hopefully we can enjoy inside eating.

First off, there aren't many places in LA where you can get food for two people for $20, let alone at this quality. My mom got nachos that were but only beautiful, but delicious. Everything is homemade, from the refried beans to the carnitas. I had a burger and fries and that was delicious as well (the fries were perfection). I don't come to this area often, but I will definitely be back here. Highly recommend!
