El Torito

Reviewed By Keystone_Traveler

Sat amongst the tightly packed tables within the bar area during a recent Taco Tuesday evening. The table & chair layout made it "challenging" to walk to the buffet area or the restroom. With the full house, service at our table was not as attentive as it should have been. Food quality was good; however, not exceptionally better than other Mexican restaurants throughout the United States. While certainly adequate, I don't see a compelling reason to return with so many choices in the area.

Peppers Mexican Restaurant

Reviewed By WHS-Eagle

Pepper's was one of our favorite Mexican restaurants when we lived in the LA area; therefore, we were disappointed to find old favorite items were not the same quality. Perhaps the problem was it was a very busy Sunday evening and the staff was overwhelmed. But it is still one of the better Mexican restaurants in the Pasadena/Arcadia area.

Chipotle Mexican Grill

Reviewed By Tina C

Ate here about a week ago...I had a carnitas burrito with all the stuff they could possibly stuff in it...lol. It was really good, fresh and tasty...guacamole does cost extra, but I love guacamole, so I did get that in my burrito as well. There's some indoor seating here, though not too much. The location is great, lots of parking. I know Chipotle has been getting a "not-so-good" wrap in the news lately, but I've never had a problem eating here.

Villa Catrina

Reviewed By SteveLicata

After a long absence, my wife and I returned to check out their Sunday buffet. They have definitely improved the quality and the buffet is mid-range priced at $20 (including champagne or mamosas). They have a good omelette bar, taco bar and decent variety of other dishes. We would rate the food as good (some meat dishes were a bit salty), but not excellent. At present, they do not offer coupons or discounts but if you want a decent and very filling meal, with good service, this is the place to be for Sunday brunch.

Baja Fresh

Reviewed By Tina C

Baja Fresh is one of my favorite take-out food places around. I have never been disappointed by anything I've ordered there. My favorite is their taquito plate....it comes with four chicken taquitos, black or pinto beans, spanish rice, and sour cream and guacamole. Of course you can also help yourself to lots of different types of salsa. I've also had their burritos, tacos, salads, and all of it is absolutely delicious! It's not a totally Mexican place, it's more southwestern...really delicious!

Reviewed By WendyS58

This food is so fresh that every dish is amazing. I took a grad student of mine there a couple years ago and he exclaimed, "These beans are fresh!" I said "How do you know?" He said, "I'm Mexican!" He was living in Pasadena and bragged that he had tried every Mexican restaurant in the city. He really loved Margaritas. Not only do they have the best Tostadas I've ever tasted (my benchmark of a good Mexican place), the service is wonderful. The waitpeople are so kind and flexible. They will do anything to please you.

Reviewed By lynndds

We had a big group but got a back room that was perfect. The margaritas were really good. After two I thought it best to stop so I could successfully drive. The food is typical SoCal Mexican faire. I bet the tamales are made, frozen and thawed. The bar area looks good and the service was great.

Chiquita Bonita

Reviewed By sazoram

Came here at 11 am on a Sunday--within 20 minutes the restaurant was packed. Great idea straddling two mealtimes--my son had breakfast (involving eggs), my husband and I the lunch/dinner entrees. Everything was great and staff was efficient, kind and helpful. Portions are HUGE! You can easily split a meal between two adults. My burrito was yummy--highly recommended!

Casa Del Rey

Reviewed By Angieaswims

Great Mexican food served by great staff. Chips and dip are awesome. Taco salad is great. Chili relleno is great. Fajitas are great. Chimichangas are great. Margaritas are great. If you are on an outside table that is on the side of the sidewalk away from the building it’s important to know you can’t order alcohol there. But outside tables on he building side you can. Very important!!! They also have a back room if you have a large group and want to reserve rent it out. There is a small bar I’d you want to just come get a drink. You can order full food menu at bar as well.
