10. El Pollo Loco
Reviewed By geotech522
We had a lunch time celebration in the office and ordered El Pollo Loco chicken with salad, salsa, churros, mac & cheese and mashed potatoes with lots of tortilla chips and tortillas. The chicken was pretty good and not dry. The service was prompt and on time.
9. Alberto's Mexican Food

We were just stopping through after a hotel stay in the area and wanted breakfast burritos so we decided to try here. It's a standard tiny Mexican food stand but the burritos were awesome! My husband got his with the red salsa and it was super spicy - but he still enjoyed it.
8. El Pollero 95

This place is located 3825 E. Gage Ave, Bell, Ca 90201 NOT BELL GARDENS. I was introduce here by my son's grandfather when my son came home and raved how good the ceviche was. So I checked it out and now this is my to go place for the fish ceviche. One container can feed up to two people for $6.25 and that includes lemon wedges, freshly fried corn tortillas, and hot sauce. Once you get the container you will be surprised how much you get because it's all fish with little cilantro and no onions. Most places has fillers and little fish but not here. I usually order it to go and add more cilantro, lemon juice, onion and ketchup at home. The place is a small gem in Bell and it's next to a boxing gym but it's worth finding. The place is clean but I have not ventured into the bathroom. They only accept CASH but they do have an ATM. The menu is written in Spanish but the workers all speak English well and they are very nice. Not once have they been rude. I haven't tried the fish tacos but it looked so good and I believe they only serve on Fridays. Plus you can order by phone for pick up. Please try this place out and you will be happy that you did too. Oh, I forgot to mention the fish are not in tiny pieces they are in chunks!

No soy mexicano, pero e estado dos veces de viaje en Mexico y de todo lo que probé en Estados Unidos este sitio si tiene el sabor correcto, me hubiese gustado más opciones de salsas picantes pero todo muy bien
5. Taqueria Los Altos
Reviewed By kenyamitek
I was surrounded by three Mexican restaurants in this mall area and decided on the local small business outfit.What a good choice because the food was tasty and plentiful. I had the veggie burrito. The tortilla wrap was moist but yet sturdy to hold up the fillings. I also had a quesadilla and that was pan fried with guacamole and just to thw right crispness to my taste.There was also a pickled spiced salad bar with the sauces and that was a good filler to the start of the meal.The staff was excellent to handle my questions about the various dishes.I enjoyed the experience and the food. A definite recommendation to try out in Bell Gardens.
4. El Coraloense
Reviewed By NWtraveler
Heard about this having some of the best tacos in LA area and it does not disappoint. Fresh seafood all around. The fish tacos and fish ceviche being the highlights. Sampler tostada tray (three mini tostadas) are an excellent choice if you are undecided. Make sure you try the fish tacos, large portion and filling.

1. Gloria's Cocina Mexicana Restaurant

While talking about good food and how most restaurants have raised their prices while serving less, Gloria's was recommended as having good food and serving up a nice portion for a fair price so we went the same day.The restaurant is quite dated with wobbly chairs that make you think they could fall apart at any time. We were seated right away with chips & salsa brought right away. The chips were hard and the salsa a little on the hot side which was disappointing.The server came and took our order, she was very pleasant and attentive.The carnitas were not at all fresh, in fact, you could tell they were reheated and the taste was so blah that the "hot" salsa that came with the chips made the carnitas easier to eat. The rice was better but a little on the salty side.The meat served as steak picado looked reheated and dry and unlike any other I've seen but Mom said it tasted good so you can try it if you will....Papa said the sope, tostada & enchilada were different but good so he was content and really hungry and ate all his food.The hand made tortillas are what sealed the deal for my parents so they'll be back, not me....The service was great, prices fair and portions big.
