10. Del Taco
Reviewed By tinalouise63
Turkey tacos are so good. Lots of meat and Iove that they have tomato son them. Shells always crunch. And shells don't break like the other place. TBell. Del taco has fresh beans and I love their single del burgers. Fries are crinkle and soft inside crisp outside. I love the shakes. I love the breakfast. I only do not like the cheese on burgers. It's so sweet taste like the cheap cheese they use with the wrap.Their is always a smile at the drive through. Oh and love the cherry coke. Hard to find at fast food.

Jose Sr. and Myrna Grijalva opened the first Joselito's Mexican Food in 1977 on Magnolia Blvd. in Burbank, CA. They named the small location after their first son Jose Rafael ( Joselito ). Since 2000, Joselito and his sister Tumara have enjoyed serving gu

The food was great as usual but service was pretty slow considering it was not as crowded as usual - maybe because we did not order fajitas on fajita night. Our server was apologetic and it was not for his lack of working hard. The Cadillac margaritas were excellent but for the salted rim falling inside the glass......and they need to bring back the cucumber jalapeno margarita.

This is not a large restaurant...it's situated in the Montrose Shopping Park, a quaint area. Our margaritas were OK...nothing special or outstanding. We ordered a mexican pizza which we did not care for...it was piled high with toppings and it seemed like a mess. Our cheese crisp (off the menu) was not that great...it could have been more crispy. Everything had slices of avocado on it. Atmosphere was fair...it felt like an American restaurant that has been redecorated south of the border style. There is plenty of parking in the back of the place...in the front there is some, but scarce, street parking. There is a back entrance.
7. Tortas Mexico

We have been to this small restaurant many times & have never been disappointed. It's not fancy, you order at the counter & then take a number to your table. They also have a juice bar that I love. They have an extensive menu & they seem to have a lot of regulars that come in.

This family local well-established Mexican restaurant has great family portions unlimited chips and salsa The margaritas are quite delicious available and multiple sizes and you can customize them. The lobster enchiladas were delicious with enough Lobster meat that you could actually taste it and the chicken mole a had just enough spice to make it enjoyable
4. Taqueria Los Padilla
Reviewed By David_DeMulle
I guess I've been driving by it for the past 4 months, and last week one of my crew said "Stop Here!" So we did. It was beautiful for a store front diner. Really clean, and inside the staff were really friendly. Simple, good and great tastes. I highly recommend Los Padilla for that quick snack or meal while you're in La Crescenta

I took my son and his wife for lunch at this very pleasant and accessible Cantina in Glendale. The food was piping hot, tasty and quickly served. They had a good lunch special for margaritas, which didnât hurt.Thanks for your review! We will soon have Mon thru Wed specials on house margaritas! yay!

We love their "Green" sauce in their dishes. Light, cheezy, mild, and very likeable. Very very good Green Chile Relleno, excellent "Chicken Enchilada Ranchera ala Carte" for a light meal with the green sauce. My favorite for a light lunch. Ample chips with red salsa, either spicy or mild.Manny & Ana's motto: Abuelitaâs RecipesWe are not big on the heavy Mole sauces nor the Red Spicy sauces, so their Ranchera sauce really fits our pallet.When we are in a more celebratory mood, we choose the "Shrimp Enchilada", chock full of baby shrimp in a mushroom cream sauce. Typically two Enchiladas, but we "share" it and it is quite sufficient for our needs. Coupled with their margarita, we are well sated without being over stuffed.Manny and Ana are super friendly, making this restaurant like 'old home. A bit of a "Cantina" atmosphere especially with the area off the main dining room. We've been regulars since they took over almost 2 decades ago. Sunday brunch served.

In Flintridge and decided to try this recommended eatery. Ordered off of lunch menu and maybe that was the wrong way to go. I had the combo with a pork tamale and chicken enchilada. Both had very dry fillings and sauce was barely there. Spouse had a couple of beef tacos and again filling was dry. Chips and salsa good. Wait staff super and attentive. Nice atmosphere. Might give the place another go at it.Thank you for your honest feedback, Steve. We're glad to hear your experience with us was good. We're taking into consideration your suggestions and will definitely talk to our kitchen staff about your orders. We're always looking to improve where we've missed the mark. Do not hesitate to ask your server for a new order if you're not enjoying your meal. We hope you give us another chance to impress you with different options in our menu.
