Best Restaurants in Boyle Heights

32 restaurants analyzed · Los Angeles

Boyle Heights is one of Los Angeles's most authentic destinations for Mexican and Latin American food, with taquerias, panaderias, and family-run restaurants concentrated around Mariachi Plaza and along 1st Street. The cooking here reflects a deep Mexican-American heritage rather than a trend, and most meals cost well under what you'd pay for equivalent quality elsewhere in the city. If you're after real al pastor, homemade tortillas, or traditional antojitos, Boyle Heights delivers consistently.
