BEST ORANGE JUICE HERE I'm definitely going to be a regular. The food was fresh and flavorful, clean establishment, friendly attentive service and unlimited free chips and salsa FTW! More reasons why to dine be - fresh squeezed orange juice was SOOOO GOOD! - chilaquiles w/ carne cooked perfectly chips were still crunchy, red sauce typical (could've used more heat) and the asada was tender - kids quesadilla plate great - enchiladas plate came out hot and yummy - added a beef soup which was really good! Big chunk of tender meat with veggies - they use quality beef here Gracias!

I've been coming here since I was little, and it has only gotten better. My mom used to go with her mom, and now me and my mom go together. The man who owns the business has always been so nice and welcoming, and they just added a beautiful portrait of his mother that adds to the vibrant space. The food always tastes so fresh and it's never too much or too little food like some other restaurants. Fair prices for amazing food! We even came on Cinco de Mayo and didn't have to wait too long for a table for two. I can't wait to bring my kids here.

After my first visit here and loving the food I brought a friend to try this place, he loved it. He thought the food was good and the service was great and he can be on the picky side.

This is an amazing place to visit. The food is so good. My partner and I have come here 3 times now and are always craving it. It really is like a home cooked meal but elevated. The food tastes fresh, authentic, and consistent. Every bite is like a kiss on your forehead from your grandma after a long day. You leave the restaurant feeling love in your belly and in your soul. A true gem in East Los Angeles. Comforting, healing, and delicious! The owner and staff are very friendly. The owner is also very knowledgeable and shares stories about the restaurant or about food history! Will be back again soon! 10/10 recommend coming at least once if not regularly!

In my eyes, Teresita's is one of ELA's best Mexican restaurant. With its classic Mexican dishes to festive ambiance, and impeccable service. You won't be disappointed by coming here and will have a great dinning experience. We came today for Sunday Brunch to celebrate my wife's step mother's birthday. We were a party of 6 and got seated pretty quickly. Our waitress immediately greeted us and took our drink order and brought chips and salsa to our table. I had the egg combination that came with potatoes, beans, and bacon. My wife had the chilaquiles that came with beans, potatoes, and eggs. Both dishes were incredible and so delicious. The entire table enjoyed their meal and we all had a great time celebrating the birthday girl. Our waitress was amazing and brought Flan with a candle which just made our step mom's day. This is definitely our go to spot when in the area, we've been coming here for years. We always recommend this spot to family and friends. I've brought co-workers here and they'll drive from the OC to eat here.
