Opinions de Santa Cecilia Restaurant Los Angeles
Please keep supporting businesses like this. The food is just so traditional and good and restorative.
Best tacos de tripas in ALL of Los Angeles!!!! Excellent service, Big portions and great taste all around!! Make sure to order the salsa habanero if you like extra spicy!! The menudo on Saturday and Sunday is the best!!!!
Today when I visited this resturant, I was amazed on how good there tacos, rice and beans tasted. The customer service is great and the lady who took my order was nice and friendly. If you are hungry and want to eat something delicious try this place. You will not be disapointed.
More people would eat tripa if tripa was (aptly) described as "fried sausage casings," or if it was better known how magnificent the tripa is at Santa Cecilia Mexican Restaurant. Santa Cecilia's glorious "Taco Grande de Tripa" consists of cow intestines shredded into lean ribbons that, depending on how long they are griddled, can provide varying textures ranging from fibrous to crunchy. As with bacon, the best tripa is mostly crispy on the outside with just the faintest amount of chew inside. When you order tripa at Santa Cecilia, you're always asked how you want it prepared. While the resplendent results of ordering "extra crispy" is perhaps what I'd recommend to tripa novices, you could order "regular" and be rewarded at Santa Cecilia with an arguably more interesting taco. You really ought to try it both ways -- a reasonable excuse to order more tacos here, not that you need one. Regardless of how long the tripas are cooked, the flavor is straightforward: beefy, a bit salty, and a little earthy. This pairs well with the handmade corn tortilla and the house's green salsa habanera, a zippy and tart sauce that tastes like it was purpose-built for this specific taco.

Food is delicious. We have been coming here for the past 30 years. Highly recommended.
Fantastic place for a quick, delicious bite. Fast and wonderful service, convenient and all around great small place. Carnitas and burritos were amazing, definitely returning again.
The staff was very nice, I asked for something off the menu and they still made it. Now that is great service
Try the habanero salsa if you're feeling brave! Super authentic east LA taco / burrito spot, worth the trip and not pricey.
It was the first time. I ordered a taco to eat there and 3 burritos to go. They were very pleasant, courteous, polite, and very welcoming . The food was great, and the taco was a fresh homemade tortilla. I'll be back when I'm in the area. Muchas gracias. 👍
The very best experience. I don’t speak a word of Spanish and the owner was very helpful and I just said bring me the most popular meal you are known for making…. I was completely satisfied and happy. Don’t let the small size for you, the portions were tremendous and the value is even better .. it was delicious
Got stuck in LA, needed Covid test. Went to Total Testing around the corner, was famished, hadn't eaten in 24 hours. Found this spot on way to test site. The tacos rocked, cooked perfectly, just enough tang and cilantro. Good prices to. Highly recommend.
We have tried their caldo that come with rice, cebolla and cilantro AND tortillas hechas a Mano. So good! Their breaded chicken plate with rice and beans come with potatoes and it is so good. 🔥 they can also are something off the menu. Cash only though
My oldest brother who teaches at Roosevelt H.S., recommended this place, so I had to check it out....I had the Chicken Fajita Combination plate (included beans, rice and handmade corn tortillas)...so DELICIOUS, it definitely has that home-cooked taste, prices are EXCELLENT
Love the Plaza and the tacos! This is the spot! Just a man from Texas wondering around and I decided to try this spot. Boyle Heights you have a gem! Keep supporting these majestical tacos! Love the tacos de cabeza y la salsa verde!

I was looking for some bomb tacos and burritos. Firstly the service was amazing. The cool guy made everything the way I like it. I ordered 2 steaks and 1 chicken tacos and 1 streak burrito. The portions were up above normal. So the taste of the food was really good. The tacos were really good but I’ve had better. Now that burrito was Fire. Like I was mad I didn’t order another one. Now that what I’m talking about that burrito was bomb. It would definitely be 5 stars if my tacos tasted like that burrito. I would definitely try again. If your in the area you should definitely try. The presentation of the food is great quality. If you would like to invite me back please contact me.
I was recently serenaded by Mariachis while chowing down on some exquisite Home Cooked Mexican Food at Santa Cecilia Restaurant at Mariachi Square.. this is a small restaurant that seats 8 people indoors and 8 outside.. the Chile Verde is outstanding and 3 Tacos and a soda for only a few dollars
I was finally around the area & ordered 4 tripas doraditas (crunchy intestines) tacos & 4 tongue to go. I was not expecting the large tortillas & homemade! tripas were my fav & it's a different kind of crunch & definitely not like the extra fried I have eaten elsewhere.
real Mexican food, cozy, variety of plates and not to expensive
