Homestyle dishes served by friendly staff. My favorite is the combination of a chile relleno and a cheese enchilada served with rice and beans.
It is delicious. I been going there since I was 16 years old. I've taken coworkers who have loved it. It has memories and still Great after all these years. The best chilli rellenos. And the beans yum. �
The best mexican food in LA. Chile relleno, milanesa, champurrado, enchiladas de verde, huevos ranchero. Amazing. Great prices in a family run business.
A complete hole in a wall restaurant but don't be fooled this little gem has some if not the best chile relleno and can't go wrong with the price food is amazing and great atmosphere love this place highly recommended
Best true Mexican food. I drive from Arcadia to get the best chile rellenos I've ever had. Their burritos are also amazing. The don't serve chips and salsa because the food is that good.
The jewel of NELA. Steak picado plate and enchiladas verdes are the stuff of legend.
Been eating there for 30 years. Feels like home and food is awesome.
Visiting from Fresno and were invited to dine here with our familia! Must say I loved this place! Great food and good people!
Great food bomb steak picado burritos

At La Abeja, you will find a place much unchanged since its founding in 1969. There is still the old candy counter up front and one of the oldest counting machines I've seen in a long time. The booths and tables feel like originals. There's also a strong affinity for the Three Stooges as evidenced by paintings and other assorted memorabilia, which I didn't venture to ask about.
One of those old hole in the wall neighborhood restaurants growing up when it was cash only. A family ran joint where the food is still great to this day. In my opinion, it is one of the best places for hard shell shreaded beef tacos. Highly recommend.
Hands down the best in every single way. You’ll have to come to experience it. Places like this make me not want to leave LA!
This place is owned operated by my grandpa and grandma, well not actually mine but someone's great grandparents no doubt. They are really friendly and the comfort that comes over you when you order, you can tell by the enthusiasm yet humbleness from El Don (the owner) that you are about to be treated like family just for stopping by for some food...just like when you visit the abuelos.
The steak picado and The chile verde burritos are 🤌🤌🔥🔥🔥 not mention they don't cost and arm or a leg 👌.
Whatever you order its all good, those were my picks for a quick bite UNDER $10,
Everything taste amazing and offers most of what you ate as a kid that actually taste like Mom was in the kitchen...even menudo but thats only on weekends.
LOS ANGELES LANDMARK!
Parking is a bit thin but its totally worth the flavor, taste and service!!!
This is my local joint for Mexican-American fare. They don't offer chicken, fish, buche, cabeza or alcohol. They are super friendly, and have great burritos, enchiladas, rellenos and beans. The beans are great because they are home made with 'love', AKA manteca. Don't expect tiny limp tacos, which I hate anyway. Theirs are big and hard, (or soft if you ask.) street parking is usually available.
Nice place with cozy atmosphere. Older building but kept neat and most of the customers seem like regulars. Good selection of Mexican food breakfast items and side orders available if meat to add. Reliable cup of coffee. Worth a stop.
My son just moved into the neighborhood and we tried La Abeja for a quick dinner. A steady stream of local customers which is always a great sign of quality! Nothing fancy but delicious food. We ordered the vegetarian and pork w/green sauce burritos. Customer service was friendly and Poncho is a rock star.
Such a great find for our family after visiting Heritage Square Museum. Nothing fancy, but delicious Mexican food. Our server, Pancho I think, was very friendly and explained the menu options to us. We will definitely return.

My family has been coming here for 30+ years. I love that they remember you, they take care of you and always happy to see you. The food always taste great and the service is awesome.
Historic joint, great down to earth server. Decent food, fried pork and rice were better than refried beans, at reasonable price, but limited options (no chicken or seafood). No need to change atmosphere, but place could use a little freshening up.
This is a bare bones place that serves you a flavorful authentic meal.
The sheriff's department and PD frequent this restaurant because it's that good!!!
Pricing is competitive and worth every cent for the delicious meal that you will enjoy.
Parking may be challenging at peak times. You'll appreciate a walk after your meal.
Its great to see so many reviews from other folks who like me have been coming here for decades (39 years). As a Los Angeles native in my 60's, I cherish places like La Abeja because they are among the few constants remaining in an ever changing city. I've known 3 generations of Roy's family over the years. Unfortunately I'm kind of stuck on the huevos rancheros and can rarely bring myself to order something different. The home made chili sauce in the little jar on every table is heaven. Hey, the place isn't fancy or hip but an old fashioned homey neighborhood restaurant that satisfies every time. I'm so happy I've been able to enjoy this place, the people and the food for most of my life.
the place is cute, the service was top-notch, and I love the wood paneling and also the burritos
Fantastic carnitas breakfast burrito. Pork was so tender plus a chili pepper in there.
If you want real authentic Mexican food this is the place 3700 North Figueroa Street you must try the steak picado dinner and ask for their homemade green salsa I drink it like if it was soup....lol.. it's a very old school place you can tell by the pics I've been coming here over 17 years now WoW RIGHT it deserves like over 10 Stars there's only room for 5 here!!
This is a wonderful small mom and pop shop. 2nd time here. Ordered the Menudo, Steak Picado, Tacos Dorados, Torta de Carne Asada. Every thing was delicious. My family loved it ❤️
I enjoy the food at abacus because it's so delicious and the beans are excellent
