Review Cacao Mexicatessen - Los Angeles

Juan Diego
Absolutely excellent Mexican place in Eagle Rock. The staff is super friendly and the food is authentic and delicious. They have amazing margaritas and the chips are crunchy and unique. The wait can get a bit long on weekends so plan to wait about 20-40 mins depending on your party size. The inside is cozy and they have a great, lively atmosphere.

Incredible mole! I definitely recommend bringing an appetite… the burrito I ordered was massive. The chips and salsa are unlimited and had some great heat. The servers were friendly and checked in a lot which was good because I needed lots of water for the amazing salsa!

Good happy hour. Inside has a nice cantina style bar area with a few TVs. Highlights of the happy hour are the $4 beers, $9 margaritas and good specials. Food is pretty good. Loved the nachos. Service good. There's street parking but you might have to walk a block or two.

This is literally the best restaurant ever. I don’t even want to tell people that so it doesn’t end of being so popular I can’t get a table, but for real, it is flawless. Everything here is great, food, drinks, vibes, people. I wish I lived next door.

This is one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area! The space is small and quite loud at night, but the overall experience is great. The staff were also very friendly. We had the pinches nachos with the birria meat that was delicious, and then the Carne Asada quesadilla was also fantastic. Overall it was great and I hope to come back soon!

Super cute local restaurant! Love this place, the service is amazing and the food is delicious. I always come here with family, the ambiance and vibe is perfect. I always recommended the mole duck fries 10/10!

Short 15 minute wait for two people on Valentine’s Day 2023 at 6 pm. Waited outside under the heater. Picked our own table. Somehow we got stuck with a shorter-than-usual table? Seemed like it was an ADA height table near the restrooms. Quick service. Great food. Decent music. Street parking.

Absolutely a favorite for a date night! We love the cocktails and the immense flavors in all the dishes. For vegetarians I recommend the chorizo cauliflower (spicy!) but there are lots of other options, too. The chicken mole enchiladas are a favorite for omnivores. The salsas are unique and it’s worth getting the chips and salsa.

Masterful street Tacos I was in the local area and remembered coming here awhile back with friends and enjoying it. So I returned back to dive into the menu further. I decided to go with some street tacos off their menu to see if they could actually compete with street tacos In Los Angeles, because LA has quite the street taco scene. Wonderful selection of street tacos were available, I decided to go with 3 as follows: Chicken (with mole added, yum!) Duck Carnitas And of course the ol AL Pastor (with caramelized pineapple on top!) These tacos were fantastic. The ingredients were of high and fresh quality, the handmade blue corn tortillas, the masterfully cooked meats, and the combination of fresh and thoughtful flavor combinations all mixed together was perfection and is what tacos are all about to me. In addition to the quality food, I was met with quality service for dine in. I was asked multiple times by multiple staff if I needed anything. They even switched the TV station to TNT so I could watch the NBA playoffs when I asked if it was possible. Definitely come check out this restaurant if you have an opportunity. P.s. if planning a visit with people, do take into account phone service quality is a bit spotty In the restaurant.

Great food on the pricey side but you are getting great quality and service so it’s worth iiit. Came here after church with my sister on a Sunday afternoon right before the crowd started trickling I’m. I got the pozole and my sister got the enchiladas with red sauce. Both were amazing. I will say the meat in the pozole wasn’t as tender as I’m used to but it was still bomb nonetheless. We also got there chips, salsa and guacamole which were fire. Their salsa’s have great flavor and their chips are seasoned, do I need to say anything else. Definitely give this spot a try they are a gem in Eagle Rock.

Great food the asada and duck carnitas were amazing I definitely recommend try this please. You order in line before you seat but they'll find a table for you so no pressure. The shrimp tacos were on the spicier side but tasted great. Staff friendly small space so larger groups of 6 or more get a little tricky to accommodate. Street parking only but didn't have any trouble. Service was good. I would definitely go back.

Looooove this place! I got a duck 2 ways special taco in honor of Jonathan Gold's birthday and enchiladas with chicken and red sauce. Both were incredibly delicious even though I'm not a big fan of corn tortillas. We definitely recommend this place.

Duck tacos were delicious. Fish tacos were good. I also had the mole fries because they are popular but I don't really like mole so I cannot comment. Rosemary water was great and unique. Note that you order first then grab a table.

Legit my favorite place to eat at! I have a Gluten allergy and the staff ALWAYS let me know what is GF and what isn’t. Duck tacos are AMAZING and the margarita flight is a MUST when I go. I always recommend CaCao to everyone.
Taylor Ruiz
10/10 best Mexican food ever ! Wish there was more vegan options but it’s delightful
Jennifer Cleary
Great happy hour! Where else can you get a shot of Jameson for $5 (not that I partook)?? I did try the margarita flight and the burger. The presentation is great! Look how pretty!!
Cory Pratt
Truly gourmet taqueria items make this place an absolute must eat taco spot in Eagle Rock. Easily the best tacos I've found in the LA Metropolitan area. Burrito versions of their tacos are ENORMOUS and they locally source nearly everything on their menu. Taco heaven.
Terri Smith
This place serves some of the best sit down Mexican food in LA. The staff is always friendly, the food always delicious. We recently ordered the street tacos with carnitas, the chili relleno with mushrooms on mole verde and the caramel flan. It was awesome as always.
Mike Alietti
Excited that the enchiladas made with homemade corn tortillas would be legit. They weren’t. Unfortunately the retried beans and Mexican rice lacked flavor. Rice was dry. Price point for this execution is way off. Their sangria de casa was only bright spot.
Aileen May Steen Nepomuceno-Hoffman
The food was great and the atmosphere and service was top notch. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because they got my order wrong. And since it was too late to change it I ate is as is. Other than that, we would definitely go back and recommend it to everyone.

Very good food and drinks. The koreano burrito is very delicious and duck taco are tasty.
Diana Van de Kamp
My favorite Mexican food in all of LA. They have lots of delicious vegetarian options, as well as food for carnivores. My personal favorites are the mole fries and potato tacos.The cafe de olla in the morning is the most perfect welcome to your day that you can drink. And in the afternoon, Edward makes the best Sangria. Great Happy hour specials!
Erik Smith
Very unique menu with a twist on the mexican food you are use to with selections you won't find anywhere else. The food is excellent!
Hector Valtierra
