La Capilla Mexican Restaurant

We ate outside. It was fine, but it was a temporary setup for COVID so it was in the street. There was a tent that covered the street side, so that was nice. We still has pretty good service, and a waitstaff came by every so often. The carnitas burrito had nothing in it except meat. (No rice, beans, lettuce, tomato, anything.) The carnitas itself tasted great, and was very tender. But I wouldn't say it's really a burrito if the only ingredients are meat and tortilla. But if you're a meat lover, this "burrito" is for you. And it was still tasty the next day (it was way too much to eat in one sitting). The tacos (I can't remember which meat I got) were nothing to write home about. The hard shell broke in half upon first bite, and it was easier to just eat it with a fork. The cheese and lettuce spilled out (I couldn't even see where one taco ended and the other began) and it was not a handheld food by any nature. Mediocre and certainly not legit Mexican tacos. The beans in the combo that I ordered were good. But let's talk about the rice. It was honestly the worst Spanish rice I have ever eaten in my life. It did not remotely taste like tomato - it actually tasted like plastic a bit. The rice was soggy. There was no flavor. I didn't think I was picky with my Spanish rice. I would've been happier with just plain white rice. I've made better Spanish rice at home. Fast food Spanish rice is leagues better. Do not order this rice. I don't know if they add the rice to other dishes, but it probably ruins any dish it goes in. 0/10 The complimentary chips tasted more like store-bought chips to me. Too salty. The person I went with to La Capilla thought they were delicious because he loves salt. I think they were fresh, though. The salsa was good, no complaints. Essentially, if you want real Mexican food, don't come here. I was not satisfied with their food. The Halloween decorations were really cute, though, and their service and food presentation was good.

This restaurant makes you come back for more. Save your pennies because the prices have gone up a little but the food is still enjoyable. Our server was so sweet and she didn't miss a beat tending to our requests. I have to say that she was on her job because I took a friend who is very hard to please and not only did he have a good time, he loved that wet burrito he ordered! The ambiance is welcoming. It feels like you've been invited to a good friend's house for dinner. Very well done. I like taking friends to places are like LA Capilla because they always go back taking others. Take someone you enjoy and have a good time!

Great place to have lunch or dinner. My parents have been coming here since the 1980s and we grew up eating here often. The tortilla soup has to be the best I've ever had. The margaritas are always made well and my favorite entree is the Burrito Verde. I will continue to bring my family here as long as they're open.

Food is just ok. I had their chicken mole with rice, beans and salad and yons of sour cream. Mole was too watered down and didn't taste like anything, there was not enough chicken and the entire plate was mainly beans and rice, also salad- there was hardly any just a glob of sour cream for low low price of 18. Nor worth it. Chips were good but salsa could be better.

Ate here for the first time today with my wife. The food & margaritas🍹 were great! Our server was amazing. She was very customer service oriented. She was attentive, friendly, and provided us with exceptional service. If you're ever in the Torrance area, I highly recommend you to consider visiting La Capilla Mexican Restaurant.

I love this place ❤ I've been going here since I was a little girl since 1990. I love there cooking, my favorite is their Tortillas Soup. I remember we would go at least 2 to 3 times a week growing up i celebrate all my birthday their from the age 5 until the age 35. I have every picture there for my birthdays This place will always be my favorite restaurant.
