Cacao Mexicatessen

Amazing food! The quality of the everything, the tortillas, proteins and sauces are terrific. Thetyre famous for the duck confit taco but the carne asada my favorite in all of LA.

Beautiful tacos, very high quality and interesting ingredients. Some of the combinations of flavors and sauces don't really work as well as others. Still awesome though.

Went here expecting delicious food, and it was a little bland for my taste. Presentation was awesome, food looked really good, then the bland taste came rushing in. Needs to be more spicy. It is Mexican food after all.

There mole and pozole are very good and the beer selection is good. Come to try out a different beer or have one of the moles.

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.

Never ceases to amaze me!, The best spot in North East Los Angeles hands down!😉😎

Came here for breakfast with a friend on a Sunday morning. Nothing on the breakfast menu is vegan originally but can be made so by removing dairy/meat from the regular menu items. Per recommendation of the employee taking my order, I got chilaquiles - elected to get then with mushrooms & spinach and the mole sauce, they come with potatoes and beans on the side and I also got guacamole. My friend got the breakfast burrito and it was HUGE! This is a very self serve kind of spot - you order inside and get a number, your food is brought to your table. Water, coffee, and even to-go boxes are available inside to grab whenever you need. The outside seating is limited but it's not busy first thing in the morning - we got a nice spot outside to enjoy the crisp morning air. The service vari d by the person. The food was excellent! I would certainly eat here again (I hear the lunch/dinner menu is great, plus there are vegan options called out on that menu!).

Well worth the drive. The chips and guacamole were some of the best I've ever had. I will definitely be back.

When you are looking for real soul satisfying food this is the place to go! Great Agua Frescas, Mole that will make your mouth water just thinking of it & a variety of dishes that you won't find anywhere else local.

One of my new favorite places after wanting to try for a long time. Glad I finally did! Delicious food and excellent service with a great atmosphere. Prices are decent to good. Looks like they have a great happy hour too.

My current favorite taco spot with fresh corn pressed tortillas and shredded duck!

Super yummy, very authentic Mexican cuisine. Reasonably priced 👍🏼

The restaurant is very small but charming. The staff is very authentic (Italian) and very knowledgeable.

Tasty tacos. I recommend just getting one of each and going from there. Also don't forget the tres leches cupcake! Worth every penny!

We love going out. Yesterday we found this delicious restaurant which friends recommended to us. We enjoyed a lovely evening there with superb cooking and a professional crew and an impressive cook. We put this restaurant in our list and we will surely go again soon. Highly recommended.

Consistently great food and friendly service. The tortillas are impeccable. Weekday lunch special is a great value given the high-quality food this kitchen turns out. And the horchata itself is worth the trip.

My new favorite Mexican place in this area. Their green and regular moles are awesome. Great drinks too.

We've been going since they opened. Always awesome food, friendly and helpful staff and good vibe ambiance.

Best tacos around, and it it's always busy. There is no sit down service so you have to line up to order and then find a table. On busy nights, you may wait in line for 30 mins or so - but the food is definitely worth the wait. An Eagle Rock institution. Good beer selection too.

Popular place with good food. Prices a bit elevated but not terrible. Enjoyed the funky vibe. Will return to try more dishes.

The enchiladas are all always amazing the tacos are incredible too.. you can't go wrong with anything on the menu!

So delicious!! I got the ceviche and the blue corn chips that come with it are hella warm! I love it. Such a wonderful contrast to the dish. I cleaned my plate on this one. Especially that juice! It was great

Great neighborhood place. Homemade tortillas. Imaginative tacos. Authentic.

This was first time there. Went with a group of friends, 7 total. Was able to get accommodated. We ordered a little bit of everything! Mole fries, ceviche, guac with chips, elote- just had to cut it off the cob to share! All authentic taste. Also had a good selection of alcoholic drinks.

Always a great place! Unique Mexican flavors that are quite addicting. Mole fries are a must, and they even have some great vegan and vegetarian dishes.

Love this place, the mole is delicious! Also have loved the tacos and everything else. On the weekends there’s fabulous breakfast till 1. There’s parking behind it, turn into the tiny alley.

The chips and salsa were a great portion size...a lot for 1, enough for sharing. Good salsa flavors as well. The tacos were also delicious. I actually went to this location because it was listed for best hot chocolate, and it was good, but I would've preferred it without the almond slivers.

Possibly the best Mexican I've had.

All who worked there could not have been nicer. Overall good quality and the price was right.

Real Los Angeles food! We had tacos-beef, chicken and tongue! I like how the food is being cooked in front of the customers and the organization of the service seems to work well. You order and by the time you pay, the food is ready. The meat is flavorful and the salsa station offers a variety of sauces. Warning: food can be spicy, be careful!

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 prefer first then grab a table.

Breakfast, lunch or dinner, everything on the menu is delicious! Full bar, great cocktails and half dozen taps. Chilaquiles are a favorite

I loved how unassuming this place was; very laid back and no frills. Menu is short and sweet; they have the standard fish and shrimp tacos and some drinks. When I went, they also had potato tacos and taquitos.

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.

Carne asada burrito was extremely tatsty

This is my current favorite restaurant. I usually am here once a week. Everything I have tried here is great! Especially recommend their red salsa! It’s so good we always take some home!

This place is really freaking good. The line is worth it.

Pozole is the best! Zesty, flavorful and great portion size

This place has probably the best michelada I've ever had. The food is also delicious, and I really enjoy coming here for a drink during my day

Great people, incredible food, and quick service. Get chips & and salsa and one of every taco

Really good food... can't go wrong choosing this place for a bite to eat.

Excellent! Delicious! Tasty! Every bite, from appetizers to dinner and our drinks, just fabulous.Shout out to the bar tender, Nino. Awesomeness on the drinks. Cadillac Margarita fresh and perfect.Guacamole and Chips - good start to the evening accompanies by Margaritas and IPA craft beers.Chips are special corn and salted to perfection.Fish tacos and carne asada plates arrived hot and sweating off steam. Hot meals are he best.Carne Asada juicy with a mesquite taste. Tasted like a good cut of meat.Fish tacos a rainbow of flavors.Beans and rice super yummy!Cheers! Touche and loved the experience.

This is an awesome little Mexican restaurant in eagle Rock. They serve drinks and awesome food. You have time order at the front counter and chips and salsa are extra. They have a small parking lot behind the place with more obvious choices being on the streets. Try any if their mole dishes.

In a city with great Mexican food, this place reigns supreme. Its menu offerings, let alone the flavors, leave it second to none. Absolutely no one comes close to this Mexicatessen concept.

It's pricey, but what's there not to love? My kid loves the hot chocolate and always orders the omelette for breakfast with her abuello. I go for the chiliquiles if we are there for breakfast. Otherwise the duck tacos are a favorite, as well as the guacamole, chips, salsa, steak, veggies, horchata, etc....Basically it's all good.

Can't decide if the duck carnitas or the crispy shrimp tacos were better. But for sure both were yummy! Grab a seat at the bar and have a conversation with your knowledgeable hosts.

Good food but pricey... Employees not very helpful since it was my first time there. They charge for EVERYTHING! I gave it four stars because of the quality of the food and uniqueness of the food.
