Cacao Mexicatessen is one of my favorite restaurants! The food is super delicious. The horchata, by far, is my absolute favorite horchata I have tried from various other restaurants. Highly recommended!

This is one of the best mexican restaurant I have ever been to. Avacado burrito is one of my favourite one.

Yum, this place is great. Good food selection and fun coffee drinks. Lots of different vegetarian tacos available. You won't be disappointed.

Duck tacos FTW!! Lime/cucumber drink is sooo refreshing. The chicharron consuelo taco is also really good!

This place had good reviews so we decided to try. It was during Happy Hour on Tuesday and Taco was only $1.65 each. I ordered three different tacos and they were good. They asked us whether we want salsa and chips for $2.25, which I thought a bit expensive.
The service was nice and the ambiance was good but I would rather go to my usual hole in the wall Mexican place for tacos and burritos for cheaper price.

Excellent inside and out... This is a great little spot for lunch close to Glendale and Pasadena. Food is excellent for both meat eaters and vegetarian (and a little menu hacking will get you vegan). The squash blossom torta was excellent, as was my lunch partner's fish taco. You'll also find Mexican sodas. For nice warm days, there's seating outside. Staff is unassuming and competent. Prices are fine.

Pretty authentic mexican food. Great variety and lot of vegetarian options. Like some other reviews said, if they say its spicy, it really is. I love spicy food and I loved the tacos we tried there.
Veggie tacos (esp Aguacate fritos, corn truffle) were really good. We also loved tacos de papa -o- camote.
Besides the food, the place itself is nice and the service was good too.

Food is great, good vegetarian options and their Mexican hot chocolate drinks are yummy and served in a large ceramic mug.

Some of the best Mexican I've had in my 10 years in LA. You know how so many places say something's "spicy" and then it's so not? Cacao is *serious*. The Don Marcos taco is off the charts. I like to cry when I eat spicy, and even this I could only eat half.
The camarones taco is also a standout, as is the veggie plate. And get the Mexican hot chocolate!!

Right next to the trader joes on colorado, I missed this placed for a long time before a friend recommended.
It's not fancy, but the food is fantastic. Duck tacos. Filet Mignon Tacos. And plenty more to make you realize mexican food is a whole lot more than ground beef and refried beans.
Check it out...

There's a lot of competition for best Mexican food in this part of town, but CaCao Mexicatessen has quickly won its place as my favorite Mexican restaurant.
The food is fresh, delicious, authentic and with two daily specials, there's a lot of variety. This place is also a rare haven for vegetarian Mexican food lovers. They have four kinds of veggie tacos, and last time I was there, both lunch specials were also vegetarian. Not to mention wonderful.
There are lots of great places to eat in Eagle Rock, but we keep coming back here. Only problem is, it's already too popular, so it can be busy at lunch time.
I can't wait to try their new breakfast items.
