El Amigo★★★★★Great spot for takeout Mexican food. I particularly like their Chile Relleno. Dine-in, limited parking.
El Tarasco★★★★☆Small local Mexican fast food chain in the South Bay area. Great for takeout. Lots of outdoor seating at Artesia and Hermosa locations.
The Empanada Shop★★★★★Great selection of both meat and veggie fillings, plus desserts (the chocolate one is intense).
King Mediterrano★★★★★Mediterranean/Mexican fusion, right at the 3-way border between Torrance, Lawndale and Redondo Beach. You can get a wrap with shawarma or falafel at a lot of places, but where else can you get a shawarma burrito with mozzarella, jalapeños and chipotle sauce?
