Rocio's Mexican Kitchen is a small neighborhood Mexican restaurant on Garfield Avenue in Bell Gardens, known for its moles and chile relleno.

Overview

Rocio's Mexican Kitchen is at 7891 Garfield Avenue in Bell Gardens, in southeast Los Angeles County; The Infatuation files it under nearby Bell. Its January 2022 review describes a small restaurant that first-time visitors often drive past without noticing, and calls it a true neighborhood place, best suited to lunch.

The review steers diners to the moles, with the mole poblano as the writer's favorite, and to the chile relleno, which it praises at length. A spicy chicken soup is suggested for cold days.

Mole poblano, a dark sauce of dried chiles, spices, nuts and chocolate, is associated with Puebla, and moles are also used as a filling for tacos and enchiladas in many Mexican kitchens. Bell Gardens and neighboring Bell, Cudahy and South Gate have one of the densest concentrations of Mexican restaurants in the Los Angeles area. The source consulted gives no founding date or owner names.
