Lynwood, CA - Great Mexican Food! 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( Aug 04, 2010) I visited the city of Lynwood, CA in the summer of 2009, it was quite a change coming from Chicago, Illinois. My mother is originally from Lynwood California, therefore I have family members that are able to take me all over the city and I had quite a blast exploring Lynwood.

I ...Read More would highly reccommend that anyone who is a Mexican food lover, try the food at La Casita Restaraunt on Gage St. The food was out of this world. I think it it is by far the best Mexican food I have ever eaten. I was in Lynwood for 3 days and I ate at La Casita on two different ocassions.

The thing that I truly enjoyed the most about Lynwood is the skate park. I am a skater and have skated at numerous skate parks across the country, but this one was by far one of the best. My cousin and i spent 5 hours at the park on my very first day in Lynwood. The skaters were very friendly and made me feel very welcome and comfortable. I would highly recommend Lynwood to anyone who is visiting the state of California. Read Less
