Our Story
A Westwood Original
Since 1987
Nearly 40 years of serving Westwood. Flame grilled, fresh ingredients, and a commitment to quality that hasn't changed.
Westwood Blvd,
Est. 1987
Eduardo's Border Grill opened its doors on Westwood Blvd in 1987 — tucked inside a mini-mall at the corner of Westwood and Santa Monica, right in the heart of one of LA's most beloved neighborhoods.
The formula was simple and brilliant: use the freshest ingredients, cook everything on an open flame in full view of the customer, and never, ever cut corners. Just real, honest Southwestern-style Mexican food.
Founder Eddie Greenwald spent over 38 years perfecting this formula, bringing authentic Mexican food to west LA, and building an extremely loyal following.
In 2025, the Cofax team stepped in to carry Eduardo's legacy forward.
