They don’t get much hotter than this Latina lady and the paparazzi at LAX Airport got a lensful of Eva Mendes as she made her way to the terminal.

And the “We Own the Night” babe was all decked out in a loose-fitting flowy shirt, retro jeans and some seriously fun oversized sunglasses.

Given her relatively quick rise to fame, Eva says she’s stepping back and enjoying the life that her hard work has afforded her.

She told press, "I'm actually taking advantage of my time off. You know, I had a film that was pushed, so I'm home spending time with my family, going to the gym and actually enjoying taking care of myself.

“This year has been great for me because I've learned how to relax. The last three years have been amazing but kind of crazy. So I don't know, I feel grounded. I feel really good."
