“If you want a Peruvian food experience, dine at Bodegon No 69 In Old Town Pasadena. We were able to dine indoors without a reservation (short wait). We were seated in their private dining area as tables indoors were full. For starters, we got the jalea mixta and empanadas (beef and chicken). If you like deep fried seafood, get the jalea mixta. Their empanadas was crispy, stuffed with fillings of choice. For ceviches, get the ceviche B69, which includes a variety of seafood. For entrees, I recommend the arroz con mariscos (seafood paella) and lomo saltado. Both are popular dishes and very flavorful. They give a generous amount of seafood. Drinks were okay, I wasn't impressed with the presentation or taste. Service was friendly. Just took long for food to come out in between meals. Overall, lively atmosphere and authentic Peruvian food!“
“Please note Yelp's listed business hours is incorrect, the correct hours of the Restaurant are. Mon - Thur 8:00AM - 2:00PM Fri - 8:00AM - 3:00PM Sat - Sun - 7:00AM - 3:00PM Have I found a hidden gem? I've driven up and down Orange Grove Blvd HUNDRADS of times and never knew Mendez Restaurant was there until today, it was a HOT day and I was thirsty so I saw "Super Liquor" and decided to stop in and grab some water, what do I find inside of this Liquor store tucked away in a back corner.... Mendez Restaurant. Restaurant might be a stretch they have two tables and a few chairs, but a pretty decent menu including Barbacoa de Borrego! I ordered food to go. Tacos ($2.25) Asada Nice lean and tender beef, but lacking in flavor, it was most likely cooked on a flat-top grill and not well seasoned, corn tortillas fresh but out of a bag. 3-Stars Al Pastor Another taco that was just ok, not bad just not the bold flavor you should have with al pastor. 3.5-Stars Torta Barbacoa de Borrego ($9.00) Look at the size of that Telera roll, not only is it big, it's soft and fresh, filled with plenty of Barbacoa de Borrego "Lamb" Beans, Lettuce, Tomato, Jalapenos fantastic torta. 5-Stars“

“This was my first Michelin star restaurant that I have experienced that I heard about from Tik Tok. It lived up to the hype. I recommend going early or after lunch as it packed during lunch time. The line is out the door. The food is delicious and I would recommend to any seafood lover. The prices are reasonable and you get a lot of food in each dish. If you are the the downtown area it definitely a must try. It right next door to the DMV so it not a lot of parking so you have to drive around to a spot open up if you go during lunch time. It is loud in there as it is a food hall with about 6 other restaurants in the same building. It is still a good experience and worth giving a try.“

“Horchata was bomb. Tacos are small usually its two tortillas and spill-over meat makes a second. Tortillas were somewhat undercooked. Other than being small gourmet playhouse looking portions it was good. It was more once in a lifetime kinda meal not beefy hearty get full go to work filling kinda meal. Its more like a Go alone buy a second round of the sampler kind of meal. Its pricey but worth it.Parking: Dont wear plaid or red or blue. There was a face tattoo guy leaving the parking lot.“

“Nice Mexican restaurant in the Los Feliz neighborhood in LA. The restaurant had great ambiance and attentive service. We had an assortment of vegan and vegetarian sides, including flautas (made vegan), beans, rice, and fingerling potatoes. The dessert options included vegan sorbets and vegetarian churros.Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options with a clearly labeled menu. Many of the Vegetarian items can be made vegan.“

“I grew up in Arcadia so I was raised going to Taco Treat. This place must be doing something right, as it is probably the longest surviving business and most all of the area, or at least that I know of and I am 67 years old. Great burgers, love their corn dogs and fried burritos. Always good food“

“Food is amazing, fresh and looks incredible. It will get pricy to get full so be prepared to order more than you think. Service was also wonderful. Our only complaint was the epic volume level of the restaurant. Something with the acoustics but we were pretty much forced to shout at each other to be heard. Also outdoor dining didn’t look appealing being right on Hyperion with a ton of traffic in your face.“

“This is probably the highest-rated restaurant I've ever seen on Google Maps, and after having breakfast here it is easy to see why. The atmosphere is so casual and welcoming, the service is fantastic and warm, and the food is so, so good!You HAVE to eat here at least once, this is the kind of place you see in movies, the "spot" the protagonist knows. An absolute gem!Dietary restrictions: I am currently on the border of pre-diabetes, so I can't eat rice or tortillas. This restaurant does offer these things if you like (and I SO wanted them) but the majority of food available was packed with protein and fat, and there was a healthy salad to put on the side. Genuinely one of the best selections I could hope for.“

“Amazing Mexican food. The home made tortillas were so good and the Mexican brown rice was such an awesome brown rice prep. Great service, nice people.We missed a couple items on our takeout order and the restaurant promptly refunded us. Really appreciated the help with that one.“
“This is my first time trying Korean-Latin cuisine, which is so delicious! The owner suggested ordering the kalbi cheese fries which I'm glad that I ordered it! I got the rock combination plate and double cheeseburger as well! They have a self serve salad bar near the front which is convenient! The staff here so very friendly and it was a little empty at that time we came in so they were able to help us out! I loved how they put the posters around the store!“

“Wanted to try a new breakfast spot this morning and this place came up on Yelp. I ordered a pork belly breakfast burrito, a pour over, and a fudge chocolate brownie. Pork Belly Burrito: Welcome to flavor town! The eggs are light, cheesy and well seasoned. The eggs take center stage but they also help bring all other ingredients to the spotlight. The pork belly was soft and its fat rendered well into the rest of the burrito. The pork belly didn't make the burrito greasy, which I loved. The tortilla was also soft and fresh tasting--I think they might be making their own tortillas in house. It came with a green salsa that was punchy but not too spicy. The only con in my opinion is the size of the burrito. I only count that as a con because I'm a big dude, with a big appetite. However, I would definitely buy this burrito again since all of the ingredients are of quality and very delicious. It's a 4/5 stars for me. Pour over: The pour over they had today is from Peru. The barrista did a really good job of controlling the water temp so I was able to taste all of the notes in the coffee. I noticed the flavor of berries with a chocolate after taste. Flavor is not overly bold with a nice creamy body. Shout out the barrista! 5/5 stars I love me some good coffee. Fudge Chocolate Brownie: The brownie was good but I wouldn't get it again. It's a heavier brownie--I like a more cakey type brownie. This brownie was dense, hence the "fudge" in its name. It leans towards a dark chocolate flavor profile with a bit of sweetness to counter the bitterness. You have to be a big chocolate lover to have this. However, they did have other pastries so they have choices for you. 2/5 stars for me. They have a cool little brick and mortar shop on Cesar Chavez that has a couple of tables for you to enjoy your food or grab and go. Overall I give this place a 4/5 stars and would definitely recommend trying them out. (Plus you get to support a small business!)“

“If you are a vegetarian or have dietary restrictions this is the place you are looking for. The menu is full of veggie options and let's not forget about their 1L homemade juices and smoothies.Tree house restaurant with a huge tree in the front, that has birds talking and singing all evening.“

“A conglomerate of Guatemalan street food vendors located at the intersection of Bonnie Brae & 6th St. after 5pm. Parking will be the toughest thing to find but you may be able to test your luck at the Rite Aid/Food 4 Less plaza nearby.The food is pretty cheap but absolutely delicious! Pricing along all the vendors seem to be similar for the same type of foods and being able to speak Spanish is a big plusRecommend:- Garnachas (mini potato tamales)- Pollo y papa's fritas (fried chicken & fries)- Churrasco (grilled meats - notably the longaniza)Note: There is a lot of grilling & frying going on, so be prepared to have your clothes smelling like smoke after you leave.“

“One of the best coffee shops in LA. Cafecito cubano con leche is one of the best I’ve tried so far. It’s strong as well as smooth at the same time. And tres leches muffin was just delicious. Highly recommend coffee aficionados to check out and try this “

“Good pozole. This is that homemade pozole that I had been wanting for a while. My friend brought me here. She said this place has been around for a very long time. I was surprised that I never noticed it. I wasn't a big fan of their tostadas. They seemed too stale. Apparently, they make them there but I can't say for sure. Either way... I still prefer tostadas from a bag. Place also looks a lil run down but that's not a big deal (to me). They could probably clean it up a little better but overall, I was satisfied with their food This place is at the very corner of a little plaza next to a laundry mat, liquor store and smoke shop.“

“I just finished a review of San Laurel and wanted to do A shout out to this gem of a Bar. I will only be reviewing the bar at this point because I have not eaten here yet, as I said I just reviewed San Laurel because that's where we had just come from haven eaten most of their menu, we had fully intended on leaving. We stood at the elevator glancing to our left we noticed the bar at Agua Viva and decided we should take a look at it. Before we got there we were intercepted by a manager who couldn't have been more wonderful and helpful showing us around and telling us about the spot then offering perhaps a seat at the bar for which we gladly accepted. The bartenders again were perfect and accommodating. The drinks were all wonderful trying more then we should have but it was our anniversary and we did Uber there so believe me we paid for it the next day but we ended meeting most of the staff and talked to everyone, each person nicer then the next. Its a pleasure to have gone to both of these places on our special night, both places treated us like kings and I thank everybody we met and listened to us ramble on for hours. Thank you for making our day perfect I can't recommend San Laurel and Agua Viva enough!“
“Newer cocktail spot across from low boy and the others on sunset. I walked in and said wow this looks just like the old Bar Calo vibes...turns out it's the same owner! The bartender Frank fired up some martinis and a dreamy boy...I came for one, and ended up having 3. They are dangerously good. Shaken with a ton of ice, you do NOT taste the alcohol. Super delicious and went down quick. Frank made me laugh and was too fun to deal with. Quite honestly ; this spot will blow up as one of the best cocktail spots within the mile radius...sorry, it's that good. I usually complain about prices but the vibe and taste were too good, it was worth every penny.“

“Who knew this unassuming little spot had brisket and didn't tell me?? For years I sort of ignored it as one of many taco stands in the area. I finally tried it the other day and was astounded at the menu. I thought Homestate was the only game in town for brisket tacos! Now we've got another excellent option. The brisket quesadilla is the banger--it's set up like two soft tacos lined with cheese and filled with brisket. The salads are great, as is the salsa selection. I'm not a huge salsa user...but the mango habanero salsa is amazing. Sure it's a bit pricier than other places, but the food quality is through the roof. The portions are also really good. This place is now in my regular rotation.“

“I love this little place. I come regularly for the revuelta pupusas. Not greasy. Other joints give me a bad belly. Not this one. The asada torta also hits the spot. The ladies who run it cook food that I imagine they would make for their own families!“

“Probably the best tamales that I have eaten in the last decade, filled really well with meat and the flavouring was also spot on and they were not dry like most of the other places. Definitely coming back here as long as the quality stays the same!“
“I've had the carne asada quesadilla and asada tacos which are amazing. This food truck provides your food with plenty of sauces and sides to compliment their flavorful meals. I frequent them often as they are conveniently located close to my home. I haven't tried their tortas or burritos but will be trying them soon :p“
“A friend of mine told me they have the best bionicos. I had to come verify Omg they do! #1 it was $8 for a small. Not happy about it. But definitely got what I paid for. Fresh fruit, good portions, filling and quality ingredients. I'm definitely coming back and referring friends. I highly recommend this place. It's a really small shop. You might miss it. Support local.“

“Fantastic customer service here. They are usually very attentive, pleasant, respectful, and expedient. I was able to request the freshly made corn tortillas with cilantro, which I recommend with the queso fundido and chorizo. Their tacos de Birria are legit!! I recommend you try those, above all else. My husband asked for a replacement for the fish and they were able to accommodate. The servers were quite helpful with my mom as she uses a walker. They are also bilingual, which is a plus.Pro tip: they have platanos fritos con crema and frijol (fried plantains with cream and beans). You just need to ask. I'm sorry I didn't take a pic. I will next time.“

“Delectable barbacoa w/ the hospitality of a family member serving in her home.Ordered beef barbacoa burritos which were tender and sumptuous. Hostess/cook also brought out her hearty consome, offering it on the house. This further enhanced the barbacoa odyssey. Hidden gem. It might be worth calling ahead as the meat offerings may vary by day (they had no chicken or tongue that afternoon). Since barbacoa is their jam, you can't go wrong w/lamb or beef.“
