“Amazing food and atmosphere“

“Beautiful and inviting space to dine and hang out. Very good food and cocktails in a warm and friendly atmosphere.“

“The food is absolutely delicious! We could eat here everyday. Best empanadas we’ve ever had. The service is amazing. Catherine and her family are super friendly and they clearly put so much love into their dishes.

A must have if you’re in the area looking for flavourful Mexican / Ecuadorean cuisine.

We will definitely come back here!“

“I was having such a grand old time at La Fe that I wanted to take a picture of my experience. I set my phone on a ledge, but my phone fell through a crack. La Fe’s STAR employee, Caleb, had to dismantle the freakin’ couch using power tools in order to retrieve my phone. It took so much work and time and I’m so grateful. Aside from the superb service, La Fe is such a perfect spot for a date or for chilling with friends because of the stylish and hip decor. I would def recommend!“

“When you walk into Guisados, the first thing that hits you isn't the menu; it's the smell of corn. Because right there behind the counter, they are patting out masa and throwing it onto a hot comal. These tortillas aren't just a vehicle for the meat—they are thick, pillowy, handmade, architectural marvels. They smell like grandma's kitchen, and they are sturdy enough to hold back a flood of heavy, rich stew without breaking a sweat.

If you’re smart, you don’t just order one or two. You get the Taco Sampler—a magnificent, six-mini-taco flight that lets you taste the full spectrum of what this kitchen can do.

The Heavy Hitters:
Cochinita Pibil: Shredded pork leg braised in sweet, earthy achiote, topped with fiery pickled red onions. It’s sweet, it’s sour, it’s deeply savory, and it is absolutely flawless.

Tinga de Pollo: Shredded chicken breast simmered with tomatoes, cabbage, and chipotle. It’s got a smoky, creeping heat that builds beautifully with every bite.

Chicharron: Pork rinds simmered in a spicy green tomatillo sauce until they achieve this incredible, gelatinous, melt-in-your-mouth texture. It’s texture-forward, unapologetic, and fiercely traditional.

The Pescado: For a break from the heavy meats, their grilled white fish served atop black beans with a vibrant cream sauce is an absolute masterclass in freshness.“

“Today the sauce it was sooooooo bad 👎 sooooo horrible sooooo nasty this sauce supposed be special sauce for the burritos 🌯 they did something different that test sooooo nasty 😤 please go back to the regular flavor or you better close down because it's horrible!!!!!!“

“Good tacos, good flavor, 1.50 tripa tacos. Don't have parking.“

“Taqueria y Restaurant Los Amigos is a great local spot that offers authentic, homemade-style Mexican and Latin American food. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with a comfortable neighborhood feel that makes you want to come back. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care, with generous portions and satisfying taste in every dish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient, creating a smooth and pleasant dining experience. I especially enjoyed the variety on the menu and the overall value for the price. It’s the kind of place that feels genuine and reliable for a good, hearty meal. I would definitely recommend Taqueria y Restaurant Los Amigos and will gladly return again.“

“I was in search of a good Chile Relleno Burrito and Google Maps suggested Calimex. I'm so glad it did! Easily one of the best I've ever had. The poblano chile was the star of the show. It was fresh and green, didn't taste heavily fried or buried underneath a ton of cheese. And the rice and beans packed a ton of flavor. Great flour tortilla too. It didn't look like the flour tortillas were homemade, but they were so fresh and delicious they could pass for homemade. Definitely a labor of love, the whole family is back there in the kitchen having a good time together and making incredible food. Will be back! Looked like a popular gathering spot for families and groups.“

“Had a great meal here before a show at the Paramount. My husband had fajitas and I had the potato dish with added rosemary potatoes 🤩. I couldn’t finish mine - very filling but absolutely delicious. The proprietor is welcoming and helpful. We will definitely return and I will make more sensible choices!“

“great drinks and food! nice fun and relaxing setting“

“Visited Sincerely Yours on Friday night with a few friends and had a great time! The atmosphere was grown and sexy, the doorman and staff were amazing, and I really appreciated the clean bathrooms. The music was on point, and the flow in and out of the bar was smooth. Highly recommend—definitely coming back soon!“

“They treated me very kindly and the food is very delicious. I ordered 2 plates of roast beef and a plate of roast chicken. They served it with beans, rice, chives, elbow or fresh salad and tortillas. We were very satisfied. For me, the price of the dish is good. .“

“I've been coming to El Buen Gusto ever since it was in Pico Rivera on Slauson. I moved down to Laguna Beach when I was 18 and had not been back since. I was up on the Whittier side of town and saw this place. A lot of memories resurfaced and decided to stop for old time sake.
Our hostess was very welcoming, warming, attentive and funny. However she didn't know what non-fat water and gluten free ice was. Nonetheless, I ordered the Chilaquiles. The presentation and taste of my meal was something similar to what my grandma or my mom would plate. I'm glad I stopped by, I don't make it up here to this side of town that often yet my next trip up here will definitely warrant stopping by for a quick meal.
For those who live close by you're extremely fortunate to have El Buen Gusto in your neighborhood.
As for location they are located at the southeast corner of Beverly and Norwalk Blvd's. It's not that far off the 605 frwy. If you're heading east on Beverly Blvd it's on the right just as you cross Norwalk. If you're directionally challenged, it's right next door to weeny-dog.
You can't go wrong with the comfort food of El Buen Gusto.
Tell them I sent you....“

“Chose to come here very last minute after learning a different Whittier favorite restaurant had closed. We were unaware of required reservations but the owner was extremely accommodating for us to which I was truly grateful. It was an extremely busy Friday as there was a large party. The cleanliness and vibe of the establishment was amazing. There was a live band playing which added more to the first experience. Drinks and presentation were great and then the food arrived and everything was chefs kiss!! Mole chips are great but the mole negro was some of the best I have ever had. Portions are enough to share if needed. To the owner - thank you for being so accommodating. Parking here is extremely limited in the back. Street parking is the best bet.“

“This place is very hole in the wall. It's located in the alley way between Wall Street and Maple Ave. The entrance is only located in the middle of the alley driveway. I can best describe the food as a mix of Mexican, Salvadorean. I'm biased, I always order their asada burrito and it has never been bad. Meat was flavorful, just the right amount of rice and beans, cilantro and onions. Their red sauce is spicy and goes well with the burrito. I've always ordered takeout, and never ate inside the restaurant. Service has always been quick for me, as you walk up to the counter inside, place your order and pay when it comes out. They are usually busy during the day as they serve all the locals around here. The delivery person is usually busy, coming in and out taking orders. The caldos seem to be popular here as well as the pupusas. The establishment seems to be a family owned and operated joint.

The prices are more than fair for the food you are getting. If I remember correctly, the burrito that I ordered is $13 and you get a LARGE burrito that is packed. You will get full off this burrito. I've been there a few times, and I definitely want to go back so I can try their other dishes and see if they are just as good. Give them a shot if you're in the area for a quick bite. I believe they're worth it.“

“Great hospitality and exceptional live music..

Outstanding hospitality from start to finish.

I wanted to recognize Evelyn at the front desk and Alonzo at Corteza Bar for delivering truly exceptional service. Evelyn is gracious, polished, welcoming, and made every interaction feel personal and effortless. She represents hospitality at its finest.

Alonzo was equally memorable — charismatic, professional, and outstanding at what he does. His recommendations were spot on, his attention to detail was impressive, and he created an experience that felt special.

Exceptional properties are built by exceptional people, and Evelyn and Alonzo are shining examples of that. Marriott International is fortunate to have them.“

“The truth is everything. Das has the best Mac n cheese and the Ribs n Brisket are the best in the West.“

“Apple Maps suggested it. Good coffee. No selection on non-sweet pastries. Disappointed on that. But still good coffee. I-5 n broadway location.“

“My new favorite place! So healthy and right sized portions. This was my first visit. Easily navigated the kiosk and liked how I could customize. Food came out super quick. I had the roasted sweet potatoes and the chicken bowl with the green goddess dressing. So delicious! I will be telling my family & friends.“

“Authentic Mexican food. Best Magaritas along with good music and service“

“Delicious menudo served with hand made tortillas! Can’t wait to come back to try the birria.“

“A beautiful restaurant with lively vibe!

Great wine selection for wine lovers, and a simple cocktail menu for the liquor fan.
They gave me a mega pint for my gin tonic, which I am far from complaining.

The staff is super kind, super attentive to make sure our beverages and table was clear.

We ordered:
Anticuchos - Heart Skewers with a side of roasted potatoes, peruvian corn and rocoto sauce. I am an organ meat fan so this hit the spot. Add a dash of the rocoto sauce as it brings the flavor to a new level

Bistec Con Tllarin Verde: The rib eye steak was perfectly cooked medium rare, seasoned simply. They do provide sauces on the side to enjoy of course. It comes with a savory Creamy pesto Linguine to pair with the protein.

To share with a group of 5, additionally a dish called
Chancho Al Palo : Rotisserie Style Pork, with their crispy skin, sweet plantains and white rice. Comes with a lovely Salsa Criolla. Another well perfected pork, keeping its savory juice within. The Salsa Criolla tops it up to the finest pairing“

“I loved this place when I went to the truck and love it more, now that they have opened a brick and mortar near my house. First it is spotless, especially compared to what was there before. I have had most of the items on the menu and have enjoyed them all. It's not super pricey and the people are nice, as well as being locals. It is one of my go to places.“

“This place was great. I don't remember exactly what my coworker got maybe the carne asada but cut up in pieces but I got the Chile relleno double and even my coworker wanted a piece 🧩 lol. Everything was great from the rice to the beans topped with cheese.“

“Love this place, makes me feel like I went back in time...Definitely a hidden gem! The food: chicken wings, pizza, pasta, etc... any foodie would appreciate. The selection of beers � and wine � are varied and last but not least, the SERVICE, we are spoiled Everytime, the staff goes above and beyond! I highly recommend stopping there before any type of LA event.“

“This was the 3rd time I have been to this place with my father. The menudo was delicious. Every item on the menu is authentic Mexican food from the nopales con huevo to the mole just mouth watering. The ladies behind the counter are very friendly and really nice. 👍👍“

“Great food and filling the burritos and the quesadillas are 5.50 sorry I don't have a picture but I'm a big guy and it filled me up! The have red and green salsa, they have cilantro and onions, salsa de guacamole, rebanadas, cucumbers AND pepinos.Only reason it's 4 stars is because it was really dirty“

“Nativo is a small Spanish tapas joint off a side street in Highland Park. The paella sampler was well done—seafood was fresh, saffron flavor was balanced, and the socarrat crust was crisp. I also tried a jamón croqueta and grilled octopus, both of which were flavorful. The wine list is modest but thoughtfully selected. The ambiance is dim and cozy, with candles and exposed brick. The only thing is noise — during peak hours it gets loud, but that’s part of the energy.“

“$3 fish tacos on wednesdays are pretty good. From the overall size not some mini version taco and the tortilla the fish tacos are served on they dont get soggy by the time you get home. Also they serve it with a sour cream/crema not mayonnaise like some places do. The fish itself battered with a light tasty crispiness overall a valued deal.“

“Muy rica la comida, muchos platillos diferentes en el menú, y muy económico, panadería y variedad de productos Guatemaltecos.“

“I went here to celebrate my birthday and have dinner before a lakers game. And I have nothing but great things to say about it. Firstly the service is exceptional. Everyone was so kind and made me feel so special. The food was incredible and the drinks were tasty. And the location is amazing!!! Quick easy walk to the game. We were in a bit of a hurry so they even boxed up a little birthday cake for me. I really really recommend this place. Will definitely be back. Thank you to everyone who made this dinner so special!!!“

“muy bien, lo recomiendo es buena. sólo que hay una que me atendió se puso un poco prepotente pero salió bien“

“Super buena me encanta tengo años consumiendo y no lo cambiaría por nada“

“People say this spot has some of the best fast food fried chicken. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. I got their 4 piece meal with half fried and roasted chicken, beans, plantains, and tortillas. Yall know im a bean fiend and these beans were smooth, savory, and flavorful. The plantains were sweet, soft, caramalized, and a bit tart? Not really for me. The roasted chicken was super savory, flavorful, juicy, and actually really yummy. The fried chicken was perfectly crispity crunchy and just as flavorful and juicy. Pro tip is to make a taco using the corn tortilla with all the yummy ingredients. This place is actually pretty good.

4 pc meal $16.30 before tax“

“Decor, Tierra Mia standard, space utilization needs to be improved. And definitely needs some maintenance and update. Looks dirty, Old and not cared for.
Menu, can you please focus on your latino base menu, cafe con leche, cortado o cubano, cafe de la olla, chocolate. Let starbucks keep half descent lattes, caramel macchiatos. Just maintain the inside and outside of your location and keep on improving bean, drink quality and
barista skills.
Hopefully owners get to read this.“

“Todo está muy rico 😋 gracias“

“We came to Que Bárbaro looking for a good steak dinner and ended up having an amazing experience. The food was excellent, the ribeye was cooked perfectly, and everything we ordered was full of flavor. We got ceviche , empanadas and something for a spicy lovers : lomo saltado. We had a great server - Iga. She gave us great recommendations and service. The atmosphere was lively and fun without feeling overwhelming, making it a great spot for either a casual dinner or a special night out. Overall, we had a fantastic time and will definitely be back next time we’re in DTLA. Highly recommend!“

“It's was good I liked it. I will definitely go again.“
