I no longer live nor visit Altadena/Pasadena as much anymore but my Dad took me yesterday 2/25/25 and I ordered 2 asada tacos and 2 carnitas and the meat has so much flavor and cooked just the way I like it. I definitely will be driving n hour nd half more often for this food.“

“Las micheladas!!!! Chefs kiss👌 ;)“

“I ordered the Chinese Chicken Curry and it was super delicious just like the UK. I haven’t had that in the USA before! Really good stuff. Order with Brown hub Rice. Other people in my project ordered different things and all said how good it was.“

“I got two burritos and a veggie taco for $30 but it was so worth it. Very yummy ? and clean. I don’t eat out at all usually because of covid but we were in between hikes and got hungry. There was one cook and one cashier and both were wearing masks. Thanks guys!“

“This is as local and authentic as you can get for Mexican food! It's a cute little shop that makes fantastic tasting dishes, better than many fancy restaurants I've visited. Their Carne Asada nachos is bursting with flavor and reasonably priced, consider me a regular, cheers!“

“All the food was outstanding. The raw fish and seafood was unbelievably fresh and aptly paired with elevated fresh flavors. The tostadas reminded me of Contramar in Cdmx, but even better (dare i say).

The atmosphere is beautiful, has a massive garden space, scattered lighting, copious succulents. It feels like an escape right in LA. The service is warm, personable, efficient.

Definitely worth the trip and such a great find.“

“We had a great experience at this bar! Even though we arrived late, Dustin, was incredibly warm and welcoming, which immediately set the tone for the night. Our servers, Juan and Robert, were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The service never felt rushed, and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. You can really tell they care about their guests. We’ll definitely be back!“

““OMG, my sister recommended this restaurant as I picked her up from LAX, the food was authentic real Mexican food, beyond exquisite. The place gave me vibes of a fondita in Mexico, which I loved. The portions are perfect, the handmade tortillas were fire!! The quesadillas, beans and beef, chicharron guisado where delicious!!! Please try their pumpkin horchata!! The staff are so friendly too. I spent $40 on my sister and I. Well worth it!!!“

“The best tacos in California!“

“Had the bacon breakfast burrito. It was off the charts delicious. The burrito was all about quality. First, Im almost certain the tortilla was freshly made. It was light biting through warm butter soft and tender not doughy. Then there was this gentle crispness from the bacon and potatoes. Absolute culinary perfection. I will be coming here often. Its a small but quant and comfortable restaurant with plenty of seating inside and outside. They also have clean and comfortable restroom“

“I'm here just about every other weekend to get takeout for the family. The Indian flavors really come through in an exciting way. The rotisserie chicken is one of the best I've found in LA, and it's not even the best chicken on the menu. Anything with beans are a must-have.“

“The food was on another level, super fresh local ingredients, family recipes made with recognition of the past and an eye towards the future. The vibe in the restaurant is top-notch and the neighborhood is so chill and beautiful. Sat outside and met so many friendly people on the street, and the staff was really gracious. The butternut squash chorizo brussels sprout with preserved lemon dish was banging, enchiladas mole poblano and Chilaquiles with christmas sauce and pecan flan were all so good“

“We went there with my family and had an amazing experience. The service was outstanding! We told the woman who was taking care of us that we had traveled all the way from Chile just to eat there, and she brought us so many extra dishes on top of what we ordered so we could try and enjoy real Mexican food. We loved everything. We will definitely come back someday!“

“BEST Mexican food EVER!!☆☆☆☆☆ It's Always great seeing Roy every time I walk in that door! I reminisce the mid 80's when I was first introduced to his establishment by a mutual friend. The atmosphere is great, the staff is awesome, the food is simple, consistent, and always tastes great! Honestly, I was Very upset when Roy said he was going to close after so many years... but I'm glad he changed his mind! :) L'Abeja truly is a gem to the community! Not only does your great food warm our bellies, but also our hearts!♡♡♡ Btw, I recommend everything on the menu!“

“We found this amazing taco restaurant by watching an LA food channel and the couple making the video said that this was their favorite taco place. We took a cab here after doing the Warner Brothers studio tour for dinner. It was empty when we arrived, but the workers helped us choose which tacos we wanted, but in the end, we ended up going with a variety plate so we could try the different types. It was a great way to get some authentic tacos. Highly recommend!“

“Best Tacos !! Love it . Keep it up“

“This is great comfort food like Mom would make. The tortillas are awesome and the birria is juicy and tender! Highly recommend.“

“If you have not had the chance to dine in at Girasol, I highly recommend it. The chicharon with guac is a must as a starter, make sure you get some of the spicy sauce. As for a recommendation for a meal, well you have to come in and try. We loved the chilaquiles, the carne en su juego, the menudo, and the breakfast burrito. If you have a sweeter taste, the French toast, the pancakes and the crepe are awesome. But as mentioned before, you just have to come in and try everything.“

“Great food and service. Salsas were amazing.“

“I love this restaurant so much. I’ve been there twice and just ordered DoorDash tonight. The food is consistently SO good, and the things sometimes just thought of us garnishments, like pickled turnips, are some of my favorites of the meal. Their Brussels sprouts, I love many versions of them, but this is THE BEST! I will tell anyone and everyone how great this restaurant is!“

“Best Mexican food I've ever had.The Chile Colorado is amazing. As great as the food is, the service is even better. Lourdes is a gem. She is the definition of great service. Friendly, attentive and knows the large menu very well. Look no further for than Amigos Restaurant for great Mexican food.“

“Es una lástima que no siempre preparen la comida buena será que cambian de cocinera por ejemplo hoy mi novio y yo tomamos desayuno y los chilaquiles estaban horribles!!“

“This place was highly recommended. I had their carne asada burrito 🌯. It was a generous portion of fresh meat, rice & beans. The red salsa made it tastier. I had to save half for later as it was filling. Will definitely return!“

“Amazing birria tacos 😍🌮 came in at around 9pm and I also got a Cantarito. Soooo good. The consomé is also really good. The queso birria tacos are $3.50 & the consomé is $3. Really great price. The Cantarito was $15 but it was really good. I had it with Mezcal 🍹I took the food to go and even though I ate about an hour after I got them, they were still really good. No soggy tortillas 😆 overall 5/5 ⭐! Great service, too! Thank you so much! 🙏“
