“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.“
“We liked it a lot! I went with my family, and all the dishes we ordered were very well served and delicious. We ordered birria, a fish fillet, some tacos, chicken fajitas and Menudo. Excellent service and the place is very cozy.I highly recommend this place!!“
“Everything was a little too spicy for me, but hey a good flavorWaitress didn't bring me a plate even when I called "ma'am" at least 4 times, and finally flagged down a different staff. (we ordered the shared meal)Hubby used his appetizer plate.“
“Sol Agave is a solid choice for lunch. It wasn’t super busy on a Sunday at 1pm. The covered patio was heated and comfortable even though it was chilly and windy. We tried the charred romaine salad which was just ok. The chips and salsa and guacamole were delicious. I also really liked the Camerones Al Gusto. Our vegan tacos could have been more flavorful, maybe with the addition of a nut based “crema” or something to give a little more flavor. Surprisingly dessert was one of my favorite parts of the meal. The butter cake is a MUST order menu item. Sol Agave is worth a try!“
“Mija has been in my Yelp collection of places to try in Culver. It's in the center at the corner of Sepulveda & Washington. It has a spacious and comfortable outdoor heated patio and a huge indoor space. My first impression when I walked inside was WOW. The aesthetic and decor was stunning. It was comfortable and cozy but elegant and cool at the same time. I was greeted right away by Mel, with a friendly welcome and smile as she showed me to my table where I was meeting a friend for dinner and a few drinks. I'd studied the menu in advance- like I was preparing for the SAT exam, and I was really excited to finally be here. Mel was happy to make a few drink recommendations but being a creature of habit, I went with the strawberry margarita. I've got to tell you guys that the bartender deserves a hug and a raise because it was literally the absolute best margarita I've ever had. (and I've had more than a few). It was made with fresh strawberries, not some of that bottled syrup that you get in most places. After the first sip, I knew there was a second in my future! I was really excited to find out that they serve breakfast items all day, but I was in the mood for something a little bit more savory so we decided to share an order of the chicken nachos to start. Mel told us that everything was scratch made and they'd be happy to accommodate our request to make them with red and green sauce. The nachos came hot from the kitchen and I've got to tell you these nachos are a game changer. Most of the time when you think nachos you think bar food. These nachos were definitely next level! The chips were fresh the cheese was fresh. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the sauces were definitely freshly made. I could hear the singing coming from my tummy as I was taking every bite. They are fork and knife nachos so you can get every single bite. For my entrée, I decided on Flautas - one potato with chile and one chicken. They were absolutely huge - accompanied by fresh salsa and rice. They were topped with arugula with a very light vinaigrette and pickled red onions. The same delicious moist flavorful chicken and the potato and chili were both delicious. Every single bite was perfect. The flour tortillas they were wrapped in were perfectly golden and deliciously crispy. Of course, at this point, I was on my second margarita because why not? Lucky for me that they didn't have straws because I would've probably had another! Did I mention that we scored $5 Happy Hour prices? Yay! Mija is definitely a place where you can know that every dish is made with intention and love. I'm even more excited about the fact that it's away from the hustle and bustle and chaos that is downtown Culver. It's right in my own backyard and easy to get to with plenty of parking. It's right off of the 405 at Sepulveda so it's easy access from just about anywhere. I don't know why this place is not packed because the quality and flavors of the food are beyond anything I could've expected and the prices are amazing. The service we received from Mel and the talented bartender are definitely worth a shout out. They were friendly customer oriented, and genuinely appreciative of our business. The next time you were looking for a casual place with excellent food and even better service in a great location, you have to come in and give them a try. You won't be disappointed and like me, you'll wonder why it took you so long to finally get there. Mija Handcraft Kitchen - thanks for the amazing food and drinks. It was an exceptional experience and you will definitely see me again soon.“
“Walked by so many times and it's always busy. Finally checked it out Saturday for an early dinner. We made a reservation, since it seems they are always busy. Although there were some vacant tables for walk-ins when we arrived. So many 'fun' margaritas on the menu and I had the completely satisfying skinny-marg with zero guilt. My BF had a classic and liked it enough to have a second one. For food we went with:Classic Esquitos (Mexican corn cut off the cob, with spice, cheese and just loads of flavor). Rainbow Carrots were delish. There were roasted carrots, pureed carrots and diced marinated raw carrots. Absolutely ordering these next time. Fish Tacos. Best thing was each taco had a nice size piece of fish, not just fish scraps. It was a bit too salty but an extra squeeze of lime offset the salt. Carne Asada Plate. Salt at first bite was so overwhelming we had to ask if there was something wrong. The staff was more than helpful, offering to remake it with no added salt or take it off the bill and let us order something else. Ultimately we decided to let them remake it with no added salt, they did tell us the steak was pre-marinated. It tasted significantly better without extra seasoning. Service was 11/10 both servers went above and beyond to make sure we were pleased with our dinner. Next time I'm definitely getting one of their specialty margaritas and nachos!“
“I have to say, for the price that they sell their food at, and with the portion size and flavor, this place is definitely worth trying. I stopped by here on my way home once because I've never had their food before. I saw they had loaded fries and knew I had to try it. Today when I went, the place looked very clean, and the people who were sat down and eating looked very content with their food. The man who took my order was very nice. He was quick to go help back in the kitchen and help prepare/package my order and a different order as well. I didn't have to wait a very long time since the restaurant was fairly quiet. When I got home, I noticed there was a complimentary small bag of chips and pico de gallo. They were super tasty, and the pico de gallo had a little kick to it and very flavorful! The loaded fries themselves were also full of flavor, with the jalapeños on top adding a good amount of spice. I wish they would add more cheese, and I usually don't like loaded fries that have regular shredded cheese instead of the melted nacho cheese, but these were really tasty even without that! I just couldn't be mad with what I received, especially because the asada meat I got on top was also flavorful, which can be rare to find at other places that have loaded fries. Everything was really great, and I can't wait to come back here again!“
“This great lady makes some very delicious food! Everything just tastes right and makes you feel happy and satisfied. I tried all the dishes and everything is on another level. Highly recommend!!Vegetarian options: All dishes are kosher and the owner has all required certifications.“
“Quick and friendly service. Limited seating inside, which might make it difficult to find seating if they're busy. I judge Mexican restaurants by their tortillas and bean and rice. The chicken dorados taco combo hit the spot. This is my go to Mexican place in Marina Del Rey.“
“Wow. The Percheron Burrito. It's so good and bad all in one - a bacon wrapped Sonoran style burrito. This thing shouldn't even be legal! From a flavor and foodie experience standpoint, this is a must try. Inside your bacon wrapped burrito is either chicken (my choice), carne Asada, or Al pastor along with queso blanco, tomatoes, sliced avacado, and finished with chipotle mayo. Pure deliciousness, but obviously nothing healthy about it besides the protein. This could become THE iconic LA burrito. A must try.“
“I've been coming here for a few years and always get the wet burrito. The mole is also great. It's a large portion and always tastes amazing. It's hard to find parking sometimes but you can't beat the food here if you're in the area.“
“We went to Melody for their pop-up and tried all three tacos they had for $3 each on Taco Tuesday. Great price for such high quality ingredients! Would definitely eat again!Potato Taco: 5/5This was the surprise winner! Such good flavors!Fish Taco: 4.5/5A solid and flavorful fish taco! My tiny critique is that I wish there was a bit more fish.Barbacoa: 2.5/5Meat was cooked well but it was not as flavorful compared to the other two - would not get again and instead would replace my third taco with the fish or potato!“
“We were visiting Beverly Hills and went to Rodeo Dr. I wanted soup & we found this restaurant with chicken and rice soup. My wife had chicken taco and Berry margarita. We sat on inside by the outside open window area. The soup was a really big bowl, shredded chicken, flavorful and hearty! The chicken taco was bigger than expected and she enjoyed it!! The Berry margarita fruit wasn’t sweet and was okay, not great. Our table did not have place seatings & after food delivered my wife went to another table to get napkins. The server was friendly. The kitchen was on the side of dining room behind glass panels we thought was interesting. The restrooms were upstairs and not ADA friendly that we saw other alternatives.“
