50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants East Compton

“Cruda was a fantastic spot. I was excited to try the camarones culichi. I was so thankful for the waitress that helped us and let me know that the culichi was a bit spicy that day (usually it's not that spicy) so I ended up skipping it and getting the shrimp tacos. So ask your server if the culichi is spicy before ordering. I don't do well with spicy. The ambiance was very neat - love the neon sign. If you know you know! ;) Overall, great place a little pricy but ask for the specials if they have any. we got double the oysters because they were having a sale. Solid place.“

“A lifetime of eating Mexican food, living in Mexico and speaking Spanish fluently couldn't have prepared me for the culinary whirlwind that I experienced last night at Damian. Accompanying friends who have been long time patrons of Damian served as personal tour guides through the labyrinth of menu selections that culminated in one of the most memorable meals I have ever had as a native Angelino. What makes Damian so remarkable is the layers of flavors that appear in every dish and the surprising combinations of ingredients that while seemingly so disparate, create a fusion of flavors that one wouldn't think possible in one cuisine. The service is impeccable and the environment relaxing, intimate and simply world class.“

“This is a very cool place. The food is delicious and the service is spot on. They have a motorcycle theme, and they have motorcycles on display, they have a store on premises to got swag. They have a tattoo parlor and a barber shop. It's really a cool place to go.“

“The pizza was to die for — we had the margarita pizza — thin crust and sauce delicious. We had the artichoke burrata appetizer which was delicious too. The area where the restaurant is located is very cool. Enjoyable all the way around.“

“Yummy tacos! We had the lomo saltado, carnitas and fish tacos and all were Good! We also had the potato and cheese taquitos and the cara cara Olive oil cake. The Olive oil cake was warm and moist on the inside and was crunchy and crisp on the outside. Went well with the orange sherbet that came with it!“

“You will not find better service than when you enter Borjstar. Honestly, they treat you like a star. They are attentive and incredibly kind, friendly, and accommodating. The food is just as great. Very flavorful and leaves you wanting more! They also have a yogurt/ice cream dispenser so you can treat yourself before/after your meal. Put Borjstar on your list of restaurants to visit in the Gardena/South Bay area. You won't regret it!“

“The Chef's take on everyday food IS the experience! Golf, that's an after thought, you won't even notice the course while treating yourself to an experience your mouth won't shut up about long after "T-time" . So, one lump or two?“

“Last night we went to Speak Cheezy on 4th St at Termino. First off, EXCELLENT customer service! We had the Shroomday Button (Oyster and Maitake Mushrooms/ White Wine Braised Leeks / Truffle Cheese / house stretched mozzarella / shredded mozz / parsley / post oven of lemon zest. *We love to add Hobbs Sausage*). I added that delicious sausage and loved that pizza! We also had the Bloomsdale (garlicky bloomsdale spinach / hand stretched mozzarella / shredded mozzarella /pecorino / smoked ricotta / gaeta olive / za’atar / feta salsa verde)... and YUM! And we decided to try the Garden of Farms Little Gem Caesar Salad (little gems / kewpie caesar dressing / pizza croutons / anchovies / Ribbons of Fiscalini Gold / soft cooked egg). Again, tasty, tasty, tasty. Speak Cheezy sure seems to use high-end products in the creation of their pizzas and salads. Everything was top notch. That salad was so yummy with that incredible salad dressing and the jammy soft cooked egg. I want another one to eat with my lovely pizza leftovers. :)“

“First time we try this place and it has become our new fav brunch/lunch spot in Long Beach right away!The food is super tasty and healthy, definitely one of the best vegan food I ever had in LA. Great atmosphere and super friendly staff. To top it off, the patio tables and indoor/outdoor space make it very dog friendly which was perfect for our dog (it’s also 5min from Rosie’s beach, so very convenient!)“

“Really delicious food. Tiny outside eating area. Valet parking, which is good because this isn't a neighborhood where you'd like to be walking around at night getting to your car.Kid-friendliness: NoWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Every single drink and dish they make is the absolute best. If you haven’t tried their grain bowl or biscuit sammie, do so immediately. And the cardamom latte is liquid gold. I love everything about WEOP including the staff and owners. Best place ever!!“

“This place is pretty awesome. Tons of different kinds of crazy good food. I got the cookies, the shrimp skewers, Thai fried chicken, and mango sticky rice ice cream. Takes a while to wait in line but totally worth it. Also the DJ there is pretty good as well so you have decent tunes to listen to while you wait for the vendors. Rest of the mall area is pretty chill lots of thrift and high end clothing stores“

“Hello Guys Marvin Here!!Just found this hidden gem in the most unlikely place Compton!Let me tell you they have it all the ambience is great they have a super duper bartender cashier who is super attentive! It is small but very confortable. Background muaic is nice! They have a craft beer rotation that includes your local California favorites like L.A ale works, Monkish, and alot of others!

“I ordered all of each tacos: Asada, Adobada, Pollo, Chorizo, Mushroom with Cebollitas with Aqua Fresca and it was the bomb! My boyfriend ordered Papa Loka with Adobada with Guacamole with Jamaica. I took a taste test and it was good and huge! Enough to share with two people.Vegetarian options: They have mushrooms tacos which are my favorite for vegan eaters.Parking: Come early to get a spot in front of the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: You can take your kids to eat here.“

“The best food and the best service! This is our third time coming here and nothing ever misses. The lunch is always a great vibe! This last time was with a big party of 8 and it was all handled seamlessly and everyone loved their meals, so thought it was time to give them a shoutout! Of the 3 times we've had the same server (Adrian) and they are truly such a special server happy to be there and be helpful! We couldn't remember if we like the shiro or shouyo more and they were helping us trying to figure it out, was super sweet and funny!! Thank you again!!!“

“A couple of weeks ago I stopped by on a Saturday. Met the owner Kevyn and a couple of employees. Super friendly and helpful. And Kevyn's enthusiasm is a joy to be around! The decor is fun, all New Orleans and they carry a few treats from Louisiana too, like traditional pralines and Zapp's New Orleans kettle style potato chips in several flavors. Now onto the Son Balls. They've got sooooo many flavors and they're all created in-house. I tried a number of them and they were all delicious: mango, guava, passion fruit, Pina colada, li hing mui, and watermelon. Next time I'm going to try wedding cake, mojito, creamsicle, candy apple... and maybe dill pickle. :) Anyway, highly recommend. THIS is a small business we need to support! Great local owner with wonderful energy and a terrific product!“

“4++ great neighborhood coffee shop that has fun, chill vibes, and enthusiastic service. There's fun decor inside and looks like a place where people can hang out or get some reading and/or work done. I only got an Americano or drip from here (with added cream), so I can't really speak to the food items or any of the more complex, possibly more sugary drinks here. It looks like they roast their own beans here as well. I had a lot of coffee at home at the time of my visit, so I didn't buy a bag. I might have to come back and grab one. Parking was easy to find. There's a lot on the side of the building. If the lot is full, I'm pretty sure you could find street parking close by.“

“#UbuntuCafe is located in the #BelmontHeights community of #LongBeach #90814. It is well known to all the locals as “The Greatest Neighborhood Cafe”. #RTR knows it as a great place to come enjoy delicious food & enjoy the weather in the outdoor open setting. I always order the chicken bowl! Yummy Yummy~ See you here!“

“I recently took my lunch break at Guzzu Bento-ya, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. I opted for their Hayashi Rice, a flavorful twist on Japanese beef stew, and it instantly became my new favorite comfort food, especially in the chilly weather. The braised tender beef, onions, and mushrooms melded together perfectly, creating a hearty and satisfying meal.The space was cozy and perfect to do some work. I love how they have anime playing on the projector.Beyond their renowned bento boxes, Guzzu Bento-ya impressed me with their new salads and stews, each bursting with flavor. The staff was incredibly accommodating, offering spot-on recommendations that enhanced my dining experience. Whether you're craving a classic bento box or eager to explore their latest offerings, Guzzu Bento-ya is sure to exceed your expectations. Highly recommended!5/5“

“Literally EVERYTHING is incredible! Lots of love and care put into each item. Tatiana and her husband are super passionate about serving delicious and nutritious food to their visitors. The lox bagel, brioche French toast and cinnamon roll are just a couple of the fantastic, drool inducing items. Can’t wait to come back to LA!!“

“As a devoted food lover, Dirt Dog- Gardena, is a Southern California experience worth savoring.From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by a striking large wall mural of the Legends of West Coast Hip Hop, adding to the laid-back vibe that California is known for.The menu boasts a tantalizing array of options, from bacon wrapped hot dogs to birria tacos to fried Oreos! But when in doubt, you simply can't go wrong with a classic dirty dog and a side of filthy fries. Each bite is a flavor explosion that leaves you craving more.Refreshing beer on tap perfectly complements the bold flavors of the food and adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience.Overall, Dirt Dog in Gardena is a must-visit destination for any food lover in Los Angeles. With its inviting atmosphere, delicious food, and refreshing drinks, it's the perfect spot to indulge in a taste of the West Coast.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“Food is really good you won't be disappointed just the parking & the seats are so so .Vegetarian options: Well you have beans , guacamole , rice , salsas on a handmade tortilla is pretty good .Dietary restrictions: I myself don't eat beef I'm a chicken fella myself . I love a pair of chicken tacos on handmade tortillas with guacamole feel good & not greasy either with a touch of salsa .“

“Perfect brunch/breakfast spot. Super cute casual charm with dishes to match. The portions are great and the food was delicious. I particularly loved my baklava latte- definitely a yummy treat on a rainy morning. My eggs Benedict were great and on latkas?? Delicious! Everyone enjoyed their food and the service was super quick and efficient. The only downside is the parking and size of the location, on a rainy day everyone was waiting for an inside spot, so you may have to wait a bit for a seat. Thankfully we arrived early enough to not worry about that ! The food was a bit on the pricey side, so definitely be warned that two dishes and two drinks, plus tip was about $60. That brunch price may not be for everyone, so please know that it’s definitely a bit more of a price to pay but I wholeheartedly think that it was worth it!“

“Woah, such a cool place! Super awesome that it is dog friendly, has great food, alcohol, wifi, and a bunch of outlets around the area if you want to do some work. I came here with my bf and we stumbled upon this place by chance because all of the other coffee shops were packed with people and so we ended up just walking around. We just walked up to the parking area and asked the guard if there were any coffee shops nearby with wifi and outlets. It just so happened, he pointed at this bike shed behind him and said he thinks this place has all the things we were looking for. We were skeptical because there were just a bunch of motorcycles behind him so we were confused. We decided to check it out anyway and this place has easily become such a hole in the wall, great find! Service is amazing and they made us feel like it was home. Food was so good! We got the margarita pizza, the zucchini fries, and a beer. I would 10/10 order everything again plus more if we had the chance to come back. Lots of dogs coming in and out with their owners, so I was very happy about that! My pup, Benny, loves this place and I bet he would love to come back as well.“

“Family owned and operated truck located in Boyle Heights / East LA area that specializes in tacos arabes and goodies from Puebla in general. The tacos arabes were a result of Lebanese immigrants to the area and boy are they delicious. I came here later on a Thursday night so it wasn't very busy and it was pretty chill. Just a few other people around me. The folks here were friendly and helpful. I ordered:A taco arabe especiale- their signature taco with their marinated roast pork on this soft flower tortilla. This was topped Oaxacan cheese and slices of avocado (especiale). There was this chipotle sauce on top of everything. The sauce added some smokiness to an already great flavor and texture profile. I really liked that flour tortilla. Quesadilla de flor de calabaza - zucchini blossoms with melted Oaxacan cheese inside a blue corn tortilla. Love corn and I love this. Nice and chewy with earthy and slightly sweet flavors to go along with their delicious salsaDefinitely recommend for tacos/ quesadillas etc etc or if you are just in the mood for something a little different.“

“My friend and I had just finished a hot yoga sesh in the area and wanted something healthy to eat. Lucky me, she found Appu's! We were greeted by Chef VR himself! He made us feel so welcomed and gave us wonderful recommendations since it was our first time. We were not disappointed as the food was sooooo bomb! The vegan mango lassi is his own recipe and I was mind blown how good it was especially being vegan and having no sugar added (besides the fruit). The burritos were ‍ ??‍?? and filled with so much flavor. I can't wait to come back and try all the other dishes! ?“

“Feels like a modern trendy hip pho spot that totally passes the vibe check.We were greeted as we came in even during the busy dinner time.Sat at one of the booths with space to have a stroller next to us without being in the way for others.The staff are super friendly with awesome ink tats and just super chill.I ordered the #4 pho with streak and brisket which was yummy, next time I will for sure get a large.We got 2 orders of the #30 the minced pork and veggies egg rolls which were delicious and gone as quickly as they came.Huge dinning area with a modern rustic open kitchen décor.Needed to stay up so I got me a Vietnamese coffee which was on point.Can’t wait to come back to try other things off the menu.Parking: Big parking lotKid-friendliness: Able to fit a stroller next to our table“

“We had a birthday party for 11 here on the outdoor patio and it was perfect. Great drinks, service, and ambiance. Excellent location for an outdoor celebration. Eclectic drink menu with good wines and beers. And convenient on-site parking. Overall, I highly recommend it!“

“Our second time dining here, this time we brought friends. It was perfect and food, service was awesome. However I was a bit disappointed by the lobster pot pie.... It was not what I was expecting, lobster was cold and just didn't taste right. Other than that, great place to fine“

“Love this very fun themed long beach bar! The special drinks are all very tasty and not simply variations on the standards. The bartenders know their stuff. And a great list of mocktails to include everyone in the fun! Live music is a plus!“

“I was in the area for a tire and in desperate need of coffee. I asked the barista which to get and they recommended the horchata latte, I got it with half the sweetener, iced and it was perfect. I even splurged and got a the tomato & mozzarella empanada (also recommend by the barista) chefs kiss! Came with a chipotle sauce of some kind and so fresh. I also opted for the spinach, egg and cheese empanada which was also delicious. Will definitely be back when in the area.“

“I keep coming back to V-Burger because there's so much to love: delicious burgers, wonderful sides, crunchy salt on the fries, a great selection of drinks, friendly service, and a kickass punk rock atmosphere. V-Burger is all killer, no filler.“

“Clean, comfortable, and beautiful coffee shop.Their cold brew, strawberry matcha & horchata frappe were delicious. Loved their jalapeño cheddar bagel & blueberry scone.Kid-friendliness: There are plenty of children’s books and a cozy environment.“

“The Attic provided us with a great start to the long weekend we have planned. The food was great. From the short rib poutine to fall off the bone pork ribs, everything we had was masterfully prepared. The doughnut beneigts with homemade strawberry jam were the perfect end to the meal. The rootbeer float was amazing.Portion size was perfect for what we were looking for at the time. The restaurant itself was beautiful and was very relaxing. Outdoor seating was comfortable, and of needed, there was overhead heating available.We can't wait to go back and eat there again!Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp up to the front door, but the outdoor seating is right at the sidewalk level and easy to navigate a wheel chair through“

“You're looking for fresh seafood, expertly prepared, perfectly seasoned. This is it. It's a clean and upscale place that actually serves FRESH fish, never frozen, and you can tell. The flavors are delicate and carefully prepared, and served rapidly. Their kitchen is truly amazing. Some of the best seafood I've had. Recommended.“

“The signature cold brew was great! Prices are decent. Ube matcha and tonic espresso my friends got were also good as they claimed. We only bought drinks.Parking: Small and busy parking lot. There wasn't any parking available for me. I had to park in the next plaza and walk over.“

“Jenny and Julian are so nice they were closing up and i just missed them and Julian went back in and gave me these delicious cinnamon twist . Thanks Julian . You and Jenny are amazing the food is always top tier . Next time I’ll have to come get your famous breakfast sandwich and vanilla ice “

“Delicious food and friendly service. Ordered to go, but ended up staying and eating in the patio area which has heat lamps. This place is small and no indoor dining.Will definitely go back!Parking: Street parking only in a crowded neighborhood.“

“Clean, cute, good service, yummy. I got the Bachos which like a Jamaican nachos. I never had Jamaican food to know but I liked it. Salty for me but I don't add salt to anything and the Frito type chips already come that way I think. I got the lentil as my protein, which was like crumbled falafel. The cheese sauce was like a salad dressing texture and flavor. Reminded me of Cesar salad dressing. I think I found a raisin in there and I didn't mind. Would definitely come back. Thanks for feeding this vegan passing by the area.“

“The food is always good at this location. I felt the staff was friendly and helpful. This is one of my top restaurants to go to as the price is fair. For what you get and quality is great. The turkey and chicken sandwiches are great. The steak is very good. Mashed potatoes are great.“

“cool spot in dtlb to hang out with friends and try not just any cider. most of their ciders won an award! nice evening entertainment and also a great spot for a special event. you can play board games, jenga, or just work on your laptop while trying one of their creative cider-based cocktails. thumbs up guys!“

“The sushi here is to die for!!!! We moved about 45 minutes away and when ever we crave sushi we will make the drive. I have yet to find a sushi restaurant near me that comes even close to Osaka Story! My husband and I make sure we come once a month. My husband love the quality, atmosphere, customer service, and the amazing people that work here. Thank you Reyna and the rest of Osaka story crew!“

“Best authentic Mexican ice cream in the area. I refuse to go elsewhere. The store owner is so sweet, and the business is family owned. The prices are great and affordable. They have an adorable patio outside there shop. They are also dog friendly!“

“Cutest place with so many options to suit everyone! The whole vibe is so gorgeous with an outdoor area to sit. We got the French toast, potatoes, black bean burrito, iced white mocha, and Maple brown sugar latte. All 10/10! Highly recommend!“

“4+ Considered one of the best by many or at least one of the most popular taco spots in Los Angeles. They have a good variety of items and meats, but I would say they are most known for their al pastor (marinated, spit-roasted pork that is usually served with a slice/ chunk of pineapple). The service here is pretty efficient since they have to be - there's almost always a line. The vibe: depending on the time of day or night you come, it's usually a mixed group of people wanting to try this spot, people eating after a drinking session, or just people looking for decently priced tacos. One of the times I was here, I was standing behind Dante Basco (Rufio!), haha. Usually a fun vibe for sure. My usual here is two tacos (typically the al pastor) and a mulita. It used to be that there was a toppings and salsa bar where you would dress up your food. Not sure if it's because of the pandemic or people taking advantage and taking too much stuff home, you now have to go to a separate window to ask for the toppings and salsa and they're individually packaged. I definitely think this place is worth going for the al pastor. I myself have been here multiple times. Parking can be tough, but if you are going during the week there's usually parking along the street facing south on LA Brea right around the corner. Just be careful though as it is a relatively high traffic area and some people seem to drive recklessly in this area.“

“Love this place so much!!! My fiancé and I went here on our first ever date and so it already holds a special place for us, but deservingly so. This place is delicious. I've tried multiple things on their menu and nothing ever misses. They also give you a complimentary chip appetizer which i couldn't get enough of and had to physically stop myself because I knew the rest of the delicious food was coming. Service is always great and the establishment is very clean. There is lots of seating and a small parking lot in the back. If that lot is full then you can find street parking. The Anticuchos, lomo saltado, jalea mixto, ceviche, Seco, and stir fried noodles are all so tasty. The flavors are never lacking, plus there are so many other things on the menu to try. I love this place and will always come back.“

“I love this place! The coffee is soooo good. Quality espresso and the drinks aren't sickly sweet. I've tried a regular latte and a mocha and love both. You can tell they actually know and care about espresso and provide friendly service. The ambiance is cool but I really don't care because the coffee is so good. As someone with an espresso machine at home I appreciate when coffee shops aren't selling me crappy coffee and it tastes better than what I can make. The Gorgoroth sandwich is also sooo good and huge! I'm surprised at how un-basic it was lol.“

“This GEM is a somewhat hidden oasis for the ?️‍⚧️ Community ?️‍? the breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwich are GAY-mazing! Added some extra crispy bacon and a side of guacamole for even more deliciousness. The potato tacos were fabulous as well (I ordered them with and without tortillas). The staff was amazing - the cashier took notes of all of my special requests and delivered ABOVE AND BEYOND! I definitely recommend this place - I visited 2 days in a row ?Vegetarian options: Potato tacos!! So yummy ?Parking: Just find a spot and walk - well worth it!! Enjoy the exercise :)“
