“Sol 626 is truly special. The menu offers a good variety of dishes, and our server was very knowledgeable about the ingredients and the origins of the recipes. Ambiance and service were exemplary, but the food was the real star of our evening. We tried the salmon, carne asada, and enchiladas with both red and green mole sauces. Each of these plates was perfectly prepared. Such amazing flavors! I also ordered the jamaica agua fresca, and it was delicious and not too sweet. I highly recommend Sol 626.

“My husband and I just tried this place tonight and it’s so good! We ordered the revuelta, been and cheese, and plain cheese. They were all full of flavor. Would definitely come again.“

“It's been a few months since we've been there. My husband doesn't care for it as much as I do. I told him let's please go and I would treat him. I was craving their beef hard shell tacos. They were closed because of July 4th holiday. Apparently, they stayed closed for a couple of days afterwards. He said that is why he feels that they don't stay open long enough for business. If you notice their hours. However, their food and atmosphere is amazing. As well as their service. One time, we ordered for pick up. They were so nice. They threw in extra chips and salsa. Needless to say, I was kinda disappointed that they were closed. Next chance I get, I'm going back. Vrfig“

“I discovered this Guatemalan restaurant that by the way opened its doors a few months ago, when I was helping my sister pack for her move to another state, we came to eat a little late but we received a very pleasant surprise, the food is super tasty, the restaurant very clean and the attention is very friendly. The prices are very affordable and the portions are generous.
I have always traveled to Los Angeles for Guatemalan food but there is no longer a need since this restaurant promises. I hope the community gives them their support.“

“this place never disappoints. the food is amazing and great service“

“Food was delicious! Pollo, Al Pastor, Carnitas, and Asada tacos (names of tacos are pronouns) were fantastic. If I had to rate one first place it would be the Carnitas, a very close second was the Al Pastor. The restaurant was busy and bustling, the staff were super friendly. 4 tacos, a 500ml Mexican coke with a large bottled water was about 17 bucks. Great prices. They do not accept cards, so make sure your ATM card is in working order. Mine is a bit old and it took me a few minutes to get it to work. Definitely want to go back here.“

“Another time we were at BODEGON 69, it was a wonderful experience where everything that is expected for calcification was combined such as a great restaurant, service, atmosphere, food all excellent, but if that were not enough the owners Mauricio and Sandra showed us their usual gratitude for our visit but also with incredible generosity, surprising us with the unasked for preparation of a Peruvian snack in addition to a dessert that is not on the list and that Mauricio in charge of preparing it at that precise moment. Thanks for everything Sandra and Mauricio. A very strong hug.“

“My favorite brunch spot. I regularly drive here from Pico Rivera just to have their coffee lol. BEST cafe de olla I’ve had from a restaurant. Super friendly and attentive staff and amazing food. My favorite dish is their chilaquiles and adding chorizo, eggs and avocado. Sooo good. Parking is sometimes hard to find only bc this spot is so popular on weekends but there is street parking as well.“

“best chicken ever tender ,juicy crunchy! mmm!“

“This is the place to go if your Hungary. Great homemade by hand plate by plate one at a time. Lots of regular people here and some personalitys too. Three 75" tvs on the wall for sports watching, big bathrooms. The food is of the hook here everything is the bomb. Lots of choices, lots of food for the money. And everybody is family here and everybody knows your name kinda place. Always a satisfying experience here.“

“We rarely dine in, it is usually a take out. Saturday's or Sunday's, we highly recommend their Menudo or Weekday's their 7 Mares , it is delicious and pricing is not bad at all. However, be aware that if you take out then no tortillas will be included.“
