“Best authentic Sri Lankan food I've come across in US. They serve a variety of Sri Lankan specialties including regular home-style rice & curries, lamprais, kottu & Sri Lankan short-eats. Huge portions for the price we pay. Looking forward to trying their Mexican food as well. Heard their Mexican food is so authentic & tastes great!“

“Homemade tortillas are one of life’s greatest inventions, and Guisados proves it. Everything tastes even better wrapped in one.

I’ve been back many times for the tacos and quesadillas, and the flavorful salsas tie everything together perfectly. The service is always friendly, it’s the kind of place that keeps pulling me back whenever I’m craving tacos.

Another bonus: there’s both a parking lot and street parking, which makes the whole experience even better.“

This place has one of the best pastor tacos in LA. Their meats are well seasoned and are not dry. Their salsas have great flavor and heat.

The lines can be long but it is worth the wait. You just can't beat this place when it comes to taste, quality, and price.“

“This place has really good authentic tacos. The Asada was cooked perfectly. The lady gave us chips with frijoles and salsa while she cooked for us. It's a tiny little shop that has a few benches to sit at. The price was really good. If I lived nearby I'd come here all the time. Don't sleep on this place.“

“We ended up at Sol Agave because our favorite Mexican restaurant from last year had unfortunately closed. It was already quite late, and the restaurant was only a short time away from closing, so we were not sure whether we would still be able to order food. Fortunately, the staff welcomed us and made sure we were taken care of.

As we often do, we chose seats at the bar. The bartender was very friendly, attentive, and professional, especially considering the late hour. Our drinks arrived quickly and were enjoyable, although they were good rather than exceptional. The food followed soon after. My tortillas were unfortunately a bit too floury for my taste, while the fajitas were perfectly decent and flavorful, but again nothing that really stood out.

Since closing time was approaching, we finished our meal rather quickly. Overall, everything was fine and met expectations. We genuinely appreciate being served so late. However, considering the quality of the food and drinks, we felt the final bill was a little higher than expected. In the end, Sol Agave was a solid experience, but somewhat overpriced for what it offered.“

“great place to eat some of the best fish tacos!!!!!!!“

“The best spot for Mexican food in Santa Monica—home-style cooking, with everything made when you place your order.
The prices are good, and best of all, every dish has a delicious touch that ensures you’ll come back again and again. i being coming head since they opened up.“

“Love the Chicken Nachos so much food it was enough to feed 2 people. They're tacos ate great too. Love this place!“

“Our sandwich was amazing! The salsa verde was extremely fresh, the bun was toasted to a nice crisp and the sandwich was delicious. We honestly didn't know what to expect when we pulled into the strip mall where it was located in Van Nuys. We were pleasantly surprised and we will come back!“

“fantastic service! burritos were amazing. small and intimate. thank you! we'll be back again.“

“Love the food and the ambience! Relax and friendly ! The new one in Playa Vista is worth going even if you don’t live in the area!“

“Although this was a call in order. The person who took the article was very helpful. It seems every time I order my dish. It does not come with the same robust sauce as when I eat in.
I also would suggest securing the food a little bit better than just a plastic bag“

“10/10, asked the server for his recs and they were all awesome - 5 stars for service as well. They also have WiFi and outlets if you’re looking for a spot to work that also has great food options! I got late breakfast here after 11 AM which I always appreciate!“

“I buy their tamales at the Tuesday farmers market at CSUF. I find it insane that they have to drive an hour to get there... but I'm thankful because the tamales are super delicious. 6 Dollars per tamale, and they're a good size that can fill you up with only 1-2. The beef tamale is my favorite. It's a bit spicy, but the flavor is so good along with the outside. The outside bread (?) is my favorite part, somehow. It's very soft and somewhat moist.

I like to share some with my cousin after class. Even after sitting around for the whole day, it is so good and soft after a minute or two of mircowaving.

I've bought from their stall multiple times. It is very addicting! They also offer you salsa if you prefer that with your tamales.“

“Tijuana Grill is one of the best spots for Latin American food! The chef is incredibly talented and every dish is full of authentic flavor. The staff is welcoming, the restaurant is very clean, and the atmosphere is great.

Definitely try the tortas, burritos, and beverages — you won’t regret it!“

“This is a family favorite, I’ve been coming to this restaurant since the early 2000s.

Excellent comfort homade style meals. Portions are big, prices are low. Service is fairly fast even when busy.
Employees have always been kind & patient.“

“At Villanueva Mexican Restaurant, embark on a salsa odyssey that elevates the ordinary to extraordinary! Their legendary salsa bar, a carnival of flavors, turns each bite into a fiesta. The shrimp fajitas, while promising a flavor explosion, waded through a sea of gravy, a twist in our culinary tale. Though this unexpected plot thickens our journey, the salsas alone make Villanueva a treasure worth exploring. It's a solid four-star adventure, where every dip transports you closer to Mexico. Dive into Villanueva for a taste escapade that’s almost perfect – just watch out for the gravy waves!Recommendations:Their salsa bar!

Vegetarian options: Few vegetarian items“

“We've been coming to Baja California Tacos for years. The shrimp and fish tacos never disappoint and they are at an extremely affordable price. The ceviche is always fresh and there are many options to choose from. They have parking in the back which is always a plus in LA.“

“Please give George - who I renamed GMoney - a raise! In all seriousness, he made me (a California newbie) feel so welcome and happy while I was out here visiting my daughter... beyond words. He was amazing and nothing like the East Coast bartenders I’ve been used to! A wonderful night was had because of him!“

“Wonderful place to eat and engage in good conversation because of the atmosphere/setting. Staff extremely polite and friendly. Food is definitely worth the visit !
I frequent the Wilshire location in Santa Monica every time i get the desire for next level Mexican Food . 🏆🏆🏆“
