“Isabel me fascina apoyo loco fiesta reunión es lo mejor para cualquier ocasión disfruta lodelisioso de apoyo loco Isabel y familiares diS gritando poyo loco“

“My mother and I stopped by for Taco Tuesday during the lunch rush, and we were pleasantly surprised. Despite the busy hour, we found seats quickly with almost no wait. The service was efficient, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. A great experience all around! Definitely worth coming back for!“

“If you think every Taco Bell is the same you couldn’t be more incorrect! For instance the Taco Bell in Eagle Rock is total trash; the chips taste like they were fried in part oil, part disinfectant spray—the spot has “low vibrations” in that meta way (like a west side person would say). The HLP Taco Bell is by far my favorite in LA—I will go out my way to get food from here (although I do live down the street…). 99% of the time they crush my wild veggie modifications and everything is consistent and super tasty. Plus the people who work here seem to have a sweet work community and are really nice to customers and each other. Taco Bell has always by far been the best fast food chain for veggies and I’ve got no shame admitting among my foodie friends how much I adore Taco Bell, but particularly THIS store. Thank you HLP Taco Bell for making my weird vegetarian visions come to life! Y’all are artists!

P.S. the Taco Bell at Santa Nella on the 5 is also an all-star location.

P.P.S. Del Taco is dumb unless it’s the Barstow Del Taco.“

“One of the most amazing meals I’ve had.“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“Conrad the owner knows what he is doing here. He deserves ⭐. I hope he gets one day.
Food is top tier and his choice to bring the food to you and in order so you get perfect temperature is subtle and appreciated.

Made to order tortillas should be the standard.

I'm just upset I didn't find this place sooner and it was so good. I almost forgot to take a pic of the tacos 🌮“

“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.“

“best food and customer service 🥰“

“Just tried MIRATE Restaurant the food was amazing! Definitely worth checking out if you love great flavors.“

“la comida muy buena,fresca ,buen sabor!! precios rasonables.y todo muy limpio.woow! es mi lugar favorite para comer tacos“

“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!“

“Absolutely loved this place. We will definitely be coming back. We got Citrus Salad, Carne en su Jugo & Carnitas Wow, just Wow!!!!!“

“Outside dining was nice and relaxing… the service was quick and customer service was great.“

“Buenísimos las mejores carnitas“

“Delicious and fast tacos. The restaurant knows what they are doing. The lines moved so fast and I got me food within 5 minutes. They have complementary potatoes which is awesome since they help with the spicy of the spicy salsas. They also have a self serve salsa and topping bar which is my favorite so I can generously garnish and drench my tacos in salsas. We realized this was a really popular spot in this area because it was already 12 am and this place was still really packed. Really delicious and authentic tacos, will definitely come back again.“

“The best food!! 100% recommended totally worth the wait in line! Food is amazing!!“

“Spicy jalapeño cocktail 🍸💕“

“Este lugar se siente como comer en casa — warm, welcoming, and full of flavor. I ordered the taquitos and two quesabirria tacos, and both were incredible. My fiancé got the chilaquiles with beans, eggs, and steak and he was in heaven from the first bite. And the café de olla? Perfectly sweet, perfectly spiced — honestly the ideal way to start the morning. The whole experience felt so homey and personal, like someone’s abuelita is back there cooking with love. A couple of things to know before you go: it’s cash only and street parking, so come prepared. But trust me, it is completely worth it. ¡Muy recomendado! 🫶🇲🇽“

“Guisados offers delicious, authentic Mexican tacos with rich flavors and high-quality ingredients. The menu features a variety of hearty fillings, all served in a casual and vibrant environment. The staff is friendly and attentive. Overall, a great spot for satisfying Mexican comfort food.“

“The best tacos in California!“

“I'm not a local, so didn't really have a clue where to go to get something to eat. We looked at the listings on Google Maps, and had actually decided to go somewhere else. We parked and walked passed Guisados on our way to the other place, looked at the specials and checked out the inside and decided to stay and eat here. I am so glad we did. I had three of the street tacos, carne asada, shrimp, and a Chile Rellano, all of which were delicious. The horchata was fresh and sweet, and perfect for taking the little bit of spicy edge off. I highly recommend this restaurant. If I was local, I'd be going back regularly.“

“Exquisito todo y el servicio excelente yo si regreso“

“El gran sabor de las tortas de Neza en Los Ángeles ca.“

“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.“

“We had an amazing experience at Good Clean Fun! We reserved the patio for a small work event. The space was so nice. The food was delicious. I loved the pizzas, honestly some of the best I've had. Their wine selection is great, and they make a great Hugo Spritz.

Also, I have to shoutout Hunter! She was an incredible server. She was so kind, attentive, and flexible when our plans changed.

I wish I lived in LA just to be able to come here regularly! I'm looking forward to coming back whenever I visit.“

“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“

“the fish is fresh and yum. not flakey fish.“

“Me encantan los tacos y burritos de cabeza.“

“I had the cochinita pibil and poc choc and they had incredible flavor! The toughest part about this eating area is that all of the restaurants here are very tasty, but that being said I Super recommend Chichén Itza. I would definitely come back“

“pasamos de pasadita guiados por los reviews y nos sorprendió los mejores tacos de birria qué hemos comido. recomendamos al 100 por 100“

“This place is great! The food is delicious, and more importantly, the customer service is excellent. The staff is very attentive and makes you feel welcome. The prices on the menu are reasonable for the quality you get.
It’s located inside a shopping center, which makes parking convenient, although it can depend on the time of day. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained.
If you’re around the Eagle Rock area, this will definitely be your spot. They also serve Mexican food, which is a big plus.
I definitely recommend this place!“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

“Muy buenos taco’s deliciosos“

“Joselito’s is such an amazing restaurant! I had, probably, the best carnitas dinner and chips and guacamole (made fresh to order) I’ve ever experienced. A must go to whenever in the Tujunga area.“

“Perfect for these dog days of Summer.“

“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 were greeted by a friendly staff and received super-fast service. The food was delicious; I ordered a quesadilla de chorizo y papas. I do wish the chorizo had a more pronounced taste, but overall it was good. The Pambazo had a great taste, and each of the salsas provided had a distinct flavor, which I truly enjoyed. The aguas are made in-house, and you can genuinely taste their authenticity. We will definitely be returning when we are in the area.“

“Muy amable el personal y la comida muy rica 💯 recomendada 👌🏼“

“We came to visit our daughter at CSU Dominguez Hills, and were looking for a spot to eat. We looked up some local spots and Guajillo popped up. We were not disappointed with the Chilaquiles! They were delicious and made to order. The food was plentiful and filling and reminded me of my mom's home cooking! Highly recommended!!!“
