“Komal is an absolute standout and exactly what a Mexican restaurant should be. In a city filled with options, it’s rare to find a spot that prioritizes true authenticity and quality at this level. Every bite is fantastic, but what really sets them apart is the salsa—it is the gold standard that every Mexican restaurant should be striving for.

You can tell they put a massive amount of care into their process, from the quality of the ingredients to the depth of flavor in their dishes. If you are looking for an authentic experience that doesn’t cut corners, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!“

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

“I live in Frogtown and I had been wanting to go to Loreto forever and it succeeded my expectations. The ambience was amazing. The food was delicious. The service was excellent. Overall, it was a vibe it was worth the valet. It was worth the money and we had the loveliest server ever. I wish I could spell her name, but she was divine and super informative, but yes, five stars across-the-board highly recommend except for you’re in my neighborhood and you’re stealing the parking. Lol Jk but not“

“Wonderful place Great drinks and food“

“When you walk into Guisados, the first thing that hits you isn't the menu; it's the smell of corn. Because right there behind the counter, they are patting out masa and throwing it onto a hot comal. These tortillas aren't just a vehicle for the meat—they are thick, pillowy, handmade, architectural marvels. They smell like grandma's kitchen, and they are sturdy enough to hold back a flood of heavy, rich stew without breaking a sweat.

If you’re smart, you don’t just order one or two. You get the Taco Sampler—a magnificent, six-mini-taco flight that lets you taste the full spectrum of what this kitchen can do.

The Heavy Hitters:
Cochinita Pibil: Shredded pork leg braised in sweet, earthy achiote, topped with fiery pickled red onions. It’s sweet, it’s sour, it’s deeply savory, and it is absolutely flawless.

Tinga de Pollo: Shredded chicken breast simmered with tomatoes, cabbage, and chipotle. It’s got a smoky, creeping heat that builds beautifully with every bite.

Chicharron: Pork rinds simmered in a spicy green tomatillo sauce until they achieve this incredible, gelatinous, melt-in-your-mouth texture. It’s texture-forward, unapologetic, and fiercely traditional.

The Pescado: For a break from the heavy meats, their grilled white fish served atop black beans with a vibrant cream sauce is an absolute masterclass in freshness.“

“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.“

“Food & service is always amazing! I left my wallet there & the staff helped me retrieve it when they were closed! They went above & beyond to help me -“

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

“We visited El Compadre to celebrate my uncle’s birthday, and overall it was a good experience. One of the highlights was definitely the famous flaming margaritas. They were fun to watch, very flavorful, and a great way to kick off the celebration.

I ordered the enchiladas, and they were rich, tasty, and very filling. The portion size was generous, and I couldn’t finish the entire plate.

The service was decent, but it took a while for the waiters to come and take our order. Also, the complimentary chips and salsa brought to the table at the beginning were disappointing. The chips tasted like old oil and had a strong oily smell, which wasn’t the best first impression.

The food and margaritas were the stars of the visit, but there is definitely room for improvement with the service and the quality of the chips.“

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

“The best tacos in California!“

“Wanted some taco and found this place on the maps with so many good reviews. Had to check it out and I’m so glad I did. The service was very quick. I love cinnamony coffee and their horchata with cold brew was just a perfection. Their homemade tortillas are definitely something that you need to try this place for. Every ingredient tasted fresh, delicious, made us happy.“

“the best food and the best service🙏“

“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! 🫶🇲🇽“

“I tried a mix of dishes here including ceviche, sangria, and tacos, and overall it was a pretty good experience. The tacos were really tasty and came with a nice salsa on the side. They’re on the smaller side but still filling. The sangria tasted authentic and was definitely a highlight. The ceviche was just okay for me, not a must-have. I was still a bit hungry afterward, so I ordered the Camerones tacos, which were bigger and really good.“

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

“Exquisito todo y el servicio excelente yo si regreso“

“Buenísimos las mejores carnitas“

“El Chato Taco Truck:
A popular local taco truck known for its authentic, flavorful Mexican street food. The tacos are made with fresh ingredients and bold seasonings, delivering a satisfying punch of flavor in every bite. Favorites include carne asada and al pastor, with generous portions and well-balanced toppings. The vibe is casual and laid-back, perfect for a quick, tasty meal on the go. Great value for money, making it a must-try for taco lovers seeking genuine street-style eats.“

“Traveling and stopped for lunch with my Dad. My Dad really enjoyed his shrimp Shrimp taco salad but, I didn’t enjoy my Alpastor tacos. But next time I’ll try carnitas, because Alpastor meat had no flavored and the side off avocado needed salt.“

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

“Artisans, but more than that. World class.

No other food has made me feel the way that the magic from this kitchen does. Without exaggeration, Bourdain spent his whole career chasing what's here: the kind of food made by a family with genius instincts, who grinds, ferments, smokes, cures, and pickles to mouthwatering effect. It's nirvana. Every single time.

I think I've had almost everything on the menu by now. Loved it all, without exception. My repeats have included the huevos rancheros and the huarache azul. Oh, the huarache! Blue corn masa, frijoles, suadero that melts in your mouth because of their patience with it (you can tell), all dressed with salsa macha negra and crema. A fried egg on top. It's fire.

The flan con pecanas is Plato's ideal of flan. Silky and sumptuous. The texture from the pecans makes the whole thing feel like a love song.

And by now, I've been here enough times to see the true warmth of the family behind the magic. Not only does it radiate outward from the food at each of the (few) tables, but people also reflect it back to them. You can feel it. That is not a small thing. That is actually the whole thing.

I drive two hours for this experience, and I'd drive more. Go. Drive however far you need to. Leave speechless.“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“A nice place to grab classic breakfast dishes or you can opt for equally as delicious Mexican breakfast choices. The outdoor seating was well shaded, but be aware that you seat yourself. The freshly squeezed orange juice is delicious and tastes absolutely fresh. I look forward to coming back.“

“Me gusta mucho que los productos como las tortillas el chocolate quecillo asean de muy buena calidad lo recomiendo de verdad 👍👍👍👍“

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

“The perfect stop right before or after a flight (or both). The birria and the soup are perfection. It feels so light without the heavy comatose food feeling. I’ve tried several things on the menu and they are all top notch! I can’t rave enough about this place. Best food truck in the LAX vicinity. The owners attention to detail and making sure that his guests are satisfied goes far beyond expectations. The food quality is amazing and it keeps me coming back.“

“Food was great our server Dominique was great!“

“Real good 👍 the staff is very friendly“

“Love the Place, Will join again“

“Me encantan los tacos y burritos de cabeza.“

“atienden muy bien los meseros son muy serviciales todos y la manager pregunta si todo esta bien estan al pendiente en todo momento muy buen servicio“

“I'm from out of town, but have come here twice now. Incredible food each time, and such friendly staff. The vibes are immaculate, too. Salsa & guacamole are both on point.I would be willing to throw hands for the carnitas, perfectly seasoned and crispy on the edges.“

“I decided to visit this place because the photos of the handmade tortillas caught my attention, and I’m so glad I did. The food was excellent! I’m visiting LA and ended up coming here for breakfast three mornings in a row. I tried several different items from the breakfast menu, and every single one was delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. I’ll definitely be back on my next trip to Los Angeles!“

“Excellent black mole! Everything is freshly made. Wait staff is very helpful and kind. Cute outdoor seating area.“
