“You can tell the food is going to be amazing when the chips and salsa are spot on. I went with a group of six, and we ordered a variety of dishes to share, giving me the chance to sample several entrees. My top picks were the ceviche marinero, langostinos, camarones a la diabla, and the tacos gobernador. The only area that could use some improvement was the service. Our waiter only checked in when we placed our order and when the food was delivered. We had to get up to request napkins and order additional drinks.”
“Had a wonderful time trying this place for the first time today for my sisters birthday . One can taste that the ingredients were fresh and quality . The pasta dishes were Al dente and homemade 🥰 loved the Italian salad , fried crunchy chicken cutlets and the dessert (bread pudding) was so delicious ! Every server was delightful and it was kid friendly !. (But no changing station :( ). The portions are not as big ,however , the authenticity made up for it . Go try this place now !”
“We stopped here between Universal Studios & LAX after finding them via a Google restaurant search. The food was delicious. Large portions & big mugs of cold beer to tame the spices. We loved the friendly & casual vibe. My silly kid enjoyed being creative with the injera bread & what kid doesn't love the opportunity to eat with their hands... on purpose!”
“My food was good. Price wasn't bad. Portion was large, but the guy that took my order should have stayed home that day. He was dry and useless. No customer service skills at all.”

“Had some time before flying out of LAX, and found this place thanks to Happy Cow. Since it was a Saturday, I couldn’t pass up the breakfast plate that is only available Saturday & Sundays. I was NOT disappointed. Delicious all around. This could have fed 2 people easily. Would love to go back and try more of their food.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“I love it here. Tiny spot so reservations are a must. Plenty parking in the back (aka the Ralph’s parking). Everything I ate made me happy. The appetizers are worth every penny and every bite is an experience. I followed suggestions I saw on social media and the hummus and lamb app with , a jollof platter (plus a couple other plates I loved but can’t remember) did not disappoint. The staff is super knowledgeable and nice so they can help you make a decision. One cocktail and one glass of wine made me wish I was going out after but it was a Thursday and I chose sleep!”
“Vegetarian options: Wonderful drinks like the Persian elixirs, Fresh chopped vegetables with rice plates and hot lentil soups.
Dietary restrictions: Vegan options available.
Kid-friendliness: Very nice and friendly staff.
Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for wheelchair and mobility equipment to the Restaurant and the outside Dining area.”

“The location of the restaurant is smack center of downtown GSU, a young and vibrant, busy little area reminiscent of a ‘baby Manhattan’ but with nicer people and eco-friendly eateries. The interior is aesthetically pleasing with a black and yellow color scheme throughout the establishment, coordinated seating areas for dining in, and simple yet impactful decor with the background story of Mr. Fries Man framed along the walls. The atmosphere was welcoming and extremely professional and the fries themselves were everything! I had the shrimp and steak fries and they were fresh and hot, the steak cut into perfect bite size bits, the shrimp cooked perfectly, and the sauce a delicate balance between sweet and savory to tie it altogether *chefs kiss*. Overall perfect restaurant choice for anyone but especially college students and young professionals who want a satisfyingly delicious, quality meal without breaking the bank.”
“This is a storefront shop that also sells packaged food, such as noodles and chips. It's rather plain inside, with simple tables and paper serving ware, but very clean. I tried the murtabak (like a fried stuffed pancake) and a noodle dish that was deliciously different, with hints of lemongrass and something spicy. I really like the noodle dish, and will back to try the curries. I also had a wonderful mango lassi, which I recommend.
Service was friendly, and he gave me some water while I waited.
Parking: The building on the corner is vacant, so I parked there, and the restaurant said it was fine.”
“Great local brewery that really focuses on the beer. So much better since they expanded the outside seating. Great food trucks/stands that come in, friendly staff. A bit “hop” heavy selection if that’s your brew, would like to see more lagers, ales etc but doesn’t take away from a 5 star review”
“Me encanto el lugar muy rico todo la pasamos de maravilla. Y fue lindo ver a personas que aprecio y q estimo. Muchas gracias ❤️👍😄”
“Absolutely the finest Soul Food. You don't want to skip this place. I had the lunch portion of the Oxtail and chose the Candied Yams and Mac and Cheese as sides. It came with 2 Cornbread Muffins. It was all delicious and filling. I ordered the Coconut Pineapple Cake for Dessert. It filled the container. See the picture. Totally Recommend this place.”

“Excellent food, great service! I have a severe gluten allergy and was able to choose from almost anything on the menu which is extremely rare!
Dietary restrictions: Almost everything gluten free. Lots of vegetarian options as well.
Parking: Parking lot behind building with a couple spots.”

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
El Colibri Juice and Snacks is hands down one of my favorite spots.
Everything there is truly amazing—you can taste the freshness and care in every bite and sip. It is a family-owned business, and you really feel that warmth the moment you walk in. Whether I am grabbing a quick treat or just need a little pick-me-up, El Colibri never disappoints. I am so grateful to have a place like this in the neighborhood!”
“The flavoring were superb. The customer service was above average. Great location. I will definitely recommend and return.”

“We loved the vibe of this bar! The atmosphere was very nice and quiet when we went in the afternoon. The bartender was very welcoming and friendly. We felt comfortable.
The drinks we got were delicious. My partner loved the lavender martini. I got a jalapeno margarita and was blown away by the balance of flavors. Very delicious drinks at a great price during happy hour. I would love to come back here.”
“I am hooked on their stuffed baked potatoes. So far I've tried the BBQ baked p, and the Mexican baked p (fave so far). The service is pretty good, I usually call to avoid online fees and pick up in 20 min. The pizza is good and surprisingly the ribs were tasted too. I didn't take pics of everything but planning on going today for something new and will def take pics. heard the lasagna was good and will grab another stuffed baked p and something else new off the menu.
Oh, the prices, In 2024, the prices beat everyone in town. the baked potatoes are $7 and change but HUGE and lasts the next day. Glad I finally decided to give it a try. Some of thenolder reviews do not do this place any justice. It is not gourmet food by any means, but good tasting food at a very reasonable price!”

“Great customer service. And loved grilled fish better than fried. FYI don’t wear a chiefs hat in an L.A establishment ( raiders) customers will talk trash. �”

“Great food.. bad service! Server seemed out of it ? my food came to my table and no utensils. I waited a couple of minutes for the server (only 1 server?) to come around but no luck. I got up and went to the front counter to get what I needed. I was really annoyed at this point. Keep in mind there was only one other table dining in so it wasn't busy or I would've been more considerate.
The food is great but you guys really need to improve your service.”
“I never write reviews but literally set my slice of cake down (really hard to do) because I had to run and write a review. Hands down the best chocolate cake I have ever had in my life! Please support our awesome local businesses! Great customer service and vibe inside! Will be back more than I should because it is THAT good!!”

“Well, first of all, thank God for life and health and for the first part of the country from here in Los Angeles, California, they treated me very well, kindly and with respect, and I hope to God that they continue like this, with kindness and polite staff, thank you”
“I ordered Bionicos and a Cinnamon Toast Crunch Milkshake. My daughter loved the milkshake and still keeps talking about how good it was.
My bionics was great! I was able to eliminate the fruits I did not want (any melon), and the cream was good. The portion size was great and I could not stop eating it. Me and family look forward to eating there again.”
“I went in to get a beef patty, I was greeted with a smile. That's a big deal to me because they were pleasant and welcoming ,like they appreciated me stopping in, they thank me for purchase , I will be back again.”
“I ordered the turkey tacos and a cocktail 🍸 to go. My tacos was 🔥🔥🔥👏👏 and the drink was good 👍 😋 👌”
“EDIT: MUCH BETTER! So much better! The drastic improvements to the service coupled with the delicious food made me change my review from 1-star to 5. My husband is obsessed and he’s not even nigerian ?.
Mama Veronica, you have done well.
*original review below from 2 years ago*
Worst service in the history of worst services. I placed an order 2HOURS in advance, drove all the way from Orange County to pick it up in Inglewood (if you from LA you know how bad that drive can be) only to be told one of my main orders isn’t available and I would have to wait ANOTHER 40mins for the rest.
Lady, hire more cooks, prep beforehand or something because this is ridiculous. I wouldn’t mind waiting usually because the food is good but wait AND be expensive? Not coming back here again. Food is good but the hassle is not worth it. At all.”

“I’ve tried many many many wings over my lifespan and I could say nothing compares to the wings here at wingopolis! So fresh, so moist, and packed with flavor! The Owner/Chef is very hospitable and is definitely passionate about his family recipes! This is a must stop for anybody in the Inglewood area!”
“?? JALISCO MÉXICO (via Eat the World Los Angeles) - If you read through the thoughts of commenters online about Taquería Millo and the carnicería it is connected to, you will get a much different experience than the usual rubbish. Instead, you get a feeling for the long history of this Lennox staple and the people that have been coming here since they were kids.”
“She is always a nice person . Food is decent but portions are a little small as far as meat is concerned . Being from the east coast we have plenty of island cuisine . And it feels good to get some in Inglewood. All she has to do is offer a bigger selection of food . Normally it's just one Jamaican dish to choose from and bean pies and the normal soups and American food . All are great. Just wish she had a bigger variety”
“My sons and I stopped in without any prior knowledge or recommendations. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! We were served home made chips, black beans, and salsa at the table, and had two baskets of chips!
My sons ordered the carne asada tacos. The steak was tender and savory. Traditional style “street” tacos BUT with a hefty serving of steak.
I had the fish tacos plate. The fish was grilled and seasoned tilapia, with homemade sauce and salsa. The three tacos were packed with fish. The rice was phenomenal and the refried beans were outstanding.
I normally don’t eat tilapia yet this was the best preparation I have had.
It truly feels like you’re treated to inside someone’s home, as the service was excellent and the food scrumptious.
I just wish I had tried more dishes and taken pics!
Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space at the tables, with comfortable seats.”
“This was my first visit to Burrito Caliente but I can assure you it won't be my last. One of the best Mexican restaurants in LA. I lived briefly in Mexico and lived in a loft across the 4th St Bridge in Boyle Heights. The ladies at BC are friendly and masters of customer service. It's easy to overlook this restaurant on Crenshaw in a small kiosk. Please take the time to go there. You won't be sorry.”
“Excellent service and very good food! They make the scrambled pupusas very well and the chicken cakes are very good too. Very friendly service; We will definitely eat here again, first God!”
“Los mejores mariscos que e probado en el sur de California una ambiente muy agradable y la comida lo mejor”

“Had a caldo de res and a taco de asada! Salsas were delicious! Everything was so good! Authentic!! The lady that served me was amazing! Sweet! And felt like my mom was taking care of me ❤️ she was so attentive! Prices were good serving size for caldo was huge! Thank you ladies!”
“One of the BEST Mexican food spots around here. Very affordable food; 2 burrito combos, a torta, and the taco combo and they all come with chips and a salsa cost $32. You can’t beat that price. Food is honestly really really good and great portions too! This is our go to spot, and of course they’re always friendly too so that’s a plus! 🙂↔️🙂↔️”
“Enjoyed Friday night 9/16 live music, food, drinks & great service. 2 wks later we reserved the VIP rm for a memorial and repast service for 25 guests. Marsha delivered everything we asked for and it was wonderful. It was a bittersweet day because our 32nd anniversary was 9/29th. But the love shown for our sisters life was priceless.”
“My quick, quick, quick LOCATION right here close by me! Those PRICES are well WORTH ittt!!! An 🤗 Oh yessss, that DIRTY RICE is the BOMB!!!!”
“So I went to Sizzler. The waiting was a bit long, but they've offered me a free salad, which was very nice.
I had a New York strip (or what is it called) and it was a big piece of meat, more medium then medium-rare I have ordered. The thing is, that I would anticipate it to be more spiced. Like some rub or something.
The meat was good but I expect the taste, otherwise cooking a steak is quite easy.
If you want solid piece of meat and not looking for well seasoned, then it's great price / value.”

“I have been wanting to try this place out for quite a while now. I stay downtown Los Angeles, so it’s a bit of a distance to drive. Since the closing of the Vuuka lounge downtown, there isn’t much of a choice when it comes to African cuisine. Yesterday, which was Sunday I finally had a chance to try it while on break at work. I placed my order online and picked it up from the restaurant myself. I ordered the jollof combo plate and peppered goat soup. Both were very delicious and well seasoned. I did not sit and eat inside the restaurant, so I can’t really tell you guys how the atmosphere is but what I can say is that it is definitely a place everyone should try”

“The service was great the gentleman name was Bryon he was very smart and on point. He was by himself but he had the right music playing and a smile on his face. My food was great the server suggested I try the j*** salmon with fried rice and cabbage excellent choice. He also mention Patties which I never had before wow they were good. I appreciate his patience because it was serval occasion were people just walked up trying to order while I was sitting down ordering. Overall great experience I’ll be back soon!!!”
