“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Why the Low Scores?

A Hidden Gem Revealed!

I recently visited Casa del Cocinero and honestly, I can't understand the low scores. While I know they've had service issues in the past, things have truly turned around. The interior has been remodeled and now has a trendy feel with multiple monitors and what seems to be an adequate staffing level. I even noticed a stage set up, probably for karaoke – how fun!

Now, let's talk about the food. I know what I love: the chips and red salsa are always on point, and the **carne en su jugo** is absolutely delicious. I'm a creature of habit, so I tend to stick to what I know, but I'm sure their other dishes are just as great.

Casa del Cocinero has made some serious improvements, and I think it's time they got the love they deserve. If you haven't been there recently, give it a try and support this fantastic local spot.”

“It was absolutely the best Mexican food. Had the best waitress Mallory. Efficient and kept checking on us if we were ok or needed anything. Very friendly too. Food being excellent and a great waitress tops it all off. Thank you and we’ll be for sure!!”

“Didn't expect much at first but their dongchimi and pork ribs were on spot. Do note that their marinated pork ribs sell out so call ahead if you'd like! They also have smaller sizes of noodles to pair with the bbq. Cozy restaurant with delicious food and utmost service.”

“I hadn’t been here since my kids were much younger and the food taste ten times better. I ordered the xl stuffed crust pizza and it was delicious! The only thing is that it’s expensive but the food, service and atmosphere was a 10/10.”

“Decided to give this place a shot and I wasn’t disappointed. Got the Al pastor burrito. It was delicious, wish it had some limes to go with. Got my order fast, the guy behind the counter was attentive and friendly. Will be back with my girlfriend.”

“So greater with so much care and respect! I love the atmosphere here it so great. Customer service was truly phenomenal. My girl and I got noddles and rice with orange chicken and spicy chicken, talk about fresh! Everything was really well cooked, steaming fresh rice, chicken hot and ready . Thank you very much for everything here.”

“I really like this place the food is authentic ambience is great and the people here are super friendly. They offer samples they have desserts and Traditional Indian drinks. I already tried them three times in last 15 days they’re always spot on so I highly recommend anybody who wants to try Indian food”

“This is a food truck with several tables available if you want to eat there or you can take the food to go. The food is fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. I LOVE this place.”

“We've been going here for years, especially during Covid. Needed to make sure that this small business stayed open, owners are very nice and make delicious food!

Wheelchair accessibility: Very roomy for wheelchairs, no stairs anywhere.”

“First off, this isn't a fast food place so expect a wait for your food, because its being made fresh. If you're in a rush call 30 minutes ahead and place your order. With that being said, the food is really good here. The Kofte and hummus were my favorite. Everything I tried tasted really fresh and savory. The Kofte was absolutely delicious. Would come back just for the Kofte.”

“Double Double combo for my mother and myself.”

“Delicious restaurant, I highly recommend it. We came for the first time. We were looking to eat delicious food with children and this place is very delicious. They have everything you want to eat. I will definitely return. The staff is very friendly, fast service.”

“Food is delicious and great variety”

“Nice place, lots of plants and succulents.”

“I love it great people great food and great atmosphere”

“This place is amazing, it’s a different style of burger all together, so don’t expect your traditional burger here. What they offer is much better and full of flavor. The food comes to you hot and the fries are always well seasoned and crunchy. The Jimmy fry sauce is my favorite dipping sauce. We tried the brunch burger they offer and it was massive! This is our second time eating here and they have been consistent in offering great food and great service.”

“Food was great. The wait staff was very poorly trained. Was not sure what roll was what had to remind them to bring items.”

“Nice little hidden lunch gem!

Popped in here for lunch on a Monday right about noon. One other person was waiting for their food so I was helped right away.

I ordered a spam musubi and the spicy chicken plate.

Musubi was up front hot and ready to go. Delicious as usual and not too much rice which I prefer!

Spicy chicken plate was delicious and actually had some kick. And it was so aesthetically pleasing!

Service was quick and friendly, too. Can’t wait to return here for lunch again!”

“One order of French fries is enough for two or more. They are so good. Peak is very generous we the serving sizes. Burgers are good. Pork chops are great. Veggie burger is good. Burritos are big. Lately, they have been forgetting the grilled onions on orders, but I'm sure that's temporary.

Vegetarian options: They will switch out veggie patty on any burger. Patty melt with a garden burger on rye is excellent. Breakfast all day. Not vegan, but we eat veg all the time here.

Parking: Not a ton of spaces, but there always seems to be a few open. They have a drive thru too.”

“Excelente Servicio y muy Limpio el Lugar. Y sobre todo Muy sabrosa la comida. lo recomiendo.”

“I was excited to try their special drinks curated Korean Style milk teas and fruit teas. It was pretty sweet even with 50% sweetness and not much of tea flavor. They have interesting menus like Chestnut milk tea and Injeolmi cream top.

The service was great and they have cute little decorations with Photo Booth that costs $8-10. The theme is great but I wish their drinks taste better.”

“Great food with good prices”

“I will definitely recommend this place. The food is excellent, and the price is very affordable. Even on these days where everywhere else try to cut on portions, here you will get very satisfied. The staff is always friendly. I will definitely stop by again.”

“The chicken teriyaki is bomb!”

“Had a carne asada huarache, it was so good. I also had a chorizo taco which was also very good. My boyfriend had tacos carne asada & tripas, he also tried their liver taco & he loved it & said he will definitely get it again next time. He never eats liver lol so it had to be good.”

“Food and service were great made friends with the people next to us it was their first time as well as ours we both enjoyed everything we got we will definitely be back”

“Shockingly great food, amazingly cheap price. Zero atmosphere, but I'm a blue collar worker on my lunch break, not going on a fancy date. These sandwiches would cost $20 in the LA area.”

“Food was so good we ate here on our 7 day vacation in California, we drove to San Diego and drove back just to get more. 10/10 will return back when I come California again inshallah. The grill tomato with onion is so good and the meat cooked very good. Great service too, very kind staff.

Only downside is the outdated seats and tables

May Allah bless this business , Ameen ??

Dietary restrictions: Mediterranean Food is best for people with health problems , they serve low sodium food with everything cooked with olive oil instead of vegetable oil, very healthy!”

“Very delicious drink, my family really love brown sugar boba milk and classic milk tea here”

“There's not just burgers at this joint. They have tacos and Gyros. I decided to order a taco plate. The rice was light, fluffy, and tasted fresh..the beans also tasted fresh. Unlike normal taco shops, they could have old rice and not fresh tasting...I ordered based upon the cashier's favorite taco plate, the carne asada. It tasted good. Smaller pieces of meat in which resemble ground streak. I didn't find much fat in it. I was able to keep it down. That's a real plus to eating red meat. I was full on 1/2 of the plate and took the rest home back to San Diego.”

“One of my favorite spots in town. The super fries are well worth the price because the portions they give you last for about three separate meals! Also the meat is fantastic and with everything combined in the fries it makes a delicious meal. I would highly recommend this place if you want a lot of food for a good price.”

“I recently visited Enchanted Coffee Bar and tried the matcha tonic for the first time, while my sister had the yuju drink. I'm a big fan of citrus, so I wasn't sure about the matcha at first. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The matcha had the perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness--not too sweet, just right. The space was cozy and welcoming, making it a great place to relax. I'll definitely be back to try more!”

“I ordered a flat white like an hour ago.

In my opinion what makes this spot good is the type of coffee you get. Im no coffee expert but the taste you get is what I call "classic". That straight up coffee taste you know and love. Everywhere else I go tend to favor the more funky natural process coffees. I love a good funky espresso. But to find this flavor profile in a coffee shop around here, or in LA in general is pretty uncommon.

4/5 stars No Drama ?”

“Delicious drinks!!!! Healthy! Customer service is amazing! They are so sweet and knowledgeable about all the products that they use. Their drinks are great for nutrition, but also hangovers! They pump you full of vitamins and electrolytes. My kids also love the protein shakes. Definitely recommended getting a combo as a meal replacement.”

“Hands down my favorite location! Gem and jackie are the best baristas! Not only are my drinks always delicious but the staff is always so friendly and converse with you, it makes my day so much better! Always recommend this location”

“This is a nice ice cream store! I've been a customer of Baskin-Robbins for 8 years and they never disappoint me. There's allso lots of choices of flavors of ice cream there too.”

“Tequila Ceviche was Delicious! Their Craft beer was not only yummy, but nice and Cold. They serve samplers too! The staff was very friendly. I look forward to my next visit.”

“We’re regulars and love their curry chicken dish and pho.

We recently bought one of their products, “Don Chili Oil Crunch”to try at home and it’s phenomenal! I’ve made fried rice with it and also dip all my steamed vegetables in it. Not too spicy, subtly sweet, and the perfect amount of crunch. Will definitely return for more!”

“Love this place. I have been going there for the past 30+ years & the quality of food has always been amazing. Great place to gather with friends & family.”

“Delicious & nutritious cocktails! Great local spot!”

“Right on as of 10/2024 they had 3 different RAD Brewery tap handles flowing. Flung a bunch of darts quietly, rocked out to 90's grunge, I'd say it was cool.”

“Chill bar laid back atmosphere and good drinks but could use a slightly better selection of scotch but other than that good hang out spot with friends and 3 pool tables for ”

“My go to everytime I visit my mom in Buena Park!! Fried chicken and Tteok-bokki are also VERY good!! I love the kimchi, cucumber kimchi, raw marinate crab, and pretty much the whole store. Customer service is always excellent!! The best and most wonderful family owned Banchan place. ❤️”

“Mediterranean wrap + seasoned chicken n feta dressing is fantastic”

“For someone who adores beef, their beef bowl is da bomb, big and juicy just the way I like it. My boyfriend also had the big bros house special and I honestly don’t know which is best cause the sauce is heavenly.”

The owner is always looking out for the Customer I highly recommend Tokyo Teriaki & sushi go check it out it's really good.”

“Food is great, friendly service. Fast service. I especially love the burgers and fries. Their fries are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, just like fries should be, yummmmy ? ?. So why 3 stars on the atmosphere?? Well, the dining area, , in my opinion, needs a little spursing up. Up dates on the tables and floors would be nice. Still, it's good eats. You can't go wrong filling your belly up with their delicious menu ? ? ?
As always, happy eating ☺️”

“Quick service! Owners very nice!”

“Overall a really good wine bar although a bit overpriced but such a lovely atmosphere. Most of time when do end up going there, they have a private event :( my luck but I really love that place! Awesome place to go with ladies or just a group of people plus it is right in the financial district - yeyy!”

“Love shopping at this store”

“This was the first time I had been to Pieology in a long time. I'm glad I did because I had forgotten how good their pieces are and I ordered a salad and it was just as great. When I picked up my order, the gal behind the countertop was very professional and kindly placed my stuff in a bag for me then said thank you for stopping by.”

“Okay I love this place I found it by accident on one of those delivery apps they were advertising on there I thought hey why not never give me a 50% coupon so glad I found it it's my number one new spot now food is amazing prices are great they are really really good my only complaint is when I went in to eat in person they have this hot sauce bar that they're very very picky about I guess if you don't order enough food or if you order the wrong food or if you ordered something different you're not allowed to go to the hot sauce bar you have to order a certain amount of whatever it is you have to order to make it to the hot sauce bar it seems kind of like VIP status and apparently I did not order enough to make it to VIP status to go to the hot sauce bar that was my only complaint they kind of gave me a little stink eye when I try to go to get my hot sauce they were like no I will get it for you a little weird but hey I forgive it because the food was amazing did I mention the food was amazing”

“very good food! I highly recommend Tom's. great deals.”

“One of the most affordable breakfasts we could find but oh man! The portions were huge, we couldn't finish it! Also super delicious. Very happy with our visit. Hope to come back!”

“Food is great but guy at the register named Mario was very rude. After ordering my food I glanced at my receipt and it something totally different. So I went and asked. He said that’s what you ordered. I told him no. I know exactly what I ordered and this ain’t it. His reply was I’ll change it this time. So I told him, feel free to look at your cameras. I know exactly what I asked for. He then went off to say some snarky remarks to the staff working behind the counter.”

“This location has great customer service they all make me feel so welcomed as well as the food they offer it is hot and ready and there service is fast definitely will come back again!”

“Love this place for breakfast especially however today we got Sunshine breakfast plates to go and we're a little disappointed with the miniscule amount of egg that was served. We'll be back but for their breakfast burritos only. Prices have gone up steadily which is understandable but please don't give us the equivalent of one scrambled egg.”

“I love the best chicken restaurant that's similar to a Mexican restaurant, except when the meal cooks fast. Juan Pollo has been around in exact 40 years since 1984 and it's mostly famous for chicken. With the flour tortilla, I can even make it into a burrito, add beans, and potato salad on the inside like a new concoction.”

“You got to try this place. Looks great smells great food is great the service is great but wait why the 4 stars ?? on service (right!!). The hostess needs to find her smile. No, seriously. ? she does greet you at the door but I never seen her smile not once. Not even when we got up to leave. My friend asked about the Xtra rooms as we were leaving. There are two banquet rooms for rent for small parties with a bar that holds only 25 people and the other holds a few more. Not once though this conversation did this lady smile not once. Will I go back ? Yes because she's not the waitress just the hostess and not the cook. By the way, My hat is off to the cook. Happy eating and be safe , kind to others ?????”
