“Had a burger at Pedroca's Burger and wow, just wow. Super chill place with cool vibes. The staff makes you feel like you're an old friend, and those burgers are legit delicious. The Raposão was unreal – juicy, flavorful, and all kinds of awesome. Seriously, you need to check this place out. It's my new go-to for burgers.”

“Amazing Authentic South Indian food. Sambar is delicious and well spiced.
We also tried Achari paneer Tikka. Moist and nicely grilled. It came with Salad too.

Also tried Mysore Masala Dosa which was so very nicely cooked. Crisp on outside and soft on the inside. My favorite place to eat Food in LA.”

“This was absolutely amazing. I stumbled on it one day from work looking for lunch and I was so pleased to find it! The crepes are amazing. So clean and the food was perfect. The icing on the cake was the amazing coffee I came and had the next morning. I reccomend this to anyone looking for a good savory or sweet option day and night.”

“I just found my new favorite place to order food from. Wow, I am so impressed by the way they operate. Food is tasty, approved by my kiddos is a plus. I ordered after a workout and most places were closed and not very healthy options. Then I came an across this place and it did not disappoint. The prices and portions made a sense.”

“Wow! Blown away by the quality and flavor of this place. We ordered on doordash and everything was so delicious! We loved everything we had: jerk salmon, chicken, rice/peas, Mac and cheese, beefy patties, festival bread, and greens. We will definitely be repeat customers!”

“Really good and authentic Guatemalan cuisine.”

“Nice little place in a corner strip mall. Food is always delicious, and filling. Nothing special to rave about but you can’t really go wrong here unless you’re super picky looking for unrealistic tasting food. I do have to say that the French fries are a sleeper.”

“I have been going here forever I love this place! ? I recommend their Boba and chocolate custard donut ? my favorites! Everyone is always so nice there ? Too bad they close kinda early though. I love Kathy she's so sweet I don't know if she works there anymore ?❤️ Totally recommend this place!”

“So if I would’ve made this review yesterday, it would’ve been four stars all around because yesterday was my first time visiting and it was absolutely a phenomenal choice I made . I ordered the langostinos and a michi. The Mr order the asad plate which he loved and also a michi. I got my food spicy and like I said it was delicious. so much so that I bragged about it to my brother-in-law, and we went back again today and sadly, it was not the same experience in regards to food. My rice and beans were semi lukewarm. The shrimp were not prepared in the way, they were the previous day. I was completely disappointed. It seems like maybe there’s possibly different cooks because I don’t understand. I hope when I return that the food will be just as good as it was the first time.”

“I love Peruvian food and when I see a Peruvian restaurant I have to try it. Had the Lomo Saltado and Papa Hua it was very good !!”

“Dynamite Mediterranean spot located in a Lawndale area ghost kitchen. Everything that I tried here was fresh-tasting, well-seasoned and so delicious! Standouts for me were the kafta kabob and the gyro meat. I was very impressed with the authenticity of the flavors and the loving care put into the preparation and the presentation. And, the accompanying baba ganoush was very fresh and tasty. David, the chef and owner (along with his wife) is very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be returning to try some other items on the menu.”

“If you want the juiciest, sweetest, succulent mixed veggies around please go to Lucky Bamboo Kitchen in hawthorn, Ca. You won’t be disappointed. Take out only.”

“Burgers were great and fair priced. Try the Pastrami Burger.”

“Amo Italia is a solid go-to if you’re looking for reliable Italian delivery in the South Bay. It’s a ghost kitchen on Hawthorne Blvd in Lawndale, so there’s no dine-in—just delivery or pickup—but ordering is very easy. They’re on all the major apps, and pickup is quick (you grab your order from a locker setup).

What stands out is the range of vegetarian and gluten-free options—it makes ordering for a mixed group much easier.

We recently ordered for a small get-together with kids and tried a mix of dishes:
• Spicy rigatoni – really good, probably the standout. Just eat it fresh—it can dry out if it sits too long.
• Pesto pasta , well-balanced, not creamy, nothing overly heavy.
• Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken – a hit with the kids, creamy and comforting.
• Mediterranean salad – fresh, well-seasoned, a nice lighter addition.
• Margherita pizza – simple and tasty, though on the smaller side. One person could easily finish it if hungry.

Portion sizes overall are okay, and everything arrived well-packed. We ordered through Uber Eats (Uber One helped a bit with savings), but pickup is just as convenient.

We’ve also tried their rigatoni vodka before—creamy and good—but this time the spicy rigatoni was the favorite at the table.

Overall—it’s just good, dependable food that works well for family meals or casual hosting.

Would order again. 👍”

“A cozy Filipino comfort food restaurant in a small business plaza. This place has a modern-earthy interior design with smooth chill music playyng in the background and descent amount of seating for those dining in.

The staff is friendly and fast with their services.

I ordered the combo 2 with Beef Kalderetta and Dinuguan, which was pretty good, I was not disappointed.”

“Enjoying my jambalaya tonight!”

“La Palmita food was incredibly fresh and tasted absolutely amazing. You can really tell they care about quality. What made it even more special was the personalized touch. They wrote a personalized thank you message on my box, which made the whole experience feel so thoughtful and welcoming. It’s little details like that that make a place stand out.”

“SO GOOD!!! I’m eating it as we speak but I couldn’t wait to give them a review! Delicious! Feels and looks fresh and healthy! Great flavors! Good amounts for reasonable prices! I’m so so happy I discovered this! Loved the ginger lime sauce!”

“Cool joint. Cold beer! Best tacos every Thursday through Saturday!!”

“Food is amazing! The Adobo pork taco is ?, the Gordita de chicharon is also ?, their fried rice, macaroni salad and teriyaki plate is my favorite! I love that they not only have Authentic Mexican food but they also Serve Authentic Japanese food! It's family owned and everyone was super nice and attentive!”

“Food was cooked to perfection. Staff patient and friendly.”

“Despite some of the bad reviews on here I felt compelled to let people know that the place is really good. This was my first time ever eating at a Wienerschnitzel and I ordered the green chili dog and the Junkyard Dog With all beef hot dogs and they were delicious. One of my kids ordered the Blazin fries which he loved, one of my other son's got the pastrami dog which was also good and my wife got the bacon ranch fries everything was delicious. And if you have little ones my youngest enjoyed his corn dog too.”

“I order the oxtail dinner and jerk chicken spicy but very good. the Oxtail was delicious with rice. cabbage. My husband really enjoyed his food will be back”

“First time here, at Fat Tomato I was craving a slice of authentic New York style pizza. Definitely lived up to standards. Delicious, thin and crispy. Friendly fast service. Will be coming back. Great job”

“Loved the vibes and atmosphere was pretty chill.. Had decent drinks, a pool table, and a touch tunes for music. This hangout spot I think is underrated.. Definitely worth coming with friends!”

“Not a restaurant as announced or expected, but, its a pick up place for food, good flavor. I'll be back. Fast service very good prices. Fresh foods
Thanks!”

“GREAT PLACE TO EAT AUTHENTIC AND FRESH MADE DAILY MEXICAN FOOD. I HAVE BEEN EATING HERE FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS AND THIS LITTLE HOLE IN THE WALL HAS ALWAYS BEEN CONSISTENT!”

“Highly recommend their daily lunch specials, the one on Wednesdays is my favorite because it includes their delicious lentil soup! Their empanadas are the best and are also a MUST, give them a try! 💯% recomendado, sus platos diarios (lunch special) son muy ricos y sabrosos. Las empanadas deliciosas! Súper recomendado este lugar.”

“Had a great meal here !. the pancakes were fluffy and the cheese sandwich was perfectly toasted and gooey. The burger was juicy and very filling. Great spot for a a quick and delicious lunch..”

“Wonderful local bar with great local people.
We were made to feel so welcome as British tourists, and made so many friends quickly.
The bar staff are amazing and a big shout out to Yvonne who was absolutely brilliant.
Thank you all for the experience.
What a great team 👏”

“We love Organico. Healthy options, great deals on Uber eats, and always tasty. Excited to see them expand!!!”

“Always great..half or whole chicken.Good peruivan food.”

“Food on point, bakery on point, I’m comming back.”

“I love this bakery! It is not fancy looking but their food is delicious. I always get champurradas, pan dulce and pan frances. Their tamales are good and their banana bread is also a nice treat. Prices are so low compared to other bakeries so that is always a nice plus.”

“Visiting town and wanted something light, was going for pho next door but no Peruvian buffet on east coast so I was obliged to try despite of having zero expectations, especially seeing it was $20 including tax which is cheap in LA for when ala carte. Was totally shocked by how decent the food taste, especially the grilled chicken and beef stew (decent quality of meat and wasn’t dry) and had to go for second round. Ceviche (made with previously frozen fish is still not bad) and have way more choices than I had expected. I’m not Peruvian or Latin so I can’t vouch for authenticity but it’s an amazing value for the choices (see pics) and quality of food provided. I didn’t get soft drinks so can’t comment on services but it’s self serve so I’m fine with it.”

“Very highly recommend this place, the food was excellent, as if we were in El Salvador! One of the few places that has atole de elote ? Customer service was phenomenal, will definitely be back whenever we visit LA.”

“I ordered the Hawaiian BBQ Mix and overall I’d give it a 3.9/5.
The meat is medium to low quality, but it’s well seasoned and cooked properly.
The chicken was the highlight: juicy and full of flavor 👌

The portions are generous, which I appreciate, although it felt a bit pricey for the quality.
The place is simple, nothing special in terms of atmosphere, but it gets the job done.
The service was excellent: fast and very friendly, a 100 👏

Overall, it was good… but honestly, I’m not sure I’d come back.”

“First visit and I'm hooked. Food was fresh, generous, and clearly not just thrown together. The staff actually seemed to enjoy being there, which makes such a difference. Place had a lovely buzz without being too loud. Walked out full and chuffed. Telling all my mates. Easily five stars from me.”

“So today was our second visit to this small business. Seeing past reviews it can be a hit or miss for some people, especially for long time customers.

So far it’s been a hit for me honestly, the portion given in the Combo B is pretty massive for an individual and it will make you full for sure. And the price is well worth it ($9.49) in my opinion especially with this current economy. Unfortunately they don’t have a lot of entrées to decide from, but the orange chicken and beef broccoli was really good!

Also the female employee who handles the register and serving is fantastic, greets you with a smile as you walk in 👌”

“Best Jamba around and near my home I love it!!!!! The service was great and the smoothies delicious��”

“Delicious 😋... best place for wings!!!”

“Excellent food and atmosphere.”

“Pleasantly surprised... It may have a certain look, but it was actually very good and nice. The overall experience was great. Good and fresh food, the waiter was decent and down to earth and the drinks weren't overly priced. I can see myself going there every time I'm in the area; straight up. It was nice.”

“Our family's favorite restaurant. Dad fed all of our missionarys there with families and friends. It is OPEN”
