Restaurants in Lawndale

“Dude absolutely freaking delicious. This is my 3rd time coming to this place. And every time I come, I am craving the cocktail with shrimp and octopus. It taste so fresh and so home made.

The place is always crowed with people ordering. It's a small establishment, but very well organized, super clean and with air conditioning on which keeps it cool inside. Next time, I am going to try the shrimp tacos, as many order them.”

“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.”

“Love this place!
It’s immaculately clean and the food is first rate.
Whether you want something sweet or savory, you’ll not be disappointed.
If you’re looking for a meal that is different from the every day fare at most restaurants, you really should stop here.
The presentation is top notch, too… The meals are as beautiful to look at as they are delicious
Great coffee, too.
Service is kinda slow, but that’s really the only thing that’s off the mark.
The owner lady at the counter is welcoming and sweet.”

“I’ve had pho in about 6 different states. This was the best I’ve ever had! Bravo! You guys deserve it! Thanks for letting us visit! 🍲”

“Really enjoyed the dishes, ordered a broken rice plate (amazing), vermicelli, pho, spring rolls, Vietnamese coffee and flan (awesome). Everything was delicious, I would say the spring rolls were sort of bland so they should enhance those somehow. Other than that I'd eat there again and the staff were delightful!!!!”

“Love the service and food. A true gem in the south bay.”

“corner joint is the spot for drinks and food... and to kick back just try there food any u can't go wrong”

“Fantastic healthy food. I had a custom quesadilla and they packed it with the meat and veggies! I think it was likely the best I ever had! I will definitely be back, worth the price for yummy organic food!”

“Excellent food!!”

“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 love the delicious and tasty food. The staff is friendly, social and attentive. Service is fast and efficient. love them.”

“Got here and WiFi was down so they never received my order but when I came in they immediately got on my order and offered me fries. Everything was perfect and delicious my favorite lunch spot”

“Amazing first impression. I don't normally write reviews for a first experience, but this deserves an exception. I got their chicken Alfredo, and have a garlic allergy. He was able to accommodate it which took a little extra prep time, and I still felt well after eating. The portion was large enough it made for an excellent leftovers lunch today, too. So good! I can't wait to go back for this item again. The restaurant is mostly designed for take-out, and I appreciate seeing the A rating in the window and cleanliness of their food prep area. I am interested in other menu items, too, and hope to order again soon. I appreciate how wonderful the food was, and the ownder's kindness to be able to accommodate my unusual request. As soon as I submitted the online order, he called me to verify my order info was correct. Two thumbs up for me!”

“What a gem in the middle of Redondo Blvd! Family owned bakery with comfort in every way. Went in to grab a quick breakfast before a gig nearby and was blown away by the bagels! It smells of Indian Spices, warm and comforting, and I loved their bagel sandwich so much I savored it. My husband could not contain his love for his sandwich and gobbled it. The workers/owners are amazing! So kind, lovely customer service and very cool! What a great local spot for sweet or savory! If you’re a tea lovers their Masala Chai was HEAVENLY! I got it iced since it was so hot today, but I’d imagine it’s delicious any way they serve it! Perfection! What a treat on this workday! Will happily go back next time I’m in the area and honestly can’t wait to try their sweets!”

“Family brought in the best”

“Great price for good food. Ordered a yummy $10 pork belly bowl, simple and filling. Not a ton of content for big eater, plenty for a 20 something man on his lunch break. Seats are plentiful, chairs unusually comfortable.

Parking — loads of space in lot.”

“Really good and authentic Guatemalan cuisine.”

“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!”

“Great bar, awesome bartender!”

“This was a great spot for Mexican seafood & molcajete. The tostada flight platter was great to try all the types of ceviche. Our favorite was the fish and shrimp ceviche. The octopus was decent too. The molcajete was the surprising favorite. The asada was grilled well and flavorful, the shrimp were great, the chicken was tender and juicy and soft, the chorizo was good and the broth was very good. The cactus and cheese and green onions were also excellent.

The servers sat us and gave us complimentary chips and salsa which was decent. They were very attentive and friendly. The margaritas we got were fruity and sweet but also decent alcohol. I liked my strawberry margarita.

The atmosphere is very chill and homely and lively. Seems like large groups come here to eat and drink.”

“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.”

“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 !!”

Plenty of parking and places to sit in a very relaxed atmosphere.

“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!”

“Ordered this for breakfast via Uber Eats and it was fantastic and reasonably priced even after Uber mark up. Got the tacos for myself and the carne asada and al pastor were delicious. They would be even more delicious at restaurant. I’ll order this again next time I have layover at airport again.”

“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”

Súper recomendado este lugar.”

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 👏”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The staff are friendly and fast. The food is above the bar. Their mixed bacon and sausage breakfast burritos are off the hook and combined with their hot Spicy homemade salsa it’s simply the best anywhere in the South Bay. Try it with avocado added and I bet you’ll be addicted too!!”

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

“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 👌”

“I absolutely loved this place. The setup is just amazing! Keeping our Mexican tradition going. I ordered chicken flautas, everything was made from scratch! The best flautas I ever had! My taste buds wanted more but I was too full. I’m definitely bringing my family here! I already pinned it down. Also, high five to the owner, as I believe it’s a family own restaurant, the young adult that took my order has excellent customer service. I even saw a teenager helping by pushing a dolly while unloading some drinks. His not stuck at home playing games!!”

“5 star experience reduced to 4 stars due to the customer service. Requested 2 to 3 packets of chili spice and NO ginger
Received 6 chili packets and 8 unwanted ginger packets.”

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