El Colmao Reviews
This is the best Cuban spot in L.A. I’ve been coming for years and have also tried other places like Versailles and a couple in Glendale. El Colmao takes it all!! Authentic and the service is great. There’s a reason why so many Latin stars have enjoyed the food here. Parking is free and convenient.
Such a lovely, wonderful place, with sweet wait staff and great food. If I lived closer, I'd be here all the time!
It’s such a beautiful diner! The food was amazing and the people there are so kind! I’m glad we found this place! Plus the music they place is soo good🌟
