“Best Seafood Restaurant in LA“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“Me gusta la comida pero no tienen q perder el cuidado en la presentación de los platos y asegurarse q lleven todo eso es muy importante aun tengan mucha junte haser los platos con la misma cuidado de ciempre“

“Amazing food and atmosphere“

“Came here for the 1st time after years of driving by. We got the sampler knowing it was small tacos, but assorted fillings, which is perfect. Also, we ordered a pork tamale, ceviche tostada, cochinita taco, and chile relleno burrito, all items were on their cute chalk board, no prices though.
Everything we tried was delicious and fresh, some of the tacos didn't need salsa, but highly recommend you get all of them. The ceviche tostada was a refreshing bite after those spicy tacos, I almost ordered another, but had to try the rest. The tamale was crumbly(?) dough like we prefer and the chile relleno was also good in comparing it to other restaurants around there, but not as hearty as at a burrito place.
We will be returning to try other items and more ceviche tostadas.
Parking is hard to find in the area when street sweep passes, but there's a public lot a block away you might find parking or bus it.“

“The food is absolutely delicious! We could eat here everyday. Best empanadas we’ve ever had. The service is amazing. Catherine and her family are super friendly and they clearly put so much love into their dishes.

A must have if you’re in the area looking for flavourful Mexican / Ecuadorean cuisine.

We will definitely come back here!“

“Octavio’s passion project is simply one of the best restaurants in all of LA. Styled like an impeccably artful, primarily counter-seating neighborhood restaurant of the sort you might find in Tokyo, Ceviche Project is a labor of love by a guy who puts together creative raw bar, crudo sashimi and ceviche courses with great care and attention to detail. He also serves a mean Michelada and has an excellent wine selection. I’ve been following his career ever since he was doing ceviche pop-ups in and around LA, and have watched his skills grow and evolve over the years like a sushi master, but for ceviche. He also spins an awesome selection of vintage Latin American vinyl to set the mood. Can’t recommend Ceviche Project highly enough!“

“The food is delicious. Give this place a try!“

“Had a great meal here before a show at the Paramount. My husband had fajitas and I had the potato dish with added rosemary potatoes 🤩. I couldn’t finish mine - very filling but absolutely delicious. The proprietor is welcoming and helpful. We will definitely return and I will make more sensible choices!“

“We've been meaning to go here since it opened and finally made it with a family member visiting from Michigan. Everything was fantastic including the drinks, seafood, and chips/guac. We plan to visit more frequently! The best part of our dining experience was when the staff reminded to go outside at the perfect time to view the lunar eclipse!“

“Best seafood I’ve had in years!“

“su calidad de comida buen sabor Chapín un pedacito de tu tierra en el extranjero no te lo pierdas excelencia“

“Taqueria y Restaurant Los Amigos is a great local spot that offers authentic, homemade-style Mexican and Latin American food. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with a comfortable neighborhood feel that makes you want to come back. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care, with generous portions and satisfying taste in every dish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient, creating a smooth and pleasant dining experience. I especially enjoyed the variety on the menu and the overall value for the price. It’s the kind of place that feels genuine and reliable for a good, hearty meal. I would definitely recommend Taqueria y Restaurant Los Amigos and will gladly return again.“

“I was in search of a good Chile Relleno Burrito and Google Maps suggested Calimex. I'm so glad it did! Easily one of the best I've ever had. The poblano chile was the star of the show. It was fresh and green, didn't taste heavily fried or buried underneath a ton of cheese. And the rice and beans packed a ton of flavor. Great flour tortilla too. It didn't look like the flour tortillas were homemade, but they were so fresh and delicious they could pass for homemade. Definitely a labor of love, the whole family is back there in the kitchen having a good time together and making incredible food. Will be back! Looked like a popular gathering spot for families and groups.“

“One of my favorite restaurants authentic Latin cuisine. I have been coming here for over 30 years and was so sad when it closed down during the pandemic. So glad it reopened! Can’t wait 😜 to go back. I give it 5 stars for sure!“

“Visited Sincerely Yours on Friday night with a few friends and had a great time! The atmosphere was grown and sexy, the doorman and staff were amazing, and I really appreciated the clean bathrooms. The music was on point, and the flow in and out of the bar was smooth. Highly recommend—definitely coming back soon!“

“Quick and easy small place to get takeout. I'm not sure if the ham and cheese empanadas I got were suppose to have a small amount of filling. I will give them a second chance at some point and hopefully that amount I got was just abnormal.“

“David was amazing and came to our table at the perfect times. Food was incredible!! Background music was fun and at the perfect volume. The views were great! We were seated in the lounge and could carry on a conversation. Was a perfect evening!“

“Just had my first ever burrito at Mixto and it is fantastic. Support local restaurants if they are still open <3 #vegan #silverlake“

“Best savory empanadas in town!

They’re big but not cheap. Most are more than $5 each. They’re packed full of food though! They are aesthetically pleasing - especially the spinach and cheese one.

The spinach and cheese empanada is their best. It’s a masterpiece! It’s really flavorful. Great spinach taste! The ham and cheese empanada is also very good but a bit greasy. I’ve tried some of the other empanadas and they’re good too.

The deli part of the restaurant has all kinds of Chilean goodies! Like wines!

They have a deli and a restaurant. I haven’t been to the restaurant in a while but the food is good there too.

Parking is a problem but they have a lot in the rear.“

“Viaje a California de Seattle Wa, comí en el churrasco Chapín Riquísima la comida y el servicio muy bueno súper recomendado.“

“The truth is everything. Das has the best Mac n cheese and the Ribs n Brisket are the best in the West.“

“Variedad de productos para fiestas y taqueros“

“Superb food. Friendly service. Arturo is, perhaps, the best taquero in LA! We drive from the south end of Downtown very often just for these. If you do visit, the al pastor tacos and their breakfast burritos. Incredible!!“

“la comida simplemente deliciosa soy mexicana pero definitivamente la comida 💯de 💯“

“I absolutely love coming to Tierra Mia their drinks are always spot on just amazingly tasty! I got to try their new flan frappe today and my goodness I can't put it down! The customer service is always great super friendly staff. Place was pretty packed but they were quick with the drinks, I was not waiting forever. There's many places to sit and just enjoy the day chilling with your drink and/or significant other. There's always plenty of parking at this location so that's never an issue either.“

“My new favorite place! So healthy and right sized portions. This was my first visit. Easily navigated the kiosk and liked how I could customize. Food came out super quick. I had the roasted sweet potatoes and the chicken bowl with the green goddess dressing. So delicious! I will be telling my family & friends.“

“Buenos mataniños. (Y)“

“buenisima comida..100% recomendable..buen servicio...“

“A lot of people ask about the tamales, chuchitos, pupusas and the like and this is a very good place. They also have champurrado and atole drinks. There are natural flavored waters made of real fruit. Here is where the famous bacon wrapped hot dogs are sold with onions, jalapenos peppers, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise and the option to make it spicy. The place has natural homemade beef and chicken soups, grilled fish, fried cauliflower, shrimp cocktails and other foods and meals.“

“‽??????????????????,,????“

“Muy buena la atención gracias 😊“

“I’ve been here a bunch of times and it’s always such a mellow and easy place to spend time with my friends. The people that work here are so real and unpretentious. Totally my type of vibe. Thanks nativo you guys are dope“

“Love this place, makes me feel like I went back in time...Definitely a hidden gem! The food: chicken wings, pizza, pasta, etc... any foodie would appreciate. The selection of beers � and wine � are varied and last but not least, the SERVICE, we are spoiled Everytime, the staff goes above and beyond! I highly recommend stopping there before any type of LA event.“

“$3 fish tacos on wednesdays are pretty good. From the overall size not some mini version taco and the tortilla the fish tacos are served on they dont get soggy by the time you get home. Also they serve it with a sour cream/crema not mayonnaise like some places do. The fish itself battered with a light tasty crispiness overall a valued deal.“

“Got a Perico , cheese arepa and a Taqueno.

Perico was nice, the sauce really carries the arepa. Without the sauce everything lacks flavor but has a good texture. Cheese Arepa is nice if you dip it in sauce but otherwise is a basic item that doesn't stand out. The same goes for the Taqueno, its not a bad item but it doesn't really stand out in any way. Cheese pull isn't good and in the end it reminds me of the pillberry rolled dough with some cheese in the center.

Atmosphere-wise doesn't really stand out. the Red and white color scheming is fine but doesn't stand out at all and the lack of AC means its a bit too hot for me to enjoy given the currently hot weather for the area.

All in all for the price, its a decent place to get a quick light lunch. Outside of that I find it a bit hard to recommend. The size of the Arepas is fairly small so keep in mind you may need 2 to feel decently sated appetite-wise.“
