One of my favorite restaurants in LA! The food is delicious and made fresh. It is owned by a lovely family that are super kind, and you can tell they love cooking and serving food. They have a full vegan menu too. Just finished my lunch and I am already looking forward to the next time I get to eat there.
They also do catering/large orders so keep them in mind for big gatherings.

Mama's is an institution! They're committed to helping the community. Not only that, but they have the best tamales in town. They taste home made. Not only the traditional ones, but also 6 different vegan options to die for. Parking can be tricky in that area, but this place is worth the slight discomfort.

Dietary restrictions: Many Vegan options, not just vegetarian!

Yummy vegan versions of traditional Salvadorian food, prepared by a mother-daughter due plus other family members. Good selection of Mexican dishes as well. They have a fully vegan menu in addition to the regular one, not just a few options. They are proud of their vegan creations and understand what plant based means, unlike other restaurants with vegan options but not lt much sympathy to vegans.
