The app was not functioning properly for me while trying to order food. So went in person before it's crowded. It is now crowded and I still haven't received my take out food. The people eating inside seem to get fed first before take out. That's what it seems though with the wait time being 20 mins when I ordered right before the rush. The lady had an attitude saying nothing and just putting it in my hand because I was standing waiting for my food to finally. Jokes on her it's more comfortable for me to stand due to my disability although I was annoyed at the wait time.

Our family was just exploring the UCLA area and decided to try this restaurant! The place is nice ans clean with comfortable chairs. We ordered food and pay. Then wait for the food at our table. All the food is great! Fresh and good portion!

It is a great place to get good food quickly in a nice atmosphere before going to explore the city more! Well, a margarita during the day of city walking is great! ?

I enjoy their salads and the Tierra tacos are great, if you like mushrooms.

If you are sensitive to spicy food, just check to see which sauces they might want to add. Everything is easily customized.

They are also disabled accessible ♿



Vegetarian options: The base of their dishes are vegan. They also have vegan cheese.



Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible entries, dining area, and bathrooms

Have been wanting to try this place for some years now and finally did…overall? It’s fine. Not amazing but not terrible, either. Not the most seasoned but it tastes clean. If you’re looking for a healthier fast-food spot, this is a good place to go.

We got the vegan taco combo and all the tacos were great! This place had a nice vibe and decor and the crowd mostly had students.They have indoor as well as outdoor seating. There is a paid parking garage right next to the restaurant which operated at $2 for 12min besides street parking.

Does not accept cash. Pricey for the amount of food they provide imo at $16 for a bowl after tax.

Quick-style eatery in Westwood, close to UCLA. One orders at the counter, pays cashless, gets a number, and the food is brought to your table when ready. The salmon bowl tasted very good and had a bit of a hot kick to it. At $17+ a few cents, it was decently priced for the LA market. I went there to bridge the time between performances in LA and Westwood

Guys in the back, be careful with mixing boards ordered tacos and some of those tortillas kind of tasted like churros? I hadn’t eaten all day, so I was hungry and still ate them but just be careful. Also, was waiting for my order & had to go up to the counter to check the bag if the order was mine for csr to approach. I know not all CSR are equal but it wasn’t busy inside (as for deliveries I don’t know) but some attentiveness helps. Especially with parking, I could only find the 15min spot and was hungry so hadn’t eaten all day so attentiveness goes a long way. It’s a double edge sword if you tip you may not get the service. And if you don’t tip you might get screwed over. Can’t really win. Sometimes I wonder if service equals tipping? Even though I didn’t tip on the digital system, I tipped cash. Sometimes cashiers don’t notice but I guess you have to make it obvious or you get a bad experience. I try to tip as much as I can but I don’t have the luxury especially in this economy so I try to at least do the 20%. The struggle is real….

Ordered the grilled pineapple bowl and the protein bowlRecommend the grilled pineapple bowl! the flavour was on point and the pineapple adds a really good sweetness to it. Was not a fan of the protein bowl as everything was too starchy and heavy.Nice decoration & atmosphere

Ordered a quesadilla and a gluten-free burrito after a ten hour plane trip. This hit the spot! The gluten-free burrito was the first burrito I've had since having a gluten allergy, and it was as good as the regular ones I used to have. I had to stop myself from inhaling it; if I had been eating it any faster I would have lost fingers. Highly recommend.

Fast service and nice atmosphere. A bit pricey. Got the grilled pineapple al pastor and burrito mexicano. Rice was a bit crunchy and portion size was on the smaller side.
