Best Katxupa, pastel and Canja I've ever had. (Don't tell any of my family I said this) I don't ever have to make any of these food items in my home kitchen again. Thank you Cape Green for bringing Cape Verdean food to Los Angeles. Take out is a bit stressful due @ the temp location. My friend and I ordered 46 mins ahead of pick up and when we arrived they told us they only had enuf pastel for one of our orders. Disappointing, but they accommodated well after I brought light to it. I'm coming back soon June for my gratis order! I look forward to dining inside when the official restaurant is open! I'm excited to share the food and culture with my Los Angeles friends and family. Brandon and June are incredible chefs. Enjoy, and try as many menu items as you can. If you have tastebuds, you won't be disappointed.

I have been looking for a Cape Verdian restaurant in LA for a long time and they satisfied my hunger. The Katxupa was bomb. Had a good spicy taste. We need more Cape Verdian food in LA!!

Cape Green's hospitality made it feel like I was picking up food from a family member! Not to mention their Katxupa and Pastel de Atum were so flavorful, filling, and a great representation of the culture of Cabo Verde! Smelled and tasted just like Mama's cooking. Definitely returning for encores and to try out the rest of their menu ! If you're ever feeling hungry, I highly recommend Cape Green!

Absolutely delicious! I ordered food from here and it was all excellent. I had the katxupa which is the national dish of Cape Green, it was so good and flavorful, I highly recommended. I also had the Cape Green fritters....to die for! It was the perfect appetizer. And last I tried the Cod 'n Cream by their recommendation, AMAZING! Very rich and tasty, so good. Their customer service is excellent too. I asked for recommendations and they were very helpful and really nice. Overall, a very pleasant experience. Delicious food. Highly recommended.

Oh my god. People. This place is out of control. My girlfriend is part Cape Verdean and found out about this place and wanted me to experience the cuisine. We both loved it. I am so impressed. The food was excellent. Highlights were the tuna pastels and Katxupa. Also, I need them to start jarring that orange garlic sauce and selling it. That s*** was ridiculous. Presentation was also amazing (for takeout). You can tell they really care about their business. I hope they thrive. Please check it out.

I have been looking for a Cape Verdean place ever since I moved to LA and haven't been able to find one until now. This place is so good!! It tastes just like my grandmothers cooking and is so authentic. We tried about half the menu and all of it was consistently amazing. The wings are so tender and the sauce is one of the best sauces I've ever had. Their katxupa was amazing and their canja made me feel right at home. The pastels are also 10/10. Please check this place out especially if you've never tried Cape Verdean food! They're a great business

Man oh man. It warms my heart to write this review. I'm a Cape Verdean woman from Massachusetts & grew up getting authentic cachupa from my relatives' kitchens, or from local restaurants in New Bedford. I can't remember the last time I had authentic Cape Verdean food since before moving to LA, but boy am I THANKFUL that I found this place. I ordered the "Katxupa". This soup is flavorful, hearty, comforting, and soulful. It has a little bit of heat but just a kick, nothing anyone can't handle. The meat was tender & not super fatty. Seriously, you won't regret ordering this. My boyfriend ordered the steak & my god was that delicious. Tender, savory, and again flavorful along with the rice & peas it was paired with. Don't even think twice about ordering from anywhere else, or hesitate when ordering, whatever you get is guaranteed to be 100% amazing & worth your money. I bow down to the chefs & families, and ancestors behind this establishment

Gave this guy a Lyft one night super cool hooked me up with a steak plate & a chicken bowl, food was amazing.
I am a Postmates delivery person, and when I came to Cape Green, I was completely impressed! The kitchen was extremely clean and by my surprise, I was able to try some of the food they are serving. I believe there is a huge market, in Los Angeles, for food that is of other cultures that we are unfamiliar with as a whole. I am so blessed to have been able to experience the flavor of Cape Verde, and EVERYONE should experience their tongue jumping for joy!!! You will be in the heavens when you taste this beautiful medley of spices. 5 stars, all the way!!! I can't wait for the future of this restaurant!!!! Great work my friend!!!

Everything about the Cape Green dining experience is exceptional. The people who work there, the service, the presentation, the food itself, even the song selection they recommend while eating. We ordered the steak and chicken entrees, both amazing. The side dish that comes with the entrees is so delicious and reheats *really* well if you save it for leftovers. All the apps are delicious. My partner is desperately in love with the chicken potato app, to the point where he orders his own serving now so he doesn't have to share. Of course, the churros are literally the best thing I've ever eaten in my entire life. Both nutella & dolche de leches are fantastic. Cannot go wrong! You can order online ahead of time and pickup whenever is convenient! LOVE CAPE GREEN!!!

The food is amazing! Never had Cape Verdian food before but I will again. Steak and tuna are crazy!! June and his kitchen were so welcoming and kind. The churros will blow your mind! Definitely coming back

?? CAPE VERDEExcerpt from Eat the World Los Angeles:You will also want to try katxupa ($18), the national dish of Cape Verde. This is the spelling in Cape Verdean creole, the oldest still spoken creole language in the world! Often you will see it spelled cachupa in Portuguese.The stew is made up of at least two types of beans, hominy, cassava, sweet potatoes, collard greens and cabbage, and that is before adding chorizo, pork ribs and belly, and Portuguese linguiça. As you can imagine, it is a hearty dish and the portion could fill up just about any one person.

A piece of home right here in California. I’m loving life. I live to far to pick up but that hefty Uber cost is so worth it. From the Katchupa, to the pastel, now the bacalhau a natas is next level great. Let’s talk about the fun, sweet staff who clearly love what they do and it shows in the way they focus on the marketing to attract people of all walks of life. Makes me proud to promote them to my friends and what a great way to show our fun Cape-Verdean flavor. I am a happy girl. To this whole team, from the chef to the marketing team, to the whole friendly staff, thank you for the ?? excellence.
