“Must try if you are looking for delicious authentic birria. It's a cute-humble family owned establishment that serves very tasty dishes. My favorite was the consomé with tacos dorados. I do wish they had a spicier red sauce but overall was great. It hit the spot on a Sunday afternoon. I especially liked the fact I could dine-in instead of the typical food truck. I can't wait to come back and try more items. Thank you familia Castro.“
“Food was alright, i make better food at home) Got the OG burrito and wasnt impressed, the portions are average for the ridiculous prices being street vendor are crazy, the green sauce kinda made me go a star up. i love to be fair in my reviews and this is a bit over. Food price for a street vendor -1“
“Excellent service and food the triple cheese burrito is one of the best breakfast burritos I’ve had. Service is also quick and staff is always friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommendParking: Parking behind the building is convenient and free“

“Honestly probably the best mariscos I’ve had! I love the aguachile! The mariscos pieces are always plump and big, they really don’t skimp out on it. The owner is so friendly and willing to help you decide what to get based on what you like. The vibe is really chill with music always playing and tables to sit and eat at. Such a fun vibe. But the best thing about this place is probably the spicy red sauce. It goes good on everything! Seriously the star of the place, I crave it randomly all the time. Can’t recommend more!“
“The brisket, pulled pork and bunt ends were great... for LA. The brisket was well seasoned and very tender (almost too tneder], the pulled pork was soft and a good mixed of stringy and chunky pieces but a little too dry and the burnt ends were juicy. The garlic bread was tasty and the cornbread was tender and not too sweet. The homade bbq sauce variety was nice, including the mustard sauce for the pulled pork and maple bbq sauce.For the sides, the garlic potatoes were tasty but the mac and cheese was average because it was too thin and lacked en I ugh cheese taste.Service was quick and efficient.“
“Love this eatery! Great food, amazing service and love the laid back atmosphere.Parking: A bit difficult to park along the main streets and don’t really know the residential area parking restrictions. We tend to come here on Sundays to avoid have parking issues ?Kid-friendliness: Great menu selection for the kids and includes a beverage“
“I first want to note that if you're going to Wesley's don't look for a store. He runs it at a food cart on the sidewalk across the parking lot from the Planet Fitness. For payment it's Zelle or CashApp. The crepes are so large! I would say the toppings are traditional sweet crepes - strawberries, bananas, nutella, dulce de leche, whipped cream, chocolate, caramel. Everything is made to order, which make everything nice and warm. My only regret is that we brought them home to eat, don't get me wrong they were still delicious, but I'm certain the crepe would have been an even better texture if we ate them immediately. Would highly recommend!“
“So good! I tried a number of menu items and loved each. The shrimp soup was perfectly spicy and packed with wonderful flavors, the appetizers (hot wings and chicken skewers) were outstanding and my entree - pad see ew with beef was just perfect. The service was ideal - helpful fast and informative. I'll definitely be back very often!“
“I came in today in a full blown hunger meltdown I was welcomed and accepted by the sweetest man who pretty much held my hand through the menu and helped me pick out some things for me to scarf like an actual goblin. IM SO HAPPY I stumbled across this place. It was delicious from the wraps to the grape leaves and even the hummus!!! Thank you so much random sweet man. 10/10“
“Very impressed. Super clean. Super friendly staff. One of the better tacos I have ever had. Lot of varieties. Six different salsas. Unlimited side dishes free. fresh drinks. The meat was very juicy. We had carne asada and beef tongue and brisket and chicken.“
“I've driven past this cafe so many times and didn't even realize that there was a hidden gem there! Came in for lunch and was greeted by a sweet woman who took my order. It's definitely a mom and pops joint so you'll feel right at home immediately. I ordered the chicken shawarma with salad and the chicken didn't disappoint! It was tender and flavorful, just what I needed to satisfy my appetite. I do have to say that it's a small spot so there is no restrooms available for customers but if you're getting your car washed, you can use the one there and walk over.“

“Although I’m writing this review for this location, this is just my review for The Stand as a restaurant overall. That said:This place is great. Their burgers aren’t world class or anything, but they’re a far cry better than any fast food joint not named In N Out (and even then I’m debating if The Stand burgers are better). Fries are crisp, seasoned well, and the entire meal comes in an adorable little tray. The hospitality is also something to take note of. Soon as you walk in, you’re greeted by a TM with, “Hi! Welcome in.” That by itself shows this place treats you not as a customer but as a guest. This is the Mendocino Farms of burger joints in my opinion. Nice sit down place with a number placard. They deliver your food. Everything is a la carte so it will be a tad expensive if you want the full shebang of entree, side, and drink. But for what you’re paying for, the food is for sure worth it and they do ensure guest satisfaction here. No need to bus your table because they’ll do it for you. They even have a sign that literally asks you not to clear off your table and just let a TM handle it. Great music selection. TVs provide something to look at and watch while you wait for your food or eat. A large menu. From steak bowls to salads to sandwiches to burgers with a build your own burger option. Even the desserts are just something to really sink your teeth into. I don’t frequent The Stand a lot but whenever I do, it’s pretty great. Great food for the price you pay, best customer service, and just an overall pleasant vibe. For The Stand in general…Grade: A-“
“Came here for dinner with the boyfriend & pup. It was a chilly night and we were seated on the patio bc the dog was with us, but the heaters kept us perfectly warm (I'm always cold & was concerned about that ). The food is southern comfort, but not so heavy. I had the chicken pot pie. It was creamy but also kind of light, and had plenty of chicken & veggies to fill me up! My partner went with the chicken fried chicken. He ate it all and was very satisfied! Good for brunch or dinner with family, friends & pups :)“
“WHOAAAA!!! No lie the burgers are so good. 8.5 on the burgers for sure. The meat is so tasty and seasoned right. The sauce with the pickles and onion take it to another level. For being a street burger they know what they are doing. I recommend you going ASAP.“
“Great dining experience!!! Great tasting food, we had sea bass with the shrimp skewers, we loved the food. Sides of zucchini, rice & slaw were great. Fantastic service by Adela and Danny. Both were very friendly and very helpful!!! Thank you both. Will be back soon.“
“Found this on a search, the food off the truck was off the chain. From tacos with guacamole plus everything else to vampiro the taste was delicious & authentic. As we drove up we witnessed customers eating on their vehicles, so when in Rome do as the Romans. I haven’t eaten on a car since my teenage years, and there I stood at 60 being the old wild one of the bunch. Excellent food, a must try for both residents & travelers!!!“
“This was my first order from here. I could just tell that they do care about their customers. I love Pad Thai I know it's like the most basic thing but not everyplace can hit it. Everytime I order through Postmates or door dash from different places that would be only 15 mins away, The Pad Thai would just get so dry and got no flavor when it gets to me eventho there would be a request saying "please make it extra saucy" no one seemed to ever listen. But Delish Thai Kitchen CAME THROUGH with the extra saucy and so much flavor. And they even left me a note I really do appreciate that you did that. Thank you Gonna be my favorite place to order from now.“
“Only came here once but I loved the vibe! The food was tasty, albeit a little small portion-wise but its more finger food than big hefty meals. You dont come to eat, you come to drink their wide selection of brews. Service was friendly and let me taste their beer to narrow down what I was craving, great experience. Will definitely be returning.“
“Really great pad see ew and good service. The soft drinks have free refills and come in huge glasses so that's a plus as well. The restaurant was quiet and the tables were a bit close together, so that wasn't ideal, but overall def worth it for the great food.“
“This is a hidden gem. These guys are super friendly, accommodating, and provide amazing service. The food is superb and it reminds me of some of the famous food trucks in the plethora of other countries that I've visited. The prices are fair and the amount of food you get for that price is astounding. Great work guys.“
“Birria tacos at the best.#1 for me in LA for birria tacos.Because it's so good better just put simple ingredients (onion, cilantro, spicy chili salsa for consome if you like spicy) and enjoy the flavor of real birria consome. Real deal. Fish tacos were very nice as well. Everything is really fresh.“
“Cute coffee shop with plenty of outlets and wifi!!!! That's my jam!! I ordered a matcha latte and it was also delish. There is some kinda recording studio so there will be some music in the background if your trying to get work done. Plenty of street parting but its meter parking. Cool art on the walls makes it even a cooler place to visit!“
“The UC Bahn Mi chicken sandwich & adult grilled cheese 10/10.Both were extremely excellent. Unique in flavor/quality, perfect meal size portioning and competitively priced. 10 out of 10 points for both sandwiches.Urbane Cafe has a excellent variety of healthy food options for all dietary restrictions.This location also had, excellent customer service, a clean/new establishment environment and a polished feel.The sandwiches were still warm 15 minutes later when we got home and the smell of the sandwiches in the car while driving home really stood out to both of us.First I will speak of their new "UC Bahn Mi" sandwich which I ordered for myself. It is extremely unique in it's flavor profile. The portioning was perfect, the amount of sauce on the sandwich was perfect, the sandwich was filling yet felt like a healthy light option.Tastewise, my tongue felt this sandwich was an artful expression of local and exotic world flavors combined perfectly at once.Hands down, I would recommend getting this sandwich over all others if this is your first time coming.Also, all sandwiches come with a quality side salad of spring mix, a couple Mandarin orange pieces, feta cheese sprinkle and balsamic oil and vinaigrette mixed dressing on the side.It's my first time coming here and the food is extremely fresh and the flavor combinations in their sandwiches are spot on. During our visit we purchased two sandwiches so I cannot speak of anything other than that. However, if the food that we got is a good representation of the unique flavor profiles of the rest of their food then I would rate their menu an A+. I give top scores for presentation, flavor profile, unique combinations, freshness, menu options, and customer service. Also, apparently you can get extra sandwich sauce on the side which comes in a pretty large portion cup.We placed a to-go order at the register around 2:30p they are fairly busy & it took about 12 minutes for our food. They bake their sandwich bread inside what looks like a large brick type open oven as a pizza place would do. When you order a sandwich, your bread is pretty much baked to order as you watch. They're able to do this as the sandwiches use a flat bread style.You place your order at the register they give you a number and you can wait anywhere in the cafe where they will bring you your food regardless if it is for here to go.It appeared as though it was the manager who was filling the roll of expediter, inspecting, packing & running completed orders to guests.I have to hand it to the person that was handling this at 2:27pm 3/8/24. This gentleman was extremely friendly, gracious, professional, warm, welcoming & part of why I would come back sooner.Please, pass on to him how noticeable good he is at the things that he does.I left feeling like I had made a good decision to go there and I would like to come back. The guests in this location appeared well put together with a mix of middle and lower classes.My final comment is not one directed to this establishment itself. My only complaint, if you can call it a complaint, is the general cost of eating out. The final bill with two sandwiches, each coming with a small side salad automatically was a competitive $24 which is a tidbit too high for me. The cash register uses a system to ring you where you are automatically asked to accept or deny leaving a tip to which paying customers likely never appreciate.The location seemed steadily busy at 1:30 in the afternoon on a weekday but not so busy where it was uncomfortable or a noticeable wait for food. There is plenty of seating inside and out with umbrellas outside and a fenced-in patio which is across the street from a park. It's very nice location where Inside the establishment I saw a nurse on her computer on her lunch break, families, professionals on lunch breaks and just local people or couples out getting lunch here.The seating arrangement inside is extremely variable from cushioned bench, booth, chair and high barstool style of seating options. The patio is very larg“
“We stopped here on our way out of town and I am SO glad we did! The food was amazingggg and our service was great. We had the cajun chicken & waffles and the breakfast burrito. Both were delicious! I will definitely be coming back next time I’m in the area!“
“I love this place. The food is great, the coffee is very, very nice and the staff are kind. Their patio is comfortable with beautiful artwork. I love the value it adds to the neighborhood, having somewhere nice to relax in walking distance.“
“This little coffee shop is hidden away in a small strip mall, but don't let the location fool you. I ordered their caramel latte and chocolate croissant. The latte was delicious - just the right amount of caramel to espresso and milk ratio. The chocolate croissant was mouthwatering - so flaky yet soft, with the perfect amount of chocolate. The shop itself has a vintage vibe to it. I usually grab a spot at one of their sofas and cozy up with a good book. The baristas are such lovely people that are great at what they do. I'm always greeted with a smile. I recommend this little spot for good coffee and quick eats!“
“This was a fun horror themed coffee shop. I loved the décor of the place and the overall theming was great. This was a fun, unique coffee shop with great service. I had an Iced Bride of Frankenstein - Pistachio Green Tea Matcha Latte and it was tasty! There really isn't any seating inside, but there are several outdoor tables. I would visit this place again if I am in the area.“
“this has got to be the BEST pizza in the valley. i don't leave many reviews, but this place is really something special. i've always envisioned my perfect pizza, and this place has got it down. their sourdough crust is so tasty, and the different kinds of pizzas make it easy to choose which one you want because they're all so unique and delicious. the guy running it is also so nice, i've only come once and im surprised he remembers me! if i could eat pizza every single day, i would come here. 11/10 p.s. i would suggest checking their instagram page in case they're set up at a different spot. when i came they were set up at a brewery and it was the best combo.“
“I'm a former nutritionist. About a decade ago, I was using GG Scandinavian Bran Sprinkles. I haven't been able to find them anywhere recently. After an extensive search, I came across Lo Carb U Foods. They had what I wanted in stock & purchased 3 bags. The following day, Jose called to let me know that they only had 2 bags of the sprinkles, but would supplement with crackers, which are the same thing. I'd just have to smash them up to get sprinkle consistency. He also refunded me 10% of the purchase price for the inconvenience. It was so thoughtful! A week and a half later, I still hadn't received my order, so I called and reached Jose again. He looked into the system and saw that the order had been shipped, but there was an issue with the USPS tracking. He spent a day getting transferred from one person to the next and finally found out that my order had been destroyed in transit! He called me back to let me know that they had packaged more than enough of the crackers to cover the damaged order and were FedEx'ing it to ensure that I had it the following day. I have my product and... WOW! Am I impressed with the conscientious, professional and friendly customer service. It doesn't get better than this. Thank you Jose and Lo Carb-U for getting me back in touch with one of my favorite dietary products and for going the extra mile!“
“This place is hand down my go to pizza spot. Always tastes amazing and never fails to deliver with the perfect dough and cheese every time. My go to is the jalapeño pepperoni and the potato skins!! They are to die for!! Great customer service!! I can only say great things about this place 100% recommend to friends family and anyone who eats little ceasers, Pizza Hut, dominos....etc...“
“This was the most surprisingly amazing breakfast I've had in a long time. Venezuelan delicacies to explore and experience for everyone in a cute quaint area of NoHo. Tasty food with outdoor seating. Great staff, cool vibes, tasty food, a must try!“
“We got takeout for a work event at the Hollywood bowl and everyone loved it! I’ve been such a huge fan of La morra and they never fail to deliver an incredible product. I can’t wait until they have a proper restaurant, it’s going to crush!“
“The server was really friendly and polite. The manager, who I overheard talking to grumpy customer, seemed really cool. The food was good, portions were pretty good too and the prices were fair. The environment was just a bit cramped. Oh and their music was awesome, I shazamed like 5 songs.“
“With less than a weeks notice they took our reservation for 30 on a Saturday night. Our group was traveling from Washington State and selected this restaurant based on Google reviews and location alone and we were not disappointed. Our junior roller derby league intends to be back in the area at least once a year and this will absolutely be our go-to team dinner spot on future trips. Food was delicious and service was excellent! They really made our group feel welcome and we all left full which can be hard to do with a bunch of teenaged roller derby players after a game day!“
“Great Staff, always willing to help and be patient with customers. The food is quality and the service is 10/10. They keep the parking area really clean and they have tables/chairs to sit down. If you are looking for birria de Chivo or Res you have found your new spot ! This is authentic Birrieria food truck that you don’t want to miss.“
“Enjoyed my experience very much! All the staff were very helpful, and also very nice! The smoothies are very delicious! I also ordered the cheese bread and soup, and they are very good as well. If I lived closer, I would definitely visit more often.“
“The birria is the best ive had period!!!I have tried many spots but this place beats em all! And its always boooom for me consistency is key and they always surpass my expectations. My monday hangover gets crushed with the consome and that fire hot sauce. Recomend it to everyone.“
“We enjoyed everything we ate during our dinner at The Front Yard. Be prepared to spend some $$$, but the quality of the food supports the rate (especially in LA). I had the brussel sprouts, 12-minute cheese biscuit, the filet (with tasty mushroom sauce), and smashed fingerlings. I wasn't wild about the fingerlings, but everything else was SUPER yummy. I also enjoyed the blackberry cocktail, and one of the cabs they had on their wine-by-the-glass menu. My fellow diners enjoyed the deviled eggs (not my thing), the bacon-cheese biscuits, the tagliatelle, short rib, and mushroom flatbread. They also had the strawberry cocktail and the Garland 1972. Everyone really enjoyed their meals, and it was a nice place to catch up with old friends while we ate. I would highly recommend getting a reservation, as it looked like there were quite a few folks waiting for tables when we arrived.“
“My family loves this place. We’ve been coming here for years. Both my mom and my mother in law both ask to go eat here every time they visit! That’s the sign it’s good. My fave is the foul madams, but we also always get kabob and hummus with meat, along with salad. The garlic sauce is amazing!“
“Good breakfast joint with friendly service and a simple but satisfying menu. Very attentive wait staff.Vegetarian options: Lots of egg options for breakfast.Parking: Pretty busy but parking is available.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly with kids menu.“
“10/10 food (presentation/taste/portion) and service! First time trying Firehouse and the quality was exceptional. The guys were brilliant and noticing we were from the UK really went above and beyond to make our stay in town/onward drive that much better with their tips. Really down to earth team.

“Love seeing this truck at various events around LA! Definitely one of the best vegan trucks out there. Spicy Chick'n Sandwich - AMAZING! The patty was a seasoned, breaded, and fried oyster mushroom. Literally so so delicious! Perfectly filing and a substantial meal. Can't wait to see them again to try more of their menu!“
“For me, the menu highlights are the grilled meats, jambalaya, gumbo. I saw how the Pit-master grilled the meats. He was very clear about no shortcuts or rushing the process.The jambalaya and gumbo were the best items I ordered today (11/11). I will definitely order these again. They were the best I ever tasted. Perfectly seasoned with high-quality meats, and very good. It’s the best I’ve ever tasted. I’ve only had commercialized gumbo and jambalaya at chain restaurants.I didn’t order any grilled meats. I anticipate the grilled meats being tasty because I tasted some of the meat in my gumbo and jambalaya at it was good and cooked to perfection.The sides were disappointing and I will not order again:Mac and Cheese:A little dry. Too much salt, too much unmelted cheese. Lacked a creamy inside. The bottom and top were just globs of unmelted cheese. Will not order again.Collard Greens:Tasted bland as if from a can. Mixed with spinach and mainly tasted like spinach. Will not order again. I added the greens to my gumbo so I didn’t waste them. Let’s be clear, the greens weren’t horrible. I grew up picking and eating freshly picked collards so I have high standards for greens.Red Beans & Rice:Beans were cold and tasted like they were from a can. Not the Louisiana red beans and rice I was expecting at all. Rice was undercooked with a slight crunch. I added the rice to my gumbo when I reheated it on the stove. I will figure out what to do with the beans.Customer service was good. The lady was very attentive and went above and beyond to ensure every customer was taken care of. She even gave out peanut butter cookies while we waited. Bring your patience as this is a small-scale (lean) food-service establishment.I spent $30 for 2 half orders of gumbo and jambalaya ($10 each), and 3 sides. I probably could have saved a few dollars if I ordered a veggie plate. It was a little pricey for the portion sizes. I charge it to the gumbo and jambalaya which was $10 each and served in 8oz containers. I usually pay $8 for 12oz or 16oz of soup.On a positive note, I got to sample the menu. I know what I like and don’t like. I don’t expect to like every menu item at any restaurant. Bottomline, I will go again.“
“I go to WCU across the street and I came to get food on my break and I absolutely loved the service and food! The owners are a cute couple who make bomb food! Must try, will come back all the time. Owner was also nice enough to let me try things“
“I come to this starbucks every now and then. The female baristas are all super nice, always ask me how i am doing and my drink is made good. There is a tall male barista with glasses who also makes my day better when I see him. However, there is this shorter man, who i think is a super-visor, who is running around and giving everyone an attitude when i am there.. Not sure what his problem is but he has the worst atmosphere and I dont see him really working, just running around with his underwear out. He is very dismissive when I am ordering at the window you stand at and yells alot“
“OH MY GOODNESS!! This place has easily become an all-time favorite after just two visits!! Hands down, best pupusas I've ever eaten. For anyone who is picky or just has a preference about their pupusas 'region of flavor', these are from El Salvador (which is where you want the from), where the dish originates!MUST TRY:- Any/all Papusas (I got the bean and cheese but added carne and OMG!)- Fried corn tamales- Chicken tamale (cooked, wrapped in grape leaves)- Fried plantainsParking: The restaurant is location in a small multi-shop plaza, so parking all depends on the time of day each shop is busy. Each time I've been there, there was parking right in front of it!“
“Just finished having a meal from here with my girlfriend. She is not a vegan, but she says the tenders were the best she's had. I enjoyed the chik'n biscuit. It is immense for the price, and reminds me of an old fast-food item I've been nostalgiac for since I went vegan in 2015.“
“This is my new spot for lunch with my sister and mom! It's such a great spot in the heart of Valley Village. I even ordered the pizza for my kids and they loved it. Their salmon salad is so good and they actually have two different kinds. Honestly it's great place for both family lunches and dinners as well! The place is updated and has plenty room.“
“Excellent service with happy friendly staff- nice menu with sandwich, ribs, chicken options- Cauliflower crust available! Great flavor and topping options. Go next door for frozen yogurt for dessert or Movita for juice or acai bowls. Family owned. Fellipe is great.“
“The fried chicken is the best I’ve ever had and it’s not even close. The mild chicken is really spicy but just the right amount for me, not overly intense. It’s nice and crunchy. It’s even great cold. The fries are bomb too.What I also like is that it’s exactly the same quality every time, there is no variance. Wish I had found this place years ago.“
