8 Best Vegan Restaurants near Pacoima

“Pros
* Tamales are rather large.
* Flavor if chicken, pork, and rajas are good
* I appreciate that they advertise tamales are not made with lard
* Masa is soft even after re-heating. Almost too soft it falls apart
* Pricing is not bad considering the size
* Fast service, I appreciate the labels for each flavor

Cons
* More masa than filling
* Vegetarian was disappointing. Vegetable filling looks like it came from a can (peas, corn, carrots, green beans) It would have been better to just label the bean and cheese vegetarian.
* We ate all tamales except “Vegetarian”
* The woman taking our order did have quite an attitude.“

“I recently dined at this incredible women-owned Colombian fusion restaurant, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish 😍. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a warm, beautiful smile from Kimberly herself—the owner whose passion for hospitality shines through in every detail ✨. Her genuine welcome set the tone for an unforgettable evening.

The menu is a creative celebration of Colombian classics with innovative Latin influence 🎉. I started with the empanadas, which were perfectly crispy on the outside and bursting with savory, well-seasoned filling inside—hands down some of the best I’ve ever had 🥟🔥. The standout, though, was the Ropa Vieja: tender, slow-cooked beef infused with bold flavors and fused elements that elevated it to something truly special 🍖. Each bite introduced a euphoria of flavors—rich, vibrant, and layered in a way that kept me savoring every moment 🤤.

The service was amazing throughout; attentive without being intrusive, and the staff’s knowledge of the dishes made recommendations spot-on 👏. In a sea of generic eateries, this spot stands out as a heartfelt, women-led triumph 💪👩‍🍳. If you’re craving authentic Colombian soul with a fresh fusion edge, run—don’t walk—here!“

“I’m so grateful that these guys were the caterers for a commercial shoot a couple of days ago. Their Life Rice breakfast was so delicious and nutritious, not always the case with healthy, gluten free options. The seared ahi for lunch was perfect! Bonus - all three of the men were very nice and accommodating. Thank you!“

“Delicious food! I had the nachos with carnitas, excellent.“

“Since I work in different places I'm usually hunting a new place to get a bite on my break, and always check google maps and reviews And this time Pacoima was the place I worked. This Thai restaurant offers great service once you walk in, the place is nice and they also have dine-in option, in my case I was at work that I had to take out my food, lucky me I was within 10 minutes drive. What I usually loved is when restaurants offer lunch special, no because it sounds cheap but the menu is pretty simple with delicious options to choose from. The food is absolutely delicious and I really like when there is a meal with a wide variety of veggies. Personally I loved the flavor of whatever I ordered the 4 times I went to grab a bite. highly recommend this Thai restaurant if anyone is interested to try different food. The best part is that the prices are very affordable“
