I had a breakfast Chuleta burrito. First of all that is not a burrito at least not the size of it. It’s more like a taco. It had no flavor whatsoever and to top it off expensive. I have eaten at this restaurant in the past and the food was very delicious in the past now the food has no flavor. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Some of the best tacos and service (which is weird to say for a fast casual type place) I’ve had. The cochinita pibil was my personal favorite but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, they have samplers with 6 mini tacos and the first one I got was so good I went back to get another so I could try the rest. 12 mini tacos later, I am very impressed, full, and grateful for the staff seeming to take a very genuine interest in making sure we had a great time. I will absolutely go out of my way to come here next time I’m in town.

Great customer service from the cashier and food was delicious. Plenty of spots in the parking lot. There is seating inside and outside, which were both clean and inviting. The food came out quick and was high quality.

Guisados in Los Angeles is a standout destination for anyone who appreciates authentic flavor and a relaxed dining atmosphere. Their vegetarian options are thoughtfully crafted, bursting with rich spices and satisfying textures that go far beyond standard fare. The outdoor seating is casual yet inviting—perfect for soaking up the local vibe while enjoying a fresh horchata. Though they don’t accept reservations, the line moves at a steady pace, and the cashier was notably courteous and attentive. This spot delivers a vibrant, flavorful experience every time.

As a local, I've really wanted to love Guisados. I've given it multiple chances, hoping each visit would reveal the 'right' dish that would turn me into a regular. Unfortunately, each experience has left me consistently underwhelmed.
The standout, and the sole reason for my three-star rating, is undoubtedly their tortillas – they're fresh, warm, and perfectly complement any filling. It's a shame the fillings themselves often fall short. While the fish tacos are a passable option, they lack the vibrant flavors or unique twist I look for. For many of their other offerings, I've found the flavors to be sub par and the textures unappealing, despite the promise of their slow-cooked fillings.
My most recent visit, however, introduced an entirely different kind of disappointment. While dining on their patio, I spent a significant portion of my meal keeping an eye on a visible family of mice. While I'm not particularly squeamish and they were, in a strange way, a bit cute, their presence was certainly off-putting and noticeably deterred other potential customers. It's an issue that definitely detracts from the dining experience and raises questions about hygiene, regardless of how 'cute' they might be.
Ultimately, despite its convenient location and fantastic tortillas, Guisados hasn't managed to win me over. The consistent underperformance of their taco fillings, coupled with concerning patio hygiene issues, means I'll likely be looking elsewhere for my taco fix.

Smallest burrito I've ever seen. An erewhon burrito is cheaper for what you get.
Not your average taqueria. The meats are slow cooked and served on freshly made tortillas. There are many choices, I usually get the Bistec en Salsa Roja (steak simmered in tomatoes, onion....) and the Calabacitas (mixed veggies and squash).
I double dare you to eat the chiles toreados. Be prepared!
