Socalo is a neighborhood favorite, offering fresh takes on familiar dishes and tasty new creations. The food is consistently good, with highlights including the excellent tacos, such as the Jackfruit Tacos, and the fish plate. The restaurant is known for its AMAZING food and has a reputation for having one of the best happy hours in Los Angeles. Guests can enjoy a curated but large selection of cocktails and beers, all lovingly made, along with a variety of tasty starters. The staff is extremely friendly, attentive, and professional, making guests feel welcome and well cared for. They are attentive to guests' needs, even allowing a reservation to be moved inside when the air gets chilly. Visitors should note that kitchens close at 9pm, so arriving early is advised to enjoy the food and atmosphere. While service is generally friendly and knowledgeable, some reviews mention that the churros can be soggy and undercooked at times. One of the standout dishes is the crispy shrimp, which is surprisingly delightful and spicy. Overall, Socalo is a beloved spot with local owners and ingredients, currently donating a portion of proceeds to the LA LGBT Center this month.
