“ate here for the first time tonight, my boyfriend got a burrito and I got the layerd enchilada, SO GOOD!! We ate on the patio, the staff was so sweet and helpful. we'll definitely be back again!!“

“Food is always fresh and good. They have some good deals during their daily happy hour from 3pm to 6pm. The fajitas are my favorite. Tacos are also good, and the nachos with steak. They also have kid meals. Good portions of food. Mango salsa is fresh and delicious. Plenty of fresh chips always comes with the food.“

“One of the most amazing meals I’ve had.“

“Best Seafood Restaurant in LA“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“Walked here from corner of Sunset and Lilac. The tacos here never disappoint. They are always made to perfection. Down to the slice of onion with the mole taco, and the avocado on the Tinga. They always give perfect presentation and quality. We had a Jamaica and horchata.
Enjoyed every sip and bite.

And super friendly customer service. I love when people also acknowledge my son as a customer too! And allow him to order or grab his own drink.
Thank you!“

“Just tried MIRATE Restaurant the food was amazing! Definitely worth checking out if you love great flavors.“

“So good!! We ordered the squash blossom quesadilla and the taco Sonia. They were both really good. The tortillas are especially delicious. We also got the strawberry hibiscus agua Fresca and holy crap.. might be the best drink I’ve ever had 😋“

“Was really excited to try this place with a galpal recently, and while the space itself is no doubt gorgeous, found the service and food a bit lackluster. We waited a long time to be greeted and get water once sat, even though the restaurant was only partially full - so much so the server did apologize once they did show up. But then we proceeded to wait a long time again to place our order, and then had to flag down our server after waiting a long time to get another glass of wine mid-meal. Overall, it was a fine experience, but was really shocking to be charged a credit card fee on the bill. I can't imagine folks are paying cash often at this price point, and I've never ever been passed a 3% credit card fee at a nice, sit-down restaurant.“

“Delicious and healthy food!“

“the prices aren't are not that expensive they got some good food here and good staff“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Definitely Coming Back, Thank You For The Great Food, Hospitality, and Serving Chef Ismael💥“

“I felt right at home here. What a great find in DTLA. Special thanks to Ian for the recommendations and surprises. Excellent from start to finish. The freshest and best ingredients. Especially enjoyed the burrata, freshley baked bread, tomoatoes, and the affogato dessert.“

“El gran sabor de las tortas de Neza en Los Ángeles ca.“

“best food and customer service 🥰“

“Wonderful place Great drinks and food“

“Everything has been great that I’ve tried. Highly recommend“

“So delicious!!! The cheese Asada tacos are the besttt!! The quesadillas too yumm!!!

Can’t go wrong with anything you order honestly. Ask for the carrots they’re delicious. They do the work with quality and good stuff cause I usually get a tummy ache from Mexican food but from here I don’t. Totally worth coming here for tacos.

They only offer outdoor seating so make sure to go at a cool time. Staff is great and they’re quick even when they’re busy.“

“We stopped by while visiting LA, in search of good local tacos and Taco La 26 did not disappoint!!! The tortillas were fresh, the salsa was delicious & the al pastor was my favorite! I love that they have free roasted potato’s and onions, so no matter what you get a filling meal.

You order at the food station then pay at the counter with the square machines. No where to sit but honestly they’ll be gone before you could sit down.

It is a block from skid row, & as tourist we weren’t familiar - but like anywhere else, just pay attention to your surroundings. The location is gated and there’s plenty of parking.

Open late and so delicious! 10/10 recommend & would DEFINITELY eat here again.“

“Food & service is always amazing! I left my wallet there & the staff helped me retrieve it when they were closed! They went above & beyond to help me -“

“The best Mexican food in LA County!“

“Chichen Itza is a local gem; a real, honest cocina Yucateco. I often find that even if yucatecan cuisine is on a menu of a restaurant, it may be half hearted, perhaps assuming the flavors and heat won't sell. Absolutely not the case her

Chichen Itza is a small, but confident showcase. There is consistent high quality to the food, which is artfully prepared and served. The dishes include delicacies such as: Cochinita Pibil, Poc Chuc, Relleno Negro, Agua de Chaya, and others. Humble, basic ingredients from the earth and sea, crafted into dishes possessing impeccable flavor and soul.

For those wary of high scoville numbers, the heat is restrained, but you can lay it on too and enjoy the wonderful flavor that can be harnessed from the Habanero.

As it is within a food court, and there is the intensely popular Holbox next door, the smell of ceviche and other uncooked seafood can be present. Finding seating can be challenging as well. Do not let this keep you from going.

Park on the street, and ignore the line out the door for Holbox. The food, and the people of Chichen Itza are worth every effort to come enjoy.“

“Came here for the 1st time after years of driving by. We got the sampler knowing it was small tacos, but assorted fillings, which is perfect. Also, we ordered a pork tamale, ceviche tostada, cochinita taco, and chile relleno burrito, all items were on their cute chalk board, no prices though.
Everything we tried was delicious and fresh, some of the tacos didn't need salsa, but highly recommend you get all of them. The ceviche tostada was a refreshing bite after those spicy tacos, I almost ordered another, but had to try the rest. The tamale was crumbly(?) dough like we prefer and the chile relleno was also good in comparing it to other restaurants around there, but not as hearty as at a burrito place.
We will be returning to try other items and more ceviche tostadas.
Parking is hard to find in the area when street sweep passes, but there's a public lot a block away you might find parking or bus it.“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“El Chato Taco Truck:
A popular local taco truck known for its authentic, flavorful Mexican street food. The tacos are made with fresh ingredients and bold seasonings, delivering a satisfying punch of flavor in every bite. Favorites include carne asada and al pastor, with generous portions and well-balanced toppings. The vibe is casual and laid-back, perfect for a quick, tasty meal on the go. Great value for money, making it a must-try for taco lovers seeking genuine street-style eats.“

“We visited El Compadre to celebrate my uncle’s birthday, and overall it was a good experience. One of the highlights was definitely the famous flaming margaritas. They were fun to watch, very flavorful, and a great way to kick off the celebration.

I ordered the enchiladas, and they were rich, tasty, and very filling. The portion size was generous, and I couldn’t finish the entire plate.

The service was decent, but it took a while for the waiters to come and take our order. Also, the complimentary chips and salsa brought to the table at the beginning were disappointing. The chips tasted like old oil and had a strong oily smell, which wasn’t the best first impression.

The food and margaritas were the stars of the visit, but there is definitely room for improvement with the service and the quality of the chips.“

“Homemade tortillas are one of life’s greatest inventions, and Guisados proves it. Everything tastes even better wrapped in one.

I’ve been back many times for the tacos and quesadillas, and the flavorful salsas tie everything together perfectly. The service is always friendly, it’s the kind of place that keeps pulling me back whenever I’m craving tacos.

Another bonus: there’s both a parking lot and street parking, which makes the whole experience even better.“

“The best tacos in California!“

“Love the Place, Will join again“

“the fish is fresh and yum. not flakey fish.“

“Horrible service. Wrong order every time we order Togo. You have to check everything. Very unorganized people work here. Food and service have gone into the toilet in the past year. This looks like it came from a cafeteria.“

“Stopped in for breakfast burritos. The woman who took our food and served us our food was incredibly friendly. The burritos were authentic & fantastic! The fresh squeezed OJ was delicious too. All around awesome place with polite staff and a friendly atmosphere.“

“Guisados was easily one of the best taco spots I've tried in LA. The handmade tortillas alone are worth the visit, and every guisado was packed with flavor and tasted like it had been cooking all day. Nothing felt overcomplicated, just fresh, authentic food done right. Great service, fair prices, and the kind of place you'll want to come back to every time you're in the area.“

“Muy amable el personal y la comida muy rica 💯 recomendada 👌🏼“

“Desde que conocí este lugar para mí como oaxaqueño ha sido similar a tener un pequeño pedazo de mi tierra. La anatomía de una tlayuda sencilla hasta en los puestos de la calle es: la tlayuda, asiento, frijol, QUESILLO y verdura, pero… que te cobren el quesillo como un extra…??!!, entiendo la carne, pero el quesillo…????!!!! Eso es demasiado, tal vez en otro platillos en entendible, pero en una tlayuda…???!!! Fuera de eso, sigue estando rico todo.“

“pasamos de pasadita guiados por los reviews y nos sorprendió los mejores tacos de birria qué hemos comido. recomendamos al 100 por 100“

“The food was really good. I love the place. They played really good music and the place was clean. The service was exceptional. We placed a phone order and Francisca was amazing. She was very patient with me and answer my questions. I recommend this location to anyone looking for a easy going atmosphere, exceptional service, and delectable food. You will definitely want to order twice.“

“La meor birria- tengo casi 30 anos de comer aqui - es un lugar super - servicio- sabor- y previo“

“Oh my gosh Desvelados is the best Mexican food I’ve ever had!!! And I am a native Californian where we do have access to great Mexican food 😉 And the price is so good like it seems too good to be true!! I cannot wait to come back! It was all fabulous! The food, service, ambiance, music playing, everything!! Sebastian was our server and he made it an even better experience!! Give that man a raise! 👏🏼“

“What a gem...hands down the best elotes l've ever had!! The corn man is super nice and super fast at pumping out Elote via cob or bowl. There was probably 20+ people ahead of me with multiple orders but it only took 25 minutes to get through since he's so efficient. It can be so amazingly rich and heavy for some folks but this is what you're coming for! A guilty pleasure ruminating in cheese, mayo and liquid butter and corn. I prefer the bowl over the cob since it's much easier to eat. I also recommend getting two at once so u don't have to wait in line again and it's so cheap. 100% recommend!“

“las gringas espevialidad de la casa“

“Food was great our server Dominique was great!“

“Me gusta mucho que los productos como las tortillas el chocolate quecillo asean de muy buena calidad lo recomiendo de verdad 👍👍👍👍“

“I am a major foodie always on the hunt for the best hidden gem in LA and this place it’s truly so special. The best Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to hands down run by the kindest all family staff. So much love in this food it is sensational. The summer squash and corn, Chilaquiles, enchiladas, horchatas and Flan are sooooo good. All of these dishes were the best versions I’ve ever had. Couldn’t recommend more.“

“The Queso Tacos and San Marcos Style Tacos Dorados, with consome, are hands down the real deal. So delicious! The Cucumber Agua Fresca was the perfect compliment drink. Best in the Valley.“

“This restaurant has delicious breakfast burritos, chilaquiles, and freshly squeezed orange juice, the food tastes like homemade cooking. The affordable prices and the comfortable, cozy atmosphere, especially the beautiful outdoor patio seating. They also have friendly and welcoming staff, and appreciate the fast service, even during busy times.“

“This is not only one of my family’s restaurants in our neighborhood, it’s one of our favorite spots in LA. Reliably excellent, reasonably priced, truly unique, and staff is always helpful and attentive. The green garlic sauce is so good I’d eat a whole bowl of it like ice cream if it were my last day on earth.“
