“delicious food and large portions 🙂“

“We got some problem with our food and they handled it extremely well, showing true professionalism and dedication of their services. Def will recommend to others“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“Amazing food and atmosphere“

“We book this restaurant through Resy because I wanted to use Amex rewards. I love the name of the restaurant! I didn’t know that they ONLY SERVE CEVICHE!! Seafood was great (little too salty) but I was hungry to the end because they don’t have main dishes. I would say this place is good for grabbing drinks with ceviche, not for dinner. Only one guy was serving everything. Making ceviche, drinks and cleaning. So it takes time to get food. Parking is in the back but it’s hard to find it.“

“Beautiful and inviting space to dine and hang out. Very good food and cocktails in a warm and friendly atmosphere.“

“Taqueria y Restaurant Los Amigos is a great local spot that offers authentic, homemade-style Mexican and Latin American food. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with a comfortable neighborhood feel that makes you want to come back. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care, with generous portions and satisfying taste in every dish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient, creating a smooth and pleasant dining experience. I especially enjoyed the variety on the menu and the overall value for the price. It’s the kind of place that feels genuine and reliable for a good, hearty meal. I would definitely recommend Taqueria y Restaurant Los Amigos and will gladly return again.“

“su calidad de comida buen sabor Chapín un pedacito de tu tierra en el extranjero no te lo pierdas excelencia“

“I was having such a grand old time at La Fe that I wanted to take a picture of my experience. I set my phone on a ledge, but my phone fell through a crack. La Fe’s STAR employee, Caleb, had to dismantle the freakin’ couch using power tools in order to retrieve my phone. It took so much work and time and I’m so grateful. Aside from the superb service, La Fe is such a perfect spot for a date or for chilling with friends because of the stylish and hip decor. I would def recommend!“

“muy buen pollo los recomiendo“

“Comida salvadoreña deliciosa me gustan las pupusas los desayuno 🍳“

“This is honestly the BEST BRUNCH I've ever had. So creative, and lots of healthy and allergy friendly options. They have made the most amazing roasted carrots dish I've ever had or even dreamed of. Cannot recommend this brunch enough“

“They treated me very kindly and the food is very delicious. I ordered 2 plates of roast beef and a plate of roast chicken. They served it with beans, rice, chives, elbow or fresh salad and tortillas. We were very satisfied. For me, the price of the dish is good. .“

“I'm not a local, so didn't really have a clue where to go to get something to eat. We looked at the listings on Google Maps, and had actually decided to go somewhere else. We parked and walked passed Guisados on our way to the other place, looked at the specials and checked out the inside and decided to stay and eat here. I am so glad we did. I had three of the street tacos, carne asada, shrimp, and a Chile Rellano, all of which were delicious. The horchata was fresh and sweet, and perfect for taking the little bit of spicy edge off. I highly recommend this restaurant. If I was local, I'd be going back regularly.“

“Wonderful customer service from walking into the hotel itself and onward to the restaurant. The food was delicious, and the view made it that much better. Shout out to the hostess, the bartenders and the waiters! I also met a gentleman by the name of Turi, who is so kind and offered us a quick tour of the place. I wish his name tag was big enough to fit his whole name because it’s so unique!“

“Best savory empanadas in town!

They’re big but not cheap. Most are more than $5 each. They’re packed full of food though! They are aesthetically pleasing - especially the spinach and cheese one.

The spinach and cheese empanada is their best. It’s a masterpiece! It’s really flavorful. Great spinach taste! The ham and cheese empanada is also very good but a bit greasy. I’ve tried some of the other empanadas and they’re good too.

The deli part of the restaurant has all kinds of Chilean goodies! Like wines!

They have a deli and a restaurant. I haven’t been to the restaurant in a while but the food is good there too.

Parking is a problem but they have a lot in the rear.“

“Quick and easy small place to get takeout. I'm not sure if the ham and cheese empanadas I got were suppose to have a small amount of filling. I will give them a second chance at some point and hopefully that amount I got was just abnormal.“

“I'd like to share my experience at Encanto restaurant. The warm, welcoming atmosphere with soft lighting and pleasant music makes you want to stay, relax, and enjoy a good conversation. I came with my wife and child - we were greeted politely and seated exactly where we felt most comfortable. I started with the signature Margarita: perfect in presentation and flavor balance - it immediately set a great mood. Next, I ordered the ceviche set. The first two (Cona Konpachi and Aguachile) were truly outstanding - a symphony of flavors with perfectly balanced ingredients that complemented each other beautifully. The other two ceviches in the set, however, felt unbalanced - the dominant note was excessive acidity. For mains, I had the grilled fish - served on a sizzling hot pan, with a deep charred aroma and a well-judged marinade. Excellent. The steak, unfortunately, disappointed: first it was overcooked, then undercooked. But a special thank you to our server, Kristi - she was attentive and professional, and she turned my overall experience back into a very positive one. I highly recommend Encanto for its ambiance and service. As for the food - some dishes are fantastic, others still need fine-tuning. But with a team like this, I believe this restaurant can definitely bring you great pleasure.“

“Wow wow wow I can’t believe how good the breakfast burritos are. Also had the pancakes and they were fluffy and perfect. This is definitely the new breakfast burrito spot in Burbank. 👌🏻“

“Comida demaciada Rica.. Como hecha en casa, karaoke los Jueves Caldo de Pata Menudo los fines de semana. Desayuno almuerzo y cena...ahhjjjj provecho!.“

“I had such a great experience here that I had to leave a review. The food was absolutely delicious—everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. You can tell right away that the cook really knows what they’re doing. Every bite hit the spot, from the seasoning to the presentation.

On top of that, the service and atmosphere made it even better. It feels like the place is in great hands now—the new owner clearly knows what she’s doing. There’s a level of attention and pride here that you don’t see everywhere, and it really shows.

I’ll definitely be coming back, not just for the food but for the whole experience. That new owner knows what she’s doing…hey… if that same energy and smile is always part of the service, I might just become a regular for more than one reason 😉“

“This place is very hole in the wall. It's located in the alley way between Wall Street and Maple Ave. The entrance is only located in the middle of the alley driveway. I can best describe the food as a mix of Mexican, Salvadorean. I'm biased, I always order their asada burrito and it has never been bad. Meat was flavorful, just the right amount of rice and beans, cilantro and onions. Their red sauce is spicy and goes well with the burrito. I've always ordered takeout, and never ate inside the restaurant. Service has always been quick for me, as you walk up to the counter inside, place your order and pay when it comes out. They are usually busy during the day as they serve all the locals around here. The delivery person is usually busy, coming in and out taking orders. The caldos seem to be popular here as well as the pupusas. The establishment seems to be a family owned and operated joint.

The prices are more than fair for the food you are getting. If I remember correctly, the burrito that I ordered is $13 and you get a LARGE burrito that is packed. You will get full off this burrito. I've been there a few times, and I definitely want to go back so I can try their other dishes and see if they are just as good. Give them a shot if you're in the area for a quick bite. I believe they're worth it.“

“muy buen pollo los recomiendo“

“Delicious hot food, refreshing drinks, and fresh papusas. Friendly, fast service. Some entres tend to be very light on salt. A request I have for this place is to please place bilingual signage in front of each food item for easy identification and ordering. Although, they do have a menu on the wall, it's difficult to read for some. Other than that, food is fresh, hot, and delicious!“

“The truth is everything. Das has the best Mac n cheese and the Ribs n Brisket are the best in the West.“

“A hidden gem in the heart of Koreatown, Xecul offers a warm, authentic taste of Guatemala! My sister and I have visited twice, and as non-Latina/os, we were blown away by the kindness and hospitality—especially from the sweet and welcoming waitstaff (Anna is a highlight!). Knowing some Spanish helps (high school level + Google Translate worked fine for me), since the staff seems to speak primarily Spanish. Nonetheless, if you're willing to make the effort with rudimentary Spanish, the patient and friendly waiting staff should treat you fine.

The cozy, colorful space feels like a true local favorite, buzzing with regulars (including even charming musicians on the weekend). Standouts include the rich and savory pepián chicken, tender and delicious carne asada, and incredibly refreshing iced juices. Prices are slightly high, but completely fair for the high quality. If you're craving something off the beaten path and full of heart and decliciousness, Xecul is absolutely worth the detour.“

“This restaurant has the most delicious homemade food I tried. My wife loves the posole and I love the Menudo. We try to go there every weekend to eat some of their delicious food they make. I recommend it 100%.“

“Authentic Mexican food. Best Magaritas along with good music and service“

“Best seafood I’ve had in years!“

“Buenos mataniños. (Y)“

“They are just the best👩🏼‍🍳 not even Carrillo’s tamales come close 😁 I tell all my relatives, from Palmdale Lancaster,😁“

“Thank you 🙏🏽 for your generosity pollo campero and staff from the laboratory here at Pacifica hospital of the valley!!!“

“Had a great meal here before a show at the Paramount. My husband had fajitas and I had the potato dish with added rosemary potatoes 🤩. I couldn’t finish mine - very filling but absolutely delicious. The proprietor is welcoming and helpful. We will definitely return and I will make more sensible choices!“

“Love this place, makes me feel like I went back in time...Definitely a hidden gem! The food: chicken wings, pizza, pasta, etc... any foodie would appreciate. The selection of beers � and wine � are varied and last but not least, the SERVICE, we are spoiled Everytime, the staff goes above and beyond! I highly recommend stopping there before any type of LA event.“

“Se disfruta al máximo con los cheros jiji 😜“

“One of my favorite restaurants authentic Latin cuisine. I have been coming here for over 30 years and was so sad when it closed down during the pandemic. So glad it reopened! Can’t wait 😜 to go back. I give it 5 stars for sure!“
