“Best Seafood Restaurant in LA“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“Amazing food and atmosphere“

“Octavio’s passion project is simply one of the best restaurants in all of LA. Styled like an impeccably artful, primarily counter-seating neighborhood restaurant of the sort you might find in Tokyo, Ceviche Project is a labor of love by a guy who puts together creative raw bar, crudo sashimi and ceviche courses with great care and attention to detail. He also serves a mean Michelada and has an excellent wine selection. I’ve been following his career ever since he was doing ceviche pop-ups in and around LA, and have watched his skills grow and evolve over the years like a sushi master, but for ceviche. He also spins an awesome selection of vintage Latin American vinyl to set the mood. Can’t recommend Ceviche Project highly enough!“

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

“The food is delicious. Give this place a try!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Best seafood I’ve had in years!“

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

“Went here for the first time because it was close to the Greek (it's actually super close). The food was really good and the drinks were yummy. Ethan our server was very entertaining. It got super busy at one point where the noise was pretty loud and it was hard to get our check but will gladly come back.“

“Variedad de productos para fiestas y taqueros“

“I absolutely love coming to Tierra Mia their drinks are always spot on just amazingly tasty! I got to try their new flan frappe today and my goodness I can't put it down! The customer service is always great super friendly staff. Place was pretty packed but they were quick with the drinks, I was not waiting forever. There's many places to sit and just enjoy the day chilling with your drink and/or significant other. There's always plenty of parking at this location so that's never an issue either.“

“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%.“

“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!“

“My fiancé and I absolutely love this place! Every time we come in the area we drive 3 1/2 hours and this is our first stop every time! We were recently in town and we ate here twice between two days. The food is always consistent and so flavorful! It may look like a hole in the wall, but it is the best food around!“

“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. 👌🏻“

“Great food, great prices!“

“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.“

“David was amazing and came to our table at the perfect times. Food was incredible!! Background music was fun and at the perfect volume. The views were great! We were seated in the lounge and could carry on a conversation. Was a perfect evening!“

“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.“

“la comida simplemente deliciosa soy mexicana pero definitivamente la comida 💯de 💯“

“Superb food. Friendly service. Arturo is, perhaps, the best taquero in LA! We drive from the south end of Downtown very often just for these. If you do visit, the al pastor tacos and their breakfast burritos. Incredible!!“

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

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

“This is a small restaurant, it was our firts time, delicious, we ordered tje beef empanadas and spinach with three cheese, simple and delicious they will ask the sauce you would like, of course chimichurri. I do recommend this place, before going back home, I'll be back to delight more empanadas 😀“

“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!“

“This Cuban restaurant 🇨🇺 has very authentic Cuban menu , friendly staff .it has indoor & outdoor tables .Street parking only“

“Viaje a California de Seattle Wa, comí en el churrasco Chapín Riquísima la comida y el servicio muy bueno súper recomendado.“

“Visited Sincerely Yours on Friday night with a few friends and had a great time! The atmosphere was grown and sexy, the doorman and staff were amazing, and I really appreciated the clean bathrooms. The music was on point, and the flow in and out of the bar was smooth. Highly recommend—definitely coming back soon!“

“Extremely friendly staff. Amazing service. PHENOMENAL FOOD and homemade sangria. Simply, the best.“

“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 😉“

“Buenos mataniños. (Y)“

“Just had my first ever burrito at Mixto and it is fantastic. Support local restaurants if they are still open <3 #vegan #silverlake“

“Best nostalgic feeling when I received my wedding photos from 2 months ago. Choosing Maravilla Latin Cuisine to cater our wedding added to the magic of it all. Best choice ever ! We can still hear all of our family and friends chat about how delicious the food was. After frantically searching for the perfect food truck Kimberly made the entire process an ease from the very first call. We knew their adorable little food truck was photogenic but didn't expect how well it looked in person as well. My husband and I were delighted to know that there were vendors out there who cared more about clients than simply getting the job done. If you are looking to get your money's worth, with caring customer service, excellent presentation, AND delicious savory food, I cannot stress enough what a special touch Maravilla Latin Cuisine will give your event. Cheers to this amazing food truck!“
