“Las tostadas, doors, enchiladas, pozole, tacos, totalmente savor de Cd Guzman, Jalisco“

“try shrimp tacos the best in van nuys ca.“

“This is one of the best El pollo loco locations as far as I'm concerned. The employees are incredibly friendly and they keep the place very clean. And I just have to say that if you ever get rid of the Double Chicken Power bowls I will cry lol“

“This Mexican restaurant at Don Zarape deserves every one of its five stars. I absolutely adored my experience here; it was our inaugural visit, and it exceeded our expectations. Despite the early closing time at 6 pm, we managed to arrive at 5 pm, giving us a satisfying hour to enjoy our meal. Next time, I'll be sure to arrive even earlier. I savored the fish soup, caldo de pescado, paired with horchata, while my wife delighted in the shrimp Coctel with a refreshing jaimaca drink. The flavors were outstanding. For your convenience, I've included the menus for you to peruse.“

“DO NOT ORDER ONLINE! IT'S A SCAM! Order through calling or in person. I tried ordering online and when I went to pick up, the lady said they don't have online ordering. I tried calling to cancel my order but it's not a real phone number.The lady was nice though, I ended up ordering in person and she made it up real quick! (Be prepared there is a $1 fee for card transactions. You can pay cash instead.) I got the Pastor tacos and they're delicious! My friends who've gone there have also really enjoyed the food.“

“This is a great spot for a seafood forward Mexican meal with an absolutely stunning patio. We got a few dishes but the standouts are the scallop tostada (culichi tostada) and the branzino zarandeados. The branzino comes with beans, rice, avocado, tortillas, quesadillas, onions and salsas. We loved making our own tortilla with the quesadillas that it came with. Make sure you leave room for the iconic LA churros!!“

“If you are wanting ? food and the best customer service in LA. THIS IS THE SPOT! When we walked in the workers greated us with excitement and joy. They are passionate about the food and want you to enjoy it letting us try small samples of the meets before ordering. THE FOOD DOES NOT DISAPOINT. Full of flavor and great portion size. Would highly recommend.“

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

“One of the best hidden gems in LA. I stumbled into this wine bar out of curiosity, and it quickly became one of my favorite places in the city—and now I’m a regular.
The wine selection is outstanding: an ever-changing, thoughtful assortment that goes beyond the usual bottles you’ll find elsewhere. Whether you’re a wine nerd or just getting into it, this is a place where you can discover something new every time.
What really makes it special is the staff. They’re not just knowledgeable—they genuinely care about sharing that knowledge in a welcoming, down-to-earth way. Ian, the owner, is incredible. He’s the reason I know anything about neutral wine now. His passion is contagious, and he’s always happy to break things down or suggest something based on your taste.
Whether you're looking to expand your palate or just enjoy a glass in a great atmosphere, this place delivers every time.“

“So glad my daughter and I stopped here. We each had breakfast burritos and they were excellent. Not only delicious, but big. We both tried the hot salsa and liked it. The atmosphere was very inviting. The service was the best I've received in a very long time. The server was very attentive and sweet. The cook came out and asked if we were enjoying our meal. He was interested in our feedback. We both decided we would be back even though we don't live in the area. It was definitely worth the effort of finding parking. Don't pass this place up
PS, the cook let us try the birria. That's what I'm ordering next time. Yum“

“El chato taco has quickly become my favorite place for tacos in West LA. Their al pastor is juicy and flavorful, and I always go for the salsa verde. The portions are generous, and the tacos are reasonably priced. The place has a chill vibe, and I’ve always had good service. It’s a great spot for a quick and tasty bite“

“This Guisados on Sunset is the perfect spot to hit a hungry stomach! Free parking. EZ to find. Safe neighborhood. Now for the food… AMAZING! All tacos are delicious. Try the sampler. Gives you 6 mini tacos with home made tortillas. For about $11. ? even my kids who are picky loved this place! Service was awesome. We were still craving another sampler (we all shared some) and the server who brought our food said that there was no need to wait in line again… she took our additional order from our table, and brought the credit card reader out to us!!! Thank you! Mil Gracias !!! We will be back.

Kid-friendliness: Kids loved the food. And when they knew it was for the kids, they held off on some of the spicy salsas (on te side)“

“I passed this place a dozen times. This morning I was craving some breakfast. I asked for something that was not even on the menu. A chilaquiles burrito. He said I will be happy to make it for you. It was awesome! Everything I wanted wrapped in that burrito. Great place the owner is so friendly and gracious. I highly recommend that everyone support this wonderful small business!“

“The best tacos in California!“

“My go to pre-Dodger game hangout. The Dodger vibe is electric. Best flaming margs! The chili rellenos are seriously amazing. Crispy tacos are delicious. Portions are generous. Don’t fill up on the chips and salsa! If you sit near the bar, it’s loud. They always beat their wait time estimate so stay close after adding your name to the waitlist.“

“Original little Mexican restaurant. Rustic and not chic but great food and ambience! The shop is small and only offers bar stools to sit on in the fully visible kitchen, where several chefs are busy preparing and serving up the delicious food.“

“The service is friendly and fast and delightful. My daughter loves their salsa for chips …it’s the only salsa she likes. Service is so sincere and attentive. It’s our first time here and it’s super cozy and the food is absolutely the best Mexican I have had. There are lights on the ceiling and it’s super Duper beautiful.“

“The best Mexican food in LA County!“

“This is a great example of how LA street mexican food culture is like.

This place has one of the best pastor tacos in LA. Their meats are well seasoned and are not dry. Their salsas have great flavor and heat.

The lines can be long but it is worth the wait. You just can't beat this place when it comes to taste, quality, and price.“

“We are a family from Taiwan who enjoyed wonderful breakfasts here for three consecutive days. The staff were patient and explained each dish in detail; despite the language barrier, the service quality remained outstanding. The food was delicious and generously portioned—I especially recommend the Sausage and the Asada Plate (the Beef Ribs option might be even better). Thank you to the team for your attentive hospitality; you set the tone for a great day of travel!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A Must-Visit Spot – Even for Out-of-Towners!

As someone visiting from out of town, I was hoping to find a local gem—and Baja Grill Cantina Lounge was absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome and seated right away.

Our server, Lela, was phenomenal. She was super knowledgeable about the menu and made us feel right at home. We started with the chips and salsa—Lela let us know about the spice level, which was so thoughtful—and they were delicious. The tacos were amazing, packed with bold flavor and cooked to perfection.

We also tried the prickly pear cocktail, and it was a total standout—refreshing, vibrant, and just the right amount of sweetness.

The vibe here was amazing. Even without karaoke, there was a fun, upbeat atmosphere, and you could still dance the afternoon away while enjoying another drink. It was the perfect mix of great food, great drinks, and great energy.

Lela’s superior customer service truly made the experience memorable—she made us feel so welcome. This was my first time here, but definitely not the last. If you’re in town, Baja Grill is a must—and don’t forget to ask for Lela!
She’ll take care of you.“

“Was pretty good, loved the verde sauce and atmospheric grit. Was at the Hollywood Heritage Museum book sale today and saw the original vintage photos of the place. Very cool!“

“Yummy food. Good customer service. Very nice people“

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Casita! Brittany, the concierge, and our server Delilah provided exceptional, warm, and professional service that truly stood out. The food was not only delicious but also incredibly flavorful, and the atmosphere was simply stunning—inviting, elegant, and perfectly suited for a memorable evening. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed every moment. This was an experience to remember, and we’re already looking forward to coming back soon!“
