“The tastiest Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles!!
I love the location and the colorful yellow tiles on the facade of KOMAL. Smartly designed aesthetics and beautifully thought out menu. The prices are fair for such quality ingredients.

Komal is an upcoming business with care and true craft behind every bite. Also the aqua fresca is super nice on a hot day and the pan de calabaza is everything. I dream about KOMAL!“

“best food and customer service 🥰“

“From San Antonio. Tacos are so good especially the ribeye“

“Food was great our server Dominique was great!“

“1st time coming to taco Nazo. They had security for parking and figured they must get really busy. Had their famous fish tacos, pastor tacos, shrimp taco and mixed ceviche. Definitely coming back for the fish and shrimp tacos! The was fish was crispy and soft. I’ve had grilled jalapeños before but the yellow chili with seasoning was amazing too. Anita was super friendly but so was everyone else.“

“The best food!! 100% recommended totally worth the wait in line! Food is amazing!!“

“This amazing taco stand is set up in a parking lot with plenty of parking, making it super convenient. There are four organized stations: one for tacos, one for other items, plus a drink station and a salsa bar.

The meat was incredibly flavorful, and they serve it with onions, a grilled pepper, and a small potato. After trying several taco storefronts in the area, this stand easily tops the list.

A must-visit for taco lovers looking for great flavor. Four tacos was $11. No seating but you can sit in your car.“

“Exquisito todo y el servicio excelente yo si regreso“

“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“

“My friend and I heard about a special type of chili Relleño that was topped with a walnut sauce and pomegranate seeds. It is called chili en nogada. They have it here, and it was spectacular. The special ingredients compliment each other. The staff were all so pleasant and helpful. We sat outside where they have a beautiful garden with fruit trees. including pomegranate, passion, and avocados. I've added a picture of the chili cut in half. Must try!“

“Me and my son and my daughter had breakfast there in the atmosphere was great the staff was really friendly it was like a home away from home and we enjoyed every minute of it thank you so much I live up the street and we'll be coming back here at least once a week for sure!!!?❣️“

“Hands down the best spot for authentic, high-quality, and incredibly delicious Mexican food. This family-run restaurant takes great pride in offering a true taste of Mexico. The space is clean, welcoming, and beautifully decorated—hygienic and full of heart, with an atmosphere that makes you want to linger“

“The food here is so fresh and tasty! We had refreshing watermelon drinks and ceviche with chips and salsa. The atmosphere was relaxing and air conditioned. Nice, music and ambiance filled with lush green palms. Our server Genesis was very helpful, and accommodating. Will definitely be back!“

“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 -“

“Great food.. bad service! Server seemed out of it ? my food came to my table and no utensils. I waited a couple of minutes for the server (only 1 server?) to come around but no luck. I got up and went to the front counter to get what I needed. I was really annoyed at this point. Keep in mind there was only one other table dining in so it wasn't busy or I would've been more considerate.

The food is great but you guys really need to improve your service.“

“When I tell you this place is incredible… on every point! Food amazing, atmosphere is such a vibe, service and staff are so welcoming and accommodating and QUICK!

We ordered the following for 3 people and were stuffed and had plenty of leftovers:

- chips and trio of salsa: I am still mind blown about the variety of salsas, the flavor complexity, the range of spice and ingredients in each. 10/10

- squash blossoms (forgot to take picture): so delightful, stuffed with a cheese mixture and the perfect consistency and crunch on the fried blossom. 10/10

- 3 mole plate: loved trying the different mole options, my palate is not quite as seasoned when it comes to mole so I favored the “traditional” sweeter brown mole. Would just get this one next time (forgot what they called it) 8.7/10

- carne asada plate: an assortment of Oaxacan cheese, grilled cactus, beans, mole enchilada, and the most tender, flavorful and juicy steak. Just wow 10/10

Churros: omg…. Just omg. Melt in your mouth churros, most DELECTABLE Mexican dark chocolate to dip them in… I dream about these 10/10

This is now our go-to Mexican spot. Such an elevated take on our traditional Mexican food outings. Prices were very fair especially for the quality and ambiance of this places picking up a to-go order as we speak.

It’s worth noting that we went with our friend who was born in Mexico City and has had the best of the best Oaxacan food and she was floored by this place!“

“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)“

“Possibly the best and freshest Mexican style seafood in LA Think fine from a James Beard award winning chef and kitchen on the very casual setting of a food court It’s busy so get in early as the line to order grows quickly Plenty of parking with extra space at rear of the car park for the overflow This is a must try if you are in the area“

“Great comida casera! Customer service is good!
The only thing I didn’t like was that the meat in my chilaquiles was more pellejo (skin) que carne itself. The meat was difficult to chew. Other than that, the chips and salsa were good (the salsa was super tasty), chilaquiles were good in flavor and the aguas frescas estaban buenas.“

“Delicious authentic Mexican food, Great customer service!“

“Exquisito todo y el servicio excelente yo si regreso“

“Buenísimos las mejores carnitas“

“Esta muy buena la comida Recomendado al 💯👌🏽😋“

“Incredible food made fresh everyday. They put in 200% effort here and you can really tell. One of the best restaurants in LA right now.

Sometimes they do run out of food and have to close early, but it’s worth it to go back and try again because it is so good.“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“Me encantan los tacos y burritos de cabeza.“

“The best food!! 100% recommended totally worth the wait in line! Food is amazing!!“

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

“The best tacos in California!“

“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.“

“I got two beef and two fish tacos, and these bad boys were stuffed to the brim. The tortillas are so fresh and a little on the thicker slide which makes it easier to eat the tacos without them falling apart. You must go while you’re in downtown LA“

“The tacos are delicious. I didn’t prefer the chicharron taco; my assumption was the pork fat would be crispy, but it was blubbery. I didn’t eat it. This was probably a mistake on my end.

The pork tamale was delicious as was the steak taco. The tamale wasn’t dry at all (I’ve seen other reviews saying it was dry). The service was so friendly and kind. I loved the artwork, but I did want a salsa bar. I’ll be back absolutely, and recommend the cantaloupe agua fresca.“

“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.“

“Best Tacos !! Love it . Keep it up“

“The food, service and atmosphere was amazing. Restaurant dining was on the rooftop. Modern and classy. High attention to detail. Only setback was $14 dollar vodka sodas and I was up-charged for soda water (topochico). We had a resevation and still had to wait more than 10 mins for a table. All in all, I would go again.“

“Buenísimos las mejores carnitas“

“First time going there and went because of the reviews. You can tell they make their own tortillas, which made the burritos a lot better. Overall, the taste very good. I need to go back and try the chile relleno burrito. The only thing is that the order took long for having many employees there. Not only that but a few were just standing around. I feel that if you have that many employees, orders shouldn't take as long. They were very friendly though. The place is very small and not many tables. It's more like a place to order and go. Customers would appreciate more if they had more tables were they can sit and eat.“

“Good Clean Fun isn’t just a wine bar, it’s a Downtown institution. Ian and his team have cultivated something truly special: a space that consistently delivers exceptional natural wines, beautifully fresh food, and an atmosphere that feels effortlessly joyful.

What sets GCF apart is its reliability in delight. I’ve celebrated birthdays here, lingered on date nights, raised toasts at farewell parties, attended themed Good Clean Fun events, and each visit has been a masterclass in hospitality. The wine is always exciting and thoughtfully curated, the food is bright, seasonal, and satisfying, and the energy? Unfailingly warm and convivial.

Ian’s passion for what he does is infectious. He’s not just pouring wine , he’s telling stories, sharing discoveries, and creating community. It’s this blend of curiosity and care that keeps the experience fresh while always feeling like home.

Thank you GCF, for being my go-to for great wine, great company, and creating greater memories.“

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

“I would share a photo but the food is gone. I was late to what I learned is a local favorite and nothing missed.i can’t wait to go back.

Okay so Millionaire Burrito - bomb. The secret is in the steak. Cooked Medium. Also the portioning is perfect. Also toasted? Was it toasted? Idk but wow.

The Mango Juice - to me more like a high quality mango smoothie with no ice. It literally tastes like they picked the mango at the perfect ripeness and they juiced it theirselves

The Churro - admittedly I normally hate the cream inside of a churro, but today I stepped out of my comfort zone and now I’m convinced that homemade churros are the only churros that exist.

Listen, I’m so happy that this is a few blocks away, and that I can try more things. Best Mexican food on this side of town.“

“YUM!!! I LOVE that it has a slice of everything and you can customize your order. I got the torta chilanga and its THE BEST. We were able to get close parking because we came at the first hour. I think parking may be difficult to find during their busy hours. 10/10 recommend!!“

“Amazing hospitality, great service and even better food. Cheers to this family run business working passionately to maintain standards and quality of food. If you haven’t been here at least once, you are missing out. Stop by, say hello to the owner and his daughter Jasmine.“
