“This place is a hidden gem in the valley and even the lot it's in you wouldn't assume it's good. This is located in the same lot as the Food 4 Less and Baskin Robbins. And I am so mad I didn't get this place sooner, the savory empanadas I had were DELICIOUS. I had the corn, pork kahula and a chicken one that I forgot that all came with their individual sauces and I WILL be going back for more. I was however so disappointed in the banana Nutella empanada- it was very mushy and the Nutella taste was nonexistent. Either than that the actual place is super clean and a cool ambiance to it!“

“Let's see, True Puerto Rican food in Los Angeles. No way. Always have to get my fix by going to New York or the Island. This is the only place I can say is "TRUE" Puerto Rican food. Real Mofongo, carne and pollo Guisa like my mother and grandmother made. Alcapurria, and Empanadillas were good. Can't wait to try the Papas Rellenos, Sorullitos De Maiz , and the true test, Arroz Con Gandules. So you know I'll be back. If you're picking up, the place can be hard to find. It's in an industrial area, but you can see the beautiful Puerto Rican bandera welcoming you. They are the first door on the right. You need to knock for service. The door was not marked and the only complaint I had. "WILL" be going back. After 40 years in LA, it has finally arrived. Mi Gente.“

“This place is wonderful ! It was so good guys ! Like so so so delicious. My parents are both Guatemalan and so going to check this place out was a must! It didn't disappoint! I really hope the community supports this business long term ! It's a gem. I ordered the garnachas and tostadas just like I would back in el rancho Dios bendiga este negocio not to mention service was good. Small little restaurant but delicious! Will be back“

“Omg when I tell you that it was my first time trying arepas. My brother Inlaw is from Venezuela boy he Wasent wrong when he told me trust your gonna love them!! Never had I finish a whole dinner plate on my own.. But I myself was surprised when I ate the whole arepa I left nothing. It was so good I can’t explain yah need to come try them so you know what I’m talking about.. Only bad thing is there not open every day. You guys try the carne mechada arepa oh my God delicious.. I’m Hispanic by the way and let me tell you I rather have one of these than a Sope,taco,popusas,or a huarache tbh… Guys go try the food here please . You won’t regret it..“

“Went back again after so long for their empanadas. I ordered 6 of them $3.75 each; 2 of each with Spinach & cheese, Chicken & Beef.My mom & I both agreed that the ones with beef were the most flavorful! The other flavors were good too.. it's just we liked the beef ones the most.The salsa & chimicury sauce they gave us were tasty as well!Recommended to others ??☺️Parking: Depends on the hours, sometimes it could be somewhat difficult to find available parking space. Since it's sharing parking lot with many other restaurants, businesses and Starbucks.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of non spicy options.“

“My family and I had the best breakfast/lunch!!! We had a craving for something that tasted like home and we found it!!! I had the breakfast with friend chicken and I loved it!!!! We also ordered the fried fish and their delicious Baliadas!!!! I would definitely recommend ?Parking: Parking is in the back of the restaurant.“

“Great chicken, would greatly appreciate it if service was faster but waiter was very friendly. Ambiance felt like I went on a mini vacay. Get the chicken, that's all you need. It's great they serve food from different countries but the chicken is their specialty.“

“It's a little place but it's the best most authentic peruvian roasted chicken you'll find in LA.Great price good portionsLove the salad dressing. Need the recipe!It smells like peru when you walk through the door. With the wood they use to roast the chicken.“

“I love Adriana's business. Her food is so good and she has an amazing energy and presence in the canyon. I moved here two years ago and during my first week I went to her taco pop up business twice. Now I'm a regular. Her taco medicine is an important part of the Topanga community.“

“This hidden little gem on Panorama city has one of the best sandwiches in the entire valley. I'm glad I found it. When you go in do yourself a favor and ask for a "Steak torta with everything on it". I've tried a few dishes from there but every little thing was on point. The gordita with nopales is also a must try if you are running a veggie diet. 10/10 would take the president to eat there.“

“Food is good, it has that authentic Guatemalan taste. Being born and raised in Guatemala it's nice to have a place where you can revisit those memories when your abuelita used to cook some traditional Guatemalan cuisine on Sundays. Been here a few times over the years and things have slowly change but the taste remains.“
