50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants East Compton

“Cruda was a fantastic spot. I was excited to try the camarones culichi. I was so thankful for the waitress that helped us and let me know that the culichi was a bit spicy that day (usually it's not that spicy) so I ended up skipping it and getting the shrimp tacos. So ask your server if the culichi is spicy before ordering. I don't do well with spicy. The ambiance was very neat - love the neon sign. If you know you know! ;) Overall, great place a little pricy but ask for the specials if they have any. we got double the oysters because they were having a sale. Solid place.“

“We dined at Damian for the second time. Our minds and tastebuds were blown again! Everything was high level, food drink, service, desert, even down to the tiny cookie that came with our espresso. And, the duck carnitas, chefs kiss!“

“This is a very cool place. The food is delicious and the service is spot on. They have a motorcycle theme, and they have motorcycles on display, they have a store on premises to got swag. They have a tattoo parlor and a barber shop. It's really a cool place to go.“

“This place is lights out delicious. The beef plate was cooked perfectly and the falafel wrap was amazing with the sauce. The falafel was nicely tender and juicy. The garlic and hot sauce were fantastic as well.Pro tip: Get one of the plates, mix in the hot sauce and a little bit of the garlic sauce into the protein (I went with the beef) and rice. Then mix in the hummus. Now you’ve got a dish that will rival the best halal cart in NYC.Also the pita bread that had falafel literally baked into it?Are you kidding me?Amazing.Great staff, great food. Will be back.“

“The pizza was to die for — we had the margarita pizza — thin crust and sauce delicious. We had the artichoke burrata appetizer which was delicious too. The area where the restaurant is located is very cool. Enjoyable all the way around.“

“Yummy tacos! We had the lomo saltado, carnitas and fish tacos and all were Good! We also had the potato and cheese taquitos and the cara cara Olive oil cake. The Olive oil cake was warm and moist on the inside and was crunchy and crisp on the outside. Went well with the orange sherbet that came with it!“

“The Chef's take on everyday food IS the experience! Golf, that's an after thought, you won't even notice the course while treating yourself to an experience your mouth won't shut up about long after "T-time" . So, one lump or two?“

“Last night we went to Speak Cheezy on 4th St at Termino. First off, EXCELLENT customer service! We had the Shroomday Button (Oyster and Maitake Mushrooms/ White Wine Braised Leeks / Truffle Cheese / house stretched mozzarella / shredded mozz / parsley / post oven of lemon zest. *We love to add Hobbs Sausage*). I added that delicious sausage and loved that pizza! We also had the Bloomsdale (garlicky bloomsdale spinach / hand stretched mozzarella / shredded mozzarella /pecorino / smoked ricotta / gaeta olive / za’atar / feta salsa verde)... and YUM! And we decided to try the Garden of Farms Little Gem Caesar Salad (little gems / kewpie caesar dressing / pizza croutons / anchovies / Ribbons of Fiscalini Gold / soft cooked egg). Again, tasty, tasty, tasty. Speak Cheezy sure seems to use high-end products in the creation of their pizzas and salads. Everything was top notch. That salad was so yummy with that incredible salad dressing and the jammy soft cooked egg. I want another one to eat with my lovely pizza leftovers. :)“

“First time we try this place and it has become our new fav brunch/lunch spot in Long Beach right away!The food is super tasty and healthy, definitely one of the best vegan food I ever had in LA. Great atmosphere and super friendly staff. To top it off, the patio tables and indoor/outdoor space make it very dog friendly which was perfect for our dog (it’s also 5min from Rosie’s beach, so very convenient!)“

“Superb creative Mexican cuisine and impressive cocktails, even without alcohol (virgin)“

“One of the best restaurants in Long Beach for Peruvian, style, seafood, ceviche, and Sushi. Family owned and operated with a friendly vibe and amazing service.“

“Arranged a dinner for a group of 8 friends who were all attending a conference. Needed a place that was downtown and walking distance from our hotels, and this was perfect! Lots of very good options, especially for vegetarians. Service was attentive and helpful.“

“Every single drink and dish they make is the absolute best. If you haven’t tried their grain bowl or biscuit sammie, do so immediately. And the cardamom latte is liquid gold. I love everything about WEOP including the staff and owners. Best place ever!!“

“This place is pretty awesome. Tons of different kinds of crazy good food. I got the cookies, the shrimp skewers, Thai fried chicken, and mango sticky rice ice cream. Takes a while to wait in line but totally worth it. Also the DJ there is pretty good as well so you have decent tunes to listen to while you wait for the vendors. Rest of the mall area is pretty chill lots of thrift and high end clothing stores“

“Unbelievably good! Exceptional quality. Hubs had the filet taco & pork belly taco. I had the ribeye quesadilla with AHM. Very generous quantities and SO GOOD. We’ll be back soon. I need to try EVERYTHING.“

“Hello Guys Marvin Here!!Just found this hidden gem in the most unlikely place Compton!Let me tell you they have it all the ambience is great they have a super duper bartender cashier who is super attentive! It is small but very confortable. Background muaic is nice! They have a craft beer rotation that includes your local California favorites like L.A ale works, Monkish, and alot of others! You cannot beat the prices come down they are child friendly.“

“A couple of weeks ago I stopped by on a Saturday. Met the owner Kevyn and a couple of employees. Super friendly and helpful. And Kevyn's enthusiasm is a joy to be around! The decor is fun, all New Orleans and they carry a few treats from Louisiana too, like traditional pralines and Zapp's New Orleans kettle style potato chips in several flavors. Now onto the Son Balls. They've got sooooo many flavors and they're all created in-house. I tried a number of them and they were all delicious: mango, guava, passion fruit, Pina colada, li hing mui, and watermelon. Next time I'm going to try wedding cake, mojito, creamsicle, candy apple... and maybe dill pickle. :) Anyway, highly recommend. THIS is a small business we need to support! Great local owner with wonderful energy and a terrific product!“

“nice relaxing atmospuhere“

“I recently took my lunch break at Guzzu Bento-ya, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. I opted for their Hayashi Rice, a flavorful twist on Japanese beef stew, and it instantly became my new favorite comfort food, especially in the chilly weather. The braised tender beef, onions, and mushrooms melded together perfectly, creating a hearty and satisfying meal.The space was cozy and perfect to do some work. I love how they have anime playing on the projector.Beyond their renowned bento boxes, Guzzu Bento-ya impressed me with their new salads and stews, each bursting with flavor. The staff was incredibly accommodating, offering spot-on recommendations that enhanced my dining experience. Whether you're craving a classic bento box or eager to explore their latest offerings, Guzzu Bento-ya is sure to exceed your expectations. Highly recommended!5/5“

“Muy buena bienvenida de Liz. Excelente atención, y la comida es buena. 100% recomendado❤️“

“Literally EVERYTHING is incredible! Lots of love and care put into each item. Tatiana and her husband are super passionate about serving delicious and nutritious food to their visitors. The lox bagel, brioche French toast and cinnamon roll are just a couple of the fantastic, drool inducing items. Can’t wait to come back to LA!!“

“Perfect brunch/breakfast spot. Super cute casual charm with dishes to match. The portions are great and the food was delicious. I particularly loved my baklava latte- definitely a yummy treat on a rainy morning. My eggs Benedict were great and on latkas?? Delicious! Everyone enjoyed their food and the service was super quick and efficient. The only downside is the parking and size of the location, on a rainy day everyone was waiting for an inside spot, so you may have to wait a bit for a seat. Thankfully we arrived early enough to not worry about that ! The food was a bit on the pricey side, so definitely be warned that two dishes and two drinks, plus tip was about $60. That brunch price may not be for everyone, so please know that it’s definitely a bit more of a price to pay but I wholeheartedly think that it was worth it!“

“Riquísimo muy recomendable“

“Unique & Friendly, for motorcycle lovers“

“Family owned and operated truck located in Boyle Heights / East LA area that specializes in tacos arabes and goodies from Puebla in general. The tacos arabes were a result of Lebanese immigrants to the area and boy are they delicious. I came here later on a Thursday night so it wasn't very busy and it was pretty chill. Just a few other people around me. The folks here were friendly and helpful. I ordered:A taco arabe especiale- their signature taco with their marinated roast pork on this soft flower tortilla. This was topped Oaxacan cheese and slices of avocado (especiale). There was this chipotle sauce on top of everything. The sauce added some smokiness to an already great flavor and texture profile. I really liked that flour tortilla. Quesadilla de flor de calabaza - zucchini blossoms with melted Oaxacan cheese inside a blue corn tortilla. Love corn and I love this. Nice and chewy with earthy and slightly sweet flavors to go along with their delicious salsaDefinitely recommend for tacos/ quesadillas etc etc or if you are just in the mood for something a little different.“

“Great all around food choices with excellent quality! All the staff are personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. Great service with great prices!! Love Appu’s“

“Feels like a modern trendy hip pho spot that totally passes the vibe check.We were greeted as we came in even during the busy dinner time.Sat at one of the booths with space to have a stroller next to us without being in the way for others.The staff are super friendly with awesome ink tats and just super chill.I ordered the #4 pho with streak and brisket which was yummy, next time I will for sure get a large.We got 2 orders of the #30 the minced pork and veggies egg rolls which were delicious and gone as quickly as they came.Huge dinning area with a modern rustic open kitchen décor.Needed to stay up so I got me a Vietnamese coffee which was on point.Can’t wait to come back to try other things off the menu.Parking: Big parking lotKid-friendliness: Able to fit a stroller next to our table“

“Great ambiance and food is absolutely delish“

“Our second time dining here, this time we brought friends. It was perfect and food, service was awesome. However I was a bit disappointed by the lobster pot pie.... It was not what I was expecting, lobster was cold and just didn't taste right. Other than that, great place to fine“

“Food is amazing, there’s a Big outdoor setting for everyone to sit down, Fireplace to keep yourself warm. Enough heatlamps to warm everyone up. Next-door there’s A huge lounge bar if you don’t feel like sitting outside, you can bring your food inside. ♥️♥️???? ?“

“Fun, tasty, fast, and reasonably priced.“

“I was in the area for a tire and in desperate need of coffee. I asked the barista which to get and they recommended the horchata latte, I got it with half the sweetener, iced and it was perfect. I even splurged and got a the tomato & mozzarella empanada (also recommend by the barista) chefs kiss! Came with a chipotle sauce of some kind and so fresh. I also opted for the spinach, egg and cheese empanada which was also delicious. Will definitely be back when in the area.“

“Absolutely outstanding. Instead of our usual sushi + sashimi, we went with three rolls. Angel, a protein roll (no rice), and the {gifted} salmon roll. I can’t begin to articulate how beautiful and fresh and DIFFERENT each one tasted. Everything top notch. While I truly enjoy dthe previous owners/menu {mainly because of proximity and convenience to home}, the new owners have completely revamped decor, menu, service and WOW what an improvement. My new favorite!“

“You're looking for fresh seafood, expertly prepared, perfectly seasoned. This is it. It's a clean and upscale place that actually serves FRESH fish, never frozen, and you can tell. The flavors are delicate and carefully prepared, and served rapidly. Their kitchen is truly amazing. Some of the best seafood I've had. Recommended.“

“Clean, comfortable, and beautiful coffee shop.Their cold brew, strawberry matcha & horchata frappe were delicious. Loved their jalapeño cheddar bagel & blueberry scone.Kid-friendliness: There are plenty of children’s books and a cozy environment.“

“The signature cold brew was great! Prices are decent. Ube matcha and tonic espresso my friends got were also good as they claimed. We only bought drinks.Parking: Small and busy parking lot. There wasn't any parking available for me. I had to park in the next plaza and walk over.“

“Excellent meal! The BBQ was so delicious and the biscuits were soft and fluffy. The service was excellent“

“Jenny and Julian are so nice they were closing up and i just missed them and Julian went back in and gave me these delicious cinnamon twist . Thanks Julian . You and Jenny are amazing the food is always top tier . Next time I’ll have to come get your famous breakfast sandwich and vanilla ice “

“4+ Considered one of the best by many or at least one of the most popular taco spots in Los Angeles. They have a good variety of items and meats, but I would say they are most known for their al pastor (marinated, spit-roasted pork that is usually served with a slice/ chunk of pineapple). The service here is pretty efficient since they have to be - there's almost always a line. The vibe: depending on the time of day or night you come, it's usually a mixed group of people wanting to try this spot, people eating after a drinking session, or just people looking for decently priced tacos. One of the times I was here, I was standing behind Dante Basco (Rufio!), haha. Usually a fun vibe for sure. My usual here is two tacos (typically the al pastor) and a mulita. It used to be that there was a toppings and salsa bar where you would dress up your food. Not sure if it's because of the pandemic or people taking advantage and taking too much stuff home, you now have to go to a separate window to ask for the toppings and salsa and they're individually packaged. I definitely think this place is worth going for the al pastor. I myself have been here multiple times. Parking can be tough, but if you are going during the week there's usually parking along the street facing south on LA Brea right around the corner. Just be careful though as it is a relatively high traffic area and some people seem to drive recklessly in this area.“

“This are the very best “snow cones”! The shaved ice is so light and fluffy. And whoever thought of condensed milk added to it…. Brilliant!“

“Had a sampler of the ciders and loved it , nice atmosphere , live music.“

“I love this place! The coffee is soooo good. Quality espresso and the drinks aren't sickly sweet. I've tried a regular latte and a mocha and love both. You can tell they actually know and care about espresso and provide friendly service. The ambiance is cool but I really don't care because the coffee is so good. As someone with an espresso machine at home I appreciate when coffee shops aren't selling me crappy coffee and it tastes better than what I can make. The Gorgoroth sandwich is also sooo good and huge! I'm surprised at how un-basic it was lol.“

“Buena atención sirven muy rápido muy amables“

“Great meals , kids friendly“

“This GEM is a somewhat hidden oasis for the ?️‍⚧️ Community ?️‍? the breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwich are GAY-mazing! Added some extra crispy bacon and a side of guacamole for even more deliciousness. The potato tacos were fabulous as well (I ordered them with and without tortillas). The staff was amazing - the cashier took notes of all of my special requests and delivered ABOVE AND BEYOND! I definitely recommend this place - I visited 2 days in a row ?Vegetarian options: Potato tacos!! So yummy ?Parking: Just find a spot and walk - well worth it!! Enjoy the exercise :)“

“Best nieve de garrafa!!! My family and I drive from Orange County when ever we can to only get ice cream from here. I would recommend 100% and I hope they can expand closer to our home.My son only ever chooses chocolate. My wife loves the guanabana flavor. I personally love to mix both the coconut and mango together.My only request is to please make a Tuna (Easter Prickly Pear) flavor“

“Good Irish drinks and great service“

“Amazing donuts and coffee. We drive further than our closest donut shop to come here.“
