“Today I was with my daughter, the first time I visited the place, I really have no complaints about the food, it was very delicious, I ordered an order of anticuchos, my daughter had green noodles and I ordered lomo saltado.The owner's attention is super good, he makes you feel at home, thanks for the attention, I hope I can return soon.“
“We got a revuelta and chicharrón with cheese, it was packed with filling and was so cheesy and gooey (in the best way possible) we also got "Fresco de Maracuyá" aka passion fruit water. It was so refreshing and not overly sweet! This is not fast food, they are a small business making your food fresh, please keep this in mind. I recommend ordering ahead of time on the phone, our order was ready in about 10 minutes!“
“We went here for dinner tonight with 4 adults and two small children and I can’t recommend it enough. The space is very cool, the service was extremely nice and the food was incredible. I would especially recommend the ceviche mercado and the flan.“
“Sivar Treats has an amazing staff and delicious food. There are many tasty treats: pupusas, plátano, el caldo de gallina, los postres. My family hired them for a baby shower and they were professional , kind , and the food was perfect . They have another location opening in Silverlake too!“
“I have just moved to OC and glad to have a great time at Isla. Food was yummy - the plantain chips, ceviche, sautéed garlic butter shrimps, oxtails, yuca fries, cocktails, etc. Ricardo was very helpful and gave us some great suggestions. Great service and atmosphere, would love to return soon!“

“Wanted to try a new breakfast spot this morning and this place came up on Yelp. I ordered a pork belly breakfast burrito, a pour over, and a fudge chocolate brownie. Pork Belly Burrito: Welcome to flavor town! The eggs are light, cheesy and well seasoned. The eggs take center stage but they also help bring all other ingredients to the spotlight. The pork belly was soft and its fat rendered well into the rest of the burrito. The pork belly didn't make the burrito greasy, which I loved. The tortilla was also soft and fresh tasting--I think they might be making their own tortillas in house. It came with a green salsa that was punchy but not too spicy. The only con in my opinion is the size of the burrito. I only count that as a con because I'm a big dude, with a big appetite. However, I would definitely buy this burrito again since all of the ingredients are of quality and very delicious. It's a 4/5 stars for me. Pour over: The pour over they had today is from Peru. The barrista did a really good job of controlling the water temp so I was able to taste all of the notes in the coffee. I noticed the flavor of berries with a chocolate after taste. Flavor is not overly bold with a nice creamy body. Shout out the barrista! 5/5 stars I love me some good coffee. Fudge Chocolate Brownie: The brownie was good but I wouldn't get it again. It's a heavier brownie--I like a more cakey type brownie. This brownie was dense, hence the "fudge" in its name. It leans towards a dark chocolate flavor profile with a bit of sweetness to counter the bitterness. You have to be a big chocolate lover to have this. However, they did have other pastries so they have choices for you. 2/5 stars for me. They have a cool little brick and mortar shop on Cesar Chavez that has a couple of tables for you to enjoy your food or grab and go. Overall I give this place a 4/5 stars and would definitely recommend trying them out. (Plus you get to support a small business!)“
“The FOOD is very good, they serve a plate full. I get my monies worth. The service is excellent! The ambiance has a coziness , but NOT too cozy, yet very nice character and atmosphere place. The ADULT drinks are the BOMB! Nice bar area too..“
“Good pozole. This is that homemade pozole that I had been wanting for a while. My friend brought me here. She said this place has been around for a very long time. I was surprised that I never noticed it. I wasn't a big fan of their tostadas. They seemed too stale. Apparently, they make them there but I can't say for sure. Either way... I still prefer tostadas from a bag. Place also looks a lil run down but that's not a big deal (to me). They could probably clean it up a little better but overall, I was satisfied with their food This place is at the very corner of a little plaza next to a laundry mat, liquor store and smoke shop.“
“- Great platanos; nachos were good (the guac could be better/real); and sampler was good too.- Only constructive criticism would be to liven up the inside interior (outside of a wall painting and angel-wings banner, it's rather plain and boring).- Definitely worth a visit. My Dominican lady loved it and felt it was authentic (mofongo) as you can get out here on the West Coast.“
“This is the place to go if your Hungary. Great homemade by hand plate by plate one at a time. Lots of regular people here and some personalitys too. Three 75" tvs on the wall for sports watching, big bathrooms. The food is of the hook here everything is the bomb. Lots of choices, lots of food for the money. And everybody is family here and everybody knows your name kinda place. Always a satisfying experience here.“
“The prices in the photos are not updated in the photos...but what I remember and what I paid 2 days ago:Tacos $1.75Burritos, cakes, quesadillas are worth $8.50Mules $3.00Sodas $1Small waters $1.50And that's all I remember, BUT the food is delicious....there are like 3 tables to eat in the place but it doesn't matter because many order takeout. They gave us a lot of sauces, onions, cucumbers, radishes and the waiting time was short, I think, no more than 15 minutes....but because we arrived at 6...later you can see that it gets more crowded. Oh, I forgot to mention that on Mondays the sign says they are 2 for 1 on tacos al pastor BUT they told me that the current promo is tacos al pastor on Mondays for $1...which is still super cool. In general they are 10 out of 10.“
“First time visiting this Guatemalan restaurant and bakery. Most of the food is prepared and waiting at their deli. A lot of variety and place is well staffed. There is also a bakery with fresh bread including full loaves. It also has shelves with popular Guatemalan grocery products. Lastly it has indoor seating for those wanting to eat there. This place has it all.“

“We drove around yesterday and found this hidden gem! Omg was i suprised! We ended up getting the Molcajete for 2 and ended up leaving with leftovers! Huge portion for the buck! Plus fresh hand made tortillas topped it off! My other family members got the huge packed quesadilla for my grandson..amazing! The 3 tacos plate combo with beans and rice! Delicious! And the Carnes asada and shrimp plate! Did not disappoint! They got fresh aguas frescas, we got the horchata. And the employees there were so polite and were so attentive to us. Im definitely coming back to try everything on there menu! Stomach fell in love with this place. Need to visit for the prices! Help support small family business like these!Vegetarian options: They have the options to provide a vegan meal as long as you order specifically what you want them to add to your order and im sure if you tell them you are vegan, they will make sure to attend to your accommodations.Parking: There is parking in back by the Barber Shop or 2hr parking in front. Plenty of time to eat.Kid-friendliness: They got kids menu“
“I would of took a picture of our food but we devoured it! Platano Maduro Con Todo & Chuleta Frita, deliciosa!Ordering was easy and simple, atmosphere when I walked in for pick-up was phenomenal, lots of imported goodies, and great service every time.Thank you Honduras.“
“2nd time here. Had to come back, aannd will be back again!! Ordered the Sopa de Gallina. One word to describe; AMAZING!! The chicken breast was well seasoned and super juicy. Still in love with the rice. The broth, you can taste the passion, skill and time it takes to achieve the flavor. Always remember to be patient, great food doesn't take 5 mins. It was hot out today, but super fresh inside.“
“Today is my 4th time coming here, close to my house near South Gate park. I've had breakfast 3 times & today I came for a Sopa de Gallina. I must say their food is delicious, the presentation is very appealing & their service has been consistent & pleasant. I would highly recommend you come in & try it for yourself. Thank you for the great food & service. Jose D. ?“
“Almost always good service... but I had a bad experience... there is a tall white girl, she works at the cashier and when she brought us the groceries she threw the straws and she turned around and left and when she brought the food she did the same thing I just threw it away and it left..“
“Awesome food and customer service was good. This is how to want to be treated equally.The lemonade was the best. the decor/decoration was great pretty organized. I feel the Mexican vibe. I wanted some cucumber with some chill peper and lemon they gave me exactly what I ordered. the food came here fast which was a good thing honestly best place ever this place has to get a 5 star rating.“
“One of the best local pupusa places in Lynwood/South Gate area. Their pupusas are huge and full of cheese that pulls out when you break the pupusas. Their curtido is very flavorful. They also serve a delicious Carne Guizada with rice, beans, salad, and had made delicious fat tortillas. One more item that my wife and I like to order and now our son loves too is their sopa de pollo that comes with a lot of vegetables, two pieces of chicken and most impotently, they serve it with little coditos pasta inside. it brings the sopa to another level especially when you are sick or it's just a sopa kind of weather. The staff is very friendly and very attentive. Will definitely keep coming back here as long they keep making delicious food.“
“After a long day of movies and shopping at the towne center, This is my favorite place to go. The Chaufa de pollo is AMAZING. I always get extra green sauce to mix in with the Chaufa and it's just delightful. The service is always great, even when there a long line the workers are always kind. And inside the seating area is plentiful if you decide to eat in. Definitely recommend stopping here if you have the chance and if you have even more time try out the restaurant!“
“It's very funny that I deliberately decided to write a review, just now. I've been a customer here for quite some time. I spent the other half of my life (I'm 30 now, lol) being an active customer for a great while. Although some people come and go, likewise with the former employees who move on to other things in life. I'm positive that the only consistent thing is great service and quality beverages given to the customers, altogether.“
“First time coming here, the food was good.I want to say the specialty here are the Cemitas Poblanas they offer 24 different kinds they looked good!I had a Quesadilla de Cecina and it was very good!The only reason I give it a 4 star in service is because when we got there there was nobody and a gentleman told us "I will be right with you" we didn't know they don't have table service so we sat down waiting for server more people started coming and started ordering their foods and we were there waiting. ?Parking: Small location doesn't have parking need to find parking on the street.“
“Do you love tamales? These are by far the BEST TAMALES in East LA! They are all good but go for the red ones! So moist and saucy and perfect amount of meat! Its like a mole-ish sauce soooo good! If you love champurrado, (chocolate based drink) theirs is one of the best as well. It's tricky to get it right and they got it! Seriously the best tamales They also have menudo if you're a fan. I personally I like it. Take a pot with you. Everything is to go. No sit down. My mom has been buying our tamales from here for as long as I can remember. It's a small place and it's to the right from taco bell. Parking can be challenging so be aware. If you like menudo bring a put on the weekends ! Plus you'll be Supporting small family owned business !“
“Tried the Buenos Box Loaded Quesadilla, the Buenos Box Grilled Cheese box, the Churros with Ube sauce, and the Ube Chata.Let me start with the good:The birria quesadilla and birria grilled cheese were amazing! I'm not much of a birria fan, so hopefully that's saying something. The meat was suave and easy to eat, almost like you could just drink it lol. The tortilla for the quesadilla had a subtle soft crunch and was flavorful. The grilled cheese tasted like a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. And the bread was really flavorful. It was unexpected! You can't go wrong with either of these choices.Churros with Ube sauce. I wanted the option with ice cream, but they didn't have any. You can't really go wrong with churros. The Ube sauce is lightly sweetened. It was a nice dessert.The ambience is great. The store is very colorful and they play a nice variety of music. The tables and chairs aren't really user friendly though.The not so good: The street corn side was not so good. They need to put more of the toppings and mix it well. I just had corn with juices at the bottom. Didn't even finish it after it got cold.The nachos were alright. The cheese sauce or whatever they put on it needs more flavor, and the chips seem really light on salt. The birria and other toppings were good though.The verde or green sauce needs more flavor. Usually it has more a citrus kick and slightly spicier. It was alright. I did end up mixing it with the leftover nacho cheese sauce and using it for the quesadillas. Huge horchata fan here. Ube Chata tasted like Froot Loops. Didn't like it too much. Maybe add more horchata?I went on two different days for these orders. The service was fast, but the cashier didn't seem like he wanted to be there.“
“I just came by after my dental appointment to check it out because it looked so cute inside. I ordered the detoxing juice and I wasn’t sure if I would like it but oh my goodness, the first sip was a long one because it was so good! I Wish I would have gotten the bigger size! I’m so glad me and my friend decided to just buy and try it! I definitely will be coming here again and trying out more of their menu. The owner was also very friendly! It’s a little hot inside tho! Wish I could have posted my drink too but it’s all gone now!“
