Family Restaurants near San Fernando, CA

“Went to Sam's for the first time today... all I can say is yum! Food was fresh and delicious. The service was excellent, very friendly! Love how they cook the kebabs over charcoal out front. Restaurant was clean which is always good sign! Will definitely be back!“

“We had our son’s wedding rehearsal dinner here last week and it was truly wonderful. The food was fantastic, brilliantly served, more than ample. The atmosphere was gorgeous, filled with flowers not billed to us. Marietta, the co-owner, was totally easy to work with, more than fullfilled our expectations. I enthusiastically recommend this restaurant for a superb dinner, lunch, or special event.5 stars all around.“

“Mia's intuition is spot on! She has an amazing technique that really allows her to get to the core of an issue. As soon as I sat down with her I felt at ease, like she was family. She gave me immediate insight and I felt relief in the places I was struggling. Highly recommend her services!“

“I really Love the lamb chops, dolmas and rice meatball soup. I didn’t take pictures, I was so busy eating my food. My kids loved the chicken kebab. Service is great. As a Latina I feel a little shy when I’m trying different food but they are very nice people and food is delicious.“

“Place feels very chill. Love the outside patio on a warm day. Their food is delicious too. I live right across from them and have only been there twice since it's a bit too pricey for me but it is very good. Their coffee is delicious. Thank you to the young lady taking the orders for suggesting the Chipotle sandwich (so yummy).“

“My favorite thing here is the sopa de res, it's pure comfort food. It comes with 2 tortillas and a small side of rice, I also usually ask for a small side of curtido. I'm not that familiar with Salvadoran food, so I was thinking Mexican tortillas the first time I ordered, but it's the soft, thick, handmade Salvadoran corn tortillas. So yummy. Enough for two people (or one very hungry person like me). It's not cheap (I think around $15) but totally worth it. The pupusas are also tasty. It takes about 15-20 minutes to prep the food, so you might want to call it in ahead of time if you are in a hurry. $1 extra charge if you use a credit card. Employees are masked. They sell gallinas rellenas and tamales de pollo for Thanksgiving and Christmas. When I went last week, the hours on their door were 9am to 7:30pm every day. The people who work there are really nice. I don't know how much English they speak. I show up speaking bad Spanish and they roll with it.“

“The menudo it's self was really good. I wish they will include hominy but I do get it that they serve it in the authentic form. The only reason I gave it a 4 stars it's because prices are not display- I order menudo to go but I wanted a small plate. They charge me $17 for a container and I was so shocked because I was looking for a small size. It was so awkward! I think sizes and prices should be update it!“

“The ambiance here is lively, with a hint of noise adding to the fun family atmosphere, although it's mostly adults dining. The 2-for-1 deal on $13 fish & chips, complete with soup, salad, and dessert, is unbeatable, but it's only available on Fridays in March 2024. Be sure to inquire about other specials and consider joining the rewards program for access to the best special options. The wait to be seated is very short.“

“Mucho Mas is a Mucho blast, this longstanding family owned restaurant is located on the outskirts of North Hollywood (like you literally cross the street and you're in Burbank)! Easy parking in their lot or own the street (all free ninety nine w/o restrictions, meters or vallet) Upon entering you may notice their large patio to the left of the door. You'll be greeted and seated promptly, give their menu + specials and left to your devices as they say, until it's time to order. Whether you're a large rambunctious party of 12 or a pair of two, you'll get the mucho experience. Our server was very attentive most of our meal. She was very kind and helpful. I went with the veggie fajitas burrito (dry rather than wet, sin queso)... My M.M. regular date went with sizzling shrimp fajitas, which came with sides of beans and rice, like my burrito... Plus we had complimentary chips & salsa and an order of chips and guac... Needless to say... It was a full table! The food was nice, portions big! Very much appreciated all the veggie options (mainly fajita based entrees or salads - vegetarian by default, vegan with simple no dairy mods). They have some fun drink options including margaritas, cerveza y una barra completa (a full bar). The layout is traces of abode meets modern Mexican cantina restaurant, with nods to latin cultura in their art, pictures (such a the late Chespirito) y many attentions to detail. M. Mas was very busy on a Friday Night, We saw some parties waiting for tables on our way out... Grateful we stopped in before 8PM when things super picked up! Open 11AM to 9PM, six days a week (cerrado el Martes).“

“This place has really good breakfast. Its usually not too busy so its perfect if you want to get away from the crazy crowds in Burbank. The place us to be an old Bobs Big Boy back in the day. Lots of free parking too! Ask for Modesto! Its family owned!“

“First time visiting this place. Lots of wonderful people that were there during our visit. The staff was incredible and beyond nice. They had no problem going around and making sure every glass was full of fresh coffee. They would ask from time to time if everything was ok and if we needed anything. They made us feel like family. It has been awhile since I have gotten such wonderful service. Food was delicious!!! A hidden gem in my book.Dietary restrictions: They do offer sugar free options like sweeteners and pancake syrup.Parking: They offer handicap parking“

“Took a gamble on this place and it DEFINITELY worked out! The food at this place is awesome. The pupusas and revueltas took me straight back to childhood. The taquitos were great- crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Highly recommend this place. I ordered takeout because of Covid but can't wait to visit in person.“
