“Simplified order taking using a touch terminal.The staff is pleasant and the atmosphere good insofar as it is a food court. Everyone eats what they want.Small flat on the prices which are higher than other Taco Bell. This is undoubtedly linked to the mass presence of tourists, the restaurant being in the Citywalk of Universal Studios.“

“One of the most amazing meals I’ve had.“

“Food was delicious! We tried the molotes de plátano, which are three small, crispy banana fritters filled with cheese, served on top of a rich, flavorful mole sauce. We also enjoyed tacos de suadero, tender brisket cooked to perfection; Taco Sonia, a specialty with beef rib, chorizo, potatoes, and cactus; and flor de calabaza quesadilla, a savory quesadilla filled with tender squash blossoms and cheese. Additionally, there was a daily special: taco de huitlacoche, made with truffle-like corn fungus that has a smoky, earthy flavor. All dishes were served with warm, homemade tortillas made from fresh maize dough, enhancing the authentic taste.“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“Absolutely delicious food. Chulita Bowl was fantastic, hibiscus mimosa and latte were so good. Friendly staff too! Thanks for the wonderful brunch. 🙏🧜🏽‍♀️“

“Delicious and healthy food!“

“Seafood like you have never tried. We shared tasted from each section of the menu . Soft Shell Crab Taco, Yellowtail/Dragonfruit/Ceviche, a Scallop Tostada. Absolutely Loved it ALL. Then ended with the Branzino rice/beans and 3 delightful sauces shared for 4. It was perfect. Also, tried a unique Old Fashioned cocktail made with a delicate smoky Mezcal like I have never tasted.“

“Just tried MIRATE Restaurant the food was amazing! Definitely worth checking out if you love great flavors.“

“Worth the hype! The Baja fish tacos were the best I’ve ever had, the grilled branzino was fresh and flavorful, and the sparkling lemonade was perfectly refreshing. Affordable and delicious!“

“So glad my daughter and I stopped here. We each had breakfast burritos and they were excellent. Not only delicious, but big. We both tried the hot salsa and liked it. The atmosphere was very inviting. The service was the best I've received in a very long time. The server was very attentive and sweet. The cook came out and asked if we were enjoying our meal. He was interested in our feedback. We both decided we would be back even though we don't live in the area. It was definitely worth the effort of finding parking. Don't pass this place up
PS, the cook let us try the birria. That's what I'm ordering next time. Yum“

“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.“

“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.“

“One of the best hidden gems in LA. I stumbled into this wine bar out of curiosity, and it quickly became one of my favorite places in the city—and now I’m a regular.
The wine selection is outstanding: an ever-changing, thoughtful assortment that goes beyond the usual bottles you’ll find elsewhere. Whether you’re a wine nerd or just getting into it, this is a place where you can discover something new every time.
What really makes it special is the staff. They’re not just knowledgeable—they genuinely care about sharing that knowledge in a welcoming, down-to-earth way. Ian, the owner, is incredible. He’s the reason I know anything about neutral wine now. His passion is contagious, and he’s always happy to break things down or suggest something based on your taste.
Whether you're looking to expand your palate or just enjoy a glass in a great atmosphere, this place delivers every time.“

“It’s been one of the greatest experience at a restaurant with the sell Mexican food. He has the homemade flavor the people make you feel welcome. I highly recommend this shrimp tacos Those are fantastic. Everything is so clean. It really makes you wanting to come back“

“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)“

“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“

“Delicious food and drinks!!!“

“Me encantan los tacos y burritos de cabeza.“

“Came here this morning, their cafe de Hoya is so delicious straight out of the pot. We had chilaquiles, enchiladas, birria de res and costillas de puerco. All of the food was so delicious, and completely worth the drive. Our server Ernes was so sweet, welcoming and attentive. But god I can’t not stress how good their coffee was 😩“

“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 -“

“One of my absolute favorite places to eat in Los Angeles!“

“A friend recommended this place, and it didn’t disappoint. The carne asada tacos were full of flavor and came with freshly made salsa. The place is small but clean, and the staff checks in often without hovering. Prices are fair for the quality you get. It feels like a family-run spot that really cares about the food.“

“Love the people and food is amazing!!“

“Had breakfast at Tenampal and loved it! The Anthony Special is a must-try — half chilaquiles in mole and half in green sauce with eggs on top. So good! The café de olla was delicious too. The staff here are super friendly and make you feel really welcome. Definitely coming back!“

“I love this place. I am from Mexico and this place is just perfect, same quality of a good good restaurant in Oaxaca. The hand made Tortillas are the best in Los Angeles, loved the mole, I had the chile relleno, and it was an amazing vegetarian option for me. Service was so warm and friendly. I want to take all my friends to this place so Definitely I will be back!“

“Great Mexican food!
We love their octopus and sugar cane filets. Very authentic tastes. Only one downside is the kids salmon is a bit too salty. Other than that everything is great with Sol Agave! Recommend this place if visiting Santa Monica!
Tip: REMEMBER to validate your parking ticket to get 90 minutes free parking.

Kid-friendliness: Yes“

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

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“Their handmade tortillas and braised meat tacos are incredible. I love the cochinita pibil and the chorizo tacos. It’s counter-service, but the food comes out quickly. Seating is limited inside, but there are tables outside too. One of the best spots for authentic tacos“

“Delicious food. Well seasoned carne asada and a tasty salsa bar with spicy escabeche including plenty of carrots.

Service was good for fast food.

There are tables in a gss station almost never going to be the best atmosphere... but it works.“

“We are a family from Taiwan who enjoyed wonderful breakfasts here for three consecutive days. The staff were patient and explained each dish in detail; despite the language barrier, the service quality remained outstanding. The food was delicious and generously portioned—I especially recommend the Sausage and the Asada Plate (the Beef Ribs option might be even better). Thank you to the team for your attentive hospitality; you set the tone for a great day of travel!“

“The best Mexican food in LA County!“

“The service is friendly and fast and delightful. My daughter loves their salsa for chips …it’s the only salsa she likes. Service is so sincere and attentive. It’s our first time here and it’s super cozy and the food is absolutely the best Mexican I have had. There are lights on the ceiling and it’s super Duper beautiful.“

“I passed this place a dozen times. This morning I was craving some breakfast. I asked for something that was not even on the menu. A chilaquiles burrito. He said I will be happy to make it for you. It was awesome! Everything I wanted wrapped in that burrito. Great place the owner is so friendly and gracious. I highly recommend that everyone support this wonderful small business!“

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

“Joselito’s is such an amazing restaurant! I had, probably, the best carnitas dinner and chips and guacamole (made fresh to order) I’ve ever experienced. A must go to whenever in the Tujunga area.“
