    Luckily, there was parking open on the lot upon arriving. Peter greeted us the minute we walked up to the restaurant. He sat us right away and was an amazing waiter. Gave us great suggestions and make sure to check in on us the whole time. The restaurant is dim but inviting. The tuna tostada is a must!

    Chef Andrew Ponce, the star of A Tí. Hope Guide Michelin notices his Mexican American cuisine with a sophisticated menu.
    Gary I.

    A Tí/to you is in a more upscale strip mall elevated from Sunset Boulevard so hidden from view. There is a small parking lot. First come, first served. A Tí is the creation of Chef Andrew Ponce, who was Chef de Cuisine at Bestia and did a stint at une étoile Taco María. Chef Ponce is in good company with Chef Roberto Berrelleza of Babita Mexicuisine who was one of the first to use French culinary technique to various regional Mexican cuisines, and Chef Carlos Salgado of Taco María who had his own "Alta California" style. Now it is Chef Ponce's turn to place his imprimateur on the Mexican American scene. It will be a pleasure to see how his notable cuisine continues to evolve. A comforting note to all afraid of piquant chiles, there was no chile heat to any of the dishes I ordered. 1) Tuna Tostada is unlike any that I have ever tasted. Thin cuts of yellowfin tuna fatty belly, that is dressed with a red tinted, oily Salsa Negra, acts like a pavé on ultra crisp, light, fried/toasted? corn tortilla with an underlying lemon Aïoli (ah ee oh lee). The tactile sensation is a complex combination of smooth, suave, velvety, satiny vs airy crispness. The unctuous, capsicum earthiness and the citrus creaminess add richness. This is a wowser of a dish not to be missed. 2) Quail: Whole quail cut up in quarters seems dusted in corn starch batter and fried similar to Japanese Kara Agè. Crispy, crunchy, fried in new sweet, clean oil. Two slices of what may be pickled Nopal/cactus paddle were hidden in the sauce. The sauce is buttermilk based with Ancho chile dressing and splotches of chile oil. This dish also seems to reference our Deep South where chicken is marinated in buttermilk prior to frying for moister meat. 3) Fish Taco: Striped Seabass white meat lightly grilled to not dry out the delicate fish. Shredded cabbage and pickled slivered onion dyed red by Jamaica Hibiscus flower all on a purple corn Tortilla. I really couldn't sense the Chipotle/smoky Jalapeño. Elevated street taco style. 4) The 800 day old Mole concept is like many Japanese Rāmen shops where the soup broth ingredients are added to the pot but the pot is never emptied. There is some tiny bit of the original. This Mole seems chock full of herbs that I probably don't know anything about, but could imagine that I tasted chocolate and peanuts. The Confit de Canard/duck like Carnitas is cooked in its own juices and fat for a long time. The skin is fatty, lush, rich. The meat is plush, moist, soft. It is the perfect Confit. Do I sense a hint of lardon to add a porky smokiness? Jamaica pickled onions to clear the palate with a gastrique, and cool lime crema to refresh the mouth. Thick, chewy, soft yet firm purple corn Tortillas to make your own Taco de Pato. 1-4a) A Tí Ni is a portmanteau of the name of the restaurant and the Ni in Martini as explained by the ever busy, hard working bartender. Mezcal based so there is a cloying smokiness, smooth sweetness. Also added Ayuuk Pasilla spirit which is pasilla mixe chiles grown by the indigenous Mixe people in Oaxaca, Mexico, smoke-dried. Japanese gin for more refined herbals and Vermouth. Hoja Santa oil which some sense as earthy, anise, eucalyptus. This was the perfect pairing to the entire meal although it sang amazingly well with the Tuna Tostada. 5) Budino is Italian chocolate Mousse, but this time Mexicanized by the use of Oaxacan chocolate and addition of Hoja Santa oil. Perhaps this was inspired by pre-conquest Mexican Emperors who were one of the elite to imbibe bitter chocolate with sacred herbs. This version is extra heavy, thick and chocolatey with subliminal earthiness. Unfortunately, there is no coffee to pair the bitter with the sweet. With the demise of Babita and Taco María, A Tí seems to be one of the few premier Mexican American restaurants carrying the torch for "La Cocina Nueva Mexicana Norte Americana". Sampling Chef Ponce's technically superior and inspired cuisine, I get the feeling Guide Michelin recognition may be coming its way. 4+ stars PS I get A Tí wants to be cool and hip which is fine. The room gets so dark that it's a shame that it does not do justice to the food. Seeing his creations in better light must be glorious. Some minor service glitches such as trying to swiftly whisk away dishes I haven't quite finished without asking. The well meaning staff doesn't yet seem to have developed a finer intuitive sense.

    A Ti is a neat, cozy Mexican with Asian influence restaurant that has some tasty bites. We showed up at opening without a reservation and were able to sit at the bar (if you go early even with 4 people you can likely sit outside). A tini was a nice spirit forward drink that tasted elevated but still easy to drink. Tuna Tostada - love the flavors here. Quality of fish was good and worked really well with the aioli and lan ga ma-esque seasoning Shrimp - good tasty bites here. Love the cook and sauce that was brushed on Beef tacos - skippable. Like a quality version of a basic ground beef taco but not worth it when there's more worthwhile items on the menu Wish I had space for some of the entrees. Bartender was awesome and help. Plaza parking available.

    Tuna tostada
    Lissa L.

    Dine LA is what brought us to A Ti. We'd heard about this restaurant all of 2025 and we finally paid a visit to see what the fuss was all about. So glad we did! Please note though that the space is tiny. Tables are close together like they are at Sugarfish or Matu. If you arrive early for your reservation, expect to be asked to wait outside for a few minutes before getting sorted out. Additionally, parking is problematic. A Ti is in a strip mall but there are only maybe 10 or so spaces, so if they're taken up by customers of the other stores, you'll need to circle around the block. Now the food. We all chose the tuna tostadas as our first course and we were all so happy we did. The tuna was pounded flat and garnishes with some sort of salsa and chili oil. It was flavorful and crispy and was perfectly balanced. Not greasy even with the chili oil and salsa negra. It could've stood to have more tuna but I was in love. The crispy beef taco was a standout. My son loved it so much he had to have a couple more! The tortilla has a gorgeous mouthfeel to it - even with the hot beef and cheese filling, it maintained its structural integrity. The salsa completed it - it's the needed acid to help offset all that umami. The Wagyu steak was also wonderful. And it's a surprisingly generous portion! We loved it with the soft tortilla. The green onions were a little hard to manage because they're served to you whole and slicing them after they'd been cooked in oil is a bit tricky. Otherwise, it's a beautiful entree. For dessert we got the budino. It's not part of the dine LA offering but I suggest getting this! Their version has some sort of sea salt on top which truly brought out the cocoa flavors. Not too sweet! All in all, this night was a success. Shoutout to Daniel for being so attentive to our needs. Now we know what to expect. And we're definitely coming back so we can try everything else on the menu!

    Visited A Tí on a Friday night and we had a reservation for an outdoor table. After being outside I would have preferred to be inside. However, It did look rather small inside. Service was overall acceptable. We started with chips and guacamole, which was surprisingly very tasty the chips had good zest and flavor. I ordered a couple cocktails, but the standout cocktail for me was the nopal it was fantastic. We tried the fish tacos which had a good flavor and a great salsa that balanced out the rest of the ingredients. The beef tacos were not good they were oily and had no flavor. Overall, I'd say try A Tí once.

    Boozy agua Fresca with mezcal
    Janine M.

    Walked in tonight to try their DineLA offerings. I liked that there was a small private lot, a rarity on Sunset. The only thing open for seating was at the bar. The boozy agua Fresca with mezcal was divine! Onto the food.. the DineLA menu featured an app, a taco and a main. By far, the star was the app for me- the Caesar salad. I could eat this every day! The lettuce was fresh, crisp and had a lemony flavor. The crouton bits were obviously house made and so full of flavor. I wish there had been more than four in my salad. The dressing and cheese coating were perfection. Next I had a beef taco. It was ok.. the cheese on top tasted vegan-y (is that a word?). The sauce made it more palatable, but this one gave me some heartburn later. For the main, I went with the arrachera. I wanted to love it, but the seasoning was a bit much and the outer parts were charred. The blue nixtamal mini tortillas made the first bite tolerable until it wasn't. My friend had the duck mole, and that was absolutely chef's kiss! I wish I had chosen that. The staff were attentive and friendly. I would definitely come back for a do over and get the mole.

    Came to this place for dinner and I absolutely loved their ambiance. Their low lighting and decor really added to the food experience. I started with a few appetizers like the tuna tostada, Kanpacha tostada, red snapper ceviche and their aguachiles. All food was 10/10. I also had their crispy beef taco but was not impressed by it. My friend had the oyster mushroom and swore it was amazing. For their main dish we got the duck with 800 day old mole along with the Arranchera . The main dishes were shareable however the appetizer tostadas were really not. Would be nice if they had smaller tostadas so it could be shared. Overall I give this place a high recommendation. Also! There is parking available when you drive into the place. Service was 10/10. The waiter was very attentive and helped us with any question we had in regard to our food.

    A modern Mexican bistro located in a small strip mall on Sunset Blvd. While there are tacos, mole, and ceviches in the menu it is not your typical Mexican fare. Nearly everything on the menu is a modern interpretation of traditional Mexican. The Mole with duck confit was delicious. The quail was crispy with a slight kick. The sweet potato taco was recommended by our server and it didn't disappoint. The El Pastor was not quite what I had expected. Instead of thin layers of pork it had chucks of pork belly. Overall a refreshing take on Modern Mexican cuisine.

    Pescado (branzino)

    dark, moody ambience on a casual saturday night. we opted to sit at the bar. tables are a bit on the smaller side. bar seating was perfect for us since we were able to order drinks quickly. i'm not big on trying a bunch of random cocktails and deviating from my martini, but i was surprised at some of the quality and flavor profiles of some of these cocktails. even the margarita, with mezcal, which i'm not the hugest fan of along with the sweetness, but it was pleasant. not that i'd order again, but was fun to try. michelada was also good. the scallop aguachile was fresh with a good kick. the fish tacos were grilled, which i loved. the fish was very high quality. best fish taco i had in a while. i was still hungry so i also ordered the mushroom taco, which didn't leave me missing any kind of protein. flavor explosion and delicious. the atun tostada was awesome as well. and then finally the pescado. chef's kiss with the verde sauce. one of the best branzinos i've had in recent memory with the homemade tortillas, which appear to be made out of blue corn. our bartender was also very chill, knowledgeable, and a great hipster mixologist. really, really good, high quality mariscos. cocktails were all very inventive. would definitely dine here again on a casual date night or with the boys. only slight con was the parking situation - cramped but they do have their own lot. otherwise, street parking is cluster F.

    I recently discovered this delightful restaurant on the Resy app and was eager to try it. From the moment I walked in, the inviting atmosphere and vibrant vibe set the perfect tone for my dining experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and offered fantastic recommendations, which was especially helpful for my first visit. The seating arrangements were ample, with a comfortable indoor area and a lovely outdoor space. I opted to dine outside, taking advantage of the cool evening breeze and the romantic lighting that made for a charming atmosphere. When it came to the food, I ordered several dishes: aguachile, al pastor tacos, crispy beef tacos, and mole. Each item was nothing short of delicious, bursting with flavor. However, the standout for me was undoubtedly the al pastor tacos. As a fan of al pastor, I can confidently say that these tacos rank among the top three I have ever tasted. Each bite was a perfect blend of flavors, complemented beautifully by the succulent pineapple pieces. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with my experience and the quality of the dishes. I would 1000% return and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking mouthwatering LA-Mexican cuisine!

    A little gem in echo park that serves modernized Mexican food! The place itself is so cozy and romantic with so many candles everywhere in a dark room. Parking is a little hard to find if there's none in their small lot, so come early! We must've had a big appetite because we virtually ordered almost everything, from a bunch of appetizers that includes chip and guac, tostada, and scallops, to every single taco they have, to a big entree with beans on the side, and end the dinner with their unique pumpkin tamales. Highlights are the super flavorful and crispy quail, and the very meaty al pastor tacos. The crispy beef tacos remind me of the ones back at Tito's tacos where they serve crispy shell tacos with American shredded cheddar on top, with tomato sauce as a dip! It was a fun unique take on that. Everything was great! While service did miss one of my drinks, they responded quickly and comped it, which was a pleasant surprise. All in all, I would come back here again and enjoy the vibes and great food!

    All the food was sooo good and flavorful! Ranking of what I had: 1. Tuna tostada - flavor bomb, but can feel pricey for $18. Haven't had a tuna tostada like this before though 2. Oyster mushroom tacos - beautiful combo of sour, salty and richness 3. Al pastor - delicious 4. Branzino - great flavor 5. Duck mole - delicious and interesting elevation The aguafresca with mezcal was on the sour side, but all the food was amazing! Props to my friend James for recommending this place! Yummm yummmm FYI they take reservations and there's a parking lot in front with free parking

No RSVP is required and our party just simply walked in at 8 PM sharp. Free admission, but 21+ only. [Pro tip]: Please come as early as the cocktail lounge can get pretty crowded within 15 minutes of opening time (8 PM). Otherwise Mahjong tables will be taken up pretty quickly. [Experience]: There were 7 beginner tables on the 2nd level and 9 advanced table on the 1st level. The lounge had DJ playing music so the lounge can get a bit loud. The beginner tables had two laminated pages on how to read Mahjong tiles and how to play Hong Kong style Mahjong. The players at the beginner tables were friendly and our table played open-hand, but it would be great if an actual instructor can teach us more advanced rules. Restroom (unisex) was quite clean. [Conclusion]: Expect packed crowd on Mahjong nights with friendly Mahjong players, but this is not exactly the best place to really learn how to play Mahjong. I see this lounge as more of a place to socialize with other strangers.

    Night out in LA…read more Parking: Welcome to LA where finding a parking spot sucks a--. Highly recommend getting dropped off or carpooling. We got lucky with steering parking two streets away. Ambiance/Environment: Looove the vibes here. They have a small space, so it can get hot real quick. They'll check IDs at the entrance. There's in n out privileges until a certain time. Music: If you're into house music, then this is the lounge for you. They have different DJs during each set. Drinks: They offer beer, cocktails, and wine. I don't remember the names of the beer, but it did the job lol. The Mango Sticky Rice cocktail was really strong; I enjoyed it!

    Melody Lounge is my MOST FAVORITE HIDDEN BAR OF 2026 SO FAR! You can easily walk past by, thinking…read moreits some run down or closed looking restaurant or warehouse looking building.... its tattered fading red curtains gently billowing.... you do a double take, you try to peek inbetween and its all dark.... you decide to jump in anyways and your eyes quickly adjust to beautiful red lanterns hanging in the ceiling, a quaint little bar on its right and seated corners in the left.... move to the bar, meet Sam and start enjoying the scene. You're here to stay and savor the experience. OC holds no flame to these LA vibes. Lots of cool people, they carry local beers and the bartender can serve up some awesome drinks. Do some street parking, check out Chinatown in all its old glory before the gentrification takes over.

    My boyfriend's cousin and his girlfriend came to LA to visit us so we had a full weekend of fun…read moretaking them around the city. To end the night before we headed off to dinner, we stopped by The Semi- Tropic bar for drinks. The parking situation was difficult to say the least-- there is no street parking or parking lot. And the neighborhood behind the bar is filled with park cars. We were lucky and parked at a parking lot that was for the surrounding business (so sorry to the pizza/ weed shop!). We arrived at around 6:30 PM so it wasn't too busy. We were greeted by one of the servers and she gave us options to either sit at a lounge table area or hightop tables. We opted for the hightop tables because we knew we weren't staying there for long. The server was friendly and patient as we looked over the menu for drinks. I've been sober for about a year so I only had water, my boyfriend ordered a Naoshima Dream, his cousin ordered a Mango Cart, and his cousin's girlfriend ordered a Lemon Drop Martini. The bar was super cute and hipster! I honestly would have loved going to this bar back when I used to drink. It's dimly lit, had a vintage 20's speakeasy feel to it and the music was a vibe. I'd recommend coming here for a little date with your partner or even coming with a group of friends. My boyfriend had been here once before and he said the food was really good and affordable. He had a panini and said for bar food it was a 10/10. We waited maybe like 10 minutes for our drinks to come, we were having such a fun time chatting and enjoying the environment that it didn't feel long at all. My boyfriend, his cousin, and his cousin's girlfriend really enjoyed their drinks. They said the drinks tasted "light" insinuating that there was barely any alcohol in it. Don't let the taste fool you, after finishing half of their drink there were full of smiles, giggles, and had a great buzz going. The prices here were all pretty fair for the cost and quality of the drinks. Would defintely recommend coming here for drinks and dinner for a date night or a night out with friends!
