Wanted something close to our hotel (JW Marriott) that was baby friendly. It was pretty inside and…read moremoderately slow/calm so we decided to choose here. Our server was so kind and even attentive to my slightly fussy baby (he mentioned he had kids, so he understands). Our drinks were amazing! We did get a margarita flight but the Tamarindo Margarita I ordered prior was my absolute favorite (not in the flight). For our appetizer we got the Pork Belly Bites which were pretty good. I usually don't like fatty portions on meat but the sauce sent it over the edge for me! My entree is what almost lost a star for me... I ordered one of the chef specials: Tacos de Hongo and my mom got Chicken Tinga tacos. In short, I was expecting soooo much flavor from the entree but disappointment met my tastebuds. The Chicken Tinga tacos however were fire! The desserts made up for the letdown tenfold. We got Butter Cake and Tres Leches. Both were equally delectable!

I'm a big fan of Javier's and I'm glad they are in DTLA across the street from Crypto.com Arena…read more(aka Staples Center) and the Convention Center. It's upscale Mexican food so be prepared for upscale prices. The interior is very similar to other Javier's locations and it's really a vibe inside. Once you step inside, the restaurant opens up and the space is quite massive. Servers are nice and your food comes out pretty quickly. I always stick to the shrimp and crab enchiladas and it never disappoints. There's the perfect amount of tomatillo sauce and there is a good portion of seafood inside the enchiladas. After loading up on house chips and salsa, these enchiladas always hit the spot. I've also tried the lamb chops and they were delicious. There were four individual pieces perfectly cooked medium rare. I would definitely order it again!

I came here this past Saturday evening for a friend's birthday dinner…read more The service was exceptional. We pre-ordered our main dishes, and the staff knew exactly who received each meal without needing name cards at our seats. The atmosphere was fantastic, versatile enough for both a fancy night out and a casual dinner. I ordered the salmon with mashed potatoes and vegetables, and the dish was phenomenal. Considering the high quality of the food and service, it was well worth the price. This is easily my favorite location, and I look forward to returning next time I am in Los Angeles.

Wow, what an awesome place. My wife and I loved everything we had. Place is pretty small and was…read more100% capacity the entire time we were there. We went during an off time so peak times I would expect a wait. We really blew our diets but it was worth it. We shared a small order of fries topped with chorizo, chipotle mayo, crumbled cheese, and raw jalapeno. It was soooo good and the small order was perfect for two without ruining your appetite. For my entree I had the Navajo taco which was a giant fry bread topped with red chile beef, beans, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and chipotle aioli. This was a true masterpiece of flavors. The fry bread was like a savory funnel cake flavor. Crunchy exterior and fluffy cloud like interior. The beef was melt in your mouth tender. My wife had hers with ground beef, potato, and green chile. They had a lot of different protein choices. Should have stopped at this point but they had a pumpkin pie filling stuffed sopapilla. It was made to order so it took awhile and came out steaming hot. It was served with two scoops of ice cream so it's perfect for sharing. It was pure heaven and we devoured it. Service was great but these ladies were doing everything. Taking orders, cleaning tables, packing up orders, putting final touches on foods, washing dishes. It was crazy yet they always kept a smile on their faces through the chaos. My wife and I cannot wait to try more items on the menu! Worth the drive!

Wanted a New Mexican meal so took the 90 minute drive to LA Mirada…read more Smaller than I expected and 3/4 full on a Sunday afternoon. We had the green chile and pork, a traditional dish. It was okay, but definitely not Hatch chilies. Hatch chilies are now in season so they could have used them. The sopapillas were just like in Santa Fe so 3 stars were raised to 4. I guess a flight to New Mexico is in order if you want a real New Mexican meal. Not worth the long drive, but they tried.

Service is fantastic, and the food comes out quickly! The ambiance is so nice and there was a live dj and a live fire performance the night I went! You can park at the connecting hotel and get validation, so parking ends up being $15.

Me and some friends went for DineLA week where the dinner menu was $55/person. Half of us got the…read more Picanha and the other half got the mango chicken. The picanha was average at best. It was kind of chewy and dry and under seasoned for beef. The mango chicken was dry. The side of mashed potatoes, mid at best too. Tasted like a mix between instant and actual potatoes. For $55, go to H&H or Fogo. Not only are they AYCE, but they taste better too. Lastly, they add a 4% CA benefit charge to every check. I hate it when restaurants do that. JUST RAISE YOUR PRICES BY 4%. The service was friendly. But it took them a long time to bring the cocktail we ordered. By the time they brought it over we were pretty much done. Final verdict, skip this place.

Tacos were BOMB.COM…read more Love supporting the more mom and pop vibe restaurants. Tacos x meat was fresh and cooked to perfection. Love how hot sauce and jalapeños are unlimited and you can grab them a from the side counter. That alone is such a game changer when it comes to eating at taco spots. The environment and ambiance was very cool and hip. Nice touch of funny taco puns and art around the restaurant. Service was self served iPad making it easy and convenient and the food came out at a solid speed. Definitely a taco spot your don't want to miss especially if you want a nice sit down spot.

this was a random step in to have a bite on my walk. to my…read moresurprise- SO GOOD ! parking- idk honestly, cause it's ktown and on the main street of western.. price- very good for a restaurant, each taco was about 2.95 and queso tacos were 3.95. so worth it. to upgrade to kbbq short ribs (fave) is a $1 and so so worth. food- got a birria taco - delicious. spicy pork belly queso taco - delicious. and my fave- korean short ribs queso taco. DELICIOUS. their tortilla chips are also good to munch on. not too salty and the salsa was fresh, limey, salty. just all good. the only no good (for me) - i did not like the horchata, i would not get again. aim for the jarritos. you cant go wrong with it. overall- id def come back here again. the customizable options made a world of a difference. the food was fantastic with its price. must try! ps: no bathroom lol

I had such a great experience at Casita in Sherman Oaks! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was…read morecute and welcoming, and the overall experience was even better because of our server, Oceana. She was so friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. She was genuinely kind and made us feel very taken care of without being overbearing. Great service can really make or break a dining experience, and Oceana definitely made ours a memorable one. I'll definitely be coming back!

Thankfully, the management was very kind and understanding and quickly resolved the situation, making sure we were seated where we had originally requested. To make up for the misunderstanding, they also kindly took the first string off our bill, which we really appreciated. It was such a thoughtful gesture. In the end, everything worked out perfectly. The atmosphere was great, the food was enjoyable, and we had a wonderful evening. We really appreciated how the management handled everything and made sure we left happy. We would definitely come back!

It's been years since I've dined at Panxa Cocina.. and after today's experience, I greatly regret…read moremy time away. We had family in town and needed a last minute reservation on a Sunday for 12 people. The qualifications: AC and delicious food. Panxa Cocina fit all of the above and the entire squad left the restaurant raving about their experience. Our crew shared a bit of everything fried squash, queso, ceviche, enchiladas, and their verde chilaquiles with over easy eggs and chicken. Each of these items were delicious, but I'd return for the ceviche and chilaquiles. The ceviche was a delicious mix of sweet and salty. Their tortilla chips are made fresh in-house and paired perfectly with the fresh cut fish. I was also impressed by their cocktails. With family in town, we visited a number of fan-favorite restaurants across the coastline. Panxa stole the show for best mixed drink: the watermelon margarita. Excited to live so close and make this a consistent haunt.

Really brings me no pleasure to do this, but this is my forth visit and it was such a step down…read morefrom the previous visits. End of the day, a $68 bill pre-tip for a less than genrous plate of ($16??) guac and 4 very small tacos with no rice or beans included and one draft Modelo is just unacceptable. The tacos were adequate, but unspectacular. 'Filet mignon' tacos were a single unchopped hunk of meat well flavored but so bare and small for 2x $22. The guac was too refrigerated, with not fully ripened avocado that resulted in an overly sweet taste and slightly firm texture that was unpleasant. Chips were also just not very good, and also not as far as I could tell complimentary. Service gets high marks for speed and efficiency, but felt super impersonal. Example, a server asked us how everything was while we were clearly just sitting there, not having tasted any of it waiting for some limes to arrive at the table. Just asked the question without surveying at all, and it was very performative and not genuine. Which is fine. I'm not at all mad at the servers, tough job but worth noting when noting the tip % options on the POS. End of the day I don't know if I'll be back or not. Everybody has an off day. But just about every aspect was less than stellar(draft beer was excellent) especially compared to three previous excellent visits. It's getting harder to justify going out for dinner, and at these prices, I would hope they could do a little better.
