    Patio

    I've been to Casa Chida a few times now for dinner and brunch, and the food has been consistently really good. The asada and carnitas tostadas are excellent, but the carnitas one surprised me with just how much meat they piled on there. The carnitas were super juicy and perfectly cooked, and the tostada itself was crispy without being thick or greasy. They load it up with plenty of veggies too. It's easily enough for two meals, or one meal if you show up absolutely starving and have made some questionable decisions... don't judge me lol. The pozole is also really good -- but it's a little spicy, but tons of flavor. The chicken fajitas are another winner. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the portion was generous, and you're definitely not leaving hungry. I also really like that they make the tortillas by hand. It's a small thing, but it makes everything just a little better. The patio is beautiful and probably my favorite place to sit. Inside is really comfortable too, with low lighting that gives it a nice relaxed vibe. Definitely recommend giving Casa Chida a try. Good food, big portions, handmade tortillas, and apparently they have no interest in letting anyone leave hungry. Extra points for being in my neighborhood, so it's a no brainer when I'm craving Mexican!

    3 Taco Combination Plate
    Mar D.

    Walked in on a Thursday around 3 pm and the place was nearly empty with only some loyal bar regulars. I love the design of the place, it feels authentic and classy. I loved the music on the speakers too. We sat in the main dining room and it was nice to have the place to ourselves. The service seemed casual, for being empty there were a couple times where we had to get up to get the attention of a server. Bf and I both got taco combos: 1 fish, 1 asada, 1 birria, rice and beans. What I noticed right away was how little meat was in the taco compared to the size of the tortilla. Disappointing. The asada, beans, and rice all had good flavor though so I enjoyed them. Sadly, the birria was a let down. It was drowned in odd spices, it made the both of our stomachs upset afterwards. Over all I would only revisit this place for the ambiance and the drinks, not really for the food.

    Stopped by after a long drive. It was conveniently located by gas stations. They have an outdoor seating which I love because my son was able to play around. I'm sure looks even cuter at night with the patio lights. The staff were welcoming. Love the complimentary chips with bean dip. The inside had a bar and grand piano. My hibiscus margarita was refreshing! I ordered their carnitas enchiladas and it was pretty good.

    Came here for lunch with colleagues. We ordered the combination 3 tacos for $20 with rice and beans, ceviche, and $24 filet of sole with rice and beans. Everything was delicious! Good service, nice ambiance and best of all, free parking on the lot! I'll be back!

    We visited this spot for the first time since its latest transformation, having known it previously as Home and Ivanhoe. The new owners have given the space a nice cosmetic refresh, though the patio remains as inviting as ever. We were warmly greeted by the hostess and chose to sit inside. Despite it being a Sunday evening, the atmosphere was relaxed and uncrowded. Our server, Jessica, was fantastic--friendly and attentive. I tried the Beef Birria Torta, which reminded me of the savory lechon sandwich from Porto's, paired with some truly delicious Mexican potatoes. My wife enjoyed her Avocado & Mushroom Hard Taco, though she noted the shell was a standard American-style hard taco rather than an authentic taco dorado. A tip on the drinks: I'd recommend sticking with the Jamaica, which was great for $6. However, I'd suggest skipping the La Playa Verde Mocktail. We paid $12 for a glass that was 3/4 filled with ice (as you can see in my photo), which felt like a poor value compared to the Jamaica. We capped the night with a delicious flan since they were out of tres leches. As they are still in their soft opening, I'd love to see café de olla added to the menu! Overall, great service and solid food.

    I came here with my Bf last night to try it out since it changed from Ivanhoe to Casa Chida and we were sat in a really small table since it was just us two. There weren't a lot of people on the inside and I was expecting to sit at a bigger table because in our table we could barely fit our drinks, waters, and our appetizers which were just chips so I was worried our main course would not fit in the table. The server was mumbling his words so it was so hard to understand him as well as the way he was tending to us when I would ask a question about the menu he seemed to be sarcastically questioning my question like he was unsure of the menu itself. He served us the chips and salsa and beans which was a small portion of the dips so my bf and I were hungry so once we finished it no one came to us for awhile to get our order and asked if we wanted more chips and salsa. He then took our order and after 10 mins he said our food would take 30-40 mins to cook which I just ordered a carne asada plate and my bf ordered a chicken enchilada. He mumbled the reason why it was gonna take a long time and just walked off. We ended up ordering more chips and guacamole because the food was taking so long and we were hungry. After 40 mins of waiting my bf and I were getting full off of chips and water that when the main meal got to our table we were not enjoying our food anymore. The food was okay, carne asada and chile relleno was salty and the rice was so little. They had a big group of people outside that came after we got seated and I feel like they were prioritized before us which was honestly annoying while we sat there waiting for someone to ask if we needed something or just check in on us after waiting that long. I probably would not have this place at the top of my list that I would eat at again.

    Large sides

    Took the hubby here for a family dinner and was not disappointed. The food is amazing. The service was great and the decor even better. This place has been various things, and I feel like the new owners will be successful and hoping it remains authentic Mexican cuisine. One thing that especially stuck out was they weren't stingy with any sides and salsas. The layout is pretty much the same. I will be looking forward to booking their private dining area. It's a very cute spot and they altered themselves with the decor and the bar aesthetics. Plus the fireplace and water features outside give a calm and feng shui vibe. Thank you for having us and the large portions of food were a definite, plus!

    Molcajete $37
    Bianka G.

    I remember when this was Home , Ivanhoe, and now Casa Chida. The restaurants before were always busy and served a great brunch. Not sure what happened and now they are a full on Mexican restaurant. I love Mexican food so I'm all for it! Which makes another good Mexican option for the area. We were a large group (party of 12) celebrating a birthday. We came in around 6:30 on a Tuesday night. They have live music on Tuesdays so that added a nice touch to the birthday ambiance. Especially when the guitarist played "happy birthday" Service was really great. Staff were constantly checking in and we all felt really taken care of. We tried the margaritas (classic and hibiscus) and they tasted fresh and delicious. Not overly strong, solid drinks. They also provide complimentary chips with salsa and bean dip. The bean dip was really good - had a little kick to it. We were all fans of it. We ordered the grilled Chiles plate for our appetizer- about 6 jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, bacon , and cheese with a side of chipotle sauce. YUM- think jalapeño poppers but better. No photos because they were gone in a flash. Majority of us ordered the 3 taco combination plate comes with rice and beans, the carne asada plate, Molcajete, carnitas plate, and tomahawk. For your 3 tacos you can choose from a variety of proteins- mix and match. On Tuesdays it's $17, regular day $19. My fav that I tried was the carnitas taco. We all agreed the birria taco was overly salty. The carne asada was good and that chile relleno was very good. The Molcajete came out hot and paired with homemade tortillas. The tomahawk plate was huge and came with chorizo queso fundido - Yummy. They brought out dessert and sang happy birthday! It was a pretty positive night. I would love to come back and try them out for brunch. All in all, it's a cool new spot and I shall return!

    Chicken burrito
    Isabella S.

    Been here a couple of times and both were great experiences! Service was really good as well which definitely drew us to coming back! The chips and salsa + bean dip was really good. The salsa was warm which was different but tasted amazing esp when you dip it in both the bean dip and salsa. The burrito was good but it was just the meat and veggies - rice and beans were on the side but I think it would've been better inside the burrito. Still good and I liked how they gave half and half of each sauce. The owner was really nice and came up to our table multiple times too. The first time I went we sat inside bc it was raining but the second time we sat at a booth outside and it was such a vibe with the lights I really enjoyed it! Also good for a bigger group which can be hard to find in LA

    Guacamole Fresco $14 (serving is small)
    Patricia D.

    I went for Sunday brunch and had a poor first impression, will likely not be back. - They don't allow tacos to be sold à la carte; they only come in a plate. - We ordered the Guacamole Fresco, which comes with chicharrones, but weren't told they were out until we saw it missing from the plate (see photo).They still charged us full price, $14, and I've had better guacamole. -The Mushroom Hard Tacos were OK, but they were not satisfying at all. One star was for the refried beans; it was the best thing I ate. The second star was for the free parking. Our meal cost $75.54, excluding tip. (See photo). Overall, I gave it a try, and I wish them the best of luck!

    Queso Fundido w chorizo, a bit too heavy for me.
    Scott J.

    The ambiance was nice, the service good, the margaritas tasty, but I was left wanting more from the food. My favorite item was the complimentary bean dip, which was delicious! Chilaquiles - 3 stars. I really didn't enjoy the taste of this at all. Queso Fundido - 3 stars. A bit too heavy and greasy, I didn't enjoy this much either. Tostada Salad - 3 1/2 stars. Best item of the brunch. This was good with a crispy and tasty shell, but the brown avocado was a turnoff for me. I think if a few of the menu items were tweaked a little this could be a really great addition to the Silverlake scene.

    Hibiscus Margarita & Chida Margarita. Both tasty.
    Nikki B.

    This location has been several incarnations over the years - Rudolpho's, Home, Ivanhoe, & now Casa Chida, which means cool house in Spanish. I must point out that the décor here is very cool. The vibe at the bar/lounge area is chill, and the Spanish music sets a festive mood. The dining room is spacious and the outdoor patio features cozy booths and a big screen tv. I met some friends here for Happy Hour on a Monday. I was pleasantly surprised to see that bartender Edgar was still here. (The new owners kept him from the previous establishment.) Happy Hour is from 3 - 6 pm and available anywhere in the restaurant, not just the bar. Every Monday Margaritas are on special all day. They also have deals for Taco Tuesday. We started with drinks and chips & salsa while contemplating our order. The chips were warm & fresh and came with Salsa Verde and creamy refried beans. Both dips were tasty. The Happy Hour Quesadilla contains Chicken Tinga ($13 HH). My friend ordered it, and I requested a plain cheese quesadilla. My other two friends had the Nachos ($10) & Carnitas Sliders ($9). The Quesadilla was loaded with cheese and came with a side of yummy guacamole. I really liked it. I also loved the margaritas. I had the Chida Margarita ($9 on Monday/$10 HH) and the Hibiscus Margarita ($11 on Monday/$12 HH). Both were delish and nicely balanced. The Hibiscus was a tad sweet for those who prefer a sweeter drink. My dining companions enjoyed their beverages and meals. Shout out to Edgar for taking great care of us. I have to say that out of the four incarnations Casa Chida is my favorite.

    Hibiscus margarita and cucumber pineapple margarita.
    Teny S.

    Great food I loved the happy hour. Their carnitas pork sliders were so flavorful. Came with a side of chipotle dressing which was so yummy. The hibiscus margaritas were sweet and tangy at the same time. I loved everything. Great service, great music. Had a great time. Would totally recommend.

    1 Star -- Extremely disappointing experience…read more Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was horrible from the moment we arrived. When I first arrived, I gave them the name of our reservation, and the staff had no idea what I was talking about. We were a party of 6, yet they seated us at a tiny table that was clearly not appropriate for our group. When it was time to order, my husband very clearly told the waiter which pasta he wanted and even showed him a picture of the item on the menu. The waiter looked at it and agreed. My food came out, but my husband's food never did. We eventually found out that his order was never even put in. What made it worse was when the waiter came out saying, "Oh my God, I thought you said you didn't want it." Everyone at the table looked at him completely confused because my husband had literally told him what he wanted and showed him the menu item. Instead of simply acknowledging the mistake and fixing it, we were left waiting. On top of that, trying to get anyone's attention was nearly impossible. We had to repeatedly try to get someone's attention just to get basic service. Then there was another issue with the entrance fee. My sister-in-law had messages showing that we were told that if we ate at the restaurant, we would no longer have to pay the entrance fee. We showed those messages to the woman handling the wristbands, but instead of looking into it or speaking to someone who could clarify the situation, she simply said, "I don't know, you have to pay." No attempt was made to investigate or resolve the issue. After everything that happened, they still added a tip to the bill, despite the extremely poor service we received. Overall, this was one of the most frustrating restaurant experiences I've had. Poor communication, poor service, lack of organization, and no effort to make things right. I definitely will not be recommending this place to anyone, and we will not be returning.

For Dine LA, I started with the Tostada Campechana, which was like an elevated ceviche with scallops, tuna, yellowtail, avocado, and a citrus sesame sauce. Everything tasted super fresh and the citrus gave it the perfect balance. The Bone Marrow Mole was rich, flavorful, and came with a generous portion and toast. For my main course, I had the skirt steak, which was cooked perfectly--tender, well-seasoned, and delicious with the green sauce. The homemade tortillas were amazing too. We ended with the Dulce de Leche Panna Cotta, and it was the perfect finish--creamy, smooth, not overly sweet, and so good we practically cleaned the plate. Amazing food, great portions, beautiful atmosphere, and excellent service. Ka'teen definitely delivered. I would absolutely come back again.

Since they live in an area with limited Mexican cuisine, I chose Guelaguetza, a James Beard Award-winning restaurant with authentic Oaxacan recipes, something completely new to them. They were excited to try something different, as they don't have many Mexican food options where they live, and I wanted to expand their culinary horizons. We were greeted with complimentary chips - some were drizzled with mole and Oaxacan cheese, which we requested refills of, and others were served with red and green salsas. The green salsa had a nice kick to it. For our meal, we shared two large dishes: the Festival de Moles ($53.00) and the Tlayuda Guelaguetza ($27.50). The Tlayuda Guelaguetza, which is also called a Mexican pizza, was layered with bean and chicharron spread, queso fresco, cabbage, quesillo, beef tasajo, pork Cecina, and pork chorizo. While I've always wanted to try Tlayuda, this one wasn't good, and I wouldn't recommend it. The pork chorizo was particularly unappetizing, and neither my parents nor I enjoyed the dish, feeling it was a waste of money. The Festival de Moles ($53.00) featured four individual moles - negro, rojo, coloradito, and estofado - with a choice of shredded chicken breast or pork spare ribs. We opted for a mix of both and found this dish to be excellent, and we would definitely order it again. They were very impressed with the moles, and enjoyed them for the first time. The only minor complaint was a lack of tortillas to dip with the mole, though they did provide some rice. We ordered several drinks, which significantly increased the bill. I was surprised we spent $200 on lunch for three people with only two meals. I started with the Pasion De Oaxaca ($16.00), a mezcal, tequila, passion fruit, grapefruit juice, and tajin cocktail that was excellent, perfectly balanced, strong, but not too sweet. For my second drink, I had the refreshing Aquas Frescas - Jamaica ($6), which was perfect after my meal. I even took it to go, and they kindly provided a cup. My dad ended up taking it, as he needed it with his medication (they're old!). My parents, who were trying mole for the first time, were very impressed and really enjoyed it. Our only minor complaint was the lack of tortillas to dip in the mole, although they did provide some rice. The food took a little longer to come out, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. I imagine this type of cuisine is labor-intensive, and you can't rush the cooking time for mole. You just have to trust the process! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Guelaguetza Restaurante and will definitely be back. I can see why they're a James Beard Award-winning restaurant; you can get authentic Oaxacan flavors in LA! We're lucky to live here.

    Amazing food and drinks and there is live music but it is way too loud in there. The place is huge…read moreand gets packed but I think the speakers need to be turned down. Good for big groups but I don't really recommend if you actually want to have conversation. Got the enchiladas campesinas and mango slushy both of my visits there, it's a huge serving so had leftovers for another meal each time.

    I only came here for the bar so this review is strictly for the drinks. I did not know this place…read morewon Top 50 Bars of America for 3 years in a row, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that sign when we entered. My girls and I were bar hopping in WeHo for our friend's bachelorette and this place was recommended to us for good drinks. We went in with no reservation and the seats downstairs for the open bar area were full, so one of the servers told us we can lounge around at the bar upstairs and grab some chairs until someone kicked us out. Thankfully, we were able to grab a couch and everyone was super friendly and sweet. We ordered some signature cocktails off the menu and as the night went on, we ordered some tequila shots as well. Instead of lime and salt, they gave us our shots with golden berries and salt and wow. I'm definitely going to be taking my tequila shots with this combo! It was sooooo good. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful and very spacious, and the food looked really good too. I'd love to come back with my husband to give them a try!

    I would actually give Mirate a 3.5 because the drinks are phenomenal but the food was a huge let…read moredown. Unfortunately the flavors for the food here fell really flat for us for the most part. We came here for my friend's birthday and her steak was perfectly cooked and delicious. The pulque bread with miso butter and the guac were also delicious appetizers. Those were the 3 best dishes of the night. We also shared the crab bunuelos, the cochinita sopes, and the pulpo tacos. Sopes are my favorite Mexican dish, but these ones were too difficult to cut through/bite through. The pulpo taco, we could mostly taste the tortilla, the pulpo didn't shine through. And the bunuelos were fine, but not something super memorable. One of my friends had the duck emolada, and I had the branzino. As I mentioned, the birthday girl got the steak and that was delicious. But my other friend was really let down by his emolada which he has been wanting to try forever. My branzino was well cooked, the green sauce was pretty good. But the tomatillo greens salad on the dish was possibly one of the worst things I've ever eaten. And I love bitter, and I love greens.... But this was next level where I involuntarily made a sour puss face with each bite. For dessert we had the chocolate cake with cafe de Olla which was moist and good. We also got the pulque with the prickly pear, which was veryyyyyy sweet and none of us cared for that much. (Even tho I usually love prickly pear desserts) The service was nice, no one dropped the ball, but nothing stood out either. The restaurant itself is beautiful but it is open air (with no AC) so it was very hot since we have had so many hot days here in LA. We took a Lyft so we didn't have to worry about parking.
