Marina R.

Excellent food, incredible hospitality! As a local Southern California Realtor, I show properties everywhere from the desert to the sea--including right here in the Los Feliz and Atwater Village areas. When you're out looking at real estate all day, you need a fantastic place to unwind, and @CasaChida was perfect. The service from the entire team was top-notch, but a special thank you goes to Rafael. His extra wonderful treatment truly made my clients feel right at home! The food was delicious. Our aguachile was just a little too spicy for our taste, but the staff could not have been more accommodating, quickly exchanging the dish for us without a single issue. Outstanding service and great food. Highly recommend!

Carne asada plate
Taveetha H.

If you're thinking about eating here just do it ! This is my first time and the food is AMAZING! Flavors are spot on and the portions are huge. The owner and staff are super friendly. You definitely don't see too many authentic restaurants like this one anymore. ** Mole sauce reminds me of the one my mom used to make me when I was younger after the first bite of my food I immediately started planning my next visit to try something else. Worth the drive from Long Beach

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!

Taco Combination Plate

We tried the restaurant for the first time a few weeks ago and the food was delicious and the service was great. Maybe we just timed it right, Sunday evenings are a good time. Very welcoming for families and kids.

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.

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

Mole plate. Rice, beans and flour tortillas.
Mother H.

First time at Casa Chida. Thanks to a friend that is a regular. We had a wonderful time eating out in the patio and watching the game. We had so many appetizers that did not disappoint. The agua chile, esquite, friend bean and ceviche were our favorites. Tried their mole and it I enjoyed it. The serving sizes are very generous so be ready to eat here. The staff and owner were friendly and attentive. The space is very hip with a twist of Spanish hacienda. Cute, nostalgic and hip all around.

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.

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!

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.

I wanted to order all the things but I exercised some restraint and just ordered the CARAMELO ($8.75 - Flour tortilla, pinto beans, Monterey Jack cheese, avocado salsa, salsa roja, avocado, cabbage.). I picked chorizo as my protein option. I also, of course, had to also add the smoky grilled poblano chile for $1.25. It was SO good and FLAVORFUL - it didn't even need the salsas. Although, I will note that both the salsas were lovely. The flour tortilla was clearly freshly made. Also, it was a massive portion. I don't know what I was expecting. If this is the size of their caramelo, I don't want to know how giant the burrito is. I also had to get the cucumber agua fresca to pair with my caramelo. It was perfectly sweetened and wonderfully refreshing. I'll have to make my way back here now to try the burrito 2.0 and chivichanga.

Cute building with lovely patio seating: from the trailing hanging pothos plants, Spanish tiles, to relaxing latin-house music the vibes were welcoming. I'm not much of a drinker though, when asked if I wanted to make my pina colada a "float" I thought incorrectly about ice cream. It was graciously explained that you take an additional shot of rum and float it on top of the drink or mix in to make it extra boozy. The pina colada is top notch they hollow out a real pineapple to make the drink and it's the size of your face! The watermelon cocktail was delicious and there is also a mezcal option. Tasted like if a watermelon aqua Fresca was combined with a margarita, there is a hint of salt that brings out the fruit sweetness. We special ordered a bunch of different proteins and vegetables at half portions to make a feast: Aguachile- Light refreshing starter, kanpachi perfectly marinated and great for the summer heat. Crispy potato- Phenomenally done fingerling potatoes. Whipped beans- Carnitas on top made this dish. Fried chicken tacos- Found the chicken slightly on the dry side, if there was a creamy/thicker sauce would be even better... nothing wrong with flavor, good mild heat. I did enjoy the fresh shredded cabbage and carrots, reminded me of bahn mi. Empanadas- Loved the acidity of the sauce that cut through the fattiness of the ground meat. Light shell. Crispy Squash flower- Delicate crunch, like an angelic version of a jalapeno popper. Lamb chops- Definition of "treat-yourself" luxurious meat lollipops. Celery salad- Simple dish but the lemon flavor and tartness really helped break up the richness of other dishes. Churros- Light crunch and small, petite dessert. The thin caramel sauce is addicting. Fine dining, for those special occasions or if you just want to splurge for a morale boost highly recommend this restaurant.

The staff are lovely humans who really seem to care about their customers. We have some faves on the menu. The bean dip is fabulous and I'm addicted to the baby gem salad. They have recently amped up the filling in the delicious crispy squash blossoms and I love the acidity and heat. The fish is also a hit in my books. One dish that doesn't work for me is the lamb chops, which is a shame since it's my favorite protein. I've ordered them multiple times with clear instructions on temperature and have found them overcooked and tough. The beef tostada was just ok. Whilst I loved the pickled veg on the side, the beef was underseasoned. It wasn't bad - just not up to the standard of other dishes. The vibe in the place is welcoming and the restaurant is nicely appointed. We will continue to be regulars and it's really worth trying if you haven't been yet.

Located between Koreatown and Pico-Union, this restaurant delivers an outstanding dining experience from the moment you're seated. My wife and I both ordered the Mole Coloradito with chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. One detail we really appreciated was being able to choose between white meat or dark meat--a thoughtful touch that lets you customize your meal to your preference. The mole was rich, complex, and full of flavor, exactly what you would hope for from a restaurant known for its Oaxacan specialties. As a welcome appetizer, they bring fresh chips and salsa to the table, but what really impressed us was when they replaced the salsa with their incredible mole sauce. It was so good we found ourselves dipping everything into it. Both meals were served with rice that was perfectly cooked with a great consistency and flavor. For those feeling adventurous, give the Chapulines (grasshoppers) a try. They may sound intimidating, but they were surprisingly enjoyable and added to the authentic experience. The staff was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and patient with those of us who are not fluent in Spanish. Their hospitality made us feel comfortable and welcomed throughout our visit.

One of the reasons I recommended Mirate is because it's known for being a highly rated modern Mexican restaurant with exceptional service and knowledgeable staff, especially when it comes to tequila and mezcal. Unfortunately, that was not my experience at all. Before ordering food, I asked our server about the differences between the mezcals and which flight they would recommend. The only explanation I received was, "It's just different families, so I'd go with the higher quality one." There was no real information or guidance, and it was obvious they didn't know much about the mezcal selection. I ended up choosing one based solely on what sounded best. We were then informed that the menu had recently changed and is now mostly tapas. That's perfectly fine, but I noticed several items from my previous visit were still available, so I figured I'd order a few favorites along with some new dishes. Most of the food was actually great. The ribeye tacos, tostada, and buñuelitos were all delicious. However, the carne asada was extremely disappointing. We only sent back one plate because I felt bad sending both, and that's when a manager (the gentleman with the man bun) came over. He explained that they have a new chef from Oaxaca, but what confused me was that they were serving Argentinian-style steaks as their carne asada. Instead of a traditional Mexican-style cut, it was thin, flat, and honestly looked like a breakfast steak. For a restaurant that prides itself on being a modern Mexican restaurant, serving Argentinian steak as carne asada just didn't make sense to me. To his credit, he removed both carne asada plates from our bill, which I genuinely appreciated. After that, he asked if there was anything else we'd like. I personally said no, but someone else at the table asked for one more ribeye taco. The manager replied, "You know what? I'll bring you one, and I'll bring them another too." Naturally, I assumed he was offering the extra taco as a goodwill gesture since I hadn't ordered anything else. Imagine my surprise when I looked at the bill and realized both tacos had been added to our tab. I wasn't going to argue over the price of a taco, but it was frustrating because I never asked for it. In fact, I ended up giving that taco away to my friends. If it wasn't complimentary, it shouldn't have been presented as if it were. Another thing worth mentioning is that while the carne asada portion has clearly gotten much smaller, the price remains exactly the same, which doesn't seem justified. Overall, my biggest disappointment is that there was no indication when making the reservation that this was essentially an experimental period with a new chef introducing major menu changes. Had I known beforehand, I never would have recommended Mirate for our dinner, and to be completely honest, I probably wouldn't have made a reservation at all. I only get two days off each month, so this was supposed to be something I could really enjoy. Instead, it honestly felt like a waste of my time and money. I'm sorry to say that while there were a few good moments, they faded very quickly. Unfortunately, the negative parts are what have stayed with me, and that's what I'll remember most about the experience. It's disappointing because I know how great Mirate can be since I experienced it just a few weeks ago. I truly hope they can regain the quality of food, service, and overall experience that made me recommend it in the first place . ( for the picture of the flat carne asada the full steak has 2 more strips added but we had tried it before taking a picture however that's MOST of the "carne asada" portion in the picture )

100% worth the wait.

It was a large fish that was easily shareable. It came with rice and beans and also tortillas. The other item I tried was the sea urchin in a shell. It tasted cold and fresh and the flavors were mild. The last item I tried was the Baja taco it was crispy and a thick fish with a little dressing inside it like mayo and a little spicy kick.
