I'm picky, but Ave 26 delivers every single time. It's super affordable, open 24/7, and there's always plenty of parking, which is a huge win in LA. Plus, it's honestly one of the best spots in town for people-watching while you eat. Let's talk favorites. My absolute must-order is their al pastor burrito with everything. It comes loaded with tons of smoking hot, perfectly seasoned al pastor meat, melted cheese, and incredible flavor. To top it off, they have a solid lineup of tasty salsas and spicy condiments to customize every bite just how you like it. Whether you're wrapping up a late night out or looking for the perfect spot to celebrate after a Dodgers game, Ave 26 has got you covered. Get out there after the win and grab a burrito -- you'll thank me later.

Authentic Flavors in Historic Olvera Street!…read more After reading so many great reviews, I had to see what all the buzz was about, and this place did not disappoint! We ordered the three beef taquitos with cheesy beans and the combo of two taquitos with a chicken tamale, beans, and salsa. The taquitos were perfectly crunchy, generously filled with meat, and packed with authentic flavor! Every bite was delicious, and the beans and salsa complemented everything beautifully. The person taking our order was friendly and welcoming, making our first visit even better. Located in the heart of historic Olvera Street, this spot is surrounded by charming shops, Mexican culture, and plenty of Los Angeles history. Perfect for grabbing a bite and exploring the area! Pro tip: Visit during the week if possible, as parking can be challenging. Seating is limited, so arriving early is a good idea. Overall, delicious food, generous portions, friendly service, and a location full of charm and history! I'll definitely be back to try something new!

Fortunately we arrived just as it was opening, so we were able to secure seating--which is quite limited, especially inside. We were both of the mind that trying the Amboy classic was the right choice, so not much thought was put into other burger choices this time. I opted for the Double Smash Burger style, she tried a single. We also could not decide on one type of loaded fries, so we got one. An order of Chili Cheese Fries, and an order of amboy fries. The chili cheese fries are exactly what you would think they are. The amboy fries are a bit of a riff on animal fries but far better. The burgers looked great, the patties tasted great, everything was in great proportions on the Double, the single may have been a bit thin to carry sandwich. The sesame seeded bun was toasted to perfection a nice crunch to it. The chili had no beans as it should be and had a nice sweetness to the flavor. We were both satisfied immensely and we were also defeated by our French fries in the end.

Definitely an occasional craving kind of meal. The fries were standard, nothing particularly special. There was about a 10 minute wait to order because the staff had paused ordering to handle a larger order. Once we ordered, the food came out in another 10 minutes, so the wait wasn't bad at all. Indoor seating is limited, but there's also outdoor seating shared with other restaurants in the area. Worth a stop when you're in the mood for a good, indulgent burger!

We came to Farhod's on a Friday night when we visited this street which is full of halal food…read morecarts. I'd say around 80% of them are offering some sort of kabob, looking mostly to be from central Asian carts. We ended up picking Farhod's because it was the most crowded and we figured that might make our food the freshest. We were able to order on a tablet, which made things easier. All being on a sidewalk definitely makes things super crowded. It's a bit hard to find seating and it's kind of chaotic - power even shut down completely right after we ordered. They were able to get the power back on with the generator, but it took what felt like forever to get our food. Seems like they serve their food somewhat like a halal cart rather than a typical Persian restaurant - salad, white sauce, red sauce, etc. We got the steak kabob plate, koobideh sandwich, and beef wrap. We enjoyed pretty much every form factor. They grill their tortillas and bread on the grill before assembling, so everything has that charcoal taste top to bottom. Salad was surprisingly cold/crunchy for a stand that had been sitting in warm weather for hours. Steak on the plate was slightly chewy but tasted fresh and had great flavor. I recommend loading up on the white sauce, red sauce has good flavor too and isn't super spicy. Also liked the self service radishes, grilled jalapeños, and lemons. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, aside from the long wait and some slightly questionable food handling practices. Prices are not as low as you'd expect for a street cart, but the food was good and portions were large.

Online ordering was not working when I tried, so had to go there to place the order and wait.

The flavors were out of this world and are something I will never forget. Tasting the hot dog lady's late night bacon wrapped hot dogs in Echo Park brought me back to that moment decades ago.

It didn't have much flavor. The four loose pork meatballs looked good but weren't that tasty. It was also topped with wide strips of raw ginger, scallions, white pepper, a bit of soy sauce (?), and a soft-boiled egg. I've never had any congee with that much raw ginger before and I like ginger. It was overwhelming. The flavors just weren't there. But at least it was filling and reasonably priced.
