Chicharro Land!! The BOMB BOMB ‼ First visit was today, for lunch, and my chicharrone lovin' heart went pitter patter The tortillas are soft, warm, fresh and flavorful. Many places make their own tortillas but don't necessarily have great flavor. These had that fresh nixtamal, corn flavor. The mound of chicharrón nestled inside the tortillas was soft, succulent and savory. Oooo I'm getting flashbacks. I also had a taco surtido, which is a blend of carnita, chicharrón, buche and costilla; that was killer. I had the menudo too! Pieces of carne were soft and thick. The pata was tender and had lots of tissue. The caldo was rich and tasty. Great, great, great place. Family owned and they're so nice! They take REAL pride in their quality and making consistency priority #1. read more

I saw this place on the Internet, and I went because it was really close by and had high hopes, look forward to the food, I understand that the economy is not great at the moment, but $17 for a small plate of cooked chips, onion, sour cream, and cheese Seems kind of a rip off, there's another place nearby that charges the same amount, but three times bigger the portion, I will admit it does taste good but for the price not really, a little expensive for a small plate, service was great. read more

Let me start off by giving Roberto a shout out. He was so patient and informative. We explained that we wanted some carnitas for 12 people and he was so nice that he showed us what a pound looked like so we could decide how much more meat we wanted to add. We got the family meal deal and another 1 1/2 of carnitas and 1 pound of chicharrón. We waited just a few minutes for the order. So delicious with so much flavor and the salsas we're on point. Not to mention the hand made tortillas. Yum!!!!!! A huge plus is that they have rear parking because that street parking is no joke. You can call ahead to order or you can just enjoy your food there. Come check them out. read more

TL;DR: Great place for some good food and of course Chicarron! Only bad thing I would have to say is the parking. ~~Parking: No lot, only street parking. ~~Liked: That they served chicharron and salsa instead of chips and salsa! ~~Best Part: The Chicharron! I got a chicharron platter, and even bought a bag of chicharron to go and stayed fresh until I was able to finish the bag! (took about 5 days) ~~Worst part: Parking ~~Service: Spectacular! Server read off what we ordered before heading back to put it in (I hate when my order get's messed up/ something is forgotten). Food takes about 15 - 20 min to come out, but it's fresh! ~~Tip: Def try Rob's burrito (I got the spicy one and it was awesome). ~~Return: Yaas read more

I placed two orders, the carnitas plate which was good, I've had better to be honest. Not sure what the fuzz is all about the carnitas dish, it was good but not great. The second order was the chicharrón. I ordered a pound, I was so disappointed to see the bag of pork rinds lol! The chicharrón Im used to eating and have always had, has meat (fried pork belly), soooo disappointing to have a huge bag of pork rinds. however the tortillas were so good and so fresh.

This review is based mainly on one my favorite Mexican dishes, chilaquiles. It's definitely not a good sign when I look at my food and ask "What is this?" Sour cream and grease is what I mostly saw. I grab my fork and swivel through the greasy, soggy tortillas to try and figure out what happened here. Seemed to be more of a soup. After trying the chilaquiles, the sauce/grease tasted bland. Needed salt and a better formula for making the sauce, less grease too. Yes, the tortilla chips are fried but they could've been strained. I don't think the tomatoes and chiles have grease so why was the sauce so greasy? I understand this order was to go so Roberto might argue that due to this, that could be why the tortillas were soggy. Please look at the pic (under my pics) of a take out order from a different restaurant. I can tell those are chilaquiles and they weren't soggy/greasy. Another restaurant gave me the sauce on the side to pour over the crunchy tortilla chips once I was ready. I hate to leave negative reviews but this is by far the worst chilaquiles I've ever had. Added a star for the handmade tortillas and the effort on the ham and eggs dish. Rice and beans were ok. Sorry about the long review but I was very disappointed with this experience. read more

Excellent food and service. I love their Pozole Verde with all white meat chicken! I have only ordered takeout and when I get home, I substitute the shredded lettuce they serve with it for shredded cabbage. Yummy!! Their Pozole is not overly salty or spicy...but the level of spice does vary. We enjoy their picadilla, it is like guacamole but no tomatoes. It comes with cheese on top. Ask for mild/medium peppers in it, if you prefer not too spicy food. Personable over the phone, some times the phone is answered by someone who only speaks Spanish, but they quickly say 'hold please' and put on a person to easily communicate with you in English. You can see into the kitchen and it is very clean and orderly. Park in back, especially on the weekends! read more

From the Business

Specialties

Our bussiness is built on tradition. Delicious home style cooking along with traditional mexican antojitos like sopes, quezadillas, and huaraches. However, what really separates us from the rest is our chicharron (pork rinds) and our carnitas. We guarantee you will love what we have to offer. No shortcuts here, no replicating, we are the originators of all our products.

History

Established in 2009.

Chicharroland was started out of nothing else than demand. Our family made chicharron for family parties and get togethers and everyone would ask where they could buy the chicharron. Little did they know there wasn't a chicharron in the market as good as ours. So we looked for a place were we would be able to work our magic and we gave them a place to find us. We called it, Chicharroland. From there, our homestyle dishes began being plated as well. Traditional breakfast like chilaquiles and huevos rancheros to traditional lunches like chicharron en salsa. We are as traditional as you can get. After all, that's all we do, our family's tradition.

We kicked things off with the queso fundido, and wow, it was absolutely delicious! Rich, melty, and packed with flavor, it was the perfect way to start the evening. For my entrée, I ordered the cochinita pibil, which was incredibly tender and saucy in the best way. My husband ordered the short rib, and it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. On the side, we shared the papas bravas and esquite, both of which complemented our dishes perfectly. The drinks truly elevated the night. My husband and I both love mezcal, and Kateen delivered. I ordered the Valentine's Day "Zona Romántica," which featured mezcal and wine almost like a sangria, but completely unique and beautifully balanced. My husband had the "Gypsy Fever," also mezcal-based, and it was smoky, smooth, and refreshing. Between the food, cocktails, and ambiance, it made for such a romantic and memorable evening.

However, the reason I'm giving 2 stars is because of the valet parking experience. First, I was charged $25 even though the sign clearly stated that valet parking is $17 for the first 3 hours, and $25 after 3 hours. Our reservation was at 6:30 PM, we arrived on time, and we left before 9 PM, so the charge did not make sense. When I asked the valet attendant, he kept saying, "because you dined there," without giving any clear explanation. If it is actually a flat rate for restaurant guests, then that should be clearly stated upfront to customers. Second, when I got into my car, I noticed that someone had touched the navigation settings because the compass direction and display were different from what I normally use. I do not understand why there was any need to adjust or touch my navigation system at all. I really think the restaurant needs to improve and better manage its valet parking system. Honestly, it felt like I was being charged a random price just because I was told, "you dined there." If there is a flat valet rate for restaurant guests, that information should be clearly communicated upfront instead of leaving customers confused at the end.

The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried. Unfortunately my friends had gone to Funke the night before so they were comparing the squash blossoms and Funke won out, but they still liked Dama's! Small plates were enough for the 3 of us. The service was quick and attentive. Parking was easy for us. I will definitely be back!

Our server helped us choose a variety of dishes to share and everything was excellent. One person in our group has a nut allergy, and the staff was very accommodating in helping us find safe options. A note that many dishes, including their free chips at the start of the meal and the moles, contain nuts so it is best to mention any allergies right away. The restaurant has two sections. The front has a stage with live music and a lively, louder atmosphere. The back area is a bit quieter but just as nice. Food and service both top-notch. Will return.

The bar sits right in the middle and is truly the star of the show. Service, drinks, and food are consistently great and clearly made with love. The margaritas and micheladas are easily some of the best in LA, hands down. This time I went with the chicken and shrimp fajitas and they did not disappoint. And the guacamole? It tastes like your grandmother made it. Portions are huge, so definitely come hungry. From the parking attendant to the servers, bartenders, and bussers, everyone delivers amazing service, it genuinely feels like family every time. Perfect spot for any occasion, or even just to chill and enjoy some authentic Mexican food.

However, the mushroom taco was delicious it had so much flavor! As well as the gobernador taco (the one with shrimp). The fish taco was okay but thought it was cute that they wrap it in a little tusk. I would mention the drinks but I'm not sure what my friends got and I got a mocktail.

Firstly, I want to say the food was just as good as the first time we visited. Unfortunately, my…read moresecond experience here...bringing my mom for Mother's Day ...was extremely disappointing because of the service. We initially had one server who brought us water and took our appetizer order, but then disappeared for quite some time without checking back in. At that point, I even went looking for a manager or hostess and couldn't find anyone available. Eventually, we were given a new server, but she came across as extremely rude and inattentive. What upset me most was the overall lack of communication and attentiveness throughout the experience. It made what was supposed to be a special Mother's Day outing feel frustrating and disappointing. Sadly, this experience soured my impression enough that I don't see myself returning.

At the recommendation of another reviewer we had Potato taquitos. Amazing. Sweet corn and a variety of the worldly flavored taco proteins. Outdoor with heaters and indoor. In a lovely walkable neighborhood. You can walk up to the Greek or Uber 10 minutes up the hill. Super friendly staff. Variety of patrons: girls having a meetup, families, coworkers, friends of all ages. We felt so comfortable and it was money well spent. One complaint: do something about your bathrooms. Great experiences don't end with gross bathrooms.

The building is an original piece of the City's history, boasting a menu that features their famous burritos that vary in size from a regular to a huge party size beast that can feed several. I tried the Hollenbeck and the Okie burritos on two separate occasions via pick up, as aforementioned, the service was quick, convenient and the pick up window is seamless, parking is located next to the structure and I haven't had problems getting there. Hollenbeck was good but I definitely enjoyed the Okie burrito more, I ordered the "original" size once and didn't seem to learn my lesson the second time, these burritos can feed two in Original size. They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.
