Kinda soggy and not chewy like crust should be. And the boneless chicken wings were super deep fried. Wasn't expecting that. We should have been told it was going to be like that. No one really liked it. For what we paid and the fact that this was supposed to be wood fired etc, I thought it was going to be better. I feel like we paid good money, but we did not get good food. I feel ripped off. We only ate around half of it cuz everyone was hungry, but no one liked it enough to even want to take it home. We threw away almost all the chicken and half the pizza

First bit was great! It had a nice crunch! I was hooked after the first bite. I added some hot honey and it was next level. If you're in the area or in the mood for good pizza pull up!

My favorite appetizer are the Molletes which are toasted bolillos with chorizo and bean spread topped with cheese and pico de gallo. My favorite plates are the Carne en su Jugo, which is pork in green chilli sauce, and the Albondigas beef meatball soup. The soup is plentiful and doesn't disappoint in flavor. The meatballs are tender and have a perfect flavor profile of herbs and spice. Honestly, nothing disappoints here. The Pollo in Mole is also delicious. The tortillas are fresh and hand made. The Pollo con Rajas is creamy, cheesy, flavorful and the chicken has always been juicy underneath all that sauce, cooked perfectly. I've also had the teak tacos and they're filling, tasty, and a perfectly compliment to anything you will order. The sides are usually rice and beans and they've always been perfect. The rice is soft and the beans are addicting. Javier is always warm and friendly, he does an amazing job with his restaurant. He tends to his patrons wonderfully and deserves all praise, as well as his staff. They compliment the small dining area and make you feel like you're eating at home or with family. I'll gladly continue to eat at Rajas con Crema every time I'm in town. Parking is street parking so it can be iffy. Thank you so much for the fantastic experience!

What started…read moreout as a convenient location, turned into a regular spot because the service is consistently good, prices are very reasonable, and the food is great. I've tried numerous dishes here and haven't been disappointed. Their pastas, salads, and lasagna are really good. I could eat the garlic bread all day! They have a robot server that brings the food to your table; then the server hands it too you. Not sure if it creates efficiency, but is novel at the very least. I've been here once for dinner and it wasn't too busy, but most of the time I'm here for lunch. There seems to be a little lunch crowd, but it's never overcrowded and service is never impacted.

Disappointing. Initial impression: more attention needs to…read morebe paid by the staff. The menus were less than pristine, and one had prices crossed off and new prices inserted in pencil. One of the fork/knife/napkin wraps was dirty. The staff itself is slow and taciturn - neutral instead of friendly or welcoming. It's a cavernous space which is quite noisy when very many tables are occupied. Dishes are brought out by a cute robot (which also plays "Happy Birthday") with the staff actually serving the items. Again, the robot was less than pristine. The food was pedestrian. Most of the items did not have a "home made" look or taste. The house sauce was on many things and was unremarkable. Some items were close to inedible: as an example, in an order of chicken parmesan, the chicken was very thin, tough, and stringy, and the coating was overcooked. Interestingly, it was served with mashed potatoes, broccoli, and carrots instead of pasta. In a final negative note, a 3% "Restaurant Management Fee" was added to the bill. None of our party can recall any mention of that before the bill was presented. Not a place we will return to.

Had a great previous experience and went back! We definitely had the tiramisu in mind w our decision to go back since it was sooo good! Unfortunately that was the only miss this time! Still tasty but we got the smallest end piece and it didn't even have lady fingers in half the slice and the slice was also half the portion we got last time :( Tomato soup - wooh salty! The flavor would've been great if they didn't add so much salt. It was just so salty that we couldn't finish it and you needed bread for dipping. Spaghetti and meatballs - We were really looking forward to trying this dish as it's my husband's favorite. We were surprised to find that it only comes with two meatballs, we would've thought it would be double that for the price and portion. Meat sauce was good, although I do prefer more sauce than they gave and a slightly thicker sauce as well, and meatballs were mushy. It's the soft kind of meatball where the meat is more ground and therefore mushy, and I dont like that type as much personally, I like having chunks of meat in my meatball. Eggplant Parmesan - was definitely looking forward to trying this as well! It was pretty good. My personal preference is more cheese and a slightly thicker sauce but it had a great flavor of all. Tiramisu - our biggest disappointment. We got the end corner piece and seemed to be the last slice perhaps. The slice was half the size as the portion we received as last time we came here. barely any ladyfingers since it was the edge and it was therefore mostly cream. It just wasn't the same, definitely a miss. Last time we had a nice tall slice with plenty of ladyfingers and espresso, this time it just felt so lackluster with mostly cream and not a lot of anything else and also the height was a lot lower due to it being a corner slice I assume. Honestly as soon as we saw it we were disappointed and I don't feel like they should've served that slice to a paying.

The restaurant was well lit and sounded like everyone was having a great time, laughing and catching up with one another! As well as the staff helping each other out and making sure everyone was satisfied! Angelica, our waitress, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, as well as the rest of the staff! She helped us pick our entrees and appetizers as well. Angelica made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal from making sure our drinks were refilled or bringing another round of drinks, to bringing clean plates for every entree we received! The bone marrow and branzino was definitely a 100/10, my brother who hates fish actually tried it and loved it! The bone marrow left everyone at the table speechless!

Parking is valet. It gets pretty crowded, so be sure to make a reservation ahead of time or show up as early as possible if you are wanting to dine here. Started off with the Peruvian Scallop Crudo and dare I say, this is hands down the best scallop I have ever had. Looked simple, but it was bursting with flavors. Duck Liver Pâté. This was my first time trying any sort of animal liver in my life. Although I was hesitant to try I am so glad I did because it was really good! The touch of truffle was a nice touch. Grilled Branzino was delicious and one of my favorites on the menu. If you are a fan of fish and don't want too much red meat this is perfect! Squid Ink Spaghetti was okay. There was good flavor with each bite and meshed well with the lobster. Oxtail ravioli was okay. Not the best, but not awful. Many reviews have recommended this, but likely would not order again. Overall, the food, drinks, and service were exceptional. The only downside would be how hot it can get while dining there seen it's hot out and the hard metal stools that start to feel uncomfortable after sitting for a while. Strongly recommended if you are wanting dishes that have a nice twist with bold flavors! A definite must try when in LA.

We arrived when they opened at 5p and sat in one of their communal tables. It was a hot day and the AC wasn't up to the challenge. With the oven, the crowd and weather, it was rather warm inside. However, I guess it replicated an authentic dining experience in Italy. The restaurant became packed shortly afterwards and the conversations and laughter echoed vibrantly. It felt like we were in Italy. Our server, Alfred, was a pro and a delight. He took care of us without breaking a sweat and always with a smile. We tried many pizzas, salads and pastas. Everything was delish. What really caught my eye was the ribeye steak, which we didn't try. It's a monster ribeye at a very reasonable price. It looked amazing. I have no doubt I will be scarfing down one of those in the near future. I highly recommend a visit if you haven't been. Go hungry and know the portions are generous.
