This is a lovely gem! Strong and flavorful margaritas. Guacamole was a solid serving size for 2, possibly 3. Been here a couple times and have tried almost all of their drinks. The hibiscus margarita is my favorite. Attentive service and relatively intimate ambiance. The music isn't blasting so you can actually have a conversation (cough cough, damn i miss paris next door..) read more

A Few Hits, But Overall Not Quite Our Experience We recently stopped by Chulita for dinner with family. There were definitely a few things we enjoyed, but unfortunately, the overall experience didn't quite leave us wanting to come back. When we walked in, the host asked if we had a reservation. We said no, and after a brief pause, she asked us to step out of the way because a guest in a wheelchair was trying to exit. Of course, we were happy to move and give them space. Once they were able to get through, we walked back in and were simply pointed toward a table near the entrance. We completely understand that restaurants have to work around different circumstances and accommodate guests, but this was our first impression. A simple "Hi, welcome in!" or a little more direction when seating us would have gone a long way toward making us feel welcomed. Our server for the beginning of the meal was actually covering for our assigned server, who was on break. He explained that he was just filling in until our original server returned, which was completely understandable. What stood out, though, was that he seemed more focused on explaining that he was only covering than on making us feel like he was happy to have us as his table. I honestly don't remember if he introduced himself because the emphasis was more on letting us know that our regular server was on break. Nothing was wrong with him covering our table, we completely understood but a little more warmth and enthusiasm would have made the interaction feel more welcoming. I asked if I could get a Shirley Temple, but they didn't have the ingredients, so I went with a Mexican Coke instead. Then came the food. We ordered the esquites, and this was probably the dish where our expectations and what arrived at the table differed the most. Having grown up eating esquites in the traditional elotero style, we were expecting those familiar flavors and toppings. What we received was much more like corn with lime. I understand that restaurants put their own spin on traditional dishes, but it just wasn't what we were expecting when we ordered esquites. I ordered the chicken tinga taco. The portion was definitely generous, but the chicken was a little dry. There was also so much chicken that it could have easily made two tacos rather than one very full taco with two tortillas. The chips and guacamole were probably the easiest win of the night. One small traditional touch we missed was a lime wedge on the side. In our family, and in the restaurants we grew up around, serving lime alongside guacamole is a pretty standard and familiar touch. We also would have appreciated having salt at the table for those of us who like to add a little extra to our food. Another small observation from a restaurant perspective: the white cloth napkins were perfectly clean when we received them. However, as we ate, they naturally picked up food, sauces, and whatever else ends up on a napkin during dinner, which made them visibly look quite dirty as the meal went on. This is one reason many restaurants opt for darker napkins, they tend to hold up a little better visually throughout the meal. Our original server eventually returned from his break. At one point, he came over to refill my sister's water and stood very close behind my chair while pouring. I had to adjust myself so that we wouldn't bump into each other. Definitely a small thing, but those little moments of awareness can make table service feel more comfortable. There were some bright spots. The ceviche was good, and the portions overall were generous. My 16yr old niece described her barbacoa tacos as simply "alright," so they weren't a standout for her, but everyone's palate is different. The churros were a bit odd of traditional Mexican churro, not quite sure how to explain this one though. We also noticed that the table behind us seemed to have an issue with their order, and toward the end of our meal, it took quite a while to get our check. I'm sharing all of this from a place of genuine feedback, especially because I come from a family that owns restaurants. I know how much goes into running a restaurant and how many moving parts there are behind the scenes. I also know that sometimes it's the smallest details, the greeting when someone walks through the door, the warmth of the server, a little lime with the guacamole, that can completely change how a guest remembers their experience. For us, Chulita just didn't quite hit the mark this time. There were things we enjoyed, but when you add up the food, service, and little details, it wasn't an experience that made us want to return. Hopefully, some of this feedback is helpful because a few small changes could make a big difference in how welcomed and taken care of guests feel. I think this version reads much more like a Yelp story than a checklist of complaints. It also lets readers understand why each detail bothered you without making you sound overly negative. read more

I was really looking forward to trying Chulita, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. At first It took to long time my order come out. As a chef always looking to taste something different. In my career always ensure the taste of ea dish has to be on point is not just making tacos 2 tortillas per taco is killing the little flavor the tacos has the blue tortillas it kind hard as well. read more

Absolutely amazing restaurant. The inside is beautiful with all the plants and exposed wood - you feel like you're transported to a different place the second you walk in. The food and drinks were to die for - highly recommend the ceviche and hibiscus margarita. But the best of all was the impeccable service. Our server, Kylie, was so attentive and sweet. She even overheard me mentioning my aunt's birthday and brought over a little special birthday treat for us. And when Kylie left, Vaughn (sorry if I'm spelling that wrong), took over and she was also so amazing and brought out another little birthday surprise. Truly amazing experience all around. HIGHLY recommend coming here!! Shoutout Kylie and Vaughn for making our whole evening!! read more

Highly recommend! The ambiance is relaxed, comfortable, and chic. The service is attentive without being overbearing. The food is generous and flavorful. What more could I want? We loved our cocktails. We loved the tacos! The hanger steak was a clear winner and the esquites were a nice side. The real kicker though was the delicious GLUTEN FREE pumpkin spice churros. Do you know how long it's been since I had a g*dd*mn dessert that good? Too long. So thank you Chulita for scratching that itch in all the right places. read more

Ordered takeout here and after stepping into the restaurant, I NEED to eat at the restaurant. It is such a cute vibey spot, and so good for a date. I ordered some tacos, and my favorites were the chicken and the beef cheek. The fish was good too, but lacking in flavor and the protein portion is definitely smaller. The steak taco unfortunately was too gamey for me. The esquitas is also so good, it's super smoky and citrusy. They give you two tortillas per taco, and they give you enough protein to make two separate tacos. I will definitely be back, and I can't wait to dine in! read more

I had been wanting to try Chulita for a while, so when my mom and I were looking for a late Saturday night bite, it finally felt like the right time. The place isn't very big. It's more of an intimate, cozy setting. We sat in the bar area and the vibe was relaxed and lively. The Coliflor Fundido was the star of the night. Honestly some of the best fundido I've had. It was rich and creamy without being greasy, and we both kept going back for another bite. The Esquites was okay. Not bad, just not something I'd rush back for like the fundido. We also had the Pescado Tacos, which had really nice flavor. Overall, really solid spot and I'm glad I finally checked it out. read more

Chulita is a vibe! Stop by on Father's Day and was thankful that there were reservations (as someone eating without a father). From the start, the host and servers were super kind and friendly. The space was warm, inviting, and just felt like a good place to be in. The servers were helpful in providing me with options for what I wanted to order. I modified my breakfast burrito to add Barbacoa and it was a hit. I also tried the Tres leches waffles, which we're good. But for me, waffles with cassava flour don't really get as crisp as I would like, but the tres Leche whip whipped cream, and those fresh berries is really well set that off. read more

After seeing Chulita on my IG ads, I made sure to add it to my list of places to try. It was a breeze to make a last minute reservation on Resy for three people on a Friday night. The inside space definitely reminded me of Tulum. If you're looking for something less traditional with very unique flavors, this place is a must! The food is good overall. I was a little bit disappointed with the esquites as they looked very appetizing but the taste was really confusing in a way. I wish there was a better way for me to describe the esquites lol. Overall, the rest of the food came out very delicious. Our food did take some time to come out but I would say it's worth the wait. read more

La chulita is a restaurant that needs more attention because it definitely is a gem! It's located in mid town Los Angeles. The parking is kind of difficult to be honest you're going to have to park in the residential area to park if you can't find parking on the street. The ambiance is a Mexican retro style restaurant that serves and specializes in mezcal. They have other drinks which is cool but I took my mother here and we both enjoyed it . The service is on point friendly and helpful which is always appreciated The price point is mid to high but definitely worth jr and if your around the areas check them out ! read more

We had a great dining experience at Chulita. Located in the West Adams neighborhood, situated on a corner lot. The higher-end restaurant appeal was there. The ambiance very much resembled the culture of the food. Customer service was also amazing. Our server was so on top of it, and made sure everything was to our liking. Food wise, I can highly recommend the Carne Asada (Steak) Taco. The shredded beef taco was a bit on the oily side, and very similar to birria. I'm personally not a fan, but I know that is a popular dish. read more

Saw this on Tik Tok and was impressed by the video. LOCATION - 4 STARS The area the restaurant is in has only street parking, which did take us a bit to find something but eventually we found something about a block away. AMBIANCE - 4 STARS The decor is really cute. It reminds me of a fancy restaurant in Tulum. The music was great. SERVICE - 3.5 STARS Took a while to be seated even with a reservation. Took another bit for our waiter to come offer us something to drink. And our waiter wasn't super friendly which kind of just made me feel a bit uncomfortable like I wasn't welcomed. FOOD - 4.5 STARS Coliflor fundido - 5 STARS - this was the table's favorite I think. It was so creamy and full of flavor. It wasn't vegan but the pureed cauliflower added to the texture. Vegan Queso - 4 STARS - it was too watered down for my liking Ceviche - 5 STARS - Hamachi is always great and the sauce resembled an aguachile sauce. The fish was chunky and great quality it was really fresh too. Chile Relleno - 4 STARS - usually I love Chile relleno but this one had too much sauce and the Chile was really hard to find. I added barbacoa and that was really good and they added a lot! Quesadillas with/ barbacoa - 5 STARS - this was probably my fave. My husband got this and I regretted not getting a quesadilla but luckily he gave me few bites to try. Chocolate Pudding - 5 STARS - Amazing...no notes. I loved the raspberry topping. The chocolate was so rich, creamy and delicious. Pumpkin Churros - 4 STARS - these were vegan (I think) but they were for sure gluten free which my mom loved. I personally don't love the pumpkin flavored items but these were pretty good. Overall, great flavors. Good vegan options. Prices are a bit high for what it actually is. I enjoyed the food here but not sure I would make the drive out here again. read more

This spot immediately wins you over with its charm. It is small, but the intimacy works in its favor. The aesthetics is effortlessly curated with warm lighting, and just the right amount of trendy clean details. Definitely a restaurant that needs more attention. The menu is very limited, but food did not disappoint. Now, if you are coming strictly for authenticity, this might not fully hit the mark for you. Their menu takes creative liberties, blending flavors and presentations in a way that feels more modern fusion rather than traditional. We ordered the barbacoa quesadillas and Arrachera. I was a bit skeptical about the Arrachera as the steak is served over carrot mole. However, I am very open to trying new items. Both were very flavorful and won me over with the unique flavor. Great food, drinks, and beautiful ambiance. read more

Chulita - Seasonal apricot margarita - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

After a stroll through our neighborhood farmers market, we headed down West Adams in search of a new breakfast spot -- and we're so glad we did! The beautiful decor at Chulita immediately caught our eye, so we decided to check it out. As soon as I tried my hibiscus agua fresca, I knew we'd be coming here often. It was so fresh, and the calm, thoughtful aesthetic of the space made the whole experience even better. The chilaquiles were absolutely delicious, the steak and eggs were full of flavor, and we ordered the potatoes, which came with homemade ketchup -- it was fantastic! Raheem, our server, was incredibly friendly and gave us great recommendations. The overall vibe transported us to a luxury resort with service, just minutes from home. Absolutely recommend checking them out! read more

I always like it when a place does something different. Went to this place to try one of their breakfast burritos, and not only was it good, it was different from others I've had, and in interesting ways. It's called the Burrito De Desayno, and is described on the menu as being "Hash Brown, Scrambled Eggs, Ayocote Beans, Queso Oaxaca, Vegan Charred Onion Aioli [and your] Choice of Vegan Chorizo or Chicken Apple Sausage." It's the Queso Oaxaca and that really make this one. I've never had a burrito -- breakfast or otherwise -- that was so gooey with cheese. It might also explain why it was so filling. Glad I didn't order a side. Along with the burrito, I also had an iced latte, and while it was good, it was also a little on the small side. Though only a little. As for the place itself, it was clean and very light and sunny, lots of windows. The place was empty when I went (11AM on a Wednesday), so there was only one person working the front, but he was friendly and attentive. The food also came out in a timely manner. As for parking, I found a spot right on the side street, though there were also spots on the street itself. But one note: there's a school next door, and when I went, it was recess, so the air was filled with the sound of kids playing. Or screaming bloody murder. It was hard to tell. Personally, I couldn't care less -- especially since the restaurant was playing some sweet soul music, and at a reasonable volume -- but if the sounds of kids playing gets on your nerves, plan accordingly. read more

LA is known for its Mexican cuisine, and this spot definitely has some good things going. I love the vibe here--you can't help but feel as if you've been transported to Mexico City. The drinks are excellent, and they offer a huge variety of tequila. We started with the sweet potato taquitos, which came on delicious blue corn tortillas. The sweetness of the potato really stood out, though I would've loved just a bit more flavor overall. Of course, I had to try the tacos. The steak was perfectly cooked, the fish was fresh, and the portions of meat were generous, but they could've used a little more seasoning to really shine. Overall, great staff, cool vibes, and fantastic drinks--definitely worth a visit for happy hour! read more

A friend recently took me here for a belated birthday dinner. The interior is beautifully designed and feels very intimate and cozy. The menu is on the smaller side, but I appreciated that they offered a good mix of vegan and meat options. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious: * Vegan Nachos - 5/5 - We ordered these with the chicken tinga topping. The vegan cheese was SO delicious and flavorful! The chicken tinga was perfectly seasoned. Highly recommended! * Arrachera - 5/5 - I typically don't like carrots, so I never thought I'd be a fan of carrot mole, but here we are! The hanger steak was cooked to perfection. It was tender and juicy and rested on top of a velvety carrot mole that completely won me over. It also came with a side of blue corn tortillas. * Pescado Taco - 5/5 - The fish had the perfect balance of umami and flavor, and so tender. I also loved that their tacos come on double-layered blue corn tortillas, so you could split one into two smaller tacos if you wanted. * Chicken Tinga Tacos - 5/5 - Their chicken tinga is phenomenal and packed with flavor. * Esquites - 4/5 - Flavorful and enjoyable, though a touch on the salty side for me. Still, it paired well with the other dishes. * Arroz Verde - 3/5 - I appreciate the healthier choice of cauliflower rice, but I was really craving regular rice and was disappointed they didn't have that option. The flavor was good, but a bit saltier and spicier than I expected. * Vegan Chocolate Pudding - 5/5 - Delicious and refreshing! The blackberry sauce and crumble toppings added so much depth and texture. * Pumpkin Pie Spiced Churros - 4/5 - Loved the texture of the churros, and the caramel sauce stood out with its unique coffee infusion. read more

Chulita on West Adams is that lowkey baddie you almost don't want to tell people about. Tucked between Mid-City and Culver City, just off the 10, it's sitting pretty on an unassuming little corner like, "Oh this? I've been here." A quiet gem... until you try to park. Let's talk about it: parking is a sport. If there's an event nearby, you better activate eagle vision and channel your inner NASCAR driver because you will be circling the block. There's no valet swooping in to save you -- it's you, your steering wheel, and pure determination. But trust me, once you snag a spot and make it inside, you forget the struggle real quick. The space? Instant Tulum energy. Earthy creams, warm beiges, rich browns -- it feels like a chic little hideaway where something good is about to happen. Soft lighting, cozy corners, effortless cool. You walk in and already feel cuter. We ordered the skirt steak tacos and whew -- generous is an understatement. The tortilla was practically baptized in juicy, high-quality meat. Every bite? Just as flavorful as the last. No weak links. No dry moments. Just straight-up delicious. And listen... after seeing approximately 4,372 Instagram posts about them, I had to get the quesadillas. Three cheesy, protein-packed beauties, smothered in sauce and sour cream like they knew they were the main character. Messy in the best way. Now let's address the fish taco discourse. I loved it. As a fish enthusiast (second only to steak in my protein hierarchy), I thought it was solid. I've seen reviews saying it's "not that great," and respectfully... I'm not sure what their taste buds are up to. Try it yourself and form your own opinion -- mine says yes. We skipped drinks that night, so I can't personally testify. But judging by the glowing faces and giggles at the bar? The mezcal is doing its thing. Next time, I'm absolutely ordering one (or two) of those smoky little masterpieces. The vibe overall? Chill. Soft. Intimate. The kind of place where you lean in to talk, take cute pics, and lose track of time. Parking battle aside, I'd go back in a heartbeat -- especially for a round of mezcal-infused magic. read more

As soon as we walked in, we felt a warm welcome by the hostess and staff. For Friday night we came around 6:45 PM. It was a little crowded, but there was tables available. We didn't have a reservation. The staff was super accommodating and offering recommendations. We ordered two cocktails a Mezcal Negroni and I forgot the name, but it was one of their spicy margaritas both are very good. The food was delicious. We got the ceviche, cauliflower fundido, a fish taco and the vegan cauliflower taco. Everything was full of flavor and delicious. It came out fast, but not too fast. Everything was timed well. I forgot our server name, but he was very nice and accommodating. Not including tip our two appetizers, two tacos, two cocktails cost $99.88. It's a very relaxed vibe. Will definitely be back. read more

Had brunch here yesterday on Father's Day before we hit the road to spend the day with family. First off, no kids menu is a no bueno. The early morning crowd is going to have kids. Like us and two other tables around us yesterday. Next, the actual food... I see the idea but the flavor wasn't all there. Maybe you come here for the vibe or Mexican-ish dishes but nothing too authentic. I can't say we'd be back. The food was basic, the service was slow & not friendly at all. And it wasn't busy at all. So for food, I had the chilaquiles & I expressed what I wanted/didn't want on them & my husband said "same, make two of those." Still, his came out different. Not a problem he's a simple man, he ate them anyway. My tamarind agua fresca tasted nothing like tamarind. It possibly had tamarind hints, or maybe tamarind essence. Idk, it wasn't it. My daughter tried the waffle, it was okay. Maybe too healthy for her. I thought it was okay. My husband got a barbacoa taco which was tasty, and probably the best thing we had. read more

Took my boyfriend for his birthday here & loved it!! He doesn't do spicy & they were happy to accommodate his palate. The ceviche had jalapeño in it & it was NOT spicy. Which was perfect for him (i asked for extra jalapeños on the side) they also make their own Tostadas! Their tortillas are the start of the show. They were all so different & so delicious!

We stopped here for brunch randomly without a reservation. It wasn't busy, so we were immediately seated. We got the guac to start with a seasonal apricot margarita. The margarita was ok, it tasted like they used mezcal instead of tequila, thy didn't inform me of that when I initially asked about the seasonal margarita, otherwise I would've ordered it with tequila instead. We got chilaquiles and the breakfast burrito as our entrees and shared a fish taco. We both loved our food. The decor gives Tulum vibes and our service was good. We will definitely be back. read more

The chicken TIKKA tacos were delicious- $8 each or per taco . The chips and GUAC delicious... The entrance is dynamic. The decor colors are stone colors. Very organic and calming. We were seated right away- 9 ladies. They are a vegan influenced, gluten free kind of restaurant. Not a traditional Mexican food restaurant. Geared towards healthy organic foods..soooo their menu however limited it's good. Some items are a little pricey. EVERYTHING IS A LA CART. The tortilla soup does not have meat. The taquitos are made with like a sweet potato -again no meat. And they do not sell anything with shell fish-SHRIMP due to some patrons having seafood allergies. how considerate. The non alcoholic beverages Fresca was delish. I enjoyed this experience. And grateful my besties treated me... due to the limited menu- Not at the top of my list but up there.... read more

Originally stopped in at Chulita for a couple of birthday drinks for my mom. Walking in feels like stepping into an oasis -- the stunning interior design instantly transports you away from the loud traffic outside. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a few rounds of their skinny margaritas, La Flaca. I also love that they recycle La Gritona tequila bottles and use them as water bottles -- such a cute and thoughtful touch. We ordered the coliflor fundido, which was absolutely amazing. My mom was so intrigued by the rest of the menu that we ended up canceling our dinner reservation elsewhere and decided to stay and dine at Chulita instead. The host was super accommodating, even with a full house on a Tuesday. The food and service were both wonderful. We'll definitely be back! read more

Chulita is one of my favorite restaurants on Adams. Great for breakfast, brunch, or dinner. Highly recommend the beach burrito. The Arrachera steak was pretty good as well.

Service 5/5 Ambiance 4.5/5 Food 3-/5 Our servers were great. Food was meh. We each had 2tacos, shared the guac and taquitos. Had high hopes for the cassava tortillas which turned out to be too soft to hold taco meat & toppings. Everything was way too salty. Guac wasn't seasoned to our liking...massive amounts of salt and no lime juice. We loved the drinks though....cucumber lemonade and ginger something. Do not order the sweet potato taquitos: think baby food. With guests in town we wanted them to try LA tacos but were too lazy to drive to Ditroit Taqueria....note to self, make the drive. Ditroit is 50x better than Chulita...down to the blue corn tortillas. I'm beginning to think "a Michelin Guide" restaurant without stars means someone paid $ and you're paying for that marketing cost...in other words, 9/10 times food'll be a disappointment. read more

Mexican restaurant with plenty of vegan (and gluten-free) options. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and able to answer all our questions about allergens and spice level. I tried the vegan breakfast burrito and was slightly underwhelmed. I was looking forward to the vegan chorizo (made with tofu) but it was way softer/grainier than I expected. The burrito itself also could have used more body in its spices. The green salsa they paired the burrito though with was excellent. My partner got the Chulita bowl (also with vegan chorizo). We both thought next time we would try one of the other protein options. Vibes trend upscale with a beautifully designed inside that has a playful mix of curves, textures, and plants. read more

Chulita has really tasty food and the flavors were fresh and enjoyable. Every dish we ordered was well prepared, and you can tell care goes into the quality and presentation. The overall atmosphere was lively and welcoming. However, the service experience took away from what could have been a perfect visit. Our finished plates remained on the table for a while and were only cleared after we asked. Additionally, we were offered the check before we had the opportunity to order coffee, which made the experience feel a bit rushed. The menus were also taken away and not left on the table, which made it harder to continue ordering at our own pace. The food itself was great, but improving attentiveness and allowing guests to enjoy their meal without feeling rushed would make a big difference. I would return for the food and hope the service experience improves. read more
