Fortunately my fiancee and I were in town for the weekend and could catch Kape Lasita. They have a…read morenice compact menu with not too much going on. Since we were trying to eat at as many places without feeling food coma'ed out, we ordered 1 Corn Beef Silog. Calamansi Tonic Espresso and Black Mamba. The Corn Beef Silog was really solid, it was also deep fried in a Panko Crusted outer layer which is their take on a Croquette. We particularly like the crunch it adds to the dish. But yeah it was the corn beef has we were looking for mixed with the good 'ol garlic rice and sunny side up egg. The vinegar they used was a lot stronger than I thought and I think they could do without it. The tonic espresso grew on me, upon first sip, I could taste the tonic and I haven't had tonic before so I wasn't feeling it. Until I mixed it and it got a lot better. What was really cute too, is they have pop up vendors and it was a bread and dessert vendor that are right across the counter. What caught my eye was this apron that was a collaboration between Garden and Seeds x Lasita. It had so many pockets and it went from a short apron to a long one with just a zipper. I bought this for the sole purpose of wearing it as an accessory as Tan/Brown pairs well with black and white clothing. Staff was so nice and helpful when ordering and even inquiring about the apron since there was no price on it. Hopefully we'll be back and can catch them during their dinner service!

I grabbed Quinn's card right then and there, knowing I'd want him as one of my wedding caterers, and I'm so glad I followed through. Not only are Quinn and Carol incredibly kind and professional, but the food is phenomenal. The steak, the veggies, the mashed potatoes! Divine! They also provided an amazing chicken and veggie option for us. We had multiple guests tell us it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had. I can't recommend House of Mash enough, whether you catch them cooking around the city or hire them for your own event!

The kitchen is a home kitchen with a house keeper washing the dishes by hand. It is a help yourself type of situation. BYOB and pour it yourself. There is a total of 16 seats per night. 6 of us in our reservation. They dim the place for the ambience. Food wise - Total of 7 courses - last 2 was the dessert. There is no printed menu, so you'll just have to ask what it is that you're eating and why the main course -steak- was served first. We were asked to keep the utensils through out the course as they do not change your silverware for every course. Cringe. I had such a high expectation with the food prior to dinner. It felt flat - Everything. The only thing that we like was the corn bread. The steak was tough - some us got super rare and some got overly done tough. Some flavor combination just didn't pair well. Something with a fish dish but sour like hell. Another dish was blue and it just did not look a dish coming out of a fine dining restaurant. Funny the people that were there was talking about Somni, Providence, Melisse.... It just did not even come close. It's like going to a friend's house who's practicing to be a fine dining chef. Pics of the food is posted in this review. None of them was impressive. It just did not go well together. When it came to the 7th course - it was a shaved ice. The Asian assitant cook brought them over and said it's Mandarin ice. So we asked, can you give us a little bit more description... his response was so rude that he said "it's ice with mandarin orange flavor". Oh ok - now you say mandarin oranges. But his condescending attitude is not appreciated. The night is ending and the Chef has not once come to the table to say Hi or introduced himself. People started to leave and he decided to speak to some remaining guests. Then he gets stuck with that particular guest for a long time until everyone is leaving. We probably just had like a Hi and Hello thank you for the food. He seems nice though. Then we all left. We clearly didn't even care anymore at that point. Bad food and bad experience. No parking. Good luck finding a parking on the streets on fountain and Vermont with all the homeless around. It's a hype. It's mysterious because it's really not listed as a restaurant. Not for everyone.

The meat eaters there were just as happy, so there's truly something for everyone. Great flavors, a friendly owner, and we'll definitely be back the next time we're in Los Angeles!

As expected, they were very friendly and they take their craft seriously. I usually get brisket when I get Texas style barbecue, but wanted to try some other other stuff this time. I got the Serrano jack sausage and a half pound of chicharron. Both were very tasty and the textures were perfect. the chicharron was super crispy and was so good with the acidity from the lime and pickles. The sausage had a nice bite to it. The texture quality of sausages are underrated. I recently had another sausage from another barbecue place that was good, but the consistency was like meatloaf. It makes a huge difference. Always a good time in your in for a treat if you could find their pop-ups. They usually pop up at breweries. More so in the South Bay. It seems now. Follow their Instagram to figure out when.
