Dos Amanates is a nuevo Mexican restaurant that serves delicious and creative food. We had the whole branzino which was cooked in a type of oven that imparts a mmokey flavor and locks in the juices. It was served with a flavorful sauce that did not overwhelm the delicate taste of the fish. It came with tortillas, rice and beans and was enough for 2 meals for me. My partner had the chicken quesadillas which were also good. The tortillas are all hand made and you can taste the difference. The interior is inviting and comfortable, and the service was enthusiastic and friendly. Unfortunately they do not yet have their liquor license so the place was pretty quiet. But I expect that to change when they get it.
I can't believe this spot isn't more popular, they have really fresh and delicious options. The kanpachi ceviche is really bright. My favorite tacos were the ribeye, it was so tender. They also gave us a tiramisu on the house, because it was our first time there! The service is above and beyond and we can't wait to go back.
Nice & clean, modern decor, spacious, Alex, my man, amazing service, BEST ceviche; mind you it aint normal cevich, FRESH UNI CEVICHE, and hands down the BEST fish taco wifey and I had. 10/10 must visit. Good for meals, dates, groups, you wont be disappointing whoever you bring here.
Decent spot for some Mexican seafood. Modern and slick interior with chill Latin pop makes me feel like I'm sitting in an all-inclusive resort. Loved the tuna ceviche. Good portion for $28. Mango habanero hot sauce takes the ceviche up a notch with its tropical flavor. Grilled Kanpachi taco is my favorite of all the tacos. Fish is grilled with care, well preserving the moisture and natural sweetness. Had to get a second grilled kanpachi taco after devouring 4 different tacos already. Rib eye taco is quite amazing too. Love the satisfaction from a well grilled fatty steak. The rib eye itself is sliced to thin pieces but I still get the sensation of biting into chunks of meat. Love the idea that the seasoning is competed with pickled onions and salsa as opposed to just seasoning the meat Baja fish and shrimp are more forgetful. Would come again for the tacos absolutely.
MUST TRY this new Mexican seafood grill in West Hollywood!! The food is excellent particularly the uber fresh ceviches, and the branzino just wow! I was pleasantly surprised at the portion sizes for the cost! Portion sizes in most places have gone down while the cost has risen, but not here! Very high value for the money. We also had dessert and the tres leches cake is out of this world! Also the grilled chicken is just exceptional! I haven't been blown away by anyone's chicken in a long time. It's juicy and tender and the smokiness from the grill is so intoxicating. The service was excellent as well, Erica was a delight and so attentive! Highly recommend this place I've been back three times in two months!
We were craving tacos from a popular Michelin-starred spot nearby but didn't want to wait in yet another line after the pop-up events. Luckily, Dos Amantes offers a very similar menu without the wait. Very clean, modern, well-lit dining area. They have daily deals like $12 for 3 fish tacos (individually $6)! The tacos were fantastic--fresh, sturdy tortillas, and the fish tacos were crispy, meaty, and moist inside. The octopus taco was hearty too, though it needed a bit more effort to bite through. I liked the black spread with bits of octopus in it. We got four different sauces, including salsa macha (chili crisp!), each with a varying level of spice, but nothing too intense. However, the tortillas were a tad small to comfortably eat without the contents spilling out. Additionally, the complimentary tortilla chips with salsa were good, though warm chips would've been a nice touch. The tuna ceviche looked generous, but the tuna was much too finely diced, making it hard to distinguish from the tomatoes. It was tasty, but for $28, I expected more of the tuna to shine through. We ended with a slice of tres leches cake that was light, moist, not too sweet, and packed with milk flavor. The berries were fresh and large. Even though we were the only ones there, the service was attentive and friendly. Everything came out quickly, and they checked in on us several times. If you want specific tacos but don't have the time to wait in line, or if you're hosting a larger group and need a slightly fancier spot, Dos Amantes is a solid choice. The prices are a bit higher, but that's to be expected with a full-service restaurant.
Had an amazing time here. Great food and wonderful service. I really enjoyed the salsa and had to stop myself from eating more chips. I think they are made in house very good. The branzino did not look very appetizing but it was amazing. There werent many people dining here and it's a fairly new restaurant. I hope more people check it out
Fantastic experience tonight for their Grand Opening Party. Parking was easily found around the corner and the atmosphere was very welcoming. They had a big balloon display outside with a red carpet as well as a ribbon cutting ceremony and a dj. Inside the tables were first come first served. My husband and I were able to easily find one. Since they were hosting this party all the food and drinks were included. We easily figured out the layout of the restaurant and everything went smoothly from then on. There was a bar on one side where you could order alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks. The bar also had an area for self-serve chips, salsa and guacamole. On the other side of the bar was another self-serve raw seafood station. They had oysters, scallops, uni, etc. The kitchen was an open concept where you could walk up or stand nearby to watch the chefs cooking. The staff were all so friendly and the hospitality was fantastic. Now for all the tables - the best part was the waitresses and waiters would walk around with all the food and bring it straight to you. I can't even count the amount of food we ate but every single dish was so satisfying! We had several versions of tacos including short rib, ribeye, shrimp, fish and octopus. We also has tostadas, shrimp cocktails, etc. This went on for three entire hours to the point where we both left completely stuffed! During the event there was a raffle and several announcements introducing the staff as this a family-run restaurant. Overall it was a great event and I can't wait to be back!
9/3/2025 - This is a newly opened Mexican Grill, which specializes in seafood, two months ago. The staff are friendly and working hard to make every customer happy. Looking at the fresh seafood display lead me think this is an upscale seafood restaurant in Los Angeles, e.g., the live Uni is so good and fresh, which is very difficult to find in LA. If you like sweet, try this Tres Leches, a 5-star desert. The street paid parking in front of the restaurant is available, but no parking between 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. At present, no Happy Hour and WiFi are available in the restaurant.
Street meter parking. Amazing service by Cassandra! We had some fresh oysters, Baja fish, tacos, and the short rib tacos. They were all so amazing! For tacos were both flavored and had a great texture. It was not overcooked or rubbery at all. The Baja fish tacos were light and flaky. They were the best tacos we had ever eaten. And that's saying a lot since we eat at many different places for tacos. We will be coming back again!
My meal It arrived like a quiet promise: a butterflied whole fish laid flat on a white plate, skin bronzed and whisper‑crisp from a hot grill while the flesh beneath gleamed, flaking in neat, almost translucent ribbons--an immediate lesson in restraint. The first bite gives you that textbook contrast chefs chase: a thin, savory Maillard snap, then cool, silky flesh that still tastes of the sea rather than smoke, which tells me it was hit hard over heat to render the skin and pulled off at the precise moment before the proteins tightened. Grilled lemon halves, their edges caramelized, are doing real work here--squeezes of that charred citrus cut through the fish's natural oiliness--while the thin ribbons of pickled red onion and peppery microgreens supply the bright, acidic punctuation that keeps the palate moving. Slices of avocado act as a soft, creamy foil, lengthening the finish without smothering the fish, and the halved cherry‑tomato salad looks lightly dressed so you get clean sweetness and a crisp counterpoint rather than a soggy, overdressed side. From a technical standpoint I appreciate the fundamentals: even scoring or oiling of the skin to prevent sticking, careful timing so the flakes separate cleanly, and a sparing hand with seasoning so the brine of the fish isn't lost under salt or heavy sauces. Many places feel compelled to gild seafood with every trendy condiment; here, the restraint is refreshing and, frankly, rarer than it should be. Service matched the cooking: friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to steer us through the menu with solid recommendations, which matters when a kitchen is doing delicious things well. The restaurant itself is calm and clean, a peaceful setting with a bar that lets the food speak, and last time I was there they were in the process of securing a beer and wine license--good news, because this kind of balanced, grill‑forward cooking benefits from a thoughtful pour. In short, this meal stands out because it trusts the ingredient: confident grilling, smart acid, and honest accompaniments that clarify rather than compete, leaving you satisfied and already thinking about the next visit. As for the house-made salsa: stainless ramekins on a white plate, each with its own tiny spoon - bright yellow emulsion, lacquered dark reduction, smoky-red chile purée, and a chunky herb relish. The emulsion is silky and tangy, perfect for cutting fat; the dark sauce is sticky, umami-forward and built to cling; the red one carries smoke on oil and is medium-hot; the relish snaps with fresh acid and crunch. Important heads-up: one of these is a ghost-pepper style salsa - extremely spicy, slow-building and long-lingering, so use it as a finish, not a dunk. Execution is tidy: no broken emulsion, measured viscosities, portioned so flavors don't bleed - practical, disciplined work. In an era of one-trick "house sauce" laziness, this quartet gives you tools, not excuses, and it elevates whatever's on the grill without stealing the show. I'll definitely be back here!
Apparently new to the neighborhood, specializing in seafood. I walked by and they offered free samples of their lemonade and their blue fin tuna ceviche. Super friendly folks! Metered parking right out front.

During a quick visit to LA, my husband and I had lunch at Dos Amantes. It was our first visit. We were promptly greeted and seated by Selena. Her beautiful smile was refreshing after a long, busy day. She happily shared her suggestions for lunch. My husband ordered Pescado A La Lena, I ordered Pescado Al Carbon. Sides of black beans and rice, fresh, warm and delicious tortillas and 3 amazing sauces to accompany our meal and a refreshing Mexican Coke. A sweet cake treat finished off our meal. Our meals were not only delicious, they were beautifully presented. We will return to LA in a few months and will definitely visit again! Thank you Selena for your beautiful smile :) The restaurant was clean, airy, and relaxing. read more
What a fantastic Mexican seafood restaurant that opened up near work. Dos Amantes offers some delicious fresh seafood. I have been here a few times now for lunch and both time it was fantastic. They start of by giving you complimentary chip and salsa for the table. Which is a plus. As for the tacos I have tried their Baja Fish and Shrimp tacos ( so crispy and fresh) and Taco De Pulpo ( Octopus so tender). As for their Tostada, I have tried the Tuna and Kanpachi Tostada, both were fresh and delicious. The freshness of the ingredients could be clearly tasted and the flavor all well balanced. Service was great and friendly. Note: What I heard is that Dos Amantes feathers team members/staff use to work at Holbox. Overall, amazing place and welcome to the neighborhood. Until our next visit. Looking forward to try more stuff from the menu. read more
Yooo who knew tacos could be elevated like this! Def recommend dos amantes if you're craving a good hearty thicc taco. I was full with 2! SERVICE Service was amazing and friendly :). Seated immediately. PARKING Can you believe FREE parking in LA?! Behind the restaurant there's a small reserved parking area for this restaurant only. INSIDE Inside was clean with plenty of seating. Clean bathrooms as well! COMPLIMENTARY Server started us off with home made chips and salsa :). YUM FOOD We tried the octopus taco, short rib, Baja fish taco, and the ribeye taco. All the ingredients on every taco were cooked to perfection with fresh tomato's, guac, and onions. SALSA SIDE LOVE that they offered their complimentary home made salsas on the side we could try. The mango chili salsa was delicious. There's also a habanero and Tabasco salsa. Will be back to try their ceviche, thanks Dos Amantes!! read more

Came in randomly for lunch on a Tuesday, the whole restaurant looks awesome, the restaurant is new so they still had no alcohol but I was able to grab some food. The quality of the seafood I had, has to be some of the best in LA. I ordered the Kanpachi Tostada, Baja Fish taco and the taco de pulpo (not pictured because I destroyed it before remembering to take a pic....) But everything was so good, the sofrito in the octopus taco is so addictive, the salsas that come with it are so spicy but you just can't stop eating it. Everything was so good, and while I was having a conversation with the host/owner the chef sent out and extra taco for me to try, I really appreciate rhetorical hospitality shown by the owners and the chef! Will definitely come back to have a drink or two or 4 when you guys get that liquor license! read more

Talk about artisan Mexican Food the four brothers that own this place are from Oaxaca and they also own red fish, which is a sushi/Mexican place everything that they have there is made in house from their tortillas to their salsa to everything that's pickled their dessert their short ribs were amazing. They were slow roasted even stuff that is as simple as the cheese quesadillas were so good. The tortillas were made fresh there and they use fresh cheese. The guacamole is made there. The shrimp ceviche is out of this world and then they have three homemade hot sauces that they make delicious if you're gonna go for dessert try their Tres leches. It is probably the best I've ever tried. read more

We stopped in for lunch on a whim and ended up having some of the best Mexican food we've had. We tried a kanpachi ceviche, fish taco, tuna tostada, scallop aguachile and chicken quesadilla and everything was outstanding. We learned that the chef used to work at Holbox and honestly, while I do enjoy Holbox, I definitely preferred the food at Dos Amantes. I can't wait to return! read more

This place is amazing! It has recently opened in the neighborhood and the food is delicious. The ceviche was fresh, branzino was great, and they make their tres leches desert in house. I will definitely come back for more dinners! The inside looks very nice and you can see chefs working in the kitchen. Our server was great, he gave good suggestions on the menu and was very attentive the entire night. It's a great spot for dates and family/friends dinners. read more

Stumbled across this restaurant whilst visiting Magnolia Bakery. After a sweet treat, my husband and I figured we should grab something a little more savory and filling. We picked the perfect spot! My husband had the shrimp taco and the tostada mixta. The shrimp were perfectly battered and fried. So picturesque and tasty!!! The octopus in the tostada was tender. Cooked just right. I feel like most restaurants hit or miss with octopus. I had the pescado a la leña. Smoked branzino served with rice, black beans, avocado and a zesty, grape tomato/picked onion salad. I also grabbed a watermelon mint julep mocktail. 10/10. It's very rare for me to enjoy everything I've order at a restaurant. Something's always a miss. I wasn't disappointed and will be returning with my in-laws!!! As for the aesthetic of the restaurant, I can't complain. From the furnishing, down to the plates and cutlery...everything fits the menu so well. The host that helped us was personable and polite. She answered all our questions and was accommodating. I am looking forward to my next visit. read more

Discovered this place by accident. There isn't any seafood restaurant in west Los Angeles that serve this level of assortment of clean, fresh, simple and delicious lemony savory seafood. Service is incredible and prices are reasonable. My boyfriend and I have made this our weekly outing because of their Baja shrimp tacos. They are unreal! Location is great super accessible and close to magnolia. Good days spot. Our second favorites are the short rib quesadilla and tuna ceviche. read more
