Review #893 2025-065…read moreYEE #136 Comped Dulce Pan Order: Alemana Dulce Pan Order: Brazo Gitano, Guisano, Oreja, Quesadilla Yelp is celebrating Latinx Heritage Month with La Usuluteca, an authentic Central American deli, & lucky Elites like myself get to enjoy 1 complimentary pan dulce of our choosing. The bakery is located near Arlington Heights, off Washington Blvd. & 10th Ave.; you can't miss the bright red name banner & awning. Upon entering, your senses are hit with baking & cooking scents: pan dulces & pupusas? After selecting my Yelp freebie: Alemana (vanilla muffin pound cake), I asked what's their best seller & got the Quesadilla. It's a sweet, dense cheese bread with a texture that mimics a pound cake. It was really tasty if a tad on the dry side. My son picked the Oreja, literally translates as "ear" because it looks like one. This puff pastry is also called a palmier. It's sweet, light, crisp, & flaky. M says they're way better than Costco's. I also added a Brazo Gitano (strawberry & coconut Swiss/jelly roll), & Guisano (pineapple-filled roll). Although I might have mixed up Alemana & Guisano. I figured this is a mom & pop, so a menu is not probable, & requested the server's help; she was kind enough to take the extra time to provide the names of dulce pans. There's no dulce pan menu, but there is an electronic hot foods menu behind the counter. Not sure of price points, but I got 4 items, excluding my Yelp freebie, for $11.00+. There's a 50¢ surcharge with a cc payment. It would be nice to have placards labeling & pricing the items (sometimes pricing dictates my choices & the quantity). Friendly, knowledgeable, & helpful customer service... my server took extra time to provide the names of the dulce pans & describe what's in them. While I'm not likely in this part of town, I'm definitely a fan of this Central American bakery & will stop by if I'm in this neighborhood. Muchas gracias Yelp, CM Margaret, & La Usuluteca team for my weekend's sweet treats... mi dulce son muy deliciosos!!

Massive shoutout to Hayley (aka the bestest of the westest) and Ariana for making the magic happen! Thank you to the gracious Spaghettini Team for hosting & making a girl feel so loved by feeding me! Big love and cheers to Angela our incredible server -- she's so sweet and efficient! The food, vibes and music were bumping! This event is a combo -- food and entertainment which is right up my alley. This may sound odd but this is the first event that truly feels like a real restaurant experience -- nothing pre-set or served family-style. We were given several CHOICES from appetizers to desserts! The portion was large and satisfying. I'm a big eater so it was perfect! We started with drinks. My drinks were amazing as I was lucky to get TWO drinks - passionate fruit and watermelon mint mocktails! What I chose for my 3-course meal: Appetizer: Calamari, of course! It's perfectly fried and delicious without the sauce. Entrée: Parmesan Crusted Sea Bass, obviously! My favorite and finished it all including the buttermilk mashed potatoes. Dessert was a bit hard between Meyer Lemon Cheesecake or Chocolate Cake. At the end, chocolate always win for me. FOBO (fear of better options) moment for real! Luckily toward the end, another Yelper was so full, he offered me his lemon cheesecake. Ha-ha! As the yummy meal was served, the live band kicked into celebrate with the crowd, including tribute to D'Angelo (RIP). They sang hits from Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson! The music was fantastic, the band delivered a great performance, and the vocals were truly outstanding. The night nicely topped off with a menu book memorabilia from the co-owner (so unexpected).

Starting off with drinks, I mentioned that I wasn't much of a drinker and they graciously whipped up an off-menu mocktail. For courses, I went with the Wedge Salad, Parmesan Crusted Sea Bass, and the Chocolate Cake. Everything was too good and with great portion sizes too! We all went home with leftovers. This dinner party was also accompanied by a show of live music! If you're a fan of R&B and oldies, you'll loveeee it. Be sure to check their schedule to see who's up next. It was definitely a night to remember!

I have been here during Christmas but this was my first time experiencing it for Halloween. I read…read morea lot of reviews about this venue being too small. It is definitely smaller than the Christmas one, but it wasn't that bad. I still found it enjoyable. There are 10 different themed walk throughs. My favorite was definitely the Pumpkin Forest and the Dia De Los Muertos Ofrenda. You were able to write a note to a loved one that has passed and put it on the Ofrenda. They also had an open area with a bunch of different food/drink booths. Each booth sold something different like hot food, snacks, desserts, hot chocolate, and even alcoholic beverages. Tickets are a bit pricey for a walk through. We paid $70 for my husband and I. However, it's a great place to take the family to create memories or even a date night.

I would recommend getting tickets for the earliest showing because parking gets a bit crazy as the evening goes on. They have a few new exhibits this year in the big lawn area where all the food booths are. There are some cute wood carved ghosts that Chainsaw Jenna created. There are also some other totem pole type Halloween characters. Your little kids will have fun running around the hay bale maze. Grab something to drink, if you have a designated driver, and watch them run around for a bit. They will sleep well after that.

Parking is a little difficult so make sure you give yourself extra time to allow for parking. I came on a Friday mid-afternoon and this place was pretty busy, with people seated in and outdoors. We were given a free chai and dessert. I opted for the hot CARDAMOM CHAI and the MANGO LASSI CHEESECAKE. I also got a PISTACHIO ROSE LOAF $6 so I could try some more of their offerings. I waited for about 10 minutes for my order. The cardamom chai was delicious. I devoured the mango lassi cheesecake. It could have used a little more sauce on the top, but it was very good. The pistachio rose loaf was aesthestically pleasing and very tasty. It was moist and not overly sweet. I will definitely come back here for their other items like burritos and pranthas. Thank you for the yummy treat!

What a great Experience! For this event, participants were afforded a 30 Minute Massage. There was…read morealso a really nice selection of brunch type items available for before or after your massage. I was super impressed by that table of goodies. Offerings included Fresh fruit, Lemon Blueberry loaf, croissants, juices and other drinks. I was surprised by the amount of paperwork was involved in getting my massage. I didn't mind, of course, but it was kind of weird to have to fill out/answer/check off Four Pages of questions. But I get it. There is a clear purpose behind all of those questions. Not only does your therapist need your health information, they also want to make it clear that you have the option of declaring any part of your body off limits. You don't want anyone touching your butt, for example, just mark it on the intake form. They make it clear you can end your session anytime you want to, for whatever reason. My therapist, Whitney, was outstanding. Wow, she is good! She asked what areas I wanted her to focus on because this was just a 30 minute appointment. She asked how much pressure I preferred and then went right to work. As far as her technique, i was truly impressed! That girl's got skills! If I go back to Elements, I would most definitely book with her again. I particularly liked that she asked again and again if the amount of pressure was to my liking and then adjusted to whatever my response was. Excellent communication, excellent execution. After my massage I liked that Whitney had some advice for me to address the issues/areas that she had worked on. It was good advice and well received. Back in the lobby I was greeted again by Valerie who graciously shared a lot of information about Elements and told me about the Special Deals they had for Yelp Elite. Those deals were pretty sweet, too! Thank you to Valerie, my therapist Whitney, and everyone at Elements Massage! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services to anyone! Big thanks to Yelp for my invitation to this fantastic event! I sincerely appreciate it! And even more Thanks to our hard working CM, Jara S. for another unforgettable experience!

Massage?! Yes please!!…read more Elements Massage in Simi was definitely what I needed on a gloomy Saturday morning... Elites had appointment slots to come in & receive a 30 minute massage experience. Felt welcomed as soon as I walked in. Nice ambience & space felt open & clean. Met Valerie up at front, who checked me in & gave me paperwork to fill out. I didn't think they needed to know all this medical history, but it makes sense. I met Carolyn, who is the owner of Elements Massage. Thank you Carolyn for introducing yourself to me. A Big Thank You to you & the entire staff @ Elements for the wonderful Massage Experience! It's been years since I've had a professional human massage. Apparently the massage chairs I use don't do any justice lol. I met with Lidia, who was my masseuse for the day. Lidia was Amazing!! I appreciate that she was informative & explained things beforehand & during the session. She was pretty strong for a tiny gal! I did have to tell her to lighten the pressure a few times. I guess I'm a light weight when it comes to massages. Haha. It hurt a lil, but felt so good! The Massage felt Amazing!! Thank You Lidia for that massage I knew I needed! I hope to book another appointment with you! I was just a tad bit confused about the Elite Special being offered... Specials were for that day only... Valerie did mention that I was able to call anytime, that day of the event & get the special quotes... I called a couple hours later & talked to Sierra on the phone. I probably got her confused about what I wanted. Sierra did take the time to explain today's offer & clarified the Massage Specials for me. Thanks Sierra for doing that. Thank you to everyone at Elements Massage for having us! Thank You for the giveaway bags & also serving all the Goodies such as fruit & baked goods. Thank you to Yelp & our hardworking Yelp Central Coast Community Manager, Jara, for introducing us to another wonderful business!!
