    I love everything about guisados. Their tacos are a great size and price. My favorite is the pescado. It's always great to sit outside and eat my tacos and drink a modelo. Dogs are allowed outside and they have little bowls outside for them too. Great fast service from them as well.

    So delicious! Next time I will try the sampler but I was pleasantly surprised at the portions of the regular tacos as well. You can see the tortillas being made fresh as soon as you walk in. A variety of options available sure to cater to anyone. The new lavender horchata was so yummy and balanced. I can't wait to come back and try the next

    Great taco spot! A no frills taco spot that focuses on providing a great variety of options, from beef to vegan options. Right on sunset boulevard, perfect for a little people watching and enjoying the great time everyone is having, especially on a weekend afternoon.

    Why 4 stars? Because this was a solid pregame meal. --- --- --- On our walk to Dodger stadium, my friend recommended that we stop in at Guisados. I didn't know it was a chain until I ended up seeing what felt like 50 Guisado's locations throughout my few days in LA. That same friend recommended the taco sampler, which I was happy to oblige so that I could try as many as possible. The only bummer was that it did not include the seafood tacos, so naturally, I ordered the sampler + two full size seafood tacos. Between the 6 mini tacos which were all essentially, one large bite each, and the 2 full size tacos, I didn't dislike any of them. A couple were of the 5-star variety, while the rest were solid 4's. But convenience wise, this was a really good rec from my friend. Our walk from our hotel to the stadium was probably close to 3 miles by the time we actually got in our seats, so it was nice to have a little break here about halfway in between.

    Steak Picado and Camarones with (Dodger themed) Horchata in the back.

    Food did the job. Camarones were great but wasn't satisfied with the steak. Careful with the spice levels though because even one level above medium is super spicy. Ambiance was decent and staff was kind. I really enjoyed their agua frescas and horchata.I would want to go back to try their breakfast menu and try more of their drinks (especially their horchata cold brew).

    First timer here lol apparently this place is the spot for after a Dodgers game lol Service was great and food was delicious. We got the Sampler which consisted of 6 mini tacos. I was surprised they were hand made tortillas woww delicious lots of flavor on all meat options. It does get kinda loud inside when busy but they do have an outside patio in the back which is very nice and chill. Coming back when baseball season starts again lol

    Good place to come and try a variety of prepared "guisado" tacos. Best way to know what you like is to get the sampler platter and try a variety of tacos. A bit on the pricey side but worth a try.

    These hit the spot!

    I came here one night in between visiting sports venues and decided to get something filling and affordable. This is one of my go-to spots if I decide to eat outside of Dodger Stadium. I got a few tacos including the steak picado and chorizo. The steak picado had flank steak that was simmered with green bell peppers and bacon. It was also served with black beans and green serrano chile. Next up, I got the chorizo taco, which was a Mexican sausage served with green serrano chile, black beans, and red onions. These were so good and the amount was just right! I also ordered pollo tamales, which were filled with shredded chicken in green chile and it was delicious as well! Lastly, the Quesadilla con Chorizo was a great addition to the meal! It had queso panela that was grilled and combined with chorizo along with a serving of mild chipotle sour cream. All this really hit the spot and allowed me to get a second wind that evening!

    By far my favorite tacos in LA. The fresh corn tortillas and the fillings are beyond. I would eat these every day if I could. Definitely get the sampler. The cochinita pibil and bistek are my favorites. You can't miss the quesadilla con chorizo too! Don't forget to ask for extra salsa verde

    Taco spot on sunset they have multiple locations. I ordered the chorizo taco and their bistec taco with green sauce. Tortillas were super fresh, I liked the chorizo taco a lot although it was a bit oily.

    Chorizo breakfast burrito
    Selene S.

    Got lunch here with coworkers. Parking can be a real challenge as they have a small parking lot and there is limited street parking. You order at the counter and they bring your food out if you're eating it there. They have limited counter seating by the entrance and also some patio seating. Ambiance was nice with some colorful mural art. I got the chorizo breakfast burrito ($8.50) which includes pork chorizo, egg, cheese, and chile verde. I excluded the beans. It was a pretty filling burrito that was just right. They have tacos but pretty pricey at $4.25-4.95 each.

    I didn't even know this place existed. SUPER GEM! The location was clean and staff was friendly, answering questions about the menu and making recommendations (thank you). Conveniently located with lots of parking and clear signage! There's cute bar seating available, and you can't miss that big red building looking for the street! Now let's get to the food! It was a last minute, late night run, but the food was AMAZING! The shrimp tacos in particular! Each bite was delicious and mouth watering! I also got asada tacos, which were also the bomb. My mouth is watering just thinking about them! My little sister also got tacos, and she said they were perfect! The price point was pretty good too! I will definitely be coming back, and 100% getting those shrimp tacos again!!!! 10/10 for sure!

    1 Star -- Extremely disappointing experience…read more Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was horrible from the moment we arrived. When I first arrived, I gave them the name of our reservation, and the staff had no idea what I was talking about. We were a party of 6, yet they seated us at a tiny table that was clearly not appropriate for our group. When it was time to order, my husband very clearly told the waiter which pasta he wanted and even showed him a picture of the item on the menu. The waiter looked at it and agreed. My food came out, but my husband's food never did. We eventually found out that his order was never even put in. What made it worse was when the waiter came out saying, "Oh my God, I thought you said you didn't want it." Everyone at the table looked at him completely confused because my husband had literally told him what he wanted and showed him the menu item. Instead of simply acknowledging the mistake and fixing it, we were left waiting. On top of that, trying to get anyone's attention was nearly impossible. We had to repeatedly try to get someone's attention just to get basic service. Then there was another issue with the entrance fee. My sister-in-law had messages showing that we were told that if we ate at the restaurant, we would no longer have to pay the entrance fee. We showed those messages to the woman handling the wristbands, but instead of looking into it or speaking to someone who could clarify the situation, she simply said, "I don't know, you have to pay." No attempt was made to investigate or resolve the issue. After everything that happened, they still added a tip to the bill, despite the extremely poor service we received. Overall, this was one of the most frustrating restaurant experiences I've had. Poor communication, poor service, lack of organization, and no effort to make things right. I definitely will not be recommending this place to anyone, and we will not be returning.

For Dine LA, I started with the Tostada Campechana, which was like an elevated ceviche with scallops, tuna, yellowtail, avocado, and a citrus sesame sauce. Everything tasted super fresh and the citrus gave it the perfect balance. The Bone Marrow Mole was rich, flavorful, and came with a generous portion and toast. For my main course, I had the skirt steak, which was cooked perfectly--tender, well-seasoned, and delicious with the green sauce. The homemade tortillas were amazing too. We ended with the Dulce de Leche Panna Cotta, and it was the perfect finish--creamy, smooth, not overly sweet, and so good we practically cleaned the plate. Amazing food, great portions, beautiful atmosphere, and excellent service. Ka'teen definitely delivered. I would absolutely come back again.

Since they live in an area with limited Mexican cuisine, I chose Guelaguetza, a James Beard Award-winning restaurant with authentic Oaxacan recipes, something completely new to them. They were excited to try something different, as they don't have many Mexican food options where they live, and I wanted to expand their culinary horizons. We were greeted with complimentary chips - some were drizzled with mole and Oaxacan cheese, which we requested refills of, and others were served with red and green salsas. The green salsa had a nice kick to it. For our meal, we shared two large dishes: the Festival de Moles ($53.00) and the Tlayuda Guelaguetza ($27.50). The Tlayuda Guelaguetza, which is also called a Mexican pizza, was layered with bean and chicharron spread, queso fresco, cabbage, quesillo, beef tasajo, pork Cecina, and pork chorizo. While I've always wanted to try Tlayuda, this one wasn't good, and I wouldn't recommend it. The pork chorizo was particularly unappetizing, and neither my parents nor I enjoyed the dish, feeling it was a waste of money. The Festival de Moles ($53.00) featured four individual moles - negro, rojo, coloradito, and estofado - with a choice of shredded chicken breast or pork spare ribs. We opted for a mix of both and found this dish to be excellent, and we would definitely order it again. They were very impressed with the moles, and enjoyed them for the first time. The only minor complaint was a lack of tortillas to dip with the mole, though they did provide some rice. We ordered several drinks, which significantly increased the bill. I was surprised we spent $200 on lunch for three people with only two meals. I started with the Pasion De Oaxaca ($16.00), a mezcal, tequila, passion fruit, grapefruit juice, and tajin cocktail that was excellent, perfectly balanced, strong, but not too sweet. For my second drink, I had the refreshing Aquas Frescas - Jamaica ($6), which was perfect after my meal. I even took it to go, and they kindly provided a cup. My dad ended up taking it, as he needed it with his medication (they're old!). My parents, who were trying mole for the first time, were very impressed and really enjoyed it. Our only minor complaint was the lack of tortillas to dip in the mole, although they did provide some rice. The food took a little longer to come out, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. I imagine this type of cuisine is labor-intensive, and you can't rush the cooking time for mole. You just have to trust the process! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Guelaguetza Restaurante and will definitely be back. I can see why they're a James Beard Award-winning restaurant; you can get authentic Oaxacan flavors in LA! We're lucky to live here.

Unfortunately the flavors for the food here fell really flat for us for the most part. We came here for my friend's birthday and her steak was perfectly cooked and delicious. The pulque bread with miso butter and the guac were also delicious appetizers. Those were the 3 best dishes of the night. We also shared the crab bunuelos, the cochinita sopes, and the pulpo tacos. Sopes are my favorite Mexican dish, but these ones were too difficult to cut through/bite through. The pulpo taco, we could mostly taste the tortilla, the pulpo didn't shine through. And the bunuelos were fine, but not something super memorable. One of my friends had the duck emolada, and I had the branzino. As I mentioned, the birthday girl got the steak and that was delicious. But my other friend was really let down by his emolada which he has been wanting to try forever. My branzino was well cooked, the green sauce was pretty good. But the tomatillo greens salad on the dish was possibly one of the worst things I've ever eaten. And I love bitter, and I love greens.... But this was next level where I involuntarily made a sour puss face with each bite. For dessert we had the chocolate cake with cafe de Olla which was moist and good. We also got the pulque with the prickly pear, which was veryyyyyy sweet and none of us cared for that much. (Even tho I usually love prickly pear desserts) The service was nice, no one dropped the ball, but nothing stood out either. The restaurant itself is beautiful but it is open air (with no AC) so it was very hot since we have had so many hot days here in LA. We took a Lyft so we didn't have to worry about parking.
