Amazing. Spectacular. Give me 14 of them right now…read more I would love to return a million more times! Best americano I've tried to date. The cafe de olla latte has some extra spices (e.g. orange) in it that makes the flavor more complex. The guayaba (guava) pastry was so flakey and delicious. The coffee cake is inspired by LAUSD - it was very fluffy & fresh!! Went in on a Wednesday morning & the service was very friendly. I noticed many items are labeled both in Spanish & English, which is admirable. This small business knows exactly the neighborhood they reside in, and they cater to the residents. The only thing I would change is moving this establishment closer to where I live! Kudos to Picaresca for being loud & proud about supporting human rights.

She turned me onto their signature El Pino latte, which is made with chamomile, brown sugar, and rosemary. It tastes amazing with oat milk, so much so that I make it a point to stop by every time I visit my friend. I've always gotten my coffee to go here, but they do have a few tables inside and out. Service was friendly. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average.

Both sandwiches were packed with meat/ chicken and on top of that they both came out hot and ready to devour. The bread was succulent and a good amount of mayo and ketchup was added. All in all this is the experience we had been wanting to have and I'm so glad we went back. Thank you to Henry, again, for going out of his way to make us feel welcomed and well attended. He was happy to have us back and we felt very appreciated as customers. Can't wait to come back and try other sandwiches!

Plus, when you have cheese, the juice from the meat, and other sauce in it, Mayo is just confusing and unnecessary. The sandwich itself tasted good, but it was a lot of bread for the meat and toppings served. I would've appreciated having some of the bread hollowed out. But if you like lots of bread, then this is your jam. Price is decent for this day and age, and it was a big sandwich. I might come back and try the patty melt. I love Patty melts

The corn dog came with some crisp corny tortilla chips and salsa and was topped with sweet ketchup, gooey cheese, was coated in crispity crunchity panko breadcrumbs and had an a bit sweet fluffy bready batter filled with half mozzarella and half a spongy fish sausage. Course we gotta mix up the bibimbap that had a not spicy chili flavor gochujang sauce, crunchy nutty lettuce, tender grilled veggies, pickled yellow radish, an egg, and perfectly sweet, savory, grilled, galbi short ribs that were just pure deliciousity.

Portion wise, I definitely made the mistake of over ordering because it ended up being too much food but prices on Doordash were too affortable so I couldn't pass up on the opportunity! I felt very underwhelmed with my food choices however, everything was on the sweeter side. I've ordered Korean hot dogs before, but it was my first time receiving tortilla chips as a side. The cheese was also not cooked all the way, and I ended up receiving just a block of cheese. Ddukbokki had a similar issue tasting sweet (to me).. the only redeeming item was the bulgogi bimbimbap. For DoorDash takeout, the portions of the bimbimbap were very generous and filling. Would I order again? Very unlikely, but I would be open to trying new items in the future

The service really is top notch! Most importantly though the food, such incredible food that makes you feel like you're eating at a super high end restaurant. Chef Luis not only elevates his dishes, but excels at his attention to detail in making his food incredible. I had their turkey club sandwich with sweet potato fries, their homemade pizza and as a special request a patty melt with pepper jack cheese. All dishes were not just well received, there were empty plates. Seriously if you're in the neighborhood, the restaurant is located inside the Holiday Inn and Suites. Such a hidden gem that should not be overlooked.
