I'll get right to it... This place is great! However, if…read moreyou're a bit of a food snob - maybe a little particular (like I am...), you might not think so when you first walk in. I had hesitations. It was pretty empty, all eyes on sports, no one greeted me for a while, the table needed a dust-off. I had expectations - like that the vegetarian burrito should have vegetables (this one is just rice, beans, onion and cilantro...). I thought that maybe since they have shrimp and enchiladas, that they would make a shrimp enchilada - they won't. The have beer, no wine, no margs. I was a hungry pescatarian, getting more anxious - but I stuck to the plan, and I'm glad I did. What I didn't understand was the authenticity. The rest doesn't matter. Yes, I was having a minor melt-down, so I kept things basic. Just cheese enchiladas. I was resolved to be disappointed. I was NOT. The enchiladas were EPIC. I asked for more sauce because I wanted to take a bath in it. I usually skip rice, I ate it all - so much flavor. The beans too - too delicious to be vegetarian - so I didn't ask, and I'll never regret. This place is legit - and I am sorry I ever doubted. I also tried my companions chile relleno, which I usually don't care for - and I LOVED IT. My other companion had carne asada, which I did not sample - but he said it was delightful. Yeah, I've got some LA attitude from time to time, but this place beats most of my LA haunts on flavor. So stick to the basics, don't be a snob, and you'll be in for a real treat.

Food: they have a vast variety of seafood plates and options. The mariscos/seafood tastes fresh and they are open to work with you for special request on your plate of choice. Location: there is plenty of parking space. The place is kind of small in my opinion, it get crowded over the weekend. My recommendation is for you to get there early. Ambiance: the music was loud, therefor be aware of possible complications to have a nice conversation without feeling that you gotta turn up your voice volume. The place could benefit from a little extra cleanliness, I understand it's a seafood place although it does give a sense of needing extra cleanliness. Team/staff: they are were attentive and ready to assist when needed. We had a little complication since two of our family members did not get their place fast, three of us had our plate ready and the other 2 waited a good 10 extra minutes. Maybe more organization over how to distribute table tables as a group. Nice experience and they also have alcoholic drinks which seem tasty and fresh. Their aguas frescas were delicious and super refreshing. Highly recommend visiting them ASAP! :)

Last week, I went and got a chicken supreme burrito from this taco truck. It was actually the first…read moretime I'd had a burrito from a taco truck in over 10 years. This burrito was the best thing I had ever tasted. It was so good, every day after that, anytime I was eating, I was just wishing it was that burrito. At one point I actually wished that I could un-taste it. Because now everything else just seemed flavorless, or lacking in comparison. It ruined all other food for me. It was easier not remembering how good it was, since I'm sure it's not very healthy and I would be better not knowing. That was until last night. I finally gave in and decided I would get it again. I hadn't eaten all day so I was actually starting to feel nauseated from being so hungry. I went around 9:00pm. Ordered the same exact thing. The woman who took my order was friendly, and my order was ready surprisingly fast! I grabbed my food, went home, turned on a movie, and started digging in to what I had waited so long for, and thought so much about. I ate about 1/5 of the burrito before I started thinking it tasted kind of funny... I couldn't figure out what it was, but something was wrong with it. I kept eating it and decided I recognized what it tasted like- fish! I do like seafood, so I just figured, maybe they just finished making some fish, and didn't clean the grill off well enough before making mine. I wasn't sure if I was crazy, or if it really tasted like fish. So, I asked my boyfriend to take a bite and tell me if it tasted fishy to him. He took a bite and said "that's fish they accidentally gave you fish instead" and went and spit out the bite in the trash. Well, I looked up the menu, and it turns out, they don't even serve any fish or seafood! I googled why my burrito might taste like fish, and it said rancid meat. Anyways- I'm really, really disappointed. Because last week was the best burrito I have had in my life, whereas last night was the worst. It's quite a gamble.

What caught my eye with La Bohemia is that they serve shrimp. And I love me a shrimp burrito. What they don't tell you is that if you order a shrimp burrito, you are actually ordering a shrimp fajita burrito. So I have to specify that I want a normal burrito but with shrimp, and not the peppers and onions since I'm not a fan. They have been very good about getting my order right. I came a number of times before writing this for consistency. I thought the carne asada was really poor quality, it was almost like old minced meat, not diced steak. The burritos are big portions and I often can't finish mine. The people are friendly. But they are cash only. This is something that has stopped me from coming back. I don't often carry cash, and most other taco trucks accept card payments.

So we're on a crusade to check out all the Taco Trucks in my Village. Believe me there is a lot of them. I knew about this particular Taco Truck from my Homeboy Migz. Back in the day when we chilled in Townhome Apartments. My boy would grab tacos and burritos from here. Because after a night of drinking. You do be getting the Drunchies. Note: Drunchies is another word for munchies. But you're drunk lol. Got the word from my friend Pimp K. So I really couldn't tell you how it tasted then. But I can tell you how it taste today.:) So I picked my baby girl up from school and she on point because she knows Daddy gets paid every Friday. First thing was "Daddy, I love you" "Let's go to the burrito truck". When we arrived she wanted two things Nachos and a $5 Asada Burrito. Unfortunately they didn't have any Nachos. So we just ordered the Burrito and left. The burrito was a good size and it was plain. All my princess wants is meat, rice and beans. So no sauce or anything else. She can never finish it and so once again I took one for the team and killed it. I had to add some salt and pepper to it, plus some jalapenos they gave me. I gotta mix it up a bit, I can't eat it plain. Now my burrito was ready to be eaten by yourstrully. With the little this and that it turned out Bombay. We have a family tradition if it's good the kids give me thumbs up or a peace sign. So when you see us throwing them signs up, it's all Gucci mane. Doing what Dad's do, spending time with our kids. My three kids come first and everything else is a bonus in life. So yeah we'll be back very soon. Vincent D *VD* Enjoying the simple things in life.
