    Doesn't it sound like the name of a 1970's TV detective show about undercover aerobics instructors starring Suzanne Somers and the Landers sisters? "FREEZE! Drop your weapons, buster! We're LA Buns!" But no such luck as it was a burger joint in the heart of WeHo. In a particularly weak moment after gazing at all the hardbodies on the floats during WeHo Pride, Jamie W. and I decided to indulge. No, not that way. Both of us ordered the $7.89 Chili Cheese Burger (photo: https://bit.ly/443FrH8), but we showed some modesty and shared the $4.89 French Fries (photo: https://bit.ly/3OnPhh6). We even had our limits. The burgers were more Sloppy Joe style than truly satisfying, but does it matter when the eye candy provided all the calories we could handle? OK, that sounded like we helped ourselves to... No, we just ate meat and carbs. That still didn't sound right, did it? FOOD - 3 stars...sloppy chili cheeseburgers if that floats your boat AMBIANCE - 3 stars...one of those roadside places with just outdoor seating SERVICE - 3 stars...fast and unmemorable TOTAL - 3 stars..."you're under arrest...we're LA Buns!"

    Taco
    JX L.

    The food here was absolutely bomb. I enjoyed myself a lot in here with my friend. We ordered 2 sodas, 1 burger, 1 taco plate, 1 side of fries. Total is like $32. Definitely enough food to take home. However, when I asked for utensils, the chef seems unhappy with me. Other than that, great experience.

    Chorizo burrito. My fav

    Love LA Buns! I get a kick in my step when I know I'm picking up my fav chorizo burrito from LA Buns. The egg to chorizo is on point: one ingredient doesn't overpower the other. The fries are made to order. Delish! Affordable prices and friendly helpful staff. A+

    Great local go-to. Recently increased prices and reduced hours but they are still in business and an affordable local option.

    Chicken burrito
    Andrew S.

    Great place to grab a bite after a night out with friends. I have to admit that I was a tipsy when I ordered a burrito from here one night. The Burrito was delicious and I also had a side of chips with salsa. My friends had the tacos and they said it was really good too. I actually want to come back and try the food when I'm completely sober lol. Then I'll really know if it's as good as I remember. The downside is that it's CASH ONLY...which loses a star. I'm NOT a fan of Cash Only places.....It's 2017!!! It's in very convenient location on Santa Monica Blvd. I'm guessing that a majority of their customers are from the Santa Palm Car Wash. Great way to wait for your car while it's being washed. Parking is street metered for the most part. Not sure if there are any areas without restrictions for parking. I'll definitely be giving this place another shot. More photos to come!

This one is actually in WeHo east of La Cienega in kind of an upmarket strip mall. It was just strolling distance from our hotel, so it was the ideal spot for a casual dinner before venturing onto Santa Monica Blvd for the PRIDE festivities. We actually had the foresight to make a reservation and were initially seated inside next to the bar where a couple of loud sluggos were holding court. To his immense credit, the host noticed the noise and asked if we would prefer a quieter seat in the patio. This was LA, so hell yeah. We were grateful. The menu has many delectable specialties, though we were feeling conscientious and focused on their salads. Jamie ordered the $24 Mexican Chopped Salad, a robust mix of grilled chicken, chopped romaine and arugula, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, radishes, avocado, and queso fresco, drizzled with lemon vinaigrette (Photo 9). It was a Cal-Mex delight. I went with the $25 Oaxaca Cactus Salad with grilled shrimp, fresh cactus, diced tomatoes, red onions, jalapenos, cilantro, and queso fresco. It was liberally mixed with tomatillo dressing (Photo 8). The cactus provided a nice, crunchy texture. We also shared the $10 Grilled Seasonal Veggies, a tasty mix of carrots, zucchini, and summer squash (Photo 7). But don't be too impressed by our healthy choices because we went for the $12 Mexican Bunuelos (Photo 10). Crispy, thin fritters topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. FOOD - 4 stars...fresh takes on Mexican, well executed AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...the patio was nice even as it started to crowd SERVICE - 4.5 stars...the host was on the ball, the server was aces TOTAL - 4 stars...definitely a nice, casual find in WeHo RELATED - Exploring West Hollywood?

Her amazing energy and smile, really changed the entire vibe. Thank you Catalina for being so incredibly nice, friendly and helpful. I'm really not into spicy food and Casa Madera specializes in spicy. So, I had a very bland Striped Bass and equally uneventful street corn. My gf loved her meal. She had the Prime Filet and enjoyed it. We started out with the Ceviche and it was excellent. Based on the overall experience, we will not return. However, I sincerely hope that the management team formally recognizes Catalina for her incredible customer service!

We had to get the Michelada Oysters again because I had been craving them since our last visit. They were just as amazing as I remembered--fresh, perfectly seasoned, and seriously addicting. 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.

End of the day, a $68 bill pre-tip for a less than genrous plate of ($16??) guac and 4 very small tacos with no rice or beans included and one draft Modelo is just unacceptable. The tacos were adequate, but unspectacular. 'Filet mignon' tacos were a single unchopped hunk of meat well flavored but so bare and small for 2x $22. The guac was too refrigerated, with not fully ripened avocado that resulted in an overly sweet taste and slightly firm texture that was unpleasant. Chips were also just not very good, and also not as far as I could tell complimentary. Service gets high marks for speed and efficiency, but felt super impersonal. Example, a server asked us how everything was while we were clearly just sitting there, not having tasted any of it waiting for some limes to arrive at the table. Just asked the question without surveying at all, and it was very performative and not genuine. Which is fine. I'm not at all mad at the servers, tough job but worth noting when noting the tip % options on the POS. End of the day I don't know if I'll be back or not. Everybody has an off day. But just about every aspect was less than stellar(draft beer was excellent) especially compared to three previous excellent visits. It's getting harder to justify going out for dinner, and at these prices, I would hope they could do a little better.
