Ember B.

So impressed with the taste & quality. They're doing what chipotle is doing just wayyyyyyy better. Quality is apparent with each and every ingredient. Prices are fair too. If thinking about trying it just do it

Menu
Jessica D.

What I ordered | spicy garlic shrimp bowl. | beef birria taco Taste | flavor and portion was solid. Which there was more sauce and the birria soup to dip the taco in. Their melon juice was also very good Service | server was nice and food came out fast Parking | mall garage / street Notes | outdoor seating, order first and they bring food to you

Chicken Taco on Corn, birria beef bowl, shrimp bowl

LOQUI a bit sad I just discovered this spot, but better sooner than later right? @eatloqui specializes in modern Baja and Yucatán-inspired Mexican cuisine, with a menu that features rice bowls, fresh tortillas, housemade salsas, and protein options such as birria beef, achiote chicken, pork cochinita, spicy garlic shrimp, and more! Everything is crafted from fresh, wholesome ingredients, and you can definitely tell the difference in the quality of all their menu offerings. Loqui is definitely my new go-to spot for fast casual (but healthy!) Mexican food! Featured here: spicy garlic shrimp rice bowl birria beef rice bowl achiote chicken taco

I was visiting my mom from DC and we did a tour of the Sony Picture Studios just down the street. Since I was in CA, I wanted good Mexican food for lunch and found this spot on Yelp. It's near a parking garage and in a small shopping center with boutique shops. They have a few spots to sit inside and space outside (they also have a bathroom - bonus!) We ordered 3 tacos to share (birria, pork, spicy garlic ship) which was plenty and each was flavorful. If I lived nearby, I'd go once a week :)

Chicken Plate
Joe G.

Well this is the first time that I tried Loqui and I have to say the Chicken Plate is a bit underwhelming. There is a bit of the flavor but it was more or less forgettable. Nothing really stood out and despite the nice presentation and colors, there is just no real distinctive flavor, even with the chili sauce. The chips are a bit better at least. I am willing to try a different protein to see if that will improve, however.

Chicken Bowl (I got no beans)
Kyle W.

First time trying Loqui today. I was excited to support local and not go to chipotle for once. I got the chicken bowl, no beans, to go. They forgot cheese on my bowl, great start. Also they only have Cotija cheese for bowls/tacos. The chicken is good and taste FAR superior to chipotle buts it's dry af. They don't have sour cream and the salsa container they give you is small, but it's good salsa. Smoky. Tortillas are fine, but nothing crazy. Guac is good and I like that they have pickled red onion. Again taste is OK, but the execution is awful. I'll come back to give them another chance but a chipotle bowl would have hit harder than this.

Spicy Shrimp taco with a perfectly warmed flour tortilla
Gennie H.

Okay Spicy Shrimp taco!!!! Yummy... was working in the area and decided to give this place a try. I was not disappointed with that first bite.... Flour tortilla was warmed to my liking.... Just a little crunch! The shrimp cooked perfectly. The sauce is delicious, but I could not get the true flavor of it due to the cilantro and onion. Love the balance of the shredded cabbage!!! Now, I love me some Jamaica, but this one need a little more sugar for my palette. I like mine on the sweeter side. I was able to taste the flower which has a bitter taste. Now, parking sucks!!!! However, that first bite into that taco was worth it

Chips & Guacamole
Michael G.

Love the way this spot is serving bold and fresh flavors! Finally got around to trying and I'm glad I did. Ordered delivery and it took about 20 min to arrive from Studio City to NoHo Arts District. I'd probably give it 3.5 overall, a few flavor tweaks would bump it to a 4. The menu is simple and there are a variety of protein options to choose from (even veggie -- that isn't bell peppers!) We went with 1/2 chicken and 1/2 shrimp - great portion. Bowl already comes with rice, beans, pickled onions, and guac. We added lettuce just to try. The lettuce wasn't necessary - it was shredded and probably better in taco. The rice was fluffy and had a good amount of flavor - could have used more. Beans were not seasoned and didn't have much flavor, overall. I'd still get the beans and rice as they pair well with the protein options. The pickled onions and guac were solid! Loved the brightness the pickled onions provided. Guac was well balanced and had good flavor. I would get extra pickled onions next time. There aren't a lot of topping options, which isn't a bad thing! We also tried the cochinita pibil taco. It was very oily, so I probably wouldn't get it again. It was a bit salty for my liking, but it may taste good in a bowl as the rice and beans could absorb the flavor. I would try another protein next time. Their salsas are excellent! The 'chip salsa' was chunky and had a fresh flavor. The red salsa sort of reminded me of a taqueria salsa -- packed a punch but enjoyable. The 'black salsa' was my favorite. It was light and had a very bold flavor with a good amount of heat. It reminded me of an aguachile type of sauce - tasted really good with the shrimp I got!

ORDER HERE: https://loqui.opnl.co/emailphoebeeats New customers get 20% off their first order. Download the Loqui app in the App Store or use the link to place your order. Loqui, located in The Platform in Culver City and four other SoCal locations, was started by friends inspired by flavors they experienced throughout Mexico, particularly the Yucatan and Baja regions. Tacos come in flour or corn tortillas. I know flour tortillas sound sacrilegious to us Angelenos, but trust, the tacos aren't wimpy street tacos, these are hefty like burritos. I tried the birria, shrimp, mushroom, and their best seller chicken tacos. The mushrooms are packed with unami and will satisfy even the biggest carnivores. The shrimp taco and birria taco are different twists with traditional flavors that pack a punch. Be sure to try their smoked habanero and chile de arbol salsas. Also.. make sure to get an order of the chips and guacamole. Loqui is generous with the portions and that combination of the creamy guacamole with the salty crisp of their chips is perfection. It also comes with their house salsa which bursts with freshness.

Loqui is like chipotle but a lot better! I got the half garlic shrimp half chicken bowl and everything was delicious. It's such a nice, balanced, and filling meal. I do wish there was a really punchy flavorful salsa that came with it, the sauces are not that flavorful, and that's my only complaint.

Anaheim Chile Taco (flavorful, not spicy)
Shilpa D.

I stopped by today and had the Anaheim Chile Taco and it was good. Service was also quick and friendly. And their homemade hot sauce was also delicious. I'll definitely try their other locations closer to me as well!

Angelica A.

I was extremely disappointed this last experience . I ordered curbside to avoid the hectic parking situation. I opted to get flour tortilla and extra guacamole. I forgot to add extra salsa on the side and called in to let the staff know and they wonderfully sent it out with my order . But, that was the only right thing I received. I'm not sure why the tacos on corn made such a big disappointing difference but it was not worth the money. When I received my food it was also cold. I contacted customer service and the wait time was long but eventually they were able to resolve the issue .

Chicken bowl
Rae C.

This place is pretty much a less impressive but more expensive chipotle. Smaller portions and only one salsa option that's way too spicy. The pickled onions and guacamole already added in were a nice touch though and helped redeem the bowl a little. The chicken was also super juicy and seasoned well! Not the best but not the worst. It was just okay.

Is your cooking oil GMO, meaning conventional canola or vegetable oil(which means it has canola in it)?

We use a 90/10 canola & olive blend. Hope this helps

What beer options are there?

Just a couple of craft beers($6.00) in a bottle and I think Modelo($5.00)

You have an outdoor space. Is this place dog friendly?

90/10 blend

Does this place have a taco tuesday? If so, what are the prices?

What's the way to order food not spicy? I've failed after four attempts so far, and that means the food is brutally spicy, like physical pain after each bite. Today I ordered no onions, then removed the guac and it worked out pretty well.

Go back to the Midwest?🤷🏻‍♂️

Vegan

Are high chairs available?

Yes

Stopped by with my spouse for a quick and cheap bite. I had heard about Tito's being a famous,…read morebeloved west side spot, so I was eager to check it out! We arrived at a peak rush-hour time. Plenty of parking, and, while the line looked quite intimidating, the wait was not nearly as bad as it looked. Really fast service and friendly staff members. Note that there's not a lot of seating, so be prepared to potentially eat in your car or take the food to-go. I ordered a Tito's taco, an enchilada, a cup of guacamole to accompany the chips and salsa with my order, and a piña agua fresca. The taco was delicious. It could have been stuffed just a bit more, but it absolutely hit the spot. The enchilada was not nearly as good as the taco, unfortunately. Texture was very tough and dense, and the flavors were not quite there. The piña agua, however, was absolutely fantastic. Tasted exactly like a fresh pineapple with a perfect level of sweetness. The chips and salsa were my favorite part of the meal, though. The salsa was superb, the guac tasted great (very much a creamy, less viscous texture), and the chips were perfectly fried and obviously fresh. Personally, I thought the prices were fair for what we received. Way higher than a taco stand where the quality would be better, equal or slightly less than a taqueria, but way lower than one of the boutique taco shops around the area, especially given the fact that the chips and salsa come with each meal.

3 stars only because I've been coming here for over 20 years. The tacos with cheese, beef/cheese…read moreburrito, and 1 large salsa have always been my go to order. The tacos remain the best beef hard shell and the salsa is the best in the world. However, it is an absolute tragedy and should be illegal that it's $6.15 for one taco with cheese and $14.70 for a beef cheese burrito. It is also a tragedy that the burrito is kids size that my 2 year old can eat on their own. These used to be my favorite and huge, but I can no longer order them. This place used to be a family favorite but I can no longer order extras like we used to. They closed off the inside which was convenient to order, I think just to make the outside look busy. I'm not a fan of these new changes to my favorite taco place in LA.

I'm always in a rush, so I never stop. Well tonight is my night. It was a bit cold and windy, but who cares - I get TACOS! There is always a line and folks sitting at the provided tables and seats in front of their truck. They have all your favorites, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, gringas and even fajitas! My favorite and default tacos are always going to be the carnitas and carne asada. Right after that will be Al Pastor and Chicken. They also have lingua, tripe, cabeza as well as chorizo! While they take cards, bring cash, that's the best price. Card prices are a bit more. Their prices are clearly marked on the huge menu. Orders come out quick and help yourself to the condiments bar filled with limes, pickled onions, red and green salsas and sauces, radishes, and pico de gallo. The guys behind the grill are friendly and fast. They do a great job of keeping the area clean and keeping the condiment bar stocked. They have trucks all over LA. Check out their locations on their website or here on Yelp! I am coming back and want to try their burritos and tortas!

I think if the chips and salsa were still unlimited the increase in food prices wouldn't be such a hit as well. Their drinks are always great I just wish they had happy hour since the prices really are up there with other new and modern restaurants with no fun deals or unlimited chips and salsa like many other family style places. Their servers are kind and attentive and there's not a crazy amount of tables so there tends to be a wait no matter the time of day. Also parking can be hard to find as it's basically located inside a neighborhood.

As a major pineapple fan, I understand it's more traditional to add that with al pastor but I add it onto my carne asada tacos and it is so yummy. Their pineapple is freshly cut right in front of you and is my favorite aspect of this vendor as I know not all vendors have it. Lastly, let's be clear that not all horchata is created equally but El Primo has superior horchata. The amount of milkiness and cinnamon is absolute perfection as I've had some watery horchatas in the past, so make sure you grab yourself a horchata while you're here. As someone who lives in the valley, despite recently discovering this spot a few weeks ago I find myself driving out to Venice a lot lately just for these tacos because they are just THAT GOOD and also very cheap. Just make sure you bring cash or have Zelle and enjoy the food here because it is phenomenal.
