    Cantaloupe aqua fresca, pork cochinita bowl
    Audrey F.

    Nice casual spot for Mexican food offering bowls, tacos, and some sides. Decent amount of seating both indoors and outdoors so you can bring your dog! Overall, thought my food tasted good and the bowl was large enough that it lasted me for another meal, so the price seemed reasonable for how much food I got. The cantaloupe agua fresca was very refreshing and a perfect pairing for the meal.

    This is a very clean, calm establishment. The food is beyond fulfilling of the expectations in the service. They are so kind and welcoming. The food is also just as flavorful and amazing and they have additional sauces. I will highly recommend definitely a check out.

    Guac and Chips

    Great spot for some healthy dining. Love how casual this spot is and there is some indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was super friendly. We loved the fresh made chips and guac and did really like our bowls I just wish they had a bit low spice to them.

    This is definitely not your typical Mexican taco place. It's a LA priced for sure. It's a rather cute place to sit and eat with friends but because it was so late, we had to order takeout. Upon opening our boxes we were a little disappointed to see the boxes weren't labeled to note which tacos were in each box. We had to dig around to see which ones didn't have cilantro, the special requests, etc. This is nit picky, but for the price point, labels really would have been nice to have been utilized. The boxes had labels, but nothing was checked... I liked the pork and the beef flour tacos. Both were dry but had a lot of fillings and seasonings (borderline too salty). The garlic shrimp is spicy (and they really mean it). Overall a decent, boujee-ish taco place that I'd come back to experience the vibes. Btw, two tacos was actually filling due to their size.

    Cantaloupe agua fresca

    Solid fast casual spot that is open during a random weekday afternoon. Perfect for early happy hour or linner. The table seating outside is very nice, with some shade. Grabbed a Cantaloupe Agua Fresca which was very refreshing! Bowls met expectations with a healthy scoop of guac and the right ratio of everything.

    I've been here twice now, and been impressed each time! I dream of this place in my sleep! Parking is super easy, I just park in the Whole Foods garage and walk over! There's always seating available, it doesn't get too busy. And food is always fresh! I always get their chips and guacamole! They give a good amount of guac and the guac is always such a fresh bright green! Taste super delicious too! This time around I ordered a garlic shrimp bowl! The price is fair and they give a good amount of shrimp! It's again, very fresh and delicious! The presentation is always beautiful as well! My friend ordered the tacos and enjoyed hers as well. I truly feel like you can't go wrong with any of their menu items! Can't wait to come back!

    Ordered UberEATS and was hesitant to pay $8+/taco but after reading all the great reviews, I had high expectations! Unfortunately, I felt like I got overpriced tacos and the tacos were very underwhelming. There are a variety of bowls and tacos and pricing is pricey. Expect to pay $8+/taco and $16-$17/bowl. There are 6 different kinds of tacos to choose from - chicken, mushroom, pork, Chile, spicy garlic shrimp, and beef birria. Ordered 3 different kinds - chicken, shrimp, and beef birria. - Chicken ($7.69) was pretty decent. The chicken was tender and flavorful. It came with smokey habanero salsa so it was extremely spicy! Got it with flour tortilla (+$0.50) and it was just ok. This was 7/10 - Spicy Shrimp ($7.91) was extremely spicy! It came with a lot of shrimp and the shrimp was pretty big! The salsa was quite spicy so I won't recommend getting it you can't handle spicy well! This was 7/10 - Beef Birria ($7.91) was just ok. It came with an Anaheim Chile so I was expecting it to be super spicy but surprisingly, it wasn't spicy at all. It came with a generous amount of shredded beef and beans. This was 7/10 Overall, I was pretty disappointed with the tacos. Definitely not the best tacos I've ever had and it seemed like "Americanized Mexican" tacos.

    10/10 michis!

    Love the vibes, and always consistent with their michis and shrimp tacos! Randomly found this gem and keep coming back.

    Didn't have high expectations but I was wowed from the service, style and flavor of this place. Only came in for one taco but can't wait to give the rest a try in the near future.

    Spicy Shrimp Bowl
    Josie S.

    My first time buying Loqui even though I've been in Arts District for 6 years! It's definitely an elevated Chipotle not only by price but also by flavor! The Spicy Shrimp bowl is my fave! Don't forget to get the red achiote sauce- such an amazing sauce. This establishment is right under La Cha Cha and Wurstkuche. Parking is not the best, but if you do find some parking it's a really nice area to eat there. Food was delivered to our table relatively quickly and the associates were nice. I've gone twice now in two weeks this is addicting!!

    Birria bowl
    Estela V.

    A friend recommended I check this restaurant out for lunch so I did. It's located in the heart of the Art District and parking sucks per usual. The restaurant is small and clean with a cute vintage water fountain for self service. I personally don't like that there isn't a menu on the wall. There's one menu on green paper on a stand on a counter away from the cashier. I decided to order the Birria bowl which comes with whole pinto beans, steamed rice, guacamole and pickled onions. The concept is very much like Chipotle minus the items not being visible when you order. For my taste, the Birria lacked flavor and there wasn't much consome in the bowl so it seemed a little dry. It wasn't horrible, it was different from what I'm used to. I may come back one day to try other items and I'd encourage you to check them out. I think this restaurant has potential and it's pretty healthy.

    My first time at this Arts District Loqui location. Located in a great spot, and ordered the chicken bowl and the Jamaica drink, and it comes with a side of chips. The food tasted great, and there's indoor and outdoor seating. The staff were very friendly, and the food came out super fast. If youre in the Arts district area, swing by Loqui for some good tacos and bowls. Loqui is one of my favorite spots in LA~!!!

    Michelada - solid
    Steph H.

    STEPH JUDGEMENT: Like a fancy Chipotle. My friend and I were looking for a quick and relatively inexpensive lunch option in the area and decided to check this place out. It's fast-casual; you order at the counter and they bring out the food to you. We grabbed a couple of seats in their pleasant front patio, glad that we'd missed the lunch rush. I got their mushroom and shrimp tacos, which I thought were really great--delicious, and decently portioned for the price. Their rice and beans were just ok, but they did sit around for a while because the server forgot about them. Accompanied by a michelada and an order of chips and guac, it wasn't a cheap lunch, but overall a decent value for the area, and the service was friendly. I'd come back.

For for first timers, I'd recommend ordering the Villa's Trio which is what I got. Those come with the Ranchera Asada quesotaco as well as the Papas con Chorizo and Black Bean con Pollo quesotacos which are a trio exclusive. All the tacos were meaty, flavorful, and crispy. You honestly don't even need the side sauces since the tacos are already flavorful on their own. Great quality. I also got the Watermelon Agua Fresca which was refreshing, tasty, and sweet. Goes well with the tacos. I also got the Jamaica Agua Fresca, but that one was a bit too tart for my liking. The line can get long, so I would prepare to wait for up to an hour on weekends. There's ample free parking at the grocery store lot nearby. For seating and tables, it's limited and competitive. You just have to get lucky if a spot clears up as soon as you get your food. I also like how the restaurant handles crowd control. They allow a couple of people at a time to go inside, order, and get their condiments. You wait outside until they call you for your food. I like that it didn't feel crowded while I was getting my condiments. I highly recommend this spot and I will definitely be coming back.

Having been to so many taco stands, I think what makes Tire Shop Taqueria really stand out are the right-off-the-grill charcoal-grilled meats, the freshly made tortillas literally in front of you as you are waiting on line, and the free guacamole that comes with each taco. The ordering process is like any other taco stand, though one difference is here the salsas/guacamole are all handled by the staff. If you'd like more of something, just ask them instead of reaching for the ladle yourself. There is a separate area though for grilled onions/peppers and radishes you can serve yourself. I got the asada, chorizo, cabeza, and al pastor, and they were all so good. The asada and chorizo are specifically grilled over charcoal, and that flavor really shines through. I loved how meaty and tender the cabeza was too, and the classic al pastor hit the spot. They have large communal tables setup, so it is a great friendly vibe to enjoy your meal I will say, the surrounding area is not the best in LA, especially given how the taco stand is only open at night. The parking lot is quite small, so I parked on a side street that had some abandoned cars, but of course, if you are in/from LA, this is not that new for us. I would hesitate if I am a tourist though to make it out here. Anyhow, the food really is worth it here, and I can't wait to be back!

The tortillas tasted amazing, the quality was great, and I even recommended the place to friends. Then I found out the flour tortillas are made with pork lard. What makes this especially disappointing is that this is NOT clearly disclosed anywhere inside the restaurant. For people who are Jewish, Muslim, vegetarian, or simply do not eat pork for religious or personal reasons, this is a huge issue. I would have never ordered the flour tortillas had I known. I understand traditional recipes may use lard, but customers deserve transparency. There should either be: - a clearly visible disclosure in the restaurant and on the menu, or - a vegetarian/vegetable oil flour tortilla option available. It's honestly heartbreaking because the food itself was incredible, but finding this out after eating there several times made me feel sick and betrayed. This could easily be avoided with proper labeling and consideration for customers with dietary and religious restrictions. Really disappointed and will never return again unless they offer a non-pork flour option.
