Chilaquiles verdes.
Rosa O.

This is a small family business that is a gem. When you arrive, you're always greeted with a smile. I've always had a pleasant experience here regardless of the time. Ive dined in and ordered togo many times a month. Their food is made fresh. Their salsa verde is always a satisfying spice whether it's on the chilaquiles or on the side with a torta de asada. They always had a special for their pan dulces--buy 3 and get it at a reduced price. Goes great with their cafe de olla! I believe it's worth it. When you dine in, order at the counter and they will serve you. Service is always attentive, sincere, and warm. It is spacious, so it will accommodate a big family gathering. It's also a nice space that welcomes single and small groups for a quick lunch--perfect for all.

Was in the area and stumbled upon this awesome home-bakery! This Mexican & Guatemalan inspired bakery was such a perfect treat for the day! Aesthetics & Ambiance: 8/10 the ambiance is quiet and low key and the aesthetic feels like you walked into your childhood bakery. Service: 9/10 everyone was so kind, and walked me through each item so I knew what the flavors were. They also brought complimentary chips and dip with was a nice touch. I'm not entirely sure the name of each item, but... The sugar & vanilla cream bread: 7.5/10 was a bit sweet but the vanilla cream was perfect! The bread topped with cream and sugar: 6.5/10 it was good, but the bread being so tall with it only on one side left the bread a bit dry. The strawberry & cream pastry: 7/10 was really good, the bread does get a little tough. Get it warmed up before and it's amazing!! They have many other amazing pastries to try!

Pupusas
Norma S.

Came here on a Saturday around 4pm. Parking lot available. Plenty seating inside. Friendly service they had some music playing. Ordered the pupusas revueltas they were big and flavorful. The jugo de papaya and mango were freshly done. The pickled onions topping was really good. Only thing the table could've been cleaned a bit more throughly. And metal utensils. All in all good for price to taste was worth it!

Panadería plus a restaurant all in one. They also have natural juices, smoothies, aguas frescas and coffee beverages. They have a pupusas special on Wednesday: 6 pupusas for $19.99. They offer menudo daily and lots of yummy desert options too. They have a fairly large seating/dining with AC with clean restrooms and lots of front parking. (That can be an issue with a lot of LBC establishments and super inconvenient when you want to go to eat but can't find parking). Definitely recommend and would come back!

Molletes
Kristina F.

This Marilu's location (versus the OG one down a few blocks on Cherry) was less panaderia and more little cafe with an amalgamation of home-style Guatemalan, Salvadorian, and Mexican fare. My husband and teen ordered pupusas, which were piping hot and freshly made, with a generous amounts of filling (especially the frijoles). Their curtido was tangy and they had this awesome chile to spice it up along with the standard salsa roja. I ordered the molletes, fresh bolillo split and slathered with beans and a healthy sprinkling of white cheese melted on top. It was simple, delicious, and super filling. We got my toddler a licuado de platano. They must have known it was going to be for him because they mixed in some choco milk powder in too. It was SO much for the cost. I'd go back just for that.

pupusa revuelta & chicharron con queso!
Brianna S.

I had an amazing experience here! The revuelta and chicharrón con queso pupusas were absolutely delicious--soft, flavorful, and packed generously with filling. You can really taste the quality and care in each bite. The curtido (pickled cabbage salad) and salsa that come on the side were just as impressive--fresh, tangy, and served so you can top your pupusas just the way you like them. As soon as we sat down, we were greeted with a complimentary soup and warm bread, which was such a comforting and thoughtful touch. The entire meal felt like home. To top it off, the cashier/waitress was incredibly friendly, sweet, and polite. She made sure we had everything we needed, was very accommodating, and made the whole experience feel welcoming and relaxed. Highly recommend this place especially for pupusa Tuesday where each one is 3.25!--authentic flavors, great service, and generous portions. I'll definitely be coming back for $21!

Great bakery! Some kind of amazing strawberry roll with coconut on the outside and a solid cup of coffee. Good service and chill ambiance.

Watermelon water
Skarleth C.

Honestly, this location has the best pupusas ever! Whether you're dining in or taking your order to go, the quality is always great. One of the perks of eating in is that you get to enjoy their complimentary veggie soup. The ambiance is nice, and the staff are very attentive. I do recommend ordering ahead if you're picking up especially on Tuesdays!

Picamas Salsa Brava
Dustin B.

The chilaquiles plate looked too big so I ordered a torta version. I asked if it was spicy and the lady said a little. She was right. It was just spicy enough for me. The griddled torta bread was super fresh. The chips were lightly sauced and placed on the bread with black bean spread, mayo, and crumbled fresh cheese. Before it arrived someone popped out and asked if I wanted onion on it and I said yes but no onions were in the sandwich so I blame my poor Spanish. The red sauce on the chips was pretty basic with a strange bitter aftertaste. Maybe it's more Guatemalan or Salvadorean than Mexican. I'm used to richer warm red sauces. All in all I like the place and people and want to try other dishes but wouldn't order this torta again.

Wonderful people! I love their baked goods, my new all time favorites! Gives very friendly family vibes too, feels just like I'm greeted as family.

This place deserves all the hype and then some. It's clean, they're friendly, and the bread is some…read moreof the most delicious bread I have ever had in my entire life. Just the textures are absolutely craveable (I type as I pick out fallen sesame seeds from my bolillo off of my sweater). Came in early on a midweek morning and the line was starting to form as I was leaving. Everything behind the glass looked good, I had already decided to grab a couple of bolillos to bring home but the Nixtamal Queen spoke to me. She came along too. Nixtamal Queen - What even is this magic. Crispy and carmelized sweet on the outside, super soft and chewy on the inside. Eaten fresh and still warm, this was hands down one of the best pastries I have ever had. Bolillo - Little bits of jalapeno and cheese folded into soft, chewy sourdough layers. It was nice and crunchy on the outside and heavenly on the inside. The toasted cheese and sesame seeds on the top were the perfect bit of texture. I had originally bought these with the intention of making a sandwich but I ended up eating the whole roll standalone. It was that good. If only there were better parking, but maybe that's for the best.

I finally had the chance to try this place only because it was a semifinalst for James Beard…read more The staff was really nice. Parking can be a little tough to find. The pastries don't have prices listed so I was pretty shocked when 3 pastries cost $19. I understand small businesses have to charge a premium to stay open. I ordered a Oreja, Dona and chocolate pan. It was just ok. The Dona had no distinct flavor to it. Just plain dough pastry with almonds on top. Was not worth the $9.50. I'm glad I tried this place but I probably won't be back.

The decor is cozy and chic, and I like that they kept it spacious instead of cramming a ton of tables and chairs in. I especially loved the little table lamps! Our server was very nice and helpful when we had questions. Caesar salad: I LOVED this. Perfect balance of flavors with perfect crunch. Word of warning is that it is anchovy heavy (including anchovy filets on top), so if you like to pretend the anchovy aspect of Caesar salads doesn't exist, this might not be for you! Roasted chicken: Loved the crunch on this too, and the salad and polenta were nice additions. I think the polenta was my favorite part of this dish lol. Kale pistou pizza (asked for no onions): My least favorite dish. We didn't realize it was vegan but as someone who generally likes vegan food, it just lacked flavor and felt very dry overall. The sourdough crust was good, at least. Peach mess dessert: Omg, the star of the show! Such an amazing dessert top to bottom, I loved the mix of textures and flavors. I could eat this every day! I probably would've given this 4 stars due to the pizza being that bland, but the dessert really elevated this whole meal. Can't wait to see all their different menus throughout the seasons! I hope they add a happy hour soon and I hope to see the return of their patio at some point!

The menu features more breakfast items; however, I miss their Turkey and Brie sandwich that they used to offer here. Nevertheless, their BLT is as good as a BLT can be. With a BLT, to make it outstanding, you have to have outstanding ingredients, and they absolutely achieve that with their house made, butter-toasted country bread, heirloom tomato, butter lettuce, house-made thyme mayo, and a generous helping of bacon. The space is also very roomy and, now that they have table service, it offers a great breakfast experience. I do want to come back for their french omelette cooked over butter. Sounds like they also have pizza for dinner. Cost of lattes cost over $8, but their syrups are made in house. My wife liked her midsommar latte, which had espresso, milk, caramel syrup, and a foam topped with bee pollen. Pastries run from $5 to $8 and I prefer their savory offerings; however, their house-made breads are noteworthy here. Don't hesitate to pick up a sandwich or loaf here.

All of the women that work there are freakin PHENOMENAL! I love them SO SO SO MUCH.

I am obsessed with it. I honestly think it's better than Portos too. Of course their empanadas are good! They bake them now, BUT if you ask they can fry them (it would just take longer). I also really love their chicken square pie. Sometimes I get their "Savory Box" so I can get all 3 of my favorites! Definitely worth it. Their burger is good, a little expensive but I still buy it from time to time for the convenience. Everyone says the cuban sandwich is the BEST (i have yet to try it. I usually stick to what i get as you can see) They have a new Fall Menu right now, I am obsessed with the pork & apple sandwich. The meat could be more tender, but I keep ordering it because I still love it so much. I am going to be devastated when they take it off the menu. They have a whole lot of sweets! Unfortunately I have not tried any, I do not like sweets (weird .. i know) but my coworkers and partner have! The cookies are top tier, their new flan (consistency not like traditional flan) is good, guava cheesecake was amazing, etc. There is not MUCH seating, especially on their busy days but they always play really good music.

I will say it's one of the best Chicken Fried Steaks that I've ever had. Also one of the best Cinnamon Rolls I've had all year. Inside is quite large and has many different seating options from counter, to booth, to table, to outdoor. We chose to sit at the counter and the only issue we had was that no one came to take our order or bring us water for about 10+ minutes. After that, though, our server was very polite and everything came out fast after that. They don't have a dedicated parking lot, but it was easy for us to find free street parking close by. The menu is very large, and one thing that we noticed was how popular their bakery items were. Their pie and cake slices were flying off the shelves, in slice and whole form. We must've saw over two dozen cake orders happen in just a short time we were there. I started off the meal with the Cinnamon Roll, and it was giant and delicious. I really liked the glaze on it and enjoyed every bite. I wish they would not add raisins, that would be my only request, but still it was very nice. I followed that with a Country Fried Steak and honestly thought it was incredible. It was one of the best that I've had ever, and I think it was due to the quality of the meat and the breading. The steak was juicy and every part about it was just great. The hashbrowns were also extra crispy and the combo was just perfect. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and will say that it's the best Chicken Fried Steak in Los Angeles county.
