If you happen to come across this food truck they're absolutely worth trying. Very good quality food.

They have the trucks but I believe this is now used for private events. I ordered two vanilla lattes with oat milk and an 8 piece mini beignets. Chef Asia brought one latte and we though perhaps they'll bring the second shortly but it never came so we approached the counter and they quickly prepared the 2nd apologized for the wait and asked if we would like a 2nd order of beignets of course we said yes because they were sooooooo yummy. These literally melt in your mouth like warm edible fluffy pillows with powdered sugar. Chef Asia personally brought the 2nd order, she was very friendly!!! If you plan on visiting get the big beignets for a smaller count unless you have just a small appetite I would go for the 8 pc mini count. ENJOY!! 12265 Ventura Blvd Studio City, CA 91604

Basically, it's fried donuts in the shape of approx. 3x3x1 inches, with two options of regular powder sugar or cinnamon sugar coating. Packed in a simple white paper lunch bag. Super hot upon delivery, and the powder sugar can get all over the place while eating, so enjoy carefully. Our favorite is still the Beignet from Disneyland, no where else we've tried can compare so far, so this is decent enough, but still not quite close. They do offer chicory coffee & cocoa. Simple menu and a novelty food truck. Good for a quick snack. Man, makes me want to return to Disneyland just for their Beignets...

Huge red flag But here I was trying them out. Got Al Pastor tacos and some queso tacos. All tasted too salty and stale and needed a lot of sauce and sour cream to fix. Sour cream in itself tasted bad, so I needed a lot of soda to fix that taste. Service was fast, but then again, it was empty. Left feeling disappointed and feeling like a huge letdown Plus, it is surrounded by a lot of homeless people, which is also another red flag.

Sooo bomb! If you want authentic fresh mariscos de Mazatlán, then this is the place! They have quality seafood and prepped to perfection. I did not have to adjust the seasoning to my dish. It was perfect as is. La campechana, que no se diga. This place is so addicting! If you've never tried seafood before and you would like to, I recommend this place. They have raw and cooked options and will also adjust the spice level to your liking. read more

This place was nearby, and I'm really glad we gave it a try. Everything tasted fresh and was really good. We ordered the campechana, a shrimp w/mango, and salsa negra tostada, and both were bomb. The salsa they brought to the table was spicy as hell, in the best way, and the michelada was made well. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the service. Since it was our first time, we walked in and no one greeted us, so we weren't sure if we should seat ourselves or order at the counter. We eventually went to the register, and the server who helped us was nice enough, but after our food came out, no one checked on us again. I probably would've ordered another drink or more food if someone had come back. Overall, though, we'd definitely come back if we lived in the area. The food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely worth trying.
