Located inside a home kitchen in Watts you will find the best Palestinian food in Los Angeles. We…read morehave been here three times now and every time we start eating our food we immediately laugh and say to each other "this is so good." This last time in, we ordered the Rice bowl with falafel, the pita wrap with halal chicken, Zataar fries, mint lemonade and the karak chai. I don't know how to explain the taste of everything other than to say think of anything that you have tasted that was similar and just multiply that by 10 as far as freshness, flavor pop, texture, and cooking execution. The falafel was crisp on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside, not oily and not dry. The sauces were all so very well balanced. The Zataar on the fries was so fragrant, salty and flavorful and the fries were fresh out of the fryer, warm and crispy. The halal chicken had this smokey almost birria flavor. Very earthy and natural. Like nothing I have ever tasted. The drinks and dessert are all amazing. My mint lemonade had fresh mint and hint of floral orange blossom. So refreshing. The karak chai had cardamom, saffron, ginger and cloves. It was like going on a flavor rollercoaster in a good way. The husband and wife team could not be nicer to you. All smiles all the time. They came out multiple times to check on us and talk to us. We definitely felt welcomed like family. Such a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Just can't say enough about this place and how they run their business.

I got the falafel nachos with pita. The falafel was crunchy and moist inside with amazing flavor. The green sauce, omg I could drink it! The hummus (on the nachos) is smooth like silk and creamy af. I know this is a house/restaurant, and the seating area is so cute. It felt like being at a friend's house with the service. Please come and support this amazing vegan, halal, Palestinian restaurant!

I have never been disappointed in eating Xonxitas food. Their menu is always changing and some stay the same. Every time I see their pop up, I always purchase two or more things because everything I have gotten are good! The best memory I have from them was me making comments to either the owner or an employee that I remember getting something here that was really good but I don't remember what it was. The person's reply was, "Honey, everything here is good." HAHA! She is right! This time I had Carnitas, lentil/chorizo, and al pastor tacos, and the Jackfruit birria. My friend had their Jamaica agua fresca, lentil/chorizo taco, and the mulita. Everything was amazing. We both devoured everything we ate. If you ever see them at any event, I do recommend giving them a try! The Customer service is always great, food is always delicious, and the owner is very friendly.

My wife and I had been dying to try Xonxitas' birria tacos for the longest time and we finally had…read morea chance to give it a shot. I ordered the birria plate, which came with their vegan birria (made of jackfruit, I think), tortillas, and a side of rice and beans. First of all, the texture of the birria was spot on. I would have had a tough time discerning it from meat if I didn't know better. I have to admit, it was good but a little bland. It could have used a little more seasoning, which is why I couldn't give it the full 5 stars. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The vibe there was positive and upbeat. You could tell that they cared about their food and their customers. I was just a little disappointed that the food I ordered needed a tiny bit more seasoning. Then again, it was very busy when we visited, so it's possible that we got a less-than-perfect batch. It just gives me another reason for us to visit again, if you ask me! BTW, the line can get long very quickly. Make sure you get there early, or be ready to wait a little bit. It's worth it to give some support to this local business.

For May, TLC Coffee Co. was featured. This vendor had a cute setup and it was a sweet duo of mom and daughter. Ya'll already know lavender drinks are my thing of the moment so I had the iced honey lavender latte. I could not taste any honey but the lavender syrup, which is homemade, was good. The coffee beans, however, just didn't come through on this drink though, hence the three . So, for me it was just another latte lacking that sparkle I look for in my coffee. Glad I got the chance to try this vendor but I wouldn't seek them out at further events.

But they are stationed at LaChancla night market and there's so many delicious menu items to choose from. I ordered a Al Pastor burger with Parmesan garlic fries. The burger was so flavorful with the melted cheese and everything else they put in it, so was the fries very tasty. The service was just great friendly and courteous. My burger was humongous. The atmosphere is also great. There's usually live music to enjoy while spending time with your family eating delicious food. I'm looking forward to going back real soon.

These many people can only mean one thing, that the food is delicious! I loved their huge menu with food for anyone's tastes. As a Pescatarian it's hard to find salmon at Mediterranean food places and Green Olive had several plates to choose salmon and shrimp. I ordered their Salmon Kabob plate that came with yummy rice, a salad, hummus and a pita. It was served with a garlic white sauce and a green slightly spicy sauce. I drizzled both on the kabobs and rice and everything blended perfectly. The salmon was seasoned so well and was so tender! It was perfectly cooked because it retained the softness salmon needs. I also got a pistachio cheesecake that was so light and delicious without being overly sweet. It was a perfect ending to an amazing food plate. The ambiance had average loud noise level since it is small on the inside, however they have plenty of outdoor seating which is where we sat. Even though there are other Mediterranean places close to me, I can see myself going to this location because of their expansive menu.
