This is a hidden gem, the place can be a bit hard to find as it is in a corner, however the food here is delicious. We have been here a few times and the food never disappoints. Service is great, very nice person that works here. The place is really nicely decorated and very cozy, the only reason why I took a star out is due to their prices, they tend to be a bit pricey and just recently increased their prices. read more

Parking is a nightmare if the neighboring venue is hosting a party. However, the food and service outweighs the negative. The service, and quality and the presentation of the food is excellent. The servers are on top of it, checking up on us, and asking for refills. I enjoy coming here for their French toast, sandwiches, and pasta. read more

This place is pretty good. Not great and not bad. I thought it was a French restaurant but it's a fusion of Mexican, American breakfast, French and a bar. I had the bechamel (butter cheese) & French crepes (goat cheese with almond). They were good but a little expensive. Service was ok. Food is overall good but overpriced. read more

Big portions, very friendly staff and a wide menu. Inside feels like a fancy dive bar when the door is closed. I added chicken to the pesto panini. The chicken was very good quality but it would have been better if it were sliced in smaller pieces. Also the "fish tacos" are not traditional fish tacos. They are actually salmon tacos. read more

I came back to this cafe after a few months and was helped by the same cashier/server, Cloud. I asked for an iced coffee not too sweet, and he actually remembered my preference from last time and that really stood out to me. Cloud is super friendly, has a great memory, and is consistent with excellent customer service. Employees like Cloud are a big reason people come back. Management should definitely recognize and reward that level of care. Thanks again, Cloud!!! read more

Different name but the quality of the food and coffee remain the same. Nina's or now Cafecito de la Crepe is an absolute experience in the city of Bell. I don't know of many places in SELA that can serve a meal as delectable as their De La Mer Risotto but please do yourself a kindness and try it. Coffee is always strong here as well and made to brew. Service is always good and the restaurant has a beautiful outdoor and indoor ambiance. read more

Tamara and Cloud are one of the ones we always see here and they are both super friendly always! I love the ambiance there's always either really good music playing or just relaxing music with nice earthy backgrounds ! its always really clean and their set up with everything is so comfy! The ribs are so good and the bone literally just falls right off! The chicken Alfredo has so much flavor its amazing its hard to find a place that does good pasta's! The Béchamel crepe is my moms favorite and i can attest that it's so delicious the mushroom with the sauce isn't overpowering at all ! 10/10!! read more

If you have not tried this place you are definitely missing out. Let me break it down for you. Service- The very best. As soon as you step a foot in the restaurant door you best believe you will be acknowledge. The best and unique service is the fact that the owner David makes you feel at home. He makes sure that all his customers are very well service. He is the most humble person that takes the time to have a conversation with you. I can go on and on of how great they all are that we are regulars now. Food- served fresh, prices are decent and we love it. Ambience- quiet, hidden little place that makes you feel at home while having breakfast linch or dinner. Sundays theres live music to enjoy and you will just love this place. read more

So happy to have found this hidden gem as we were looking for a place to bring our friends from out of state. Cloud made our first time experience that more amazing. His service was the absolute best and always made sure we were all satisfied and happy. There were about 12 customers and Cloud was the only worker we seen and he was busting his butt off!

I have been a loyal customer of Nina's cafe for 10+ years. They had a small spot in Bell. About 4 tables inside & 2 outside. However, words started spreading of their delicious & fresh food, which now required a bigger location. This was Bell & fit approx. 12 tables inside & a small outdoor sitting. I am happy to say that they now have an even bigger location also in. Bell, CA. Same amazing taste, friendly & professional staff. With more to offer. Here, they serve alcohol!

However, I decided to give this café a try because East LA cafés are rare, and I wanted to support this particular business. I ordered a matcha, a coffee for my sister, and a few baked goods. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The matcha was poor quality, the coffee was mediocre, and the baked goods tasted like items from Ralphs or Costco. They seemed almost stale, were clearly not baked in-house, and lacked everything you'd expect from a baked item from a café. What was especially frustrating was that the matcha et al. is priced as if it were ceremonial grade, despite the quality being far below that standard. The bakery items are prepackaged products arranged to fit the café's aesthetic rather than freshly made offerings. The space itself is cute, and the woman who helped us was very kind. However, the quality of the food and drinks simply does not justify the prices.

I had been to the one in Laguna Niguel and this one in Little Tokyo is more spacious, with an area where you can eat. I bought an oyako pork shumai, curry pan and spicy curry pan. The shumai was like dumpling filling in a bun. My faves were the curry pan, which were super flavorful and vegetarian. The spicy curry one does have a kick (great for my husband), while I prefer the regular curry as I can't handle spice. Wish I had one closer to me!

Nina's is my go to place for breakfast when I'm in the area. Their steak omelette is one of the best I've yet had. Comes with a delicious side salad of mixed greens and spinach with some chunks of mango and strawberry. The potatoes are perfect and the toasted baguette is a welcome change from standard diner choices. Nothing compares to their steak omelette though. Soooooo tasty! I have also sampled some other stuff on the menu including lunch once and have yet to have experience any food other than delicious. The ambiance is very Latin with a heavy dose of French culture and little Italian feel. It is tastefully decorated with murals and a giant bouquet spelling out LOVE. Service has always been pleasant and quick, although naturally there can be gaps when they get crowded. Although I don't drink, there is also a fully stocked bar and I'm told the cocktails are worth ordering. Overall I love Nina's and hope you will too! read more

I recently visited Nina's Cafe & Bar in Bell, and it was a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The menu offered a diverse selection of dishes, and everything we ordered was delicious. The drinks menu was equally impressive, featuring a variety of creative cocktails and beverages. The staff at Nina's were friendly and attentive, providing excellent service throughout our visit. They made sure we had everything we needed and were happy to offer recommendations. Overall, Nina's Cafe & Bar is a wonderful spot for both food and drinks. I highly recommend it to anyone in the Bell area looking for a great dining experience. I can't wait to return! read more

We were really looking forward to enjoying this place, but we couldn't even enter the restaurant. I tugged on the door (I'm pretty strong) and it was locked. The parking situation is horrific, too. We decided to call the restaurant to check if they were open, and there was an answer! The woman that answered the phone seemed very inconvenienced and she claimed that the "door [was] not looked, just heavy." It was locked. There was definitely something blocking the door. I tugged and tugged on that door. She said that they were open for business but did not even offer to come help us get the door open. We are so disappointed. We were really excited about trying this place. read more

This French-style restaurant is a lovely spot with a cozy, inviting atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed family meal or a charming date night. The portions are well balanced, leaving you satisfied without feeling overwhelmed. The service is always top-notch, attentive without being intrusive. And the beverages? Absolutely awesome! a great selection that pairs beautifully with the food. Definitely a place worth returning to, they have free parking on the back and a seating patio area. read more

My husband and I stopped in on our way back home from out of town, and this was the cutest little cafe! They had lovely live music that was family friendly and the food was amazing, with a beyond reasonable price tag. We got a new drink, which was just as good as the rest of the food. We cant wait to come back next time we visit! read more

I would give this restaurant another chance because the food was good, but the service definitely needs improvement. They may also want to consider adding a few more brunch options to their brunch menu.

The owner, Ralph Verdugo, has created a great atmosphere, and it's clear that everyone takes pride in what they do. You can taste the care that goes into every meal. Elba and Fernando behind the bar are always friendly and provide outstanding service. My personal favorite is the fish tacos, they're fresh, flavorful, and the reason I keep coming back. The fries are also some of the best around, crispy, perfectly seasoned, and a great side with any meal. My kids love the fried shrimp and the cheeseburger, so there's something for everyone in the family. One of the things that really sets Buena Mesa apart is the entertainment. The live rock bands are the best and always put on a great show, making it a fun place to enjoy a meal, have a few drinks, and spend the evening with family and friends. If you're looking for a friendly neighborhood restaurant with amazing food, outstanding service, and top-notch live music, I highly recommend Buena Mesa. We'll definitely be back again and again!
