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.

Omg so good! And the portions, amaze!…read more Always on the hunt for good vegan food and this spot is popping. Friend of mine told me about a vegan spot in Watts so had to check it out. 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! PS they also have halal animal parts with the same flavors

They were quick to respond and gave me a link where I could place an order for pickup. They were very transparent about estimated time, in case you are ordering baked goods. My order was ready quickly on the same day with short notice. I ordered the Falafel Tacos and the Falafel Nachos. And they were both so amazing!! I will say that the Falafel Tacos were my favorite. I had been eating falafel these past few weeks and trying at home, and these by far have been my favorite eats!! Next time I would probably order three orders of the two falafel tacos to split among my partner and I. I will be wanting to try their Spinach Fatayer or their Manakeesh. I do wish I ordered more, because i don't think i will be able to find such good tasting food unless I come back. They also offered us the option to eat at their home restaurant, which I would gladly do next time if I weren't in a rush. I will have to try their private dining experience, this food was amazing and Sumer & Andy were extremely nice and pleasant to be around.

After seeing them on my social media feed for a couple weeks, I finally drove out to try Mid East…read moreEats for myself and was blown away. Definitely one of the best falafel meals I've had in LA. The falafel was perfectly crispy on the outside but not at all dry. And those fried pita chips? oooof! Love that everything is vegan, so no sacrificing/omitting of ingredients was needed. Ask for it spicy with all the extras if you're a real one. The owner Sumer was super sweet and welcoming. She took the time to explain the menu items + ingredients and answer any questions we had. Will definitely be back!

Let me tell you, I'm real picky when it comes to mac & cheese, and this was killer! The baked beans were awesome too. Full of flavor.

So far I've had Xonxitas in at least three events. First times were at several LatinX events, other…read moretimes were at LB meatless Mondays, and the most recent was the Vegan Depot IE. 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. There's indoor and outside dining. There is plenty of parking with handicap stalls and ramps to help those who are not as able.

I don't know why I took so long to try Noon since it's walking distance from me!…read more I know we have a lot of options when it comes to treats in the South Bay Area but Korean bingsoo is in a class of its own. For me, regular shaved ice usually lacks enough syrup or the ice is too hard. I'm such a wuss, I know, but I hate feeling like I overpaid for a cup of ice. It has been brutally hot and today seemed like a great day to have some shaved ice. The cafe is located in a Korean plaza on Western and 154th. Smoking Tiger coffee is also in the same plaza. The cafe is on the smaller side but there's lots of seating and you can take your orders to go if you want. It's cashless and you take your tray and trash to the counter once you're done. The menu has everything from fruity flavors to Asian flavors like hojicha and injeolmi to Cinnamon Toast crunch. You can get an individual size or larger size to share. The interior is minimalist with vintage-looking posters of the business. They have WiFi and complimentary water. We ordered matcha and mango flavored bingsoo. Both had a tall pile of ice with ample toppings and more syrup layered inside the ice which I think is an important very often overlooked step. I can't wait to return to try out more flavors!

Would have given another star if service wasn't so slow…read moreTheir rate limiting step is their ability to shave the ice - which makes it tough for large groups waiting for their orders because your bowl starts to deflate when it melts Price for a single is a bit high. Would recommend sharing and ordering a large which could easily feed 2-4 people for only double the price of a small single serving Have to admit that this is a less decadent dessert than ice cream The ice is so soft and light. Fruit bowls are not just topped as a garnish but filled in the center with plenty of fruit too for a surprise treat Flavors are fresh Each bowl has a unique combo Black sesame bowl was topped with red bean and a crispy rice cake Sit powder bowl had mochi pieces throughout There are seat S both inside and outside Maybe they should have better A/C to keep the bowls from melting so fast
