Carne Asada Tacos
An C.

Lovely staff! Good tacos with lots of protein. I loved the pickled radishes, cucumbers, and carrots.

This is such a good, casual lunch spot! Affordable prices and great deals on food! It's been in the area for forever, so don't expect it to be modern or anything, it's super whole in the wall. Love the burritos and tortas, and I really need to try those juices and smoothies. I always take my food to go, as it's pretty tiny and it fills up fast during lunch time. Also I think it says cash only online, but I've definitely paid with card before.

I stopped by after a bike ride and got a LARGE green juice of spinach, orange, and pineapple for $3.55!! What inflation!? Super refreshing and not too sweet!

the quesadilla before its untimely demise
Adrian L.

i had a long, feet-straining day at Los Callejones and all I wanted at the end of the day was a good quesadilla. Placita Cafe provided. don't let the quaint cubicle-sized restaurant fool you. they do not disappoint. welcoming and succinct, generous and affable, they handed us our food at breakneck speed, without disparaging the quality. the quesadilla was good. the place was good.

Torta de Asada

This is my usual Mexican spot to go to for lunch since it is walking distance. The food is great and the ladies are very kind. I recommend the tortas and wet burritos

My friend who's a Vegan suggested we go to this place after our run/hike at Elysian Park as it's so…read moreclose by. She raved about them having so many wonderful options so I was very curious to try. DRINK There were so many great options I was overwhelmed, but luckily their workers were so happy to help in my selection. I chatted with Bree about my fitness goals and how I was toning/ cutting weight and she made some suggestions. When I asked her what her favorite was she said she liked the Sensual Vibes smoothie. I like the sound of it from the ingredients, and she suggested adding ginger. It was SOOOOOOOO delicious. I will DEFINITELY be going back to try out another smoothie. SERVICE Bree was so very helpful. I told her my goals and that I'd just done a workout and she gave me her recommendations...she also told me her favorite a suggest I add ginger to what I was thinking about. AMBIANCE It was a chill environment but also family friendly. There were some people there with their kids enjoying the place. Also this place is dog friendly. They even had an organic treat for my dog niece Wawa to enjoy!

A good spot with a good healthy food. Located in a cozy area…read moreof echo park. They serve your order fresh... lots of options depends on your focus - whether for immunity, for liver detox , anti inflammatory, energy , metal detox. Staff were friendly, ready to assist and welcoming. We love their BLT, twas a delight! Has a good sauce, and a good portion . We also tried their OG avocado... rich portion of avocado and tomatoes. The only thing challenging is the parking. It's better to go early and avoid weekends, unless it's ok for you to wait and look around for a parking space. It was worth the try for this spot, good heathy yummy food and juices, affordable as well. Would definitely comeback and try the other delis and croissants.

Super small, trendy breakfast spot in Echo Park! Had breakfast with my best friend and we both…read moreenjoyed it! It's walking distance from a lot of cool spots like the lake. We met up on a Friday morning right when they opened and had no trouble finding parking in the lot behind. You did have to pay but it was cheap by LA standards. Not very many people since we came around opening, very chill vibe. Friendly staff and lots of great menu items. There is no bathroom in the restaurant! Chairs are just stools so not the comfiest place to chill but we spent a while just chatting and eating. Prices are kinda up there for the portion but it's trendy healthy LA food, so it was expected. I ordered the miso bowl and it was yummy and refreshing! The way it was served did confuse me though just because there was a scoop of hot rice and cold chicken and the veggies had no dressing. Are you supposed to mix it all up like a salad even though the rice is hot or are you supposed to eat it like a rice bowl? Idk it was odd. It wasn't till I finished most of the rice that I just mixed the everything together and it was better, like a salad. The cold chicken and hot rice really just threw me. But the miso dressing was delicious nonetheless! 4/5 Overall, I enjoyed this place but probs wouldn't go out of my way to have it again. But I am glad I tried it and it did fulfill what I needed: a chill place to catch up with my friend and refreshing food.

Honey Hi is a pleasant spot with great energy and a tasty selection of healthy breakfast…read morebowls/greens. I ordered the Community Bowl, which is a selection of greens/beans/grains with a really flavorful and complex vinaigrette. It's called the Community Bowl because a portion of the proceeds from this bowl goes to a nonprofit in the community. My biggest problem (and the reason for the 3 star review) was that the Community Bowl was simply not filling. It was tasty and healthy. But I paid $20+ (including tax and tip) for a breakfast bowl that wasn't satiating. And to be honest, I just really don't like the fact that a bowl named after the community could leave you still hungry.

Basically, they're like a specialty fruit cart (think those fruteria carts/stands that you can find…read moreall around LA) combined with a juice/agua fresca bar, and danger dog dispensary all in one. Signage may or may not be around (as of writing, no posters or anything with their name was displayed). They're currently across the street from Yang Chow, in front of the Broadway Jewelry Mart. Hours here are a bit varied, as of writing they work 9 AM-4PM on weekdays and until 4:30 on the weekends (whether the "weekend" is Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday, I'm not wholly sure). Everyone comes here for the juices and fruit. The line moves fairly fast but the fruit is largely cut to order, so be prepared to wait a bit. They sell pure, freshly squeezed orange juice (no sugar or water added) and some agua frescas including passionfruit and jamaica/hibiscus. The menu seems to change. Most importantly, they sell young jackfruit and you can watch the fruit being de-seeded before your very eyes. Has Saigon Deli, a few feet away from them been doing this for awhile? Sure. But go there for their bahn mi or their sugarcane juice or to pick up a quick snack like a cha gio or goi cuon. The jackfruit here can be mixed with chamoy and Tajin along with any other fruits you want. Unlike other fruit stands, they also have apples and grapes. Of course, mango and pepino/cucumber are available if you want. I got a mixed fruit ("whatever you want") cup with jackfruit and mango. That cost me $7 and I got a pretty big cup. A good amount of semi-firm jackfruit (tastes kind of like pineapple-mango) and mango (pretty sure I got a whole mango and half of another) with layers of chamoy and Tajin in between and on top make a nice snack/dessert. I opted for the passion fruit agua fresca, as the nice pink one wasn't sandia/watermelon but pink lemonade. $4 for a small, $5 for a large. I got a small. It's full of pulp, seeds, and lots of passion fruit flavor. Along the block by them are a few other fruit vendors including at least one other that's trying to capitalize on the jackfruit popularity. Didn't see the Tajin or chamoy, though. I also wasn't looking hard. It's almost surprising this place has no reviews. There's always a small crowd by them. I suppose the name doesn't help, nor the fact they apparently went by a different name (The Orange Tree) and the truck they used had "Kobe's Produce" emblazoned on the side. Despite their seeming lack of presence, they do have an Instagram and Facebook page.

i don't even think i need to type anything…read more just try it - they let you taste test. purple drank, yellow drank, half and half yin yang. fruits are delicious quality grade a++++++++ recommend a loooot and i mean a loooooooot
