Poquito Mas has been a staple for my family for decades! We have been loyal fans since they opened their very first location in Studio City, and it remains one of our absolute favorite spots for a reliable, fresh meal at a fair price! Last year, we discovered the new Sherman Oaks location, which is a strong contender for being their best yet -- however, there is one persistent issue at this specific location that desperately needs to be addressed: THE PARKING! The staff is great and the food never misses, but finding a parking spot at the Sherman Oaks location is a serious pain in the ass because of CorePower Yoga next door, which seems to completely ignore the POQUITO MAS PARKING signs and occupy almost every available space, effectively "stealing" the parking intended for restaurant patrons. It's a frustrating hurdle to clear just to get through the front door. You either end up fighting for a meter or circling the block and parking all the way up Colbath in the residential area just to get your burrito fix! This obstacle has to be costing Poquito business! ​If the owners would actually do something to enforce the parking situation and ensure spaces are available for their customers... this location would be perfect. Please fix this and start towing their asses! read more

I walked in today around 11:45am and was helped by Edgar & Hilda. Both great humans. Helpful and kind. Also, sweet smiles on both of their faces. I ordered their Petito Tacos one with steak and the other with chicken. Both with flour tortillas. Food tasted very fresh and delicious. Since the portion was a bit small, I also opted for Petito beef, beans, & cheese burrito. Also very fresh, hot and delicious. Chips were crunchy, crisp and not oily at all. Food was not salty like some other restaurants. They have a great Salsa Bar and variety of salsas to choose from. The food & service along with the ambiance has always been spot on and consistent. I have been to the Studio City location couple of times, but 2nd time in this Sherman Oaks location. Has parking, restrooms, and outside seating. Restaurant was clean and will definitely be back next time I happen to be in Sherman Oaks. Catering, delivery, pick up, 3rd parties all available at this location. Thank you all! Established in 1984 & I believe they have more than 4 locations nation wide. read more

Poquito Más - Mexican Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

We were talking a stroll down Ventura & decided to stop by for lunch since it smelled so good from outside. We walked in and the restaurant was clean, had ambient lighting but we were a bit confused because it looks like a sit down restaurant but you have to walk up to the counter to order. Their menu has a lot of items that are categorized by "classic & mucho mas" Nonetheless, we order our food and sit down at an empty booth. Our order came out to $70 which isn't crazy in this economy considering inflation -- but what we weren't expecting is that the plates wouldn't come with rice or beans. We ordered: a steak burrito (mucho mas), 2 orders of (2) steak tacos, & a chicken burrito (mojado style) & 3 horchatas. As a latina, I was disappointed with the lack of seasoning in the food. The chicken was very dry & the steak bland. The tortilla is too thick and makes the burritos look fuller than they are. I was also surprised we were offered plastic utensils considering the "vibe" & price of the restaurant. I would say that this is not authentic mexican food but it is a fusion of sorts. Overall, the service was pleasant & the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. However the food was lacking. I felt robbed at the idea of paying that much. We could have gone to King Taco with much less. Everyone has different tastes & opinions so I wouldn't tell anyone to steer clear of this place; just to be aware that it's inauthentic & overpriced. read more

Tortillas a Mano super Ricas. Definitely loved the carnitas taco. not to salty definitely tasty. The steak burrito was thick big and juicy with everything on it beans cheese pico de gallo and rice. Super delicious. The salsas has a nice spice. Service was fast. And the ambiance was cool relaxing. read more

Poquito Más - Mexican Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Originally opened in 1984 in Studio City, Poquito Más has become a SoCal staple. This Sherman Oaks location is the 4th installment of the family run chain. Currently there are seven stores throughout LA, with six being within 20 miles of each other. I have been eating Poquito Más since the 90's, and it has always been a good product. The petito menu items are great. They're just enough to fill you up, but not stuff you. The petito chicken and steak taco size are perfecto! Also good is the petito bean & cheese burrito. Everything is advertised as fresh, and the salsa bar is loaded. Poquito Más has always been good and the different locations I've been to seem to be consistent. I don't think you can go wrong with Poquito Más. read more

Sherman Oaks location has a large indoor seating area as well as a medium outdoor area. Both spaces are nice and clean. The staff is always nice and friendly. They do their best to get the food out to you as soon as possible. The food is yummy and fresh. The best part is definitely the fresh made flour tortillas. We love to seat at the counter to watch them make the tortillas. The have a good selection of salsa's to choose from depending the spice level. The only downside side for me, is that the restrooms are locked and you need to ask for a code to use them. I can understand why they might want to do that, but it in the long run it's just a hassle for the customer. read more

Poquito Más - The interior - Mexican Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

As a valley girl I think I've been to every poquito mas location and they've all been very consistent food wise. I love this location a little bit more than my local studio city location only because there's more seating and I can usually find parking. The staff has always been very welcoming and super attentive. Everything is delicious and they're on top of their salsa bar. I highly recommend! Also I'm joking in my video...I'm not famous haha! read more

The parking is tricky if you can't find any on the lot. When you walk in you see the The seating area is a pretty good size. The customer service was good. The ambience was exactly what it should be. I ordered the burrito and it was fine. My friend ordered tacos. We arrived at 6:30 on a Friday evening. The bathrooms were okay There are quite a few of these around the Los Angeles area. They are also pretty solid. I have been coming to Poquito Mas since the late 80's. Back then this was the new concept and it was popular! It has held its own. I did feel the food was toned down. Not as tasty as I recall but the salsa bar is a huge help. Make ANY Poquito Mas a regular stop. read more

The mucho mas chicken burrito is a go-to and would be for anyone who is a fan of great burrito's!! Only downside was not enough chips on the side to try all the excellent salsa's!!! My bad, order more!!! read more

Love Poquito Mas!! I've been going since their first store on Cahuenga in the early 80's. The Sherman Oaks store is super close to where I live so this is the one I go to. Service and food is always great. Shout out to Edgar (who I've known since the 80's) and to Hilda who always takes such good care of me!!!! read more

We have ordered many times and never had issues. The last two orders they labeled our food wrong. TWICE!! He likes his burrito whole, I like mine cut in two, which I put in the notes. Twice they didn't do that. The chicken burrito was barely filled with meat. He was pulling off empty tortilla on the side and the top. Both burritos were on the soggy side. Not crispy like they used to be. They have not been paying attention to details lately. Sad. We will have to go to Sharky's instead. read more

We've always loved Poquito Mas and love the wide selection of Mexican dishes. The ingredients are fresh and very tasty. The salsa is great and they make their own tortillas in house. We often try different locations depending on where we are. We wish they would open another one in Conejo Valley area. read more

Food was good flavor wise but... I paid extra $$ to add steak in my chicken burrito which they charged me for but there was NO steak. 2nd consecutive time this happened, tbh this last time was just a test, & they failed. I'll be going someplace else from now on. Don't order extra stuff, you won't get it but they will charge you for it for sure read more

Customers need to compare apples to apples. No, Poquito Más is not my favorite restaurant. To deserve five stars from me, it doesn't have to be. It just has to do what it does, and do it right. Between this location and the one in Encino, my family and I have been to Poquito Más dozens of times since 2015. I give the Sherman Oaks location the edge as the restaurant space itself has a slightly more pleasant layout. A few nights ago, after a busy day filled with kids' soccer practice and homework, my wife and I found ourselves too tired to cook. When she asked what we should do for dinner, I suggested "Poquito Más?" and she immediately agreed. Why? It's easy, low-key, and kid-friendly. You aren't expecting an intimate dinner for two, but rather a good value with tasty food. Poquito Más doesn't disappoint in these areas. I've seen plenty of reviews nitpicking about service and other minor details. I think these people have unrealistic expectations for a counter-service Mexican restaurant. The staff is always very nice, and they offer bottomless tortilla chips while you wait for your meal if you ask. They were very sweet to my seven-year-old when she asked for a basket of warm chips, and I felt completely comfortable watching their interaction. I don't want to dismiss anyone's legitimate experience, but the idea that the staff here makes customers feel uncomfortable just doesn't resonate with me. Are you sure you're reviewing the same place? After dozens of visits, I've never had an unpleasant experience with a staff member at Poquito Más. That said, the food can take a while. Counter ordering might make you think it will be fast food, but it's not. It can take as long as a full-service restaurant because the food is prepared to order. In the end, it's worth the wait as the food is invariably hot and delicious. Plus, the self-serve salsa bar gives me time to settle in and catch up with my family from a busy day. My wife loves the cheese enchiladas plate, my vegetarian kids enjoy the bean and cheese burritos, and I, a pescatarian, love the ahi tuna taco plate. My wife prefers the pinto beans, while I favor the black beans, but you can't go wrong either way. The fact that they offer a choice is something I love. You can rest easy choosing Poquito Más for your family's casual dining experience. It isn't Casa Vega, El Coyote, El Compadre, or Ernie's, but the food is quality, fresh, tasty, and I never regret coming. read more

There are at least 4 Poquito Mas locations on Ventura Blvd., so if you're meeting someone, make sure you ask what city it's in. Food is decent, portions are fair to their price but there really isn't much to this chain. I'm guessing if you want convenience and quick meal this is an easy choice. To me, it's not any better than a fast food Mexican place like Baja Fresh or Taco Bell (I actually prefer Taco Bell) The place itself is nice and they have their own parking lot which is always a plus. read more

Great customer service! The menu is pretty big so take your time ordering because there's so many good options I tried the Santa Fe shrimp platter and the shrimp tostado salad, both delicious. If you're used to softer crispy tostado bowls then maybe this isn't the place for it. Salsa bar access and comfy seating area. I wish they made homemade aqua Fresca but nonetheless still a good spot for lunch. Small parking lot. read more

It has potential & I may consider visiting other locations. It was very cute on the inside and seemed to have fresh ingredients etc. However I'm clearly a red head girl & I found long strains of black hair in my shrimp burrito & upon trying to ask for my money back because honestly I felt grossed out. . the waitress acknowledged the problem seen it and threw the hairs away. When I got to the register they asked the problem and I told them and they asked me where the hair was. COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR EMPLOYEES LOVE.?! Mind you we ordered other things and only asked for the money back on the one burrito. Finally they did give it back but just made it seem weird & like a big deal when really I just wanted to be low-key - although I could have made a scene. That's not me. The burrito was also MAD GREASY. read more

Wow. Gone down hill! Order from Uber Eats. I swear the salsa you're to be $6 for a 6 oz. Now it's only 4 oz. I paid $7 for a bag of chips that were the size of a frito snack bag. What the?!?! The Nature burrito is still good. But $42 I'm upset I wasted my money. read more

This restaurant down the street is not my go to, nor have I been to it often. But friends LOVE it. Even friends from out of town who visit and request to go as soon as they get here. My son loves it. So this is where we picked up our takeout dinner last night. My expectations were moderate because I thought of it as fast food. But I was really surprised. It wasn't super fast (15 min or so) and it didn't look or taste like fast food. My chicken tostada was HUGE and fresh. Delicious, crispy flour shell that I actually ate, black beans, grilled cubes of chicken, lettuce, tomato, sour cream and guac. I used up all of the 3 salsas they included because they were GOOD. Note to self: next time ask for more salsa. My son got a chicken burritos MUCHO MAS (a little bigger) and it was substantial. All of the food was FRESH. Came with chips which we devoured. I could only get through half of the tostada. Bonus: it's affordable. About $12 -15 per meal. I get it now. Fresh, delicious, flavorful, affordable. A new neighborhood gem. read more

Poquito Más - chicken tostada - Mexican Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

I have been going to Poquito Mas for years and it's still my favorite for quick Mexican Food to go. The menu includes carnitas, chicken, steak, shrimp and plenty of vegetarian options. This location has only been here for a few years but it's easy to get to and has plenty of parking in the lot as well as on the local streets. It's next to Core Power Yoga. The inside is very clean and roomy if you want to eat here. They also have an outdoor patio in the back. The food is always cooked to order and fresh. They never get our order wrong which is a huge plus! *Since Covid you can no longer get your own side salsas. **Make sure to ask for extra Pico de Gallo when you pick up your order. (Sometimes they do not give you any! Which is a bummer to get home and find it missing:( It's my fav! read more

Great food at great prices. The staff is friendly and the place is always clean. I go here at least once a week

My all time favorite Mexican food in LA. Home made tortillas. Great ingredients. They bring your food to your table.

I really wanted to give this place a second shot after my first disappointing experience last summer. The first time I had their fish taco entree, I took 2 bites and shoved the rest into the fridge hoping to eat it later but it ended up in the trash because it was not worth me polluting my body for. My girlfriend loves this place and it makes me question if her tastebuds still function sometimes. She hasn't been in the area in a while so I gave in and said "okayyyy, maybe I'll try something different and it'll be better!" You know, sometimes we go eat at places and we get unlucky ordering some janky items on the menu because we should have ordered something else. So I got two shrimp tacos and a chicken taco and I must give an award to this place for being the absolute worst Mexican restaurant I've ever had in my life. These tacos definitely need to be featured on @strugglemeals Let my photos do the speaking. Nuff said. read more

The green spinach enchiladas with tomatillo sauce is amazing. I order it every time plus a taco.

When they get your order right, the food is good. When we order online and pick it up, they screw it up. We got the shrimp burrito and it was inedible it was sooooo hot. I love spicy food, but it was awful. Ordered a fish burrito and they only put in some fish and rice, that's it. Or they don't put in the correct order in the bag, so we get home and it's missing half the food. No idea what's going on, but we're done. read more

Poquito Más - Classic Carnitas Taco - Mexican Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

I love the food here, it is so delicious, but it's hard to overlook the fact that they routinely leave things off my order. I have ordered a bean, cheese & rice burrito my last few visits, and get an extremely small amount of rice in them. You could count the grains, it is a comically small amount. Sorry to post the bastardized pic of burrito, just needed to show how little rice is in there. I also ordered guac and didn't get it. I ordered by phone and it's not on the receipt, so the order taker must've just missed it. Pros: homemade tortilla, delicious food generally, salsa bar (love the dark, smoky one), you get free chips with your order Cons: leaving items off the order, chips are not good nor salty read more

Extremely disappointed today with the service, especially since I was the only person in their restaurant. I ordered almost $50 worth of food, one being chicken nachos with extra black beans. They did not put any black beans on it. So when I got home, I called them when I discover they and they told me I would have to pay for a whole new nachos or a side of black beans. This was the manager I was speaking with, and they didn't even offer to make a new nachos for us. To boot, I was dealing with a manager. I have been in the restaurant business as a general manager for over 15 years, and it never ceases to amaze me when you have a Manager, who willingly executes poor service, especially when its an easy fix. They already would've had to go out of my way to go back to the restaurant to pick up the correct order. What is the point in being in a service industry then? For over 7 years, we've purchased Paquito Mas Sherman Oaks almost weekly (without exaggeration) but it's circumstances like this that make you lose repeat customers. read more
