    Chile Verde Flautas
    Frida T.

    I've been back around 3 times already and I would highly recommend coming back. The flavors of the Flautas were delicious and have a good amount of meat added onto them. I've had both the Verde and Shrimp. Verde is a classic salsa verde sauce with a mild spice level. The shrimp is more on the Cajun side and a bit spicier. I've also had the 50/50 nachos and I can say that their proportions are quite big. In some cases where the container couldn't fully close. Flavor wise just as impactful as the other two options. The service was amazing as well. The head chef is very attentive and even made a special change for the Shrimp Flautas by making it non-spicy and more of a Alfredo based sauce with mushrooms which my mom adored. He was also quite funny interacting with some of the customers while I sat in which made the experience more fun.

    These folks know good taste and flavors are EXCELLENT. Their shrimp nachos are seriously the best in town, the chips are crunchy to perfection. They add a creamy sauce and red sauce, the shrimp is sauteed to perfection y sas! The shrimp flautas are just as good too, everything is a good choice here. The entire staff are also super chill and cool, they're attentive and provide quality service.

    The 50/50

    Mannnnn after months of planning and failed visits, finally made it to SoulMex this weekend! I'm always very weary about all of the social media hype but glad to say that the hype was real! Best nachos in LA and I don't think I even got served them at an optimal level. But let me backtrack a bit, because the people here are simply amazing. Me and my friend Mark were made to feel very important and everyone there would check on us to make sure that we were happy with our plates. So customer service 20/10! Being a stand in East LA you're not getting luxury on the location but they had some tables set up for people to sit down and enjoy their nachos- that's a plus cause these plates are massive. Couldn't complain about the prices either cause I've pay similar for smaller and not as good nacho plates in LA. Fresh chips, flavorful toppings and well cooked meats, can't go wrong with it. I don't even like seafood but I kept seeing their shrimp plates come out and my mouth was watering. So yes it's an amazing place for nachos. Will definitely be back, even if the nachos were mid, the people made the experience that much better! Will definitely want to come back and try more items from their menu! Highly super highly recommended to try!

    This place was amazing great costumer service! Food was great. Totally recommend Here's a picture of my delicious nachos... staff was very friendly :) good seating and nice environment!

    Shrimp & Crab Flautas

    Listen man. I do not say this lightly, these are the best nachos & flautas I've ever had in my life. And I've been alive a long time. The 50/50 Nachos are half asada, half pork chile verde, and they will make you want to karate chop your mom in the neck. They also had a special which was crab flautas topped with shrimp. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, and seasoned to perfection. Even the damn Cokes were ice cold, and in this bullsh*t weather, that was needed. The Chef recommended we eat there, and he wasnt wrong. This food was made to be eaten on the spot. Fire food, & A1 customer service. Don't sleep on this spot.

    The food was delicious and the service was great. The owner made sure we were well taken care of. The food came out fast, there's street parking available, they have tables as well as music. Nice set up.

    these are the 50-50 nachos. So glad I took the drive out The flavor was so good. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was great.

    The nachos were delicious with two types of meat and cheese didn't feel too heavy. The service was super friendly and the atmosphere was great. We ate outside definitely worth the drive.

    Super yummy flavorful Chile Verde Nachos .
    Melissa A.

    So glad I tried this place. The food was amazing. Super friendly vibe . Generous portions . Easy simple menu. All the food is made with fresh ingredients from fresh tortilla chips, tasty fresh homemade guacamole, good cheeses, tasty homemade salsa. The cheese potato flautas were delicious and the chile Verde nachos were the best I ever had. The chile verde is so flavorful! They really put their soul into the food it shows. You just taste how everything is made with so much love and attention to detail. Will definitely be going back .

    50/50 nachos

    Excellent nachos, the sauce is so good. The meat was tender and soft, very very big portion. Enough to share for 2 people. Very customer oriented and food came out very quickly. Amazing experience will definately come again.

    AMAZING! Never had anything like it..my husband and I shared 50/50 nachos and secret item flautas - crab filled, topped by shrimp. Everything was so flavorful...will definitely be back.

    Chile verde Soul Mex Flautas

    Food was good, Smokey and savory. We had flautas and we had nachos. I personally am very picky with my seafood and much rather have freshly peeled shrimp rather than ready to cook shrimp but that's a personal preference, their shrimp are well seasoned. My highlight was the chile verde ‍ service was good I did notice that everyone is assigned a station so it doesn't look chaotic, they are attentive. Ambience is chill, they do have a few tables set up and they have a variety of music playing also. Better lighting?

    I was pleasantly surprised by the food. It was a bold twist to flautas with the creamy sinner potatoes and shrimps all on top. I also had their 50/50 Nachos. Dam!!! The best. The spice level was on point. They did not disappoint. The two cooks super cool and joked with me. Made me feel like I was with friends. Good spot. The vibe was great. Friday

We kicked things off with the queso fundido, and wow, it was absolutely delicious! Rich, melty, and packed with flavor, it was the perfect way to start the evening. For my entrée, I ordered the cochinita pibil, which was incredibly tender and saucy in the best way. My husband ordered the short rib, and it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. On the side, we shared the papas bravas and esquite, both of which complemented our dishes perfectly. The drinks truly elevated the night. My husband and I both love mezcal, and Kateen delivered. I ordered the Valentine's Day "Zona Romántica," which featured mezcal and wine almost like a sangria, but completely unique and beautifully balanced. My husband had the "Gypsy Fever," also mezcal-based, and it was smoky, smooth, and refreshing. Between the food, cocktails, and ambiance, it made for such a romantic and memorable evening. We'll absolutely be back!!

This time, we decided to give it another shot since it has so many good reviews, and I'm glad we did. The ambiance was much better, with nice Tulum-style vibes and music that really set the mood. From the moment we walked in, service was great. We were greeted and seated right away thanks to our reservation. Our waitress, Brenda, was friendly, attentive, and super helpful in explaining the menu and recommending drinks. She checked in often and made sure everything came out quickly. The food was good overall, though the menu is a bit limited if you don't eat meat or seafood. I was especially looking forward to the fish tacos, but it seems like they've been removed from the menu. One thing I really appreciated was the mocktail options. Perfect if you're not drinking but still want something fun. The Wes Colada is a great pick if you like piña colada type drinks, though it is on the sweeter side. The michelada was also really well done, with a nice balance of savory and sour. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot for a date night or a girls' night out.

They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.
