    Enchiladas Verdes
    L K.

    The moment you step inside (the inside is outside), the restaurant has a breezy, relaxed vibe that almost feels like being on vacation. Sometime parking can be a challenge since it is street parking only. We have been here several times with great, prompt service. Service-wise on this visit, our server was friendly, but the pacing was a drawback. He never came back to check on us once the food arrived, forgot to put in a drink order and everything moved much slower than expected. We ordered taquitos and fish tacos and enchiladas verdes from the brunch menu. The enchiladas were flavorful and while I initially thought there was a lot of sauce, it ended up being perfect because it was well absorbed by the tortillas/chicken. The tacos were good, but a bit more bland than on past visits, which was disappointing since they're usually a highlight. The food and service are generally 5 stars. I gave it 4 stars on the review mostly for the slow service.

    Food was great. Drinks were good! Such a cute ambiance with really cute outdoor vibes. The service was also good. Came twice already and will definitely be back! Their chip and salsa flight was also really good.

    This restaurant is beautiful. It has a nice indoor/outdoor area, very instagrammable. The server (Maribelle?) was amazing! She gave us great recommendations, was so accommodating and consistently checked on how we were doing. The food was much better than i thought it would be. My favorite was the elote, blew my mind. My second favorite was the chips and guac. Definitely 100% would come again

    In Los Angeles, when you are looking for a place to take out of town guests from some cloudy, rainy, cold places, they almost invariably love a Mexican restaurant. There are Mexican places all over this country now, but some of the best in the US are in Los Angeles. One of them is in Silver Lake, Tacolina. We were there on a warm January afternoon for lunch. It was crowded when we arrived so larger parties needed two tables as this outdoor space is cleverly parqueted with many intimate, round surfaces. All of them are either backed up to a comfortable banquette (as ours was) or outfitted with cushiony chairs. There is a clever "sunscreen" overhead through which some old trees are still climbing toward the sky. The first thing you notice is the color -- riots of ruby, turquoise, bright leafy green, and mustard -- very south of the border, let's say. Then you can imagine that you are in a tropical rainforest of sorts. The overall effect is enlivening and charming but somehow calming too. Next, there is the menu -- full of unique items along with familiar ones but done with Tacolina's special twist. Take Cafe de Olla, for example. Most places just combine ordinary black coffee, simple (cane) syrup, and cinnamon. But here they add a touch of chili to exquisite La Colombe and it makes all the difference -- I could have downed a pitcher of that stuff! We were a conventional bunch so we got familiar dishes (see my photos) and all of it was very good. The service was excellent too and we had two people fussing over us, especially the smiling and attentive James. Tacolina is on a busy stretch of Sunset in a gritty but interesting part of town. I have always loved Silverlake, while being aware of its challenges -- parking for one, and dodging a few urbanic hazards. But, for this particular experience, it is well worth it. And, coming from a big old city myself, I actually welcome a familiar hit of reality. If you come early, you can grab metered parking all along the street. Still, once you are inside, Tacolina envelops you in another world, one with chattering birds, soft music, rich colors, and exceptional flavor. And when you leave (you won't want to), make sure to drive up and down the boulevard to see a panoply of one-of-a-kind shops that still thrive in this festive little patch of LA. We will be back. Olé!

    The salsas
    Coco V.

    It's been about a year since I've been here but it's been sitting in my drafts and I like to know where I've been and if I liked it. Went here with some friends so I'm pretty sure I was more focused on conversations, but I have no bad memories. The food was good, the service was good and the place was nice. I do remember really enjoying the salsas. I'd come back if I was ever in the mood...

    Greenhouse space for six!

    You'll want to add Tacolina to your favs list for both a date night and for the cuisine. We celebrated an early New Year's dinner and our party was seated within a cozy modified green house; totally felt like an intimate space enhanced with gorgeous plates and table settings. The food -- delicious, but know that the portions are not shareable if you're one to eat lots. In that case, order double. The evening quickly turned busy, but being within the greenhouse it kept our group's vibe cozy and relaxed. That said, the service, although swamped with orders to and fro, was kind and attentive; they even comped our last round of drinks due to the extended wait. Last note: if you like spicy foods make sure to ask otherwise the salsas, although tasty have no kick. So ask for the chipotle salsa !

    Had a reservation for 10 people and we were seated when 75% of the group arrived. Food was delicious, bad bunny was playing half the time, and service was great

    The parking sucks lol but the spot is dope asf. The whole vibe and setting was on point. As soon as I walked in I felt like I was at some tropical destination. The service was awesome The food was delicious. And the drinks were amazing.

    Carne asada Steak Tacos
    Hala Hana C.

    Tacolina absolutely delivered! We tried the aguachile, carne asada nachos, carne asada tacos, fish tacos, and the guacamole, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and so well done. The aguachile had the perfect kick, the carne asada was juicy with great seasoning, and the fish tacos were super crisp and light. Even the guac was a standout, bright, creamy, and super fresh. The service was genuinely great, attentive without being overbearing, and everyone was friendly. Drinks were also on point, really well balanced, and honestly just pretty, super aesthetic, perfect for a cute night out or content girlies . The vibes and ambiance are really good, too. Fun, modern, stylish -- the kind of place you instantly want to come back to. Highly recommend Tacolina!

    Wow wow wow!!!! As a Mexican myself I truly enjoy authentic food from my culture and didn't have high expectations for this place but MAN did they raise the bar. I loved the taste of every single food item I had and wish I could have it at least twice a week! These tacos were nothing like I've ever had in my life. They were tacos with a twist of flavors I never imagined a taco would have. The enhanced flavors of everything truly left me shocked. The service her was so great ! I loved the aesthetic here as well. It was a very outdoorsy but cozy type of vibe. I enjoyed the music they played too! Felt like I was able to enjoy my food while enjoying the music too :-))) can't wait to come back. I'm from LA so it felt a little touristy since I did see tourists

    Dine LA week menu it's hard to beat. We had so much food between the 2 of us and the options were hard to choose between. We're tempted to go back for round 2. We agreed I could come back everytime we're in LA just for the salad.

    Nachos (chicken ToGo)
    Jessica H.

    Ordered the Chicken nachos on a delivery service. They were really good, I'm happy they separated the cheese from the chicken/beans/chips because nothing was soggy. Good portion, very filling and the seasoning on the chicken / queso was good!

    Tacolina hosted a group of 18 for my birthday brunch. Super friendly staff who were easy to coordinate with. They accommodated us with a charming, secluded space in the back patio. Margarita pitchers had us feeling good and the food was amazing! Highly recommend if you are looking for a place to eat at with a large party.

To end the night before we headed off to dinner, we stopped by The Semi- Tropic bar for drinks. The parking situation was difficult to say the least-- there is no street parking or parking lot. And the neighborhood behind the bar is filled with park cars. We were lucky and parked at a parking lot that was for the surrounding business (so sorry to the pizza/ weed shop!). We arrived at around 6:30 PM so it wasn't too busy. We were greeted by one of the servers and she gave us options to either sit at a lounge table area or hightop tables. We opted for the hightop tables because we knew we weren't staying there for long. The server was friendly and patient as we looked over the menu for drinks. I've been sober for about a year so I only had water, my boyfriend ordered a Naoshima Dream, his cousin ordered a Mango Cart, and his cousin's girlfriend ordered a Lemon Drop Martini. The bar was super cute and hipster! I honestly would have loved going to this bar back when I used to drink. It's dimly lit, had a vintage 20's speakeasy feel to it and the music was a vibe. I'd recommend coming here for a little date with your partner or even coming with a group of friends. My boyfriend had been here once before and he said the food was really good and affordable. He had a panini and said for bar food it was a 10/10. We waited maybe like 10 minutes for our drinks to come, we were having such a fun time chatting and enjoying the environment that it didn't feel long at all. My boyfriend, his cousin, and his cousin's girlfriend really enjoyed their drinks. They said the drinks tasted "light" insinuating that there was barely any alcohol in it. Don't let the taste fool you, after finishing half of their drink there were full of smiles, giggles, and had a great buzz going. The prices here were all pretty fair for the cost and quality of the drinks. Would defintely recommend coming here for drinks and dinner for a date night or a night out with friends!

Indoor and outdoor seating available, Bar Henry is a cool little for in Echo Park serving up tasty cocktails in a friendly, local feeling environment. We tried a few cocktails when we visited. The Butthole Surfer is their version of a pina colada which, while decent, could have been a little more flavor forward. Feel it is premade in batches as I didn't see it made fresh but was brought getting the back, but still decent. The Lucid Dream had the smokiness from the mezcal posted with the mandarin, but then the rosemary comes in and helps add a little balance to the drink. The Swimsuit Edition was more flavor forward, but the passion fruit didn't necessarily pop in the drink for us. And finally was the Snitches Get Stitches, another mezcal drink with mango and horchats. Interesting was my first thought, then you start getting the nuances of the different interested and it's a respectable cocktail. Overall, good drinks, friendly people, chill atmosphere, and a nice addition to the bar scene in Echo Park
