    This was everything I needed just when I needed. I had just got off the plane, landed in L.A. and needed to eat. We drove up and down and found Te'Kila, the name caught my eye. So we popped in and just happened to have very little time to spare before they closed. We quickly ordered food and drink (because you gotta wash it down ). We got our food and drink in about 5-7 min. O M G...that soyrizo is EVERYTHJNG! I've never had a vegan meal with so much flavor. If I wasn't full, I would have tried to order more to go. My friends enjoyed their meal, but I'd have to say mine was better lol. I wish we had this place back home, the outdoor seating, the lighting, all sitting on Hollywood Blvd, with DElicious food. If I'm ever in town again, this is my first stop.

    I love coming to Hollywood to sit out here and enjoy happy hour drinks. The drinks are not watered down and are very good! The food is great, I enjoyed the Nachos on this visit. I drive from Alhambra and pay parking just to come and relax here, the outdoor tables are great to sit back and just people watch. Service has been great each time I come down. Great music playing 9n the background and you can sit indoors, outside or the bar.

    We stopped in during Pride & had a great time. Service from Alisha was fantastic. It was crowded & chaotic due to the parade but she was still friendly & attentive. The food was delicious & the drinks strong. If you ever find yourself on Hollywood Blvd craving Mexican food, this is a good stop.

    I've been to Te'kila once before but only for drinks! This time we got food and it was good! I got the chicken flautas from the appetizers because I wasn't that hungry and my friend got the Chicken quesadilla, both were good. The service was good and fast, we watched the Colombia vs Portugal game. The ambience is nice, they have indoor and outdoor seating and lots of tvs to watch sports! They do add an 18% gratuity fee to every check! It's on Hollywood blvd so parking is a bit rough, we thankfully found street parking!

    We were enjoying a taco Tuesday and this was our second stop of the day. Really enjoy this place as it has quality food and nice decor. I sure liked my chicken street tacos from the happy hour menu and was a good place to enjoy them on this taco Tuesday. The server was attentive and helpful, and we enjoyed the unique decor of this place, really has its own feel. This place is great if you wanna sit right on the sidewalk and eat and drink with all the action that comes along. we enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning soon!

    Was in the area to watch the Hollywood holiday parade, and had some time to eat before it started, so we popped in to Te'Kila to grab something to eat. Sat at the bar and got things started. Luckily it was happy hour, so tacos and margaritas were on deck. Grabbed a mango margarita and a strawberry mango margarita. They were pretty basic, tequila tasted like it was bottom shelf, and the flavor was ok. Nothing amazing. Tacos were also hot and miss. The carne asada had nice flavor to it while the carnitas tasted like they needed some seasoning. Overall, can only comment on the happy hour for, but get the carne asada tacos, skip the carnitas and maybe get a margarita with better tequila.

    Came here for happy hour after work on a Thursday. I found parking at a meters on the side street across from Te'kila. It was pretty quiet, not alot going on like back in the day. The bar adds 18% automatic gratuity to all bills. The bartender was nice and gave me everything I asked for. It was a chill time, nothing major to report. I got a well gin with club soda, tasty. A margarita which was good as well and the nachos without meat. No complaints just in and out.

    Great Mexican restaurant! The fajitas were amazing--fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The carne asada fries were some of the best I've had, loaded with delicious toppings and generous portions. The service was excellent, very friendly and attentive

    AUTO GRATUITY OF 18% WILL BE ADDED TO YOUR CHECK WITHOUT NOTICE! This place is okay, it's a casual "sit yourself" spot. One thing I found a bit odd was the tacos only came with meat. There was no lettuce, onion, cilantro, cheese, etc to come with it. I would've rated this spot higher if the tacos came with toppings.

    This is THE place to be for a Seahawks game. Football aside... the staff is always very friendly and prices are great for the area. Food is mediocre, BUT it's affordable, so I cannot complain. Best happy hour beer deals in the area.

    House margarita 9/10! (STRONG)
    Marlisa S.

    DELICIOUS food! STRONG drinks!!! An AMAZING happy hour menu which is all week and even all day on Sunday's! Happy hour items are limited but even the price of their regular items isn't that bad! $16 for a huge wet burrito! $50 in total for two meals with a lot of food & Two alcoholic drinks! And that's including tip in which they do charge an automatic 18% gratuity fee to every check. Service was awesome! Very attentive, they weren't super busy, inside is a very divey vibe, with Christmas lights, pop music on the tv's, cool art, it definitely matched Hollywood which is perfect cause it's right on the Hollywood walk of fame! Love this place and will definitely be coming back!

    More hair

    Let me start by saying I love this restaurant I have been coming for years. Most of the workers know me or have seen my face. I usually order the buffalo wings and a frozen margarita....as you can see in the photos I demolished my wings but was very disappointed and disgusted to find a long piece of thick hair wrapped around one of the last three wings left and buried in the sauce. I called the location, asked for management and spoke with Francelli who said that the manager was not in. She said I could come with a receipt and get a new order which is cool but hairnets for cooks would be even better.

    Coronarita

    The Food is good. The fajitas are excellent I get a combo of beef and shrimp and it is always delicious. Margaritas is big and strong and they have wide variety of tequila to choose from. The service is great, Victor, Victor #2 and Marina are awesome.

    How's the parking for this establishment ? Is it just street parking or do they have a parking lot?

    There's street parking and a parking lot literally around back around the corner. There's a few parking lots (paid parking) at least when I went

    Someone told me this was a Seahawks bar?

    Are the drinks expensive?

    God yes 🙄 nothings less than $12

    Do you take RSVPs? Your website has the Yelp widget but it brings me back to this page with nowhere to RSVP.

    They do not take reservations at this location. I just had the same experience with the looping back to the Yelp page. When I called they informed me.

    Is the online reservation system down or does it no longer exist? The reservations page on the restaurant website redirects to the Yelp page, where there is no reso feature.

    I just called Te'Kila and they said they no longer take reservations and have switched to "first come first serve."

    When are you guys going to bring back happy hour!?

    They have happy hour every day 4-7 I believe..and all day Sundays. This is as of 1/17/26.

    I was reading online that this establishment has thc infused drinks? If so has anyone tried any of them?

    they don't have that

    What time is happy hour?

    They do not have happy hour

    Do you guys have happy hour?

    No happy hour

    How is your taco Tuesday guys?

    $2 tacos

    Any outdoor seating?

    Yes! Front and side patio.

    What is the age limit, 18 or 21?

    21+ in the bar area. However, for dining areas it's all agrees with an adult.

    Is this a 21 and over only establishment?

    No, it's just a restaurant that serves liquor.

    Is this restaurant appropriate for kids age 10-12?

    No. It's a bar, mostly

    Did they get rid of $15 beer pitchers on taco Tuesday?

    Didn't see it on the menu last time I was there

    Is this place recommended to make reservations?

    On a Friday night or weekend I'd say absolutely! Never been on a weekday so can't confirm. Cheers :)

    Would this place be good for a 21st birthday, for about 15/18 people?

    Yes. They have a large dining area on the right side of the restaurant with TV's. There was a large-ish party there when we were having dinner. Bar was packed also. Seemed to be a younger crowd, age range 21-35

    What time do they stop serving food on Tuesday?

    They don't stop until the bar is almost closed

    We had such a great experience at The Hollywood Rooftop Restaurant & Bar. The food was delicious,…read moreand the portion sizes were incredibly generous. I ordered the American breakfast, which was filling, flavorful, and a great value. The tiki flight was also a highlight and such a fun way to explore the different drinks and discover what you like. The colada was by far my favorite! The rooftop itself has a wonderful atmosphere--it feels open and lively while still offering a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood Boulevard. The celebrity wax figures placed around the rooftop add a playful, uniquely Hollywood touch and make for some fun photo opportunities. Great food, creative drinks, generous portions, and a memorable setting. I would definitely recommend stopping by for brunch or drinks while exploring Hollywood.

    (This experience occurred on 05/08/26. This review was mistakenly posted for the Madame Tussaud Wax…read moreMuseum.) I've dined at the Rooftop restaurant several times, and I've noticed a general trend: extremely slow service, but tasty food. My most recent visit on Friday, May 8, however, permanently changed my opinion of this restaurant. (I dined in a group of four for a 6:00 PM reservation.) At the start of meal, everything seemed as good as usual: extremely slow service, but tasty food. I ordered the Sea Bass as my main entree and the Garlic Cheese Puffs as my appetizer. Another person in my party also ordered the same entree. After 40 minutes--yes, 40 minutes--the staff begins dropping off our food. They brought everything except my sea bass, but they brought my friend's. After 5 minutes, when it seemed apparent that our waiter wasn't going to check in on us, we signal him over and ask about my sea bass. He quickly says he'll "check on it." Then, 5 minutes later, he returns saying the dish would be right out. At this point, I've been waiting almost 55 mins for a sea bass dish. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy, so this started to become frustrating, especially with the lack of attentive service. Finally, my dish arrives. My partner noticed that the color of my sea bass didn't match the golden brown, crispness of my friend's sea bass. I then cut directly into the center of the fish and discover it's purple and raw. Inedible. Now, it's 7:00 PM. I've waited 1 hour for raw fish? We quickly wave down our waiter and show him the raw fish, which he takes back to the kitchen for a re-fire. Because I was seeing John Mulaney at the Hollywood Bowl at 7:30 PM, I requested the order to be canceled. The manager visits our table and tries to offer me another dish "on the house," but given the time and the fact that I was served raw food, I declined. I didn't want to rush eating my food and quite frankly didn't trust the kitchen to cook more food for me. Flash forward to receiving the check. The manager gave us a 50% discount, which only did two things: 1. It removed the sea bass--but why not just void that dish? Oh, they said they can't do that. That seems odd to me, given the type of restaurant the Rooftop purports itself to be. 2. It gave us $20 off a $200+ bill. By the way, the restaurant still charged an automatic gratuity charge of 20%. I understand that's the Rooftop's policy, which they do state on their website and their menu. But why should the staff receive an automatic gratuity when they clearly forgot to put in my sea bass, then served it raw, and didn't bother to refill our water or check in on us throughout the meal. Again, the restaurant has extremely slow service, but, this time, inedible food. After we pay, the waiter brings my party free shots, which we all politely declined. None of us ordered shots in the first place, drinks yes, but we weren't in that kind of mood. I don't believe the Rooftop did all that they could to make the situation right, and the manager didn't even bother to check in on us at the end of the meal. Her lack of urgency was appalling and, quite frankly, disturbing. I highly doubt she would be okay with this kind of service if she were in my position. I will never dine here again, and will never recommend it. What a shame. This place was starting to become a regular spot for me.

There were also seats at the bar but not enough for our group size. We came in for drinks and food before heading over to TCL Chinese Theatre. We ordered a few drinks and some shareables. The French martini was delicious- it had raspberry liqueur,pineapple juice and vodka. Very refreshing. The wild mushroom tagliatelle was phenomenal the pasta was just right and oh those delicate but powerful herbs, divine! The Japanese sweet potatos were so tender, the sauce that was one them was so yummy, I loved it. The steak & frites were scrumptious, steak was perfectly medium rare and fries were classic. The charcuterie board was so good we got the 3 cheese and 2 meats, everyone enjoyed it. The fresh baguette was crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside, only thing that could have made it better was a little balsamic. Overall wonderfully surprised by the lobby bar on a Tuesday night.

    (Visit: 11/23/2024, Saturday evening around 10 )…read more About The Lobby -- "Thoughtfully reimagined by Nickey Kehoe (interior designer), the Lobby at The Hollywood Roosevelt is a stylish, inviting space to unwind. With dishes from Shirley Brasserie available all day, it's the perfect spot to enjoy everything from light bites to seasonal plates, surrounded by the warmth of the historic fireplace and the charm of this iconic setting." -- from The Roosevelt Hotel's website. Shirley Brasserie, the restaurant referred to above, is also located in The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel (located next to The Lobby). The "iconic" they refer to is the fact that this hotel is historic -- it was built in 1926 during the Golden Era of Los Angeles architecture. It is named after Theodore Roosevelt. The first Academy Awards (Oscars) was held here in 1929. The hotel had its ups and downs since then but currently it looks beautiful and thriving. Take your out-of-state visiting friends/relatives to this place. Because this is a big part of "Hollywood". I recommend The Lobby to hang out after a long day's work or after a nice dinner nearby. This is where my sister and I went after our dinner at Musso and Frank. My sister ordered their Espresso Martini which was really good. I had a beer. Our server wasn't as warm as the ones during my visit in 2023. I think she was an introvert or a bit of a nervous person. But she did not seem potentially horrible. Restroom: I did not go to the restroom this time. I think there was a line. But I remember back in 2023 that you had to ask for a key or a code. Which is understandable for this area. Parking: I recommend the valet parking. If validated, the fee is really reasonable (I forgot how much they charged). We got ours validated because we ordered those drinks from The Lobby.

    I decided to try this place because it was on the list of restaurants doing DineLa this year. We…read moreended up ordering the DineLa 3-course meal and also extra dishes to try. Even though this restaurant is a bar restaurant located in the Loews Hotel, the dishes are a lot more elevated and high-quality than I expected when compared to bar food. Food was actually very good. I didn't realize that food was Asian-Mexican fusion, but I have to say the mixture of flavors worked very well together. We ordered spicy tuna nigiri tacos, birria gyozas, skirt steak with Viet chimichurri sauce, ceviche, short-rib tacos, scallops with spicy hominy, and chai brownie for dessert. Every dish had great flavors and were seasoned very well. Steak was cooked perfectly and seafood quality tasted fresh. Hibiscus cocktail was also very tasty and refreshing. My only callouts were the chips for the ceviche were stale and the brownie was quite dry. Service was great. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, checking on us constantly. Food pace was also well-timed and came out accordingly. The reason why I give this place a 4-star is because of the ambience. This bar restaurant is attached to the lobby and it can get very loud and rowdy with hotel guests sitting around. It would be better if the restaurant was separate from the lobby area to provide a more personal and less noisy dining experience. Also, the design could use some updating as it felt like eating in a restaurant located in a low-end casino. Ambience doesn't match the quality of the food. Nonetheless, I would still come dine here if I'm in the area.
