    This is the perfect spot for a girl's night! We all ordered a burrito; I got mine with carne asada and it was delicious. It was packed with lots of toppings and bold flavors. The portion size is also big for leftovers or sharing. The chips and salsa that comes at the table were also really good. The chips were pre-seasoned, making it so much better. Overall, great spot and I'll definitely have to come back!

    Carnitas Taco Asada Taco
    Gerrie M.

    Met with friends for dinner at Vida. My first time here, and the tacos looked really good. I ordered the carnitas taco and a asada taco, they were very tasty. The steak was tender. Well done! I will come back for a taco Tuesday!

    Two Asada and One Al Pastor Street Taco with Beans and Rice (Taco Tuesday deal)
    Diane C.

    Walked by during taco Tuesday and saw they had a special, $2.50 per street taco which isn't terrible so decided to give them a try. Staff was super nice, we were able to select our table and sit down. Took a little while to get our order taken and for the food to come out. You get free chips and salsa, their chips were seasoned differently which was cool. I ordered two asada and one al pastor taco from the taco Tuesday menu, and the tacos were mid. The Al pastor taco was not good, the asada had decent flavor but asada meat was a little tough. Rice and beans, nothing special. Not sure we would be back.

    I did a walk in and sat at the bar since I didn't have a reservation. I went based off the high reviewed. I'm not sure about parking since I was casually strolling down the street when I visited. I checked YELP and saw such high reviews so I was excited. Customer Service was great. I ordered a carne taco and a chipotle chicken taco. They were the most flavorless tacos I've ever had in my life. The only winner was that the tortillas were fresh. I also had a Paloma which is one of their most popular drinks and that too was nothing but grapefruit flavoring no alcohol no effect. Ambiance was average, sitting at the bar was ehh as the seating was close to the kitchen and there was no air. All in all I would not return here. The price of the two tacos does not equate to the lack of flavor.

    Pollo asada burrito bowl (catered)
    Sean S.

    Decent catered burrito bowl... curious to try the real thing They catered our lunch today, and I went with a pollo asada burrito bowl (everything on it, except onions). It was solid, and I could tell they use fresh ingredients, but overall it felt just okay. Maybe under seasoned ? To be fair, they were working out of a mobile setup, so I don't want to judge too harshly. That said, when you hear "burrito bowl," it's hard not to compare it to Chipotle (am I telling on myself?) and I'd say this landed about one notch below that. I'd definitely be interested in giving them another shot at their brick-and-mortar location to see how it stacks up when it's served fresh from the kitchen. There's potential there!

    Loved this spot! It was great sitting at the bar, we had margaritas and enchiladas that were delicious. They did make a mistake on one of our orders and were so nice and quick about fixing it and making it right. Friendly staff and cute spot.

    Margs with old friends... old lmao we admit not false people

    The best Margarita in town. Named for the bartender who was too modest to tell us. I asked the bar and they told me. It's true legit Marg.

    Mushroom Quesadilla
    Toshi I.

    Food is delicious as before. The mushroom quesadilla is really great. We came here for Happy Hour. The server advised us that we can switch out the ingredients for agave, etc. I should have asked if this was extra but anyway, when we got our bill, we were bummed that it was significantly higher. Just a heads up if you happen to go during Happy Hour. Should have been told to us that it's an extra $ whatever.

    Don't get the al pastor- no flavor and wet from the pineapple and salsa. Cod taco was fine and very mild. Queso fundido was fine. Don't get the fajitas- burned the steak on one side (black) because they forgot about it and I tried to send it back. The chef had the server come back with it and say that's how they prepare it and it can't be cooked less. The birtia burrito was good but you have to ask for consume. They also never cleared our table. Server was nice.

    Birria breakfast burrito - don't order
    Sara J.

    I'm very disappointed with the Birria Breakfast Burrito. It is terrible. I'm throwing it away in the trash. Look at the picture. It is super dry and does not smell good at all. The hash browns were barely cooked. The eggs is mixed with the birria and tasted like it was made hours ago and just sitting there. Their other dishes are much much better. I have ate here a few times before. This needs to be taken off the menu.

    first time here on busy Saturday night. comfortable and plenty of seating. Veg options are delicious! Food was all seasoned well including the delicious chips. cocktails are excellent! S/O to our server Dylan, who made out first dining experience memorable!! can't wait to come back.

    Two Enchiladas (carne)
    Ken L.

    Nice place Friendly service Came on a Monday and they had specials on margaritas. They were pretty good. I got the enchiladas (carne) the meat was pretty tough and bland. The rice and beans was pretty bland too. I didn't care for my entree at all. But overall we had a good dinner. I'll come again but I'll try something different.

    NY taco , octopus  ,  and shrimp
    Samuel F.

    The New York taco is to die for! Seriously one of the best tacos I've ever had. Super friendly service at the bar. Great low key ambiance with the game on and the doors open. Hit the spot. Can't wait to come back!

The noodles are thick, chewy, and clearly made fresh. Broth is clean and dashi-forward. Solid bowl. I also got a spam musubi. It was fine, but the spam-to-rice ratio was not enough in my option. The tempura add-on bar is genuinely a nice touch. Crab meat, cheese, sausage, gyoza, pumpkin, sweet potato, zucchini, potato croquette, chicken katsu, all ranging from about $1.99 to $4.99 per item. Lots of ways to build out your bowl. Service was fast and friendly, Japanese pop in the background, low-key atmosphere. It's a good spot. Not destination dining, but absolutely worth a stop if you're nearby and want something warm and fresh.

This quaint little spot sits in a small strip mall on 182nd Street & Crenshaw right next to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. Parking is decent, and the cozy interior gives it that authentic neighborhood ramen shop vibe, although I usually order mine to-go. My wife and I always order the Tonkotsu Ramen. The pork broth is absolutely incredible -- rich, creamy and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of saltiness poured over perfectly cooked noodles. The bowl comes topped with: * Bamboo shoots * Diced green onion * Pork belly * Marinated egg halves * Braised pork * Mushrooms * Dried seaweed If you order takeout, they package the broth separately from the noodles and toppings so the noodles don't get soggy before you get home. The price is reasonable and honestly worth every penny, and the staff is always willing to assist with questions. Pro tip: I add Chef Troy's Crunchy Garlic Chili Oil for an extra level of flavor (purchased at Vons)
