It was a disco night so when we arrived we were immediately greeted by yelp that were dressed in their disco attire...super fun. The energy was off the chain everyone was so lively and friendly. The event was full of great vendors with great food and drinks such a variety of vendors. The Dancefloor was Poppin with the soul train line. I was able to get my groove on lol. We took photos, we had drinks , we ate food , we had a wonderful time. Another great event from Yelp. There was a raffle where prices were given away , which was a great way to end the night even though we didn't win anything lol. I'm looking forward to the next event. Such a blast

Parking is a little difficult so make sure you give yourself extra time to allow for parking. I came on a Friday mid-afternoon and this place was pretty busy, with people seated in and outdoors. We were given a free chai and dessert. I opted for the hot CARDAMOM CHAI and the MANGO LASSI CHEESECAKE. I also got a PISTACHIO ROSE LOAF $6 so I could try some more of their offerings. I waited for about 10 minutes for my order. The cardamom chai was delicious. I devoured the mango lassi cheesecake. It could have used a little more sauce on the top, but it was very good. The pistachio rose loaf was aesthestically pleasing and very tasty. It was moist and not overly sweet. I will definitely come back here for their other items like burritos and pranthas. Thank you for the yummy treat!

I haven't been out to the 626 Night Market in a while, but this year I actually got to go on the…read morelast two days of the market. I went Saturday because they had the Dreamstate event going on and it was fire! The music was good and the crowd was hyped. I honestly think it's really cool that they're doing something like this at the night market and they should definitely keep bringing more EDM events here lol. It seemed pretty crowded compared to the last time I came, but they also had a ton of new vendors. Everything felt more spread out, so even with all the people, the lines weren't super crazy. I ended up coming back again on Sunday for the last day. It was crowded too, but nothing unbearable. We waited in line for some squid and a few other things, and I think the longest we waited was around 20 minutes, which honestly isn't too bad for the 626 Night Market. Overall, I really enjoyed coming back this year. Lots of food to try, plenty of new vendors, and adding events like Dreamstate made it even more fun. I definitely plan on coming back the next time they're around!

I've been going to the 626 Night market every year for the last couple of years. Although I feel…read morelike prices have rose pretty significantly in the past couple of years this is an event I'm always excited for. It is peak summer where you are able to be out in a comfortable summer night and browse what feels like any and all food there is. I thought this year was especially great with the DJ and the location. Previous years they always had the DJ tucked away all the way in the back but having them front and center of the event was a great call. Always have that awesome music in the background added a lot to my experience. Some of the standout thing we got was Japadog which is a wagyu hotdog that will make you rethink what a hotdog can be. We got a truffle katsu sandwich there too which is as fabulous as it sounds. Also had salt bread which was especially exciting considering I have been craving them ever since visiting Korea. Lastly, I got a fried Reece's cup which I have been in the hunt for some time since they seem pretty rare, so of course that hit the spot. Overall, this was an awesome 626 night market better than previous years. This is something I'll continue to look forward to every year!

OG yelp granny! Something special about UYEs are due to a more small, intimate setting. You can finally put that face in real life to that yelper you may be following for years or have been virtual friends with. Like-minded yelpers with similar passions get to connect and really get to know each other at these gatherings. Whether it's becoming lifelong friends or making memories with those near or far, it's always a positive and uplifting community and experience. A lot of work and coordination comes with organizing these events and each one I've been to have been so fun and worthwhile. From costume-themed events to breaking a sweat at a local gym/studio it never disappoints and I always have a blast! So many UYE highlights throughout the years and I'm thankful to those who I have come across and I look forward to meeting more yelpers aka friends in the future! Pardon my cheesy review, but had to represent!

Review #893 2025-065…read moreYEE #136 Comped Dulce Pan Order: Alemana Dulce Pan Order: Brazo Gitano, Guisano, Oreja, Quesadilla Yelp is celebrating Latinx Heritage Month with La Usuluteca, an authentic Central American deli, & lucky Elites like myself get to enjoy 1 complimentary pan dulce of our choosing. The bakery is located near Arlington Heights, off Washington Blvd. & 10th Ave.; you can't miss the bright red name banner & awning. Upon entering, your senses are hit with baking & cooking scents: pan dulces & pupusas? After selecting my Yelp freebie: Alemana (vanilla muffin pound cake), I asked what's their best seller & got the Quesadilla. It's a sweet, dense cheese bread with a texture that mimics a pound cake. It was really tasty if a tad on the dry side. My son picked the Oreja, literally translates as "ear" because it looks like one. This puff pastry is also called a palmier. It's sweet, light, crisp, & flaky. M says they're way better than Costco's. I also added a Brazo Gitano (strawberry & coconut Swiss/jelly roll), & Guisano (pineapple-filled roll). Although I might have mixed up Alemana & Guisano. I figured this is a mom & pop, so a menu is not probable, & requested the server's help; she was kind enough to take the extra time to provide the names of dulce pans. There's no dulce pan menu, but there is an electronic hot foods menu behind the counter. Not sure of price points, but I got 4 items, excluding my Yelp freebie, for $11.00+. There's a 50¢ surcharge with a cc payment. It would be nice to have placards labeling & pricing the items (sometimes pricing dictates my choices & the quantity). Friendly, knowledgeable, & helpful customer service... my server took extra time to provide the names of the dulce pans & describe what's in them. While I'm not likely in this part of town, I'm definitely a fan of this Central American bakery & will stop by if I'm in this neighborhood. Muchas gracias Yelp, CM Margaret, & La Usuluteca team for my weekend's sweet treats... mi dulce son muy deliciosos!!

What a great Experience! For this event, participants were afforded a 30 Minute Massage. There was…read morealso a really nice selection of brunch type items available for before or after your massage. I was super impressed by that table of goodies. Offerings included Fresh fruit, Lemon Blueberry loaf, croissants, juices and other drinks. I was surprised by the amount of paperwork was involved in getting my massage. I didn't mind, of course, but it was kind of weird to have to fill out/answer/check off Four Pages of questions. But I get it. There is a clear purpose behind all of those questions. Not only does your therapist need your health information, they also want to make it clear that you have the option of declaring any part of your body off limits. You don't want anyone touching your butt, for example, just mark it on the intake form. They make it clear you can end your session anytime you want to, for whatever reason. My therapist, Whitney, was outstanding. Wow, she is good! She asked what areas I wanted her to focus on because this was just a 30 minute appointment. She asked how much pressure I preferred and then went right to work. As far as her technique, i was truly impressed! That girl's got skills! If I go back to Elements, I would most definitely book with her again. I particularly liked that she asked again and again if the amount of pressure was to my liking and then adjusted to whatever my response was. Excellent communication, excellent execution. After my massage I liked that Whitney had some advice for me to address the issues/areas that she had worked on. It was good advice and well received. Back in the lobby I was greeted again by Valerie who graciously shared a lot of information about Elements and told me about the Special Deals they had for Yelp Elite. Those deals were pretty sweet, too! Thank you to Valerie, my therapist Whitney, and everyone at Elements Massage! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services to anyone! Big thanks to Yelp for my invitation to this fantastic event! I sincerely appreciate it! And even more Thanks to our hard working CM, Jara S. for another unforgettable experience!

Massage?! Yes please!!…read more Elements Massage in Simi was definitely what I needed on a gloomy Saturday morning... Elites had appointment slots to come in & receive a 30 minute massage experience. Felt welcomed as soon as I walked in. Nice ambience & space felt open & clean. Met Valerie up at front, who checked me in & gave me paperwork to fill out. I didn't think they needed to know all this medical history, but it makes sense. I met Carolyn, who is the owner of Elements Massage. Thank you Carolyn for introducing yourself to me. A Big Thank You to you & the entire staff @ Elements for the wonderful Massage Experience! It's been years since I've had a professional human massage. Apparently the massage chairs I use don't do any justice lol. I met with Lidia, who was my masseuse for the day. Lidia was Amazing!! I appreciate that she was informative & explained things beforehand & during the session. She was pretty strong for a tiny gal! I did have to tell her to lighten the pressure a few times. I guess I'm a light weight when it comes to massages. Haha. It hurt a lil, but felt so good! The Massage felt Amazing!! Thank You Lidia for that massage I knew I needed! I hope to book another appointment with you! I was just a tad bit confused about the Elite Special being offered... Specials were for that day only... Valerie did mention that I was able to call anytime, that day of the event & get the special quotes... I called a couple hours later & talked to Sierra on the phone. I probably got her confused about what I wanted. Sierra did take the time to explain today's offer & clarified the Massage Specials for me. Thanks Sierra for doing that. Thank you to everyone at Elements Massage for having us! Thank You for the giveaway bags & also serving all the Goodies such as fruit & baked goods. Thank you to Yelp & our hardworking Yelp Central Coast Community Manager, Jara, for introducing us to another wonderful business!!

I have been here during Christmas but this was my first time experiencing it for Halloween. I read…read morea lot of reviews about this venue being too small. It is definitely smaller than the Christmas one, but it wasn't that bad. I still found it enjoyable. There are 10 different themed walk throughs. My favorite was definitely the Pumpkin Forest and the Dia De Los Muertos Ofrenda. You were able to write a note to a loved one that has passed and put it on the Ofrenda. They also had an open area with a bunch of different food/drink booths. Each booth sold something different like hot food, snacks, desserts, hot chocolate, and even alcoholic beverages. Tickets are a bit pricey for a walk through. We paid $70 for my husband and I. However, it's a great place to take the family to create memories or even a date night.

There are also some other totem pole type Halloween characters. Your little kids will have fun running around the hay bale maze. Grab something to drink, if you have a designated driver, and watch them run around for a bit. They will sleep well after that.

The restaurant is beautiful, I love the modern vibe, the openness and just the overall feel of comfort. The Chicken waffles became my favorite. The texture of the chicken was cooked to perfection, and the crispiness was spot on. Personally the squash spaghetti was not for me, simply because I do not like Marinara sauce, and without the sauce the squash was plain. Most times I am not a fan of Mac & Cheese... but the Macky's Mac & Cheese was DELICIOOOUUUSSS. The amount of cheese was perfectly balanced to create a flavorful meal. REGARDING the specialty pancakes... all I can say is I WANT MORE! I also want more of the Cajun Shrimp Salad PLEASEEEEE Boston's BBQ Burger was superb, delicious the Mama's special sauce made the burger taste OUT OF THIS WORLD!
