Quesabirria
Anthony R.

This is my first time visiting this food truck. This is the food struck on Main St and 92th in Los Angeles. I think they have more than one spot. I live down the block. I always see this spot but never had a chance to stop by until a couple of days ago. I gave them a shot. The quesabirria was pretty huge for $11. I feel like he hook it up a bit. And, the quesabirria was delicious. I would definitely return for the tacos.

Bueno la primera vez que fui a este lugar estuvo bien la comida estaba bien echa Pero pasé a comer a este lugar otra vez Y no se si estaban enojados oh estaban de mal humor quien sabe Pero ordené un birria burrito pero estába mal echo parecía que no lo doblaron bien Pero bueno ojalá que no les pase a los que van a este lugar a comer

Consomme with bone
J S.

I'm not sure what is wrong with f****** Yelp, because this would be my third review of the same place the stupid app keeps making me redo my review. So I'm just going to make this short. Small place, horrible parking, salty lamb, salty consomme soup. The pork bone in the soup was bomb! The soup had too much rice and beans in it, and the Mango lemonade was delicious. Most of the staff speak Spanish and don't really speak English, they don't accept credit card or debit card.

Tacos de carnitas
Araceli G.

This is just fabulous. If you dont like lamb, this is probably not for you. But if you give it a shot, it will be great! I always get the broth (tastes amazing like you are drinking rich lamb broth plus they add some rice and garbanzo beans) and order half a pound of marinated belly meat (pancita) and a pound of lamb meat.(I go with my family so maybe order a bit less, 4 people total). The tortillas are also hand made! They also give you salsa and guacamole and onions and lemons. Esta super riquisimo. Ordena la carne y el conzomé sabe a borrego bien echo.

The Mexican food isn't the best quality of food. The only good thing here was their Horchata. Service is okay.

I am so happy I finally got to try Dama! I absolutely love Antonia LaFasso so I've been dying to…read moretry one of her restaurants. Now when you pull up originally you might think, "am I in the right place" but once you park and get into the courtyard, it is LOVELY! Amazing ambience! There is a bocce set up, string lights. It is a little slice of oasis in the middle of the fashion district. The restaurant itself - beautiful. I couldn't ask for more. Absolutely perfect in my book. Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried. Unfortunately my friends had gone to Funke the night before so they were comparing the squash blossoms and Funke won out, but they still liked Dama's! Small plates were enough for the 3 of us. The service was quick and attentive. Parking was easy for us. I will definitely be back!

We've probably been to Dama two dozen times. It's one of our regular spots and we love it…read more First of all the service is always great. The staff are lovely humans who really seem to care about their customers. We have some faves on the menu. The bean dip is fabulous and I'm addicted to the baby gem salad. They have recently amped up the filling in the delicious crispy squash blossoms and I love the acidity and heat. The fish is also a hit in my books. One dish that doesn't work for me is the lamb chops, which is a shame since it's my favorite protein. I've ordered them multiple times with clear instructions on temperature and have found them overcooked and tough. The beef tostada was just ok. Whilst I loved the pickled veg on the side, the beef was underseasoned. It wasn't bad - just not up to the standard of other dishes. The vibe in the place is welcoming and the restaurant is nicely appointed. We will continue to be regulars and it's really worth trying if you haven't been yet.

Our server helped us choose a variety of dishes to share and everything was excellent. One person in our group has a nut allergy, and the staff was very accommodating in helping us find safe options. A note that many dishes, including their free chips at the start of the meal and the moles, contain nuts so it is best to mention any allergies right away. The restaurant has two sections. The front has a stage with live music and a lively, louder atmosphere. The back area is a bit quieter but just as nice. Food and service both top-notch. Will return.

Walking in you're shown many awards, culminating in a 2025 Michelin. There must have been a special occasion to be welcomed by music that was incredibly loud. We sat down, and I couldn't hear myself think, or the waiters voices. We asked for another table, but unfortunately that brought a certain type of attitude from the host. I'm sure the music would have been nice if it wasn't as loud, on amplified speakers. After finally being seated, near the bar, the service seemed great. Seating seemed plentiful, but I can now see why a reservation is necessary. To start, the appetizer we chose was a queso fundido which was ok on their smaller tortillas. I must have been spoiled by Chalio's homemade giant tortillas. Chalio's on Atlantic by the way. Guelageutza uses sautéed mushrooms, and they garnished it with this guacamole that didn't really taste that good. Mushrooms on the fundido didn't seem right, but individually they tasted great. The chorizo was ok. My gf likes to try those types of apps. They're not known for that, so I can let it pass. Our order was taken, food was quick, and hot. The attentiveness of the staff was good, but their smiles were absent. Must have had a long day. I got the black Mole chicken, my gf got the enchilada negras(black mole) topped with their tesajo. My dish was good, hot, and full of mole, which was delicious as well. They served it with their tiny homemade corn tortillas. They have several types of mole. My gf got the enchiladas Oaxaceñas and it looked good until I took a bite of the enchiladas. They just poured mole over the tortillas and that's where the flavor went flat. The tortillas were dry and not dipped in the sauce. Traditionally in my family, we fry our tortillas lightly in oil, or lard, and roll them in the sauce. My gf didn't even finish them. I ate all of my meal, and I took her enchiladas home. They were even worse as leftovers. I tried to order their traditional flan, but they had ran out, so I ordered their tres leches. It was ok. I was really disappointed that they ran out of flan though. All in all, this establishment was ok. The atmosphere seemed very manufactured, but I've never had the pleasure of visiting Oaxaca. The mole negro was delicious on the chicken. Seeing that It was recommended on Yelp, I agreed with the statement of picking that dish. The bathrooms were great with a good amount of stalls. I can't say that about a lot of good delicious Mexican food restaurants here in LA. They seem to be more of an afterthought with some. Reminding myself this was Michelin rated restaurant, I didn't get that same feeling with the food though. This now, will give me an excuse to look into why a restaurant is rated as such to understand why that matters so much.

Variety of patrons: girls having a meetup, families, coworkers, friends of all ages. We felt so comfortable and it was money well spent. One complaint: do something about your bathrooms.

I have had to walk over to get answers to my questions and I'm usually met with attitude. Bummer because I really wanted this place to be a Los Feliz gem and it's just not.

The building is an original piece of the City's history, boasting a menu that features their famous burritos that vary in size from a regular to a huge party size beast that can feed several. I tried the Hollenbeck and the Okie burritos on two separate occasions via pick up, as aforementioned, the service was quick, convenient and the pick up window is seamless, parking is located next to the structure and I haven't had problems getting there. Hollenbeck was good but I definitely enjoyed the Okie burrito more, I ordered the "original" size once and didn't seem to learn my lesson the second time, these burritos can feed two in Original size. 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.
