    Chile Relleno. Jícama
    Karie F.

    We went here yesterday after letting the kiddos play next door at Funhouse. The food was amazing! Authentic, freshly made and delicious! I have the Carne Molcajete with rice and beans, my friend had the Chile Relleno, kids had chicken nuggets and fries. My dish was so delicious, with homemade tortillas. I felt like I was sitting at someone's kitchen table. My friend's Chile Relleno was amazing too. She is Mexican and LOVED the food as well. The only thing I could say I wish were better seasoned are the refried beans. The Jicama was also delicious. I have a picky toddler who ate 4 of those chicken nuggets. That says a lot! Fries were good, and a good batter and good quality chicken in the nuggets. Food was def 10/10. Service was fast and friendly also! Can't wait to go back!

    I came here and this place did not disappoint. I got the Birria de Chivo with consome on the side. It was amazing!! The portion was extremely filling and the home made tortillas were a great touch. Amazing value for the huge portion you get. The pineapple aguas Fresca was great to wash it all down with!

    This is the best birria place in town. I tried the goat birria, and it was amazing. La mejor birria d chivo en el valle.

    A couple Tips from Pancho should you decide to come check this place out. 1) Correct address is 6643 Van Nuys Blvd, not 6641 as listed on Yelp, yeah not far off but.. 2) You DO NOT enter from Van Nuys Blvd, you must go around back and enter from the parking lot area. 3) Yelp has this place is listed as "$$ - $11-$30" wrong again, it's your typical "$" Mexican food spot. I love me some good Birria, haven't had any in a while so I just had to stop on in and check things out, peeps were friendly and food arrived pretty quickly. Birria de Chivo en Caldo - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/birrieria-lupita-van-nuys#GMqu2Arrbau_GS6qvyaPow You can order your Birria on a plate with a side of rice and beans or as a soup with broth! I prefer it this way, I think a good broth makes the dish. Caldo/Broth was clean, meaning not a bunch of fat floating in it, had real nice flavor, the meat Chivo that's Goat http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/birrieria-lupita-van-nuys#xeMN__i538m_-2XVtQXA7Q for you gabachos, had a little fat not much, but did have bones, some like the bones I prefer not, overall a very good Birria de Chivo and would definitely come back. 4-Stars Tortillas de Maiz Hechas a Mano - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/birrieria-lupita-van-nuys#XBQ31puYeB2w5oiCt0xCOQ Very thick hand made corn tortillas, that were s-l-i-g-h-t-l-y undercooked for my liking. They also have some nice house made salsa, just ask for a Hotter one than the default one they bring out with the chips!

    Our plates on different occasions. Delicious!

    My husband and I LOVE this place! We come here maybe once or even twice a week. #1 It's CLEAN. The floors, tables, walls, everything is kept nice and spotless. #2 The service is great. The waiters are very polite and helpful when choosing what to get. #3 It doesn't take long for food to come out. This place does get busy- but even then it never is unreasonable. #4 Most importantly, the food is fresh and tasty. No frills, just authentic Mexican food.

I recently tried out El Cocinero's food at an event that they catered to. As a person who eats meat and is not restricted, I would come here for the good food. The vegan al pastor had chunks of pineapple and it is seasoned and cooked to taste just like the meat version. The texture is just a little bit different but it does resemble a lot like meat. The vegan pastor also tastes just like the meat version, just less "smoky" and the texture is softer. The rice is flavorful and fluffy. The beans are seasoned just enough to have flavor but not compete with the other dishes. The creamy chipotle sauce was perfect topping the rice and beans. I do like vegan food but the only reference I had with Mexican vegan are places that try to add fake cheese and lean heavily on beans and rice. This business shows that you can still have all the flavors and not rely on cheese and meat. They focus on the flavors and not what would make non-vegans feel comfortable. Initially, I was going to give this first time experience a 4 star review so that it encourages me to go check out the restaurant so I can add the service and the ambiance. However, I was lucky enough to bring home leftovers and as I was eating it, the food tastes better. Had to add the extra star!

I stumbled upon Monarca on Yelp and we decided to try it out! We arrive and are nicely greeted by one of the employees at the counter. The inside was clean and well kept which we love. My wife and I ordered 2 breakfast burritos and the green chilaquiles. She got the Deluxe burrito and I got the chorizo. We bring them home and open up the bag and these things are MASSIVE! In the best way! We begin taking bites and are both amazed. Me a little bit more. I really really enjoyed this burrito. Maybe because it has rice instead of potatoes, I'm not sure, but it was delicious. My wife also really enjoyed hers; she gave it a 7.5 out of 10. I give my burrito a 9/10. Our chilaquiles were a whole other story and flavor profile. The carne asada that came with it was life changing. Whatever seasoning they used on tha carne asada is perfect. My wife was deeply impressed. The sauce, the chips, the eggs, beans and rice were all very very good as well. All complimented each other very well. If you're ever in the van Nuys area, please stop here for breakfast, you won't regret it!

    Lovely spot for Mexican food with fun vibes!…read more I came for Sunday brunch/lunch with some friends. I made a reservation through Yelp a couple days beforehand and there was plenty of availability. The restaurant is located right off Ventura Blvd and has an attached parking garage in the basement which can be accessed via the parking lot behind the restaurant. There were plenty of spots available Sunday afternoon when I came. It's a bit hidden, but there is an elevator from the garage to the top level where the restaurant is located as well. We had two babies in strollers with us, so I requested a table with plenty of space nearby for the strollers. They seated us outside on their covered patio, and indeed, we had plenty of space. I peeked inside and there's also a nice lounge area with a beautiful flower wall as well as a proper dining area. When we arrived, there was a live DJ spinning tunes. I assume he's there during brunch hours, as he left around 3 pm when brunch ended. I started with a frozen lime margarita ($12). It was okay; it felt like it was only half frozen as the ice wasn't blended that well. For my main, I got the famous Anejo carne asada and shrimp plate for $40. Yes it was pricy, but the portion size was also huge! I was starving and somehow managed to finish the plate, but it'd be a great dish to share for two people with small appetites. I really enjoyed it as well. I asked for the steak to be cooked rare, and they didn't overcook it. Each bite was super tender and flavorful and paired well with the rice. Everyone else also enjoyed their dish. One friend got the wet chicken burrito for $15 and it was massive! Another got the veggie fajitas with steak added and really enjoyed her dish as well. Solid food all around. I would love to come back on a weekday and try their happy hour! Sipping on $5 margaritas and $6 sangrias sounds like my idea of a great time!

Despite it being the middle of the day and a Tuesday it was still hard to find parking and we parked on the side streets and walked. The main entrance is not well marked and we were pointed to the side door. On entering it was nice and air conditioned and we were seated quickly. Menus are on the qr codes on the table but the menu is hard to scroll through because you have to click each different items to look at and then scroll down and up. We asked for regular menus to make it easier and we were given menus that had hole punches throughout from punching out all the prices because I'm assuming prices have gone up. I hope that they could make the virtual menu a little easier to look at since i think they might be phasing out their physical menus. While we waited on our order we were given delicious chips and spicy bean dip which were excellent. So delicious. For salsa we were directed to the salsa bar. While I think the bar is cool, the tiny cups to get salsa are too small. I would have liked the bean dip sized bowl to get enough, instead of having to get several tiny cups which are hard to scoop from with the chips. I orderd the #7 which was a cheese enchilada, a crunchy beef taco, and rice and beans. My friends ordered two different taquitos plates, one orderd a fajitas plate, and the youngest got cheese quesedilla. My food was delicious but the portion was so large that I could only eat the taco and take the rest to go! Same with My friends, everyone ate maybe a 3rd to a half of the plate and then we all needed to go boxes. Overall a very delicious visit!
