    My wife dish.

    Born and raised in East L.A. I have had the opportunity to experience different types of Mexican foods. Eating the food in East L.A. makes me proud of tradition. All my life my parents have taken myself and my two brothers to East L.A. to eat good authentic Mexican food that bring back memories of my childhood. My wife and I went the Blvd Cafe in East L.A. on Whittier Blvd this street has lots of history since before my wife and I were born. My dad told me the restaurants were call hole in the walls or a diamond in the ruff. These were restaurants that cooked traditional old school Mexican food from different part of region of Mexico. Stepping in the restaurant it feel going back time with rich with history of Whittier Blvd. At time we went in the restaurant was busy with family and a tradition Mexican meal. We were seated right away the menu was really simple to understand. We look at the menu and what we like to order my wife decided to order the Nopals con huevo in english is cactus with eggs. I decided to order the chilaquiles con huevo con salsa verde it's chilaquiles with egg with green salas. The waitress bought us our meal wow I say it looks like be made by the traditional way. I took a bite of my chilaquiles it was so good so many flavors in the salas verde and crunch of the fried tortilla but the egg tops it. I really enjoy it the dish. My wife enjoy the nopals con huevo very much. My wife and I need to come back again soon and try another different dish but also come in early and beat the crowed.

    This spot is a bit hard to find. It blends in with the rest of the stores on Whittier blvd. Once you find this spot you won't regret it. This is like a mom and pop shop/home made food if you will, very delicious. I usually come on Saturday/Sunday to get the menudo plate. The prices are very reasonable. I've tried the taquitos/flautas, and the tortas de pollo. All of the things I've tried have been excellent. Once you sit down to eat they serve you chips and salsa. The salsa is really good but spicy. They do serve to go plates as well. The environment is really laid back and welcoming. They have a/c. The best part is they make the orders pretty quick so you don't wait long.

    Disappointed...

    How this place is still in business, blows my mind. From the canned beans to the canned green sauce on the chilaquiles, far from meeting any type of expectation. Below average bland, tasting food leaves it's patrons disappointed. Hole in the wall but the authenticity and flavor is not there. Look elsewhere if you are in the area.

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.

Located between Koreatown and Pico-Union, this restaurant delivers an outstanding dining experience from the moment you're seated. My wife and I both ordered the Mole Coloradito with chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. One detail we really appreciated was being able to choose between white meat or dark meat--a thoughtful touch that lets you customize your meal to your preference. The mole was rich, complex, and full of flavor, exactly what you would hope for from a restaurant known for its Oaxacan specialties. As a welcome appetizer, they bring fresh chips and salsa to the table, but what really impressed us was when they replaced the salsa with their incredible mole sauce. It was so good we found ourselves dipping everything into it. Both meals were served with rice that was perfectly cooked with a great consistency and flavor. For those feeling adventurous, give the Chapulines (grasshoppers) a try. They may sound intimidating, but they were surprisingly enjoyable and added to the authentic experience. The staff was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and patient with those of us who are not fluent in Spanish. Their hospitality made us feel comfortable and welcomed throughout our visit. Great food, authentic flavors, and wonderful service make Guelaguetza a restaurant we'll definitely be returning to. Highly recommended!

As soon as you walk up the stairwell you'll be transported into this super cute place with an outdoor-indoor feel, almost like an elegant treehouse. We were seated on the second level which provided a Birds Eye view of the restaurant. We ordered a few items to share: Cameron ceviche, flautas and for our sweet tooth, French toast paired with a mango sorbet surprise with a candle for our birthdays (tip: we drizzled the melted sorbet on our French toast and took small scoops with each bite - game changer!). Everything was so delicious! We also ordered mocktails, a miche-nada for him and a lemony drink for me. This experience wouldn't have been as great without the exceptional service we had. Our waters were always refilled without asking, our tables were cleaned with every dish, honestly top-notch service!

While it is definitely on the pricier side, the flavors are extremely unique and delicious, making it worth the splurge for a special night out. My only real bummer was discovering they took the vegan ceviche off the menu--that was actually the whole reason I came back! I'm sure they have their reasons, but I was pretty disheartened to see it go. Overall, the menu doesn't have a ton of vegan items, but they do have some room for adjustments if you ask. Despite the menu change, the incredible atmosphere and unique menu still make it a must-try.

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.
