THE BEST VEGAN Tacos ever!!! Soooo good!!! I drive all the way from Compton for them. They are really good! Amazing. The pricing is also very affordable. The staff are always so friendly and willing to accommodate any diet needs. This restaurant is a monthly visit for me 100/10 read more

This one was tough... The place itself is a hole-in-wall, blink-and-you'll miss it, type. Clean little spot. The employees were extremely friendly and welcoming. The food however, was meh. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't good enough for me to want to come back. Which was a major bummer, because this place is close to me, and like I mentioned, the staff was great. I might come back and try something else, but I'm not exactly in a rush to do that. I'll update if anything changes though. read more

VERY yummy Mexican food! They have a full vegan menu and are able to do substitutions so you can customize your meal how you want. My sisters and I got burritos and enchiladas with the veggie carne asada. It was sooooo good! I got the red sauce on top and it was a bit too tomato-y if ya know what I mean. I would prob get the green sauce next time. The space is really cute, cozy, and welcoming. Service was super friendly too! There is a parking lot and we were able to find a spot woop woop! Came to $70 for the three plates not including tip read more

This place was a super great addition to the neighborhood! I was craving chips and salsa so we gave this spot a try based on the reviews. It did not disappoint! Honestly everything was amazing. The guacamole was delicious and the salsas were super flavorful. I had the carnitas which were delicious with crispy bits and handmade tortillas. We also had a tamarindo (excellent) and the capirotada was soooo good. I did not get our servers name unfortunately but he was so nice and attentive. There's a small parking lot in front and metered parking along 7th and western. The place is small and intimate. We will absolutely be back soon! read more

I was so happy to see a full vegan menu, especially to see vegan enchiladas. Enchiladas have been and will always be my favorite food, and it's nice to enjoy them even now that I am vegan. The restaurant is small and cozy. Although there is not much seating, I think this place is worth visiting when there is space available. I came in a weekday afternoon so there weren't too many people. The service is lovely, the food is delicious (and filling), and the vibes are wonderful. Other vegan offerings include tacos & quesadillas, pero también sirven pozole, burritos, tacos y más con carne/pollo/pescado. read more

the worst experience! Took 45 minutes to make my food and it wasn't busy. Ordered 2 burritos and both didn't have what I asked for and asada was still rare with 2 different types of rice inside. Asada tacos was really chewy only good thing was the homemade tortilla. Ordered a shrimp bowl and shrimp was under cooked. FYI if you're a burrito type of person burritos are small. read more

I came here during the first week or two it opened so I wanted to come in and support. I ordered tacos de carnitas and an horchata. For the price I felt like I got scammed and I was only given one lime wedge. The horchata was one of the worst I've ever had I was honestly surprised that a restaurant could mess up horchata but I guess it's possible. I have not been back since. read more

I came here for the first time with my mom, we have been trying to come eat here and we finally did today. The place is very clean. The server is super sweet. It is next to a pho place. The food was delicious. Everything tasted fresh and made with love. I definitely recommend coming here. Will come again :) yummy read more

Found another hidden gem in Koreatown! Don't be fooled by how it looks inside because everything we had here was amazing. We ordered the chicharrones to share and it was super tender and delicious along with the sauces that came with it. For our main, we got the filet mignon/fish tacos mixed plate and the filet mignon burrito and both were very filling and left us with a happy tummy! It was a pretty warm day so we also enjoyed the Jamaica and Tamarindo agua fresca. It has very limited free parking on their lot but you can find some street parking nearby. Henry and Carlos the chef greeted us when we came in and they made sure we were taken care of. Love this place and you already know we will be returning customers! Definitely found a new fave Mexican restaurant. read more

Saw that a new mexican restaurant opened up and had to come by and try it out. The interior is cute and simple but the food is stellar. We were greeted by Henry and met Carlos the chef. Henry recommended the Agua Fresca's which were absolutely amazing. Both the Hibiscus and Tamarind ones were delicious. For appetizers we got the Chicharrones which came with 3 different house made dips (guacamole, avocado salsa, and another salsa). Henry also brought us a house made hot sauce which was also amazing. I ended up getting the filet mignon burrito which was a standout for me since I'm a sucker for a good burrito. It was so flavorful I didn't really need much sauce or salsa. This is easily going to be my new go to Mexican spot. The service was great and the food didn't miss once. read more

If I could give more than five stars, I would! This is a great new local gem! Welcome to Koreatown. Don't be fooled by the plain decor, because the food there is anything but plain. Everything we ate was so good and we left so full. Our favorite part about this restaurant is its dedicated vegan menu. The owner explained to us how there are dedicated cook spaces and refrigeration for vegan items so there is no concern for cross contamination. This is going to be our new regular spot! read more

Great vegan options! Came here after seeing they have a separate full-page vegan menu. They told me they actually have a separate fridge, grill, and fryer for the vegan stuff. I got a 2-taco plate - it's $18 for two tacos and rice and beans, add $1 if you want two different kinds of tacos - which I did - cauliflower popcorn and fried sweet potato. They were both very good. I especially loved the fried sweet potato and how it went with the nopales. The beans come with vegan cheese on them and were very tasty. At first I thought it was expensive for two tacos but then it was so filling I was uncomfortably stuffed and still had half my beans and half a taco left - so you could maybe even make two meals of it. Service was friendly and quick. If you are especially sensitive to noise you might want to get takeout, They have two TV's playing two different things - I asked for one TV to be muted - they were willing to turn it down which helped a lot, but it still was not the most pleasant, especially when both TV's were playing different ads. I think one TV is supposed to only play music videos but it had frequent ad breaks which clashed with the sports program. The restaurant is in a little strip mall with several parking spots. They were full but I was able to find street parking around the corner. read more

Omg the elote was perfect! My sister enjoyed her Mole de Pollo a bit spicy but not so much just the right amount. The carne asada tacos were tasty and tender too. I made the right choice ordering the green beef enchiladas read more

The food here is good. My kids really liked the corn. It's buttery and the cheese is bomb! Hubby loved the carne burrito, but the portion of his chicharrones was small. The vegan taquitos are good but I wouldn't get them again. The beyond meat overpowers the idea of the taquito, and thats the problem (for me) with vegan food. Overalll, savory and satisfying dishes. Would definintely be back for the corn and a burrito for my mans. Service was good when picking up. read more

A friend and I went for lunch on a Sunday and I'm so glad we chose this place! Guacamole and chips were delicious. I had a carne asada bowl and she had carne asada tacos and both were great! The food was very fresh and tasty. She also really enjoyed her Horchata. Inside was on the smaller side, but nice and clean. Chairs were really comfortable. Service was great and the food came out promptly. Would absolutely eat here again! read more

This time around we had the Chicharrones and steak quesadillas. The Chicharrones were a treat, melded in my mouth with some awesome sauces to go with. I'm a quesadilla fan and this one is just what you want. Slightly crispy, with wonderfully fillings. The steak was perfectly done. I'm stuffed! Wish I had room for dessert. read more

Living in Koreatown it's hard finding a good spot that has Pozole , luckily I found this place . The pozole had a great flavor to it , the maiz was cooked to perfection but the meat didn't really have flavor ( I didn't order a lot of meat , more maiz then meat but the little pieces I did get didn't have flavor ) . Also payed 20$ and the quantity was a little disappointing , had more juice than anything . Other than that place was great . read more

Updates: Chilaquiles, Steak & Egg and some tacos. Much better than the first time we ordered via Door dash. The beans on that steak & egg platter, were amazing. The chilaquiles were my favorite, the red sauce goes so well with the egg and cilantro and onion. Just so savory. I do hope that the quality of food stays the same at this place and the way the food is made also. Small hole in the wall but such a good find. Service was good. I do just want to add that the water has a smell to it, idk if it's how they are cleaning the cups but whatever it is, they should figure it out because it isn't pleasant. It's been twice already since we've eaten here and experience it. But other than that everything else was good. read more

Great New Mexican Spot in K-Town! A fantastic new Mexican restaurant just opened here in early November. Located right in the heart of K-town, it's a perfect, tasty break from all the Korean food. I ordered the carne asada burrito and it was absolutely delicious! The steak was tender and full of flavor, and it was wrapped up with all the perfect fixings. I would definitely order it again. Friendly service and a clean, casual spot. I'm excited to have this new option in the neighborhood and will be back soon to try more! read more

Buena Comida Mexicana is the neighborhood restaurant I didn't know I needed, but now can't live without. Tucked into a freshly spruced-up corner spot across from the Wiltern Theatre, Buena Comida Mexicana feels like walking into your coolest friend's kitchen, who just happens to be a Michelin starred chef. Décor is refreshingly unfussy--sleek tables in a spotless dining room --so the spotlight stays exactly where it belongs: on the plates. A loop of throwback and new-school pop videos play on the flatscreens. Of course one screen will be dedicated to fútbol if an important match is playing. What to order (a.k.a. the reasons my taste buds are still sending thank-you notes): * Chicharrones Appetizer - Thunderously crunchy outside, impossibly juicy inside. Order one for the table or be prepared to give out side-eye to everyone stealing yours. * Shrimp Fajitas - Jumbo actually means jumbo here; think plump prawns sizzling on a cast-iron runway with stretchy, fundido-style cheese that takes the dish straight into "drop-everything" territory. Serves two if you want to have any chance of ordering dessert. * Birria - My husband scarfed the whole bowl but spared me a sip--rich, beefy broth with a slow chili build that warms every cell in your body. * Korean Popcorn Chicken Tacos - Sweet-tangy glaze, crackly batter, and pickled cucumbers & radish for some snap. * Horchata - House-made, cinnamon-kissed, and served in a glass almost big enough to be a flower vase. Chef Carlos runs the kitchen like a flavor lab, and Henry's floor presence is honestly akin to the service of a high end restaurant with a Maître d' and French accents: water topped off before you notice, menu tips delivered without a trace of upsell. You feel genuinely looked after, which is rarer than it should be. Damage report: Entrées hover around $25--a bargain once you see the portions. Weekday warriors: the $18 Lunch Combo is practically a public service. Pro moves: * Grab parking out front, catch a pre-show dinner, and you'll glide into the Wiltern with a happy food coma. * Ask nicely and they'll tweak dishes (gluten swap, extra heat, etc.) without breaking stride. * Do not skip the chicharrones--trust me. Buena Comida Mexicana is already serving A-list flavors with backyard comfort vibes. Thankfully you can still check them out before they Go Viral and the line wraps around the building. read more

Wonderful food and amazing service. Great stop to visit The Wiltern theatre. Quick service to get in and out with feeling like fast food.

Excelente lugar !!! " "BUENA COMIDA MEXICANA" Es uno de mis lugares Favoritos en Koreatown, aunque hace poco tiempo abrieron sus puertas este restaurante, se a posicionado en uno de mis favoritos. El ambiente es magnífico; Chef Carlos y Henry de Manager te consienten y te hacen sentir como en casa ... y la comida es FABULOSA, las porsiones de cada platillo son bastante GENEROSAS, el Sansón el Sabor es único! Cada ingrediente hacen de tu paladar una fiesta de saberes. Los chicharrones, el mole, el pozole, el guacamole, las ensaladas, BARBACOA uy uy uy sus salsas, la birria, el CEBICHITO ...!! Ay papá. ... ! Solo de acordarme se me hace agua la boca .. lo recomiendo un por ciento. Prometo no se arrepentirán de visitarlo .. YUMMY YUMMY read more

Henry was great with my family! He was very patient. Delicious food and lots of options on the menu.

The owner is very nice and there is a tiny parking lot, which is also nice. The vegan food is really tasty too! It's kind of pricey. I think if they knocked a couple of dollars off each meal, I might be more inclined to go there more often but, that's me. The food is good, so go check it out! read more
