You could order outside at the patio area or inside where the hallway is for the line. It's a simple menu with sandwich or tenders. You can also order beers here if the vendors or bars are packed. I just called out tenders and fries and really meant to order the sweet & spicy tenders. It came with one aioli sauce. Grab napkins if you think you will get messy. I stopped at another food place for condiments. I need mustard and ketchup for the waffle fries. Not too crazy about the cost but it tracks with the other food stands in the arena. The tenders were definitely crispy and the fries were seasoned. That's all I really ask of any place slinging out food.

Great combo

I really wanted the chicken empañada, but we got here around 2:30 PM, and they said they sold out. It seems something was going on with their supplier. We ordered the half chicken and fries and the chicken quesadilla. That marinade/sauce is so flavorful. The chicken was excellent!

Tonight, I had dinner at Dino's Chicken and ordered their famous Dino's Chicken & Fries…read more I ordered it to go, but I was so hungry that I ate some at one of the tables inside before taking the rest home and eating a little more at home. I had been craving their chicken for a while, so I finally came back today. As always, there was a long line. At first, the line wasn't moving at all, which was a little frustrating, but fortunately, it started moving much faster soon after. I hadn't been here in years, so it was nice to come back after such a long time. The chicken is definitely tasty, but unfortunately, they grilled it a little too much this time and some of it was quite burnt. I guess that's partly because they grill the chicken directly on the grill. And, too spicy for me : both chicken and fries. Parking here is always a complete challenge because the parking lot is small and there are usually so many people. But my parking luck is always amazing -- cars somehow always seem to pull out right in front of me! And once again, today, a car pulled out right in front of me, so I was able to get a parking spot easily. It felt like another parking miracle! I asked for a cup of water, and he kindly gave me ice water. I also asked if I could have one extra plastic bag, and he gave me another one without any problem. The staff were very friendly, which was good. However, there's one thing to keep in mind when getting takeout here: the chicken is so oily that the grease can actually soak through and leak all over the plastic bag. You basically have to throw the first plastic bag away afterward. That's why I'm really glad I asked for an extra bag and brought one home with me. It definitely came in handy!

Wow the interior for an upgrade

With so many amazing burger places in Los Angeles, it's hard to truly know what the best is, but…read morethanks to a fantastic lunch at Burger District a few weeks back, I for sure know this place is definitely a top 5 contender for me. My wife and I were riding our bikes around the city when lunch time approached and Burger District was the place to go. We've driven by this place a ton of times and thanks to the insanely cool artwork sign on the outside, it's been somewhere we've been meaning to try for well over a year. The inside here also has some awesome artwork that was clearly hand painted and a burger menu that allows for vegetarian options on top of all the tasty looking burgers they have to offer. With so many different burgers to pick from, I struggled a bit but eventually went with the Surf & Turf thanks to the inclusion of both beef and shrimp, a dang good combination if you ask me. The burger was piping hot when it came out and every single bite was absolutely mouth wateringly delicious. The beef was super juicy, the shrimp was great, and I can't forgot to mention the french fries on the side because those bad boys were some of the best I've had since living in DTLA. Overall, Burger District has found it's way into my top 5 LA burger spots and is definitely somewhere I'll be returning to in the future. The cool atmosphere, great food, and super friendly staff are definitely an experience I'll be taking people to experience themselves.

After waiting for a long time to finally try Burger District LA, I left completely disappointed…read more Location & Atmosphere: The restaurant is located in the Fashion District, where parking is a nightmare unless you're willing to shell out $20 for a private lot. The immediate area outside was covered in trash and reeked of urine. The location itself is tiny, run-down, and has no AC, making it uncomfortably hot inside. Seating is extremely limited to just three small tables inside and a narrow counter setup outside. Service & Food Quality: My friends and I decided to order the Surf 'N' Turf burger after seeing pictures on Yelp that made it look incredible. The food took a while to come out, which we were willing to overlook since there was only one person working the kitchen. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the wait or the pictures. As soon as I bit into my burger, I noticed a strange, off-putting aftertaste--it tasted as if an ingredient had gone bad. I couldn't tell if it was the tomatoes, the onions, or the meat itself, but something was definitely wrong. My friend had the exact same issue with his, and my other friend's patty was completely burnt. After looking into other reviews later, it turns out several people have complained about the exact same bad taste, pointing to their house sauce as the culprit. Final Verdict: Between the awful parking, unpleasant atmosphere, and downright unpalatable food, I will definitely never return. I'd much rather pay a bit more somewhere else for a decent, quality burger. Save yourself the headache and skip this place.

CaliBachi was kind enough to cater for my USC student film set and I couldn't be more pleased with the service and quality. The make-your-own-bowl style worked great with plenty of tasty seafood, chicken, and veggies. Also, their sauces were phenomenal!

The owner, Misael, and his staff (Crystal and Cindy) are so kind and cheerful. They even give my dog, GoGo, treats that distract her while I inhale my lunch. I've tried almost every wing flavor and they never miss. Now, I watch them make the chopped cheeses every day and they look incredible, but I'm trapped in a wing-induced trance.
