    Located on Soto St., down the street from the Northgate market is this stand that you can find in the morning with a well balanced breakfast. This location has great service and ambiance is quiet for the stand itself but cars driving by at all times since it's a Main Street. This spot offers quality carnitas and at an affordable price. They also accept zelle! The burritos are amazing and the plates are well done. Order how you would like and it will be served! 8/10. The downside is the homeless people walking by, the lack of tables and proper sitting, besides the sidewalk, and the lack of parking at pick hours/ and you can't park on the street during the morning hours, before 9am. Hope you enjoy it! There wasn't a location until I established on yelp! Enjoy!

    Thought it would be better than it was. Carnitas had a decent flavor, cool ambience, but overall can find a better carnitas place.

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! Parking can be a bit challenging but drive around a few blocks and you'll find a few spaces. Worth the walk after an incredible meal. Happy eating!

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.

And I live in Portland, which has really good vegetarian options. First of all, I could eat like 75% or more of the menu as a pescatarian. I was thrilled and so overwhelmed because I normally don't have that many choices! First of all, the water was infused and was delicious. I browsed the menu and had a really hard time deciding, but ended up on the cauliflower rajas taco, the crispy shrimp taco & the vegan Korean BBQ taco. The waiter recommended the crispy shrimp taco, but I actually enjoyed the vegetarian tacos more. I love cauliflower and poblano so that taco was a great starter. So much flavor and a variety of textures. The tortillas were super flavorful too. The potato taquitos came next and I am actually obsessed. The outside was perfectly crispy, the interior was soft, flavorful & cheesy. The sauce complimented it perfectly. I can not recommend them enough. The crispy shrimp taco was really good, but I also tried a crispy fish taco and would honestly get that over the shrimp. I think there was mango or something in the coleslaw of the fish taco because it had a really nice fresh flavor to it. Last, I had the vegan Korean BBQ taco. The mushroom shreds & the flavor were just perfect. Again, as a pescatarian I have really never had Korean BBQ because it's so heavily meat focused. I truly loved this taco. If I hadn't discovered it on my last night in LA, I might've come back on my short trip. The whole place is just a vibe and the food was beyond excellent.

    perfect date night spot and apparently also a celebrity sighting zone if you keep your eyes open!…read morethe menu is genuinely wild in the best way: tacos, poke, kbbq all under one roof. plant based options too. something for everyone! we got the potato taquitos, chicken banh mi taco, korean bbq taco, crispy shrimp taco, ahi tuna poke taco, eggplant soyrizo taco, AND the mushroom taco. And I would recommend all of these (genuinely couldn't pick) drinks-wise the Cancun Fresca and the Straw-Rita were both so good!! the vibe is fun and loud and colorful in a way that just puts you in a good mood. service was great, energy was great, staff members were super friendly and would answer any questions you might have. also they have multiple locations across LA for dine in or takeout so there's really no excuse not to go!

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.

    Wow... Holbox absolutely lived up to the hype…read more From the incredible salsas to the fresh handmade tortillas, every bite was packed with flavor. My favorite dish was the Kanpachi Collar, which came with rice, beans, fresh tortillas, pickled onions, and three generous pieces of perfectly cooked collar. Building each taco yourself made the experience even more fun, and the combination of the smoky fish, creamy beans, fluffy rice, tangy onions, and fresh tortillas was phenomenal. Another standout was the Scallop Aguachile. The portion of scallops was surprisingly generous, and the bright, tart sauce complemented the sweetness of the scallops perfectly. Easily one of the best aguachiles I've had. My fiancé ordered the seafood soup, and it was just as impressive. It was loaded with fish and shellfish, making it feel well worth the price. Yes, the line was long, but it was absolutely worth the wait. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, constantly clearing finished plates and checking in to see if we needed anything else. Even though Holbox is located inside a food hall, it somehow creates the feeling of dining at a standalone restaurant. The open kitchen, the smell of fresh seafood cooking, and the constant buzz of happy diners give the space an energetic yet welcoming atmosphere. It feels casual enough for a quick lunch but special enough for a memorable meal. I already can't wait to come back and experience the chef's tasting menu. If this was my first visit, I can only imagine how amazing the rest of the menu is.

The seafood is insanely fresh, the flavors are bright and clean, and you can taste how much care goes into every detail. The ceviches and tostadas are my go-tos but honestly l've never had something here I didn't love. Everything is beautifully plated, super vibrant, and the portions are perfect for sharing (though you'll definitely want to order more than you think). It's light but still satisfying, and I always leave feeling. good, not heavy. Pro tip! If you don't feel like waiting in the long line (which can get wild), here's the move: skip it and head straight to the counter. If there's an open seat, grab it and order right there. You'll get your food way faster, and in my opinion it's the best seat in the house. You get to watch the team plate everything with so much precision-it's lowkey mesmerizing. You'll feel like you're part of the action and the food always comes out hot and fresh. Holbox is inside Mercado La Paloma, which already has a fun energy, but this spot is the star for me. Whether it's a casual lunch, a date, or catching up with friends, it always hits. Worth the hype, worth the repeat visits, and worth telling everyone about.
