    Experience (4/5 stars): *Food: got the chilaquiles w/ the red sauce and carnitas. the chips were crunchy, meat was tender, and sauce was spicy. *Price: ~$16 Overall, I can't wait to come back to try the burrito!

    Great food. Chilaquiles rojos and carnitas are delicious. Very quick service, maybe a little tricky to park your car. Place look clean and it's very busy in the morning hours

    I got here before 10am on a Sunday. There was a good constant stream of one or two people ordering food. Ordered the chicaquieless carnitas burrito + eggs for $13. Its as big as my face. I ate half and saved thee other half for another time. Taste: good. Get the red salsa (they said its spicy but it's not even mild) as it really enhances the flavor. Value: A+ Parking: bad...so try to get lucky Service: A++. Everyone was super nice and the whole setip is really clean considering that it's on the side street corner

    I've been here twice already and man, I'm not carnitas expert but these gotta be some of the best I've had. Meat is perfect along with the juiciness you get when you bite into it. To be honest you don't even need lime for this delicacy. Carnitas Tacos: 8.7

    Chilaquiles were fresh and still crunchy perfectly paired with carnitas and eggs. Service was great fast and easy. Right in Heart of Boyle Heights along Olympic. Definitely going back!

    I love chilaquiles and I love burritos... so having a chilaquiles burrito exist was just magic. Right when I walked up, a staff member greeted me with a smile and kindly took my order. The wait was very short. I ordered a green chilaquiles burrito with carnitas. So flavorful, texture was so fun (crunchy chips inside of a mushy burrito) and piping hot. I do have to say- it was very filling. I ate half of my burrito and was full for the rest of the day. $12 for fully loaded burrito- such a steal!

    Dang. The carnitas chilaquiles breakfast burrito. It's as delicious as it is unwieldy. Those tortillas have to be extra large because it's holding together a lot of stuff. This spot is a stand in Boyle Heights/ East LA that opens early most days of the week for the breakfast and lunch crowds. It's right off Olympic in close to proximity to other trucks/ spots I really love. The vibe is chill like most food stands in LA and the people are awesome. I read that is is THE thing to get here, so I ordered the carnitas chilaquiles breakfast burrito with green salsa and scrambled eggs. The carnitas is tender and oh so flavorful. It would be good on the other items on the menu. The chilaquiles is made fresh to order on skillets towards the back and is really, really crunchy. Not sure if they make their own chips, but it has the crunch similar to the chips at Superior Grocers (iykyk). I got the green sauce, because it is the more milder of the two. Just a great burrito overall in terms of flavors and textures. They cut the burrito in half and it lasted me two meals. And the price was really, really reasonable. Just a heads up, although I think the chilaquiles stays crunchy for a long time, if you are going to save any of the burrito for an extended period of time, the chips will inevitably get soft or softer. Plenty of street parking, but keep in mind that it is a busy street and people drive fast on this street.

    Second time within a 4 weeks span ran by nothing but youngsters! Hustlers pretty cool vibe everyone is nice and sociable. There chiliqules burritos is trending all over social media for a while now and I finally stopped by and I gotta say it's pretty fire the combination of the carnitas, beans, eggs freshly made crunchy chips and sauce of your choice green or red okay now that's unique. I ordered my child a plate which had basic beans and carnitas and I would rate the carnitas a 7/10 because it has no flavor what's so ever I don't thing they marinate it ‍ but over all experience 8/10 try it for yourself

    One of my stops on my LA food tour this summer. I saw this place all over IG, so had to make the stop. This place is located on the corner of a busy street. Parking sucks. I had to park a block or two down. They have a few chairs out, but I opted to eat in my car. The service was very good. The woman taking my order was very friendly, and asked me how I wanted my order. I got the burrito, with chilaquiles and carnitas. The carnitas were tender and juicy. I normally don't order carnitas. Most I've tried have been dry. This place does them right. The chilaquiles were good. They were drenched in red sauce, and remained crispy in the burrito, even with the carnitas, eggs, and sauce. Definitely recommend to anyone in LA!

    Ayo!!!! Ok Los Chingones has been on my Breakfast Burrito Bucket list forever. I've never had a Chilaquiles Burrito and today my wishes came true. They give you a choice of Red or Green Sauce, I selected Verde. Then choice of meat and I selected Chicharrones which is only offered on the weekends, then choice of how you want your eggs cooked, I chose over medium, then it comes with beans and sour cream. Wow Wow Wow!!! This burrito was one of the best breakfast burritos i've ever had with the crispy chunks of the salty chicharrones with crispy skin, The chilaquiles that was not soggy, the eggs with the runny yolks, beans and sour cream all married together to perfection. 10/10! I am coming back forsure as you should as well. The Watermelon drink was so refreshing and not overly sweet. Street parking and Zelle was accepted. Run to the spot asap!

Now when you pull up originally you might think, "am I in the right place" but once you park and get into the courtyard, it is LOVELY! Amazing ambience! There is a bocce set up, string lights. It is a little slice of oasis in the middle of the fashion district. The restaurant itself - beautiful. I couldn't ask for more. Absolutely perfect in my book. Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried. Unfortunately my friends had gone to Funke the night before so they were comparing the squash blossoms and Funke won out, but they still liked Dama's! Small plates were enough for the 3 of us. The service was quick and attentive. Parking was easy for us. I will definitely be back!

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!

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!).

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.

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.
