I grabbed Quinn's card right then and there, knowing I'd want him as one of my wedding caterers, and I'm so glad I followed through. Not only are Quinn and Carol incredibly kind and professional, but the food is phenomenal. The steak, the veggies, the mashed potatoes! Divine! They also provided an amazing chicken and veggie option for us. We had multiple guests tell us it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had. I can't recommend House of Mash enough, whether you catch them cooking around the city or hire them for your own event!

The Pernil: roasted pork is Puerto Rico's love letter to the Mexican Carnitas. Everything ordered was delicious.

Muchas gracias mis Boricuas!

I visited the inaugural pop-up event at Seoul Sausage in Downtown LA which was recommended to me by my cousin in PDX. You'll choose from a short menu of appetizers to main dishes such as the pernil asado (slow roasted pork) and the arroz con gandules (yellow rice with pigeon peas) to dessert. There is only one Puerto Rican restaurant in LA and a take out operation all in the San Fernando Valley. For those in the city who would like a taste of Puerto Rican food, follow this chef for his next pop up. Check out chef Roberto Almdovar's Instagram for the next pop up and menu. @wepapalmundo

The Pupusas I've been coming to this little pupusa stand a…read morefew times now, and I'm so glad they finally have a Yelp page! The pupusas here are so good always freshly made and full of flavor. I usually get queso con loroco and revueltas, and both are delicious and a good size. Four pupusas came out to about $12, which is super reasonable. If you order six or more, they do give a small discount, which is a nice bonus. Cortido & Salsa Options They give you two types of salsa one spicy, one mild and honestly, both are great. I usually go for spicy, but I tried both this time and loved them equally. The cortido is that yellow Salvadorian-style one, which I rarely see at other Salvadorian spots. My mom (who's actually from El Salvador) said that's the more authentic kind! Funny enough, she doesn't like the yellow cortido but she loves the pupusas here. Quick Service The lady working there is really nice and super fast. I ordered four pupusas, and she told me it would be about 10 minutes. I went inside Northgate to grab a few things, and by the time I came back, my order was ready in just about 5 minutes. Love that! Convenient Location & Easy Payment It's right in front of Northgate, so parking is easy. Most people just park in the lot since it's a quick stop. She accepts cash and Zelle, which I really appreciate because I never have cash on me. I've also texted her a few times to ask if she's open, and she actually replies, which is super convenient. Ambience It's an outdoor stand setup right in front of Northgate, small but clean and welcoming. The lady cooks everything right there, so you can see and smell the pupusas being made fresh. It gives it that authentic street food charm that makes it even better. Final Thoughts This little stand is honestly one of my favorite hidden gems. Great flavor, quick service, fair prices, and super kind people. Whether you're craving a quick bite or just passing by Northgate, definitely stop by and grab a few pupusas.

Just needs much more chicharrón inside for chicharrón con queso. My sons got beans and cheese and they loved them! This is a street vendor and looked like she was working alone so have patience even though she was pretty fast and we ordered 7 pupusas. She has a couple chairs for someone to go sit there and eat. So definitely not for a big family to eat there but take it to go and you're good! The ambiance is very street-style -- casual, noisy, and quick.

I just so happen saw it on Tock and thought I'd try it out because the menu sounded good and we want to support our local businesses as much as we can! Chef Aaron is without question a talented chef!!! We appreciated every amount of thought and creativity to put a meal like this together, on top of that making sure it is easy to prepare at home and still taste good! The quality of ingredients were top notch and the flavors were robust and perfection! The menu we had tonight is below. I'm not a gazpacho or melon fan but both dishes surprised me and we really enjoyed it. I also really liked the mushroom eggplant appetizer, and the Osso Bucco was wow! I could've just licked the au jus from the plate if I wasn't so full! Portions are very generous and the kits are very reasonably priced!! We will definitely try his other take out kit menus and once restaurants reopen and this whole COVID situation is under control, we will for sure be dining at his location! Please support our local chefs and try out Chef Aaron's take home kit which I ordered via Tock. I believe changes the menu weekly or so. Thank you Chef Aaron for an amazing dinner tonight! Until next time! - Confit eggplant, olive and wild mushroom bruschetta - Compressed heirloom melon and fresh burrata salad - Smoked Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho: Tutti Frutti farms tomatoes in classic southern Spanish style with olive oil, artisan bread, roasted garlic, and smoked paprika - Sweet Pea Risotto: regenerative farmed sugar snap peas and carnaroli rice with goat butter and reggiano cheese - Braised Osso Buco: Stemple Creek, completely regeneratively pastured, dry aged beef shank braised au jus with red wine shallots and carrots - Grandma's Graham Cracker Crust Honey Sweetened Cheesecake

Wow!!!!!!!!! My girl…read morefriend brought me to the Bull & Dragon for my birthday, and it was with out a shadow of a doubt the best dinner i have ever been treated to. The private dinner parties are hosted in Chef Aaron's back yard. It is a very adorable back yard. He has a nice little garden that is just off to the side of the dinner table, and as it turns out a lot of the ingredients come from that garden. The concept of small garden to table and to be able to see the garden that your food comes from as you eat is wonderful and really adds to a great culinary experience. As it turns out Chef Aaron bases his menus of of what is local and in season, so with that in mind i wont go into what the dishes where as you most likely wont have the same meal. Chef Aaron truly is an amazing talent. Every dish he served us was not only beautiful put together and visually stunning he really does know how to construct a perfectly balanced dish that flow seamlessly into the next course. Along with his ability to server amazing dishes he knows exactly what wine too serve with his food. In our 6 courses we where poured 3 different wines and i now have 3 new favorite wines. Chef Aaron served me the absolute best dinner i have ever had, and when that was paired with the cozy back yard setting and the fun of a small dinner party it made for an unforgettable experience i can not wait to come back and see what magic Chef Aaron has cooked up!!

Melissa is creative and passionate about quality pizza with the freshest ingredients. She will base new pizzas on seasonal ingredients, holidays, and whatever is new at that week's farmer's market, so there is always something interesting and new! I love love love the broccoli cheese pizza (just as warm and comforting as the soup, but in pizza form) and she has done other great pies with pepperoni and hot honey. I love going with friends or my husband so that we can share each other's pizzas. I've seen pizza combinations I'd never seen before or that I ever would have though of on a pizza, and they're always so delicious! Melissa fires the pizzas on the spot just for you, after ordering. She does catering and private events too. Very highly recommend!

I'm so glad these are staple pies on a rotating menu because Wow!!! Probably two of the most culinarily creative pies I've ever had and the flavors were ingenious next level. It's like an iron chef decided to open a pop up pizza biz. The Funky Buffalo nailed the balance between the heat of a wing sauce (tempered down with the brown butter) along with the salt from the bacon. Add to it the funk of a perfectly portioned amount of blue cheese on top of mozzarella and the slight crunch of pickled celery (who would think of that?) made this 11/10 perfection. Every aspect of this pie was a well thought out masterpiece. The Bahama Mama Mia was another incredible pie. The play on the sweetness of exotic fruit with a honey drizzle against the spice and saltiness of the nduja sausage was sensational. An absolute must try if you can get a second pie to share. We also got a pepperoni polka to go and of course this was off the charts. Take your traditional pepperoni and add ricotta stars, pepper jelly and basil. I was done. Best ever. Definitely giving Pizza Daughter a follow to see where I can get my next bite. A million stars.
