    MUY RICO! I always drive by this restaurant and hadn't had the chance to try it out until now. They have a small parking lot in the back and you can also find street parking: I went right at lunch time so it was a little busy but we managed to find a table to sit at. I ended up ordering chilaquiles verdes and my friend ordered the huevos rancheros, the food came out promptly and looked amazing! We also ordered agua de guayaba which was delicious. The chilaquiles verdes had the perfect amount of sauce and they weren't very spicy, the huevos rancheros were perfectly made as well and came with a side of tortillas. Definitely give this place a try if you want authentic Mexican food and of course support a local business!

    Better late than never is how the saying goes. However, I'm kicking myself for not coming here sooner, but I'm glad I finally did. If you are looking for good, authentic Mexican Food Chico's is the place. In addition to the tables of happy diners, there was a steady stream of people coming in to pick up to-go orders. The place is small & quaint, and the festive décor adds to the appeal. The chips were fresh, and the salsa was flavorful. I ordered the Camarones a la Diabla and it was fantastic. You can request the level of spiciness - extra spicy for me, please. The Diabla sauce was addicting - I wanted to lick the plate. The shrimp were juicy & tender. The Spanish rice was fluffy, and the refried beans were creamy. Both were tasty. The homemade flour tortillas were fresh, warm, & soft - perfect for soaking up all that yummy sauce. After my meal I had the pleasure of speaking with the owner Alberto, who told me this family-owned restaurant opened in 1991 and he's been working here every day since. He loves his customers and the community, and they all love him back. During the pandemic they asked him how they could help, and he said, "Order food," so they did daily in order to keep this beloved neighborhood gem afloat. Their dedication is an attestation to how good the food is here. The 5-star reviews are legit. *Beer & wine only. *Small parking lot or street parking.

    I grew up in Highland Park and lived walking distance from Chico's. As a kid, I never got the chance to try it, but I'd always pass by -- whether walking home from school, church, or just around the neighborhood. Now, years later, I came back to visit my small hometown -- which has definitely changed with gentrification -- but I was so happy to see Chico's still standing strong after all this time. And after finally eating here, I understand why. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted warmly by the owner himself -- super welcoming and down to earth. I couldn't decide between two dishes, and when I asked for a recommendation, he offered to combine them: green enchiladas and carne asada on one plate. That alone deserves 5 stars! The food was absolutely delicious. Even my brother, who ordered the chilaquiles, couldn't stop raving about his plate. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. The space is small but clean and charming, with a nostalgic vibe that instantly made me feel at home. I'll definitely be coming back every time I visit Highland Park. This place is a gem -- and it's easy to see why it's been around all these years.

The Peruvian food is still as good now as it was then. I ordered the Aquadito de Pollo which is a chicken soup with a distinct herbal flavor. There is plenty of tender chicken in the soup. It was a good start to my main which was Saltado de Pollo, my favorite. The dish was nicely prepared with a good ratio mix of chicken, onions, tomatoes, and French fries. It was not too salty at all. Rosty seems to make an exemplary Saltado de Pollo. The Chicha Morada was refreshing with the meal. I would return to Rosty if I am in the area again. Dining areas are comfortable with staff being friendly and efficient. The neighborhood looked gentrified with many other businesses in close proximity to explore. Street parking is usually available on the side streets if none is found in front of the restaurant.

    Went for Dine LA lunch and really enjoyed the experience and getting to try all these dishes…read more Service was very friendly and food came out pretty fast. The restaurant has a nice, natural light filled space, and though it was busy, it wasn't too loud. It worked out well to go with two people so we could try almost all the options... - Scallop aguachile, avocado, salsa macha verde: Came with two shells, each with a little scallop, avocado, zucchini, radish, cilantro. Nice and refreshing to start. - Strawberry and vanilla French toast fingers, pistachio marzipan: A very generous portion of French toast with strawberry jam and pistachio sauce. Nice and crunchy crust. It was an interesting contrast to the aguachile first course! - Crab cake eggs benny: Two poached eggs on crab cakes. This was good, nothing unexpected, though I was getting pretty full at this point. - Summer berries, Scottish shortbread, white chocolate mousseline: This was the only dish we were disappointed by. The shortbread was pretty bland and the texture was lacking crispness. - Profiteroles, vanilla ice cream, strawberry ice cream, hot fudge sauce: Simple dessert but put together well. We both also ordered Purple reign cocktails, which went well with brunch. Overall it ended up being quite a bit of food and a good value for two.

    The decor was nice and the presentation was good as well. The food was good, not great, good…read more Brussels sprouts were super sweet, like would you like a dash of brussels with your caramel sauce. (Perhaps if it has to be that sweet balance it with spice) The mussels were bland, I hope they add salt and pepper next time. The fish was excellent though, perfect, no notes, we all loved that. So good. We asked to start with the oysters and focaccia, then the mussels and for our main course the fish and brussel sprouts. Mind you there are 3 other tables in the entire place at 8:30 on a Saturday.. The first thing to come out of the kitchen was the main course side, the brussel sprouts. We reminded the waiter this was for the main course. He just stood there genz staring. I asked nicely if it would be OK to keep those on the warmer until the main course is served, he silently took them away. Then not 3 minutes later all of the food was delivered except the oysters, our appetizer. It kinda ruined the experience for us forcing us to eat every at once, quickly before it was cold. Killed conversation, Killed the vibe. And if was coursed properly we probably would have ordered another bottle of wine. So it Killed the bill and the tip too. It wasn't busy at all on a Saturday night, so it's not like the kitchen was slammed and accidentally pushed everything quickly. The oysters came out last, and we never got the focaccia, nuff said. We didn't bother complaining. We didn't want to be difficult and we aren't looking for a freebee. But at that price point they should know how to course a meal. Sad, but I don't think this restaurant will be here in 6 months. So go now if you have been wanting to try it.

The potatoes in both the salmon dish and the papas bravas dish were cooked to perfection, and the pan con tomate had this perfect crunch to it. This restaurant is beautiful as well, whether you're inside or out in the alley at sunset where you get sky and Mountain View's and an alleyway lit with string lights. It's a beautiful setting. I would definitely come back and adventure to try more things on their menu.
