    Service 5/5 Ambiance 4.5/5 Food 3-/5 Our servers were great. Food was meh. We each had 2tacos, shared the guac and taquitos. Had high hopes for the cassava tortillas which turned out to be too soft to hold taco meat & toppings. Everything was way too salty. Guac wasn't seasoned to our liking...massive amounts of salt and no lime juice. We loved the drinks though....cucumber lemonade and ginger something. Do not order the sweet potato taquitos: think baby food. With guests in town we wanted them to try LA tacos but were too lazy to drive to Ditroit Taqueria....note to self, make the drive. Ditroit is 50x better than Chulita...down to the blue corn tortillas. I'm beginning to think "a Michelin Guide" restaurant without stars means someone paid $ and you're paying for that marketing cost...in other words, 9/10 times food'll be a disappointment.

    I had been wanting to try Chulita for a while, so when my mom and I were looking for a late Saturday night bite, it finally felt like the right time. The place isn't very big. It's more of an intimate, cozy setting. We sat in the bar area and the vibe was relaxed and lively. The Coliflor Fundido was the star of the night. Honestly some of the best fundido I've had. It was rich and creamy without being greasy, and we both kept going back for another bite. The Esquites was okay. Not bad, just not something I'd rush back for like the fundido. We also had the Pescado Tacos, which had really nice flavor. Overall, really solid spot and I'm glad I finally checked it out.

    This spot immediately wins you over with its charm. It is small, but the intimacy works in its favor. The aesthetics is effortlessly curated with warm lighting, and just the right amount of trendy clean details. Definitely a restaurant that needs more attention. The menu is very limited, but food did not disappoint. Now, if you are coming strictly for authenticity, this might not fully hit the mark for you. Their menu takes creative liberties, blending flavors and presentations in a way that feels more modern fusion rather than traditional. We ordered the barbacoa quesadillas and Arrachera. I was a bit skeptical about the Arrachera as the steak is served over carrot mole. However, I am very open to trying new items. Both were very flavorful and won me over with the unique flavor. Great food, drinks, and beautiful ambiance.

    Ordered takeout here and after stepping into the restaurant, I NEED to eat at the restaurant. It is such a cute vibey spot, and so good for a date. I ordered some tacos, and my favorites were the chicken and the beef cheek. The fish was good too, but lacking in flavor and the protein portion is definitely smaller. The steak taco unfortunately was too gamey for me. The esquitas is also so good, it's super smoky and citrusy. They give you two tortillas per taco, and they give you enough protein to make two separate tacos. I will definitely be back, and I can't wait to dine in!

    After seeing Chulita on my IG ads, I made sure to add it to my list of places to try. It was a breeze to make a last minute reservation on Resy for three people on a Friday night. The inside space definitely reminded me of Tulum. If you're looking for something less traditional with very unique flavors, this place is a must! The food is good overall. I was a little bit disappointed with the esquites as they looked very appetizing but the taste was really confusing in a way. I wish there was a better way for me to describe the esquites lol. Overall, the rest of the food came out very delicious. Our food did take some time to come out but I would say it's worth the wait.

    Food was good, location of it not so good no parking and we also got lucky to have a table freely open up since we were seated with a window view until I guess they had a chance of heart. Not going to lie the food is really good just a lil out of my league. What I mean is the extra sauce and boogie flavor not needed. It's a 1 and done for me.

    La chulita is a restaurant that needs more attention because it definitely is a gem! It's located in mid town Los Angeles. The parking is kind of difficult to be honest you're going to have to park in the residential area to park if you can't find parking on the street. The ambiance is a Mexican retro style restaurant that serves and specializes in mezcal. They have other drinks which is cool but I took my mother here and we both enjoyed it . The service is on point friendly and helpful which is always appreciated The price point is mid to high but definitely worth jr and if your around the areas check them out !

    When out of our way to try this restaurant that has been hyped up on social media just to experience the disappointment on their customer service and wait time. The place has a relax atmosphere but they need to put more effort on attending to customers. We got seated immediately upon arrival no complaints there. We got seated and waited for a while to be acknowledged for drinks and appetizer, once our order was finally acknowledged our appetizer came out before our drinks. We finished our drinks and appetizer. The waiter never returned to take our actual meal order. This was not the experience we expected from a "Michelin" restaurant that clearly brags about this recognition.

    Tacos (Steak & Shredded Beef)

    We had a great dining experience at Chulita. Located in the West Adams neighborhood, situated on a corner lot. The higher-end restaurant appeal was there. The ambiance very much resembled the culture of the food. Customer service was also amazing. Our server was so on top of it, and made sure everything was to our liking. Food wise, I can highly recommend the Carne Asada (Steak) Taco. The shredded beef taco was a bit on the oily side, and very similar to birria. I'm personally not a fan, but I know that is a popular dish.

    Took my boyfriend for his birthday here & loved it!! He doesn't do spicy & they were happy to accommodate his palate. The ceviche had jalapeño in it & it was NOT spicy. Which was perfect for him (i asked for extra jalapeños on the side) they also make their own Tostadas! Their tortillas are the start of the show. They were all so different & so delicious! Our server was new & was training, he let us know up front & he did a great job. At the end of our meal we would've never guessed he was new.

    Saw this on Tik Tok and was impressed by the video. LOCATION - 4 STARS The area the restaurant is in has only street parking, which did take us a bit to find something but eventually we found something about a block away. AMBIANCE - 4 STARS The decor is really cute. It reminds me of a fancy restaurant in Tulum. The music was great. SERVICE - 3.5 STARS Took a while to be seated even with a reservation. Took another bit for our waiter to come offer us something to drink. And our waiter wasn't super friendly which kind of just made me feel a bit uncomfortable like I wasn't welcomed. FOOD - 4.5 STARS Coliflor fundido - 5 STARS - this was the table's favorite I think. It was so creamy and full of flavor. It wasn't vegan but the pureed cauliflower added to the texture. Vegan Queso - 4 STARS - it was too watered down for my liking Ceviche - 5 STARS - Hamachi is always great and the sauce resembled an aguachile sauce. The fish was chunky and great quality it was really fresh too. Chile Relleno - 4 STARS - usually I love Chile relleno but this one had too much sauce and the Chile was really hard to find. I added barbacoa and that was really good and they added a lot! Quesadillas with/ barbacoa - 5 STARS - this was probably my fave. My husband got this and I regretted not getting a quesadilla but luckily he gave me few bites to try. Chocolate Pudding - 5 STARS - Amazing...no notes. I loved the raspberry topping. The chocolate was so rich, creamy and delicious. Pumpkin Churros - 4 STARS - these were vegan (I think) but they were for sure gluten free which my mom loved. I personally don't love the pumpkin flavored items but these were pretty good. Overall, great flavors. Good vegan options. Prices are a bit high for what it actually is. I enjoyed the food here but not sure I would make the drive out here again.

    After a stroll through our neighborhood farmers market, we headed down West Adams in search of a new breakfast spot -- and we're so glad we did! The beautiful decor at Chulita immediately caught our eye, so we decided to check it out. As soon as I tried my hibiscus agua fresca, I knew we'd be coming here often. It was so fresh, and the calm, thoughtful aesthetic of the space made the whole experience even better. The chilaquiles were absolutely delicious, the steak and eggs were full of flavor, and we ordered the potatoes, which came with homemade ketchup -- it was fantastic! Raheem, our server, was incredibly friendly and gave us great recommendations. The overall vibe transported us to a luxury resort with service, just minutes from home. Absolutely recommend checking them out!

    We stopped here for brunch randomly without a reservation. It wasn't busy, so we were immediately seated. We got the guac to start with a seasonal apricot margarita. The margarita was ok, it tasted like they used mezcal instead of tequila, thy didn't inform me of that when I initially asked about the seasonal margarita, otherwise I would've ordered it with tequila instead. We got chilaquiles and the breakfast burrito as our entrees and shared a fish taco. We both loved our food. The decor gives Tulum vibes and our service was good. We will definitely be back.

It's dark but has warm lighting and really cool decor such as upside down stools and fireplaces on the ceiling. My bartenders Matt & Kelsey were super friendly & made some fire drinks. The menus are aesthetic to look at because drinks are categorized by type of liquor, each drink described in detail and each description is accompanied by a picture of what the drink is supposed to look like. However, there is no food menu just alcoholic drinks. I found parking across the street where the CVS & WholeFoods are located. I didn't have any issues, but I only parked there for about 2 hours. Right before I left, the bartenders helped me discover a secret entrance to the bar next door. When you walk in you'll notice a bookshelf, if you slide that bookshelf to the right, you'll open the entrance to the bar next door. Pretty cool! Will definitely come back again.

    I saw the Caviar Indulgence Omakase on TikTok and I knew immediately that I had to surprise my mom…read morewith this experience for her birthday. I emailed the bar to make a reservation since the online system was down, and they emailed back immediately to confirm -- and even said they would surprise my mom with an extra birthday cake! Now all I had to do was wait 3 weeks until her visit so the experience could finally happen. The day arrived and I got my mom to Maybourne Bar with her none the wiser. From the moment we stepped through the door, the experience was a 1 million out of 10. Every course is unbelievable. This is a caviar tasting in the best way -- all nine courses are topped with generous helpings of delicious N25 caviar. You get sweet, salty, savory, comfort food, upscale dining, everything comes together in the absolute best way. I especially loved the deconstructed deviled egg and the lobster roll, and the ice cream was some of the best I've ever had. The chips and dip came with the cutest miniature potato chips (although I'll admit I could have used a few more), and the caviar salmon burger was super flavorful. And, true to their word, they surprised my mom with a birthday cake -- and then surprised us both with complimentary lychee cocktails! The service was impeccable as well. Each person on the waitstaff was kind, helpful, and accommodating. We loved how descriptive they were of each dish. It was also really nice of them to decide to give us an extra 2-top so we would have room for all of the courses. This is not only an incredible tasting menu, but made even more incredible by the price. 10 courses and a glass of champagne are $85. I was honestly shocked at how much we received for under $100. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. This is a true gem in Beverly Hills. I'm already planning my next visit!

    I work across the street from the Maybourne Beverly Hills and have been a regular at the lobby bar…read more Unfortunately, I've had repeated negative experiences with one specific staff member, Elton and it has now reached a point where I feel compelled to speak up. On multiple occasions, Elton has given me poor service and a noticeable attitude. I chose to overlook it at first, but eventually I brought it to management's attention because the treatment was consistent and unacceptable. After that complaint, the situation escalated. When I returned, Elton refused to serve me altogether. He would not look at me, acknowledge me, or take my order. I was left sitting there while being completely ignored. It became so obvious that other guests sitting next to me noticed and were concerned enough to step in and ask him why I wasn't being helped and to tell him to serve me. That should never have to happen. I then asked for the manager I had previously spoken to, Leo, because I wanted to understand what was going on. I still have not received any clear explanation. What's most concerning is that this behavior feels intentional. No employee in hospitality gets to decide who they will or will not serve based on personal feelings. If a staff member's feelings are "hurt" after a complaint, that does not justify refusing service to a guest. That is not professionalism--that is the opposite of hospitality. It was honestly disturbing enough that the people next to me told me directly that it didn't feel right and that I shouldn't come back because it seemed like I wasn't wanted there. That is not okay, especially at an establishment of this caliber. I am actively trying to get in touch with someone at the hotel who can properly address this situation, because this needs to be taken seriously. No guest should ever feel ignored, singled out, or unwelcome in this way.
