    Menu summer 2026

    Loved this place. I have been driving by this place for ages, finally showed up! The style is so beautiful and clean. The bartender Efrain was so lovely and made me the best hibiscus margs, also had a nopal taco!! They had a really appetizing menu so I will return for more. Also their red and greens salsas were so very good!

    Highly recommend! The ambiance is relaxed, comfortable, and chic. The service is attentive without being overbearing. The food is generous and flavorful. What more could I want? We loved our cocktails. We loved the tacos! The hanger steak was a clear winner and the esquites were a nice side. The real kicker though was the delicious GLUTEN FREE pumpkin spice churros. Do you know how long it's been since I had a g*dd*mn dessert that good? Too long. So thank you Chulita for scratching that itch in all the right places.

    Chulita is a vibe! Stop by on Father's Day and was thankful that there were reservations (as someone eating without a father). From the start, the host and servers were super kind and friendly. The space was warm, inviting, and just felt like a good place to be in. The servers were helpful in providing me with options for what I wanted to order. I modified my breakfast burrito to add Barbacoa and it was a hit. I also tried the Tres leches waffles, which we're good. But for me, waffles with cassava flour don't really get as crisp as I would like, but the tres Leche whip whipped cream, and those fresh berries is really well set that off.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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 !

    Tacos (Steak & Shredded Beef)
    Noesh H.

    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.

    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.

    The chilaquiles, pretty but just mid
    Christina L.

    Had brunch here yesterday on Father's Day before we hit the road to spend the day with family. First off, no kids menu is a no bueno. The early morning crowd is going to have kids. Like us and two other tables around us yesterday. Next, the actual food... I see the idea but the flavor wasn't all there. Maybe you come here for the vibe or Mexican-ish dishes but nothing too authentic. I can't say we'd be back. The food was basic, the service was slow & not friendly at all. And it wasn't busy at all. So for food, I had the chilaquiles & I expressed what I wanted/didn't want on them & my husband said "same, make two of those." Still, his came out different. Not a problem he's a simple man, he ate them anyway. My tamarind agua fresca tasted nothing like tamarind. It possibly had tamarind hints, or maybe tamarind essence. Idk, it wasn't it. My daughter tried the waffle, it was okay. Maybe too healthy for her. I thought it was okay. My husband got a barbacoa taco which was tasty, and probably the best thing we had.

    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!

    Quesadillas

    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.

    Amazing cocktails with a fun, date-y ambiance…read more Went for after-dinner drinks on the weekend. Was able to get a table along the wall and was served pretty quickly with menus and water. The ambiance is pretty cool - sort of reminded me of the Portrait Bar in NYC with the paintings (albeit upside down). The lighting was the right amount of dim but not dark, and the acoustics were great - you can hear across the table. Ordered 5 different drinks between the two of us (no clue what the names are, sorry!): - a strawberry martini type drink - cocktail with fresh peaches - a tropical rum drink - a smoky whisky cocktail - a coconut rum drink Everything was on point delicious, nothing too sweet or boozy - thing the fresh fruit and herbs help quite a bit in not making something too sugary. Would definitely recommend!

    The cutest hole in the wall bar that I have found. Stumbled upon it by accident and fell in love…read morewith the ambiance. 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.

    The best dining experience in Beverly Hills I've ever had!…read more From the moody decor to the food to the service, everything was so well curated and refined. The caviar omakase is the must order thing here. Everything is very small bites, but if you are mostly there for drinks then à la carte is a good option. The omakase was fantastic - nice sized portions of caviar, paired with thoughtful items like a mini lobster roll, a salmon burger, and even ice cream. The drinks are also delightful - you can taste the notes of every ingredient and nothing was too overpowering or unbalanced. But the service is by far the main reason we'll be back. The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly, on top of being knowledgeable and presenting the menu in a well practiced way. They made this birthday dinner so special and went above and beyond. They do automatically add gratuity but I would've tipped more than that if possible. Incredible spot in Beverly Hills and more private and tucked away than some of the overly packed tourist destinations.

    Matt B. and I had dinner in Beverly Hills a few weeks back and wanted to grab a nightcap before…read morecalling our Uber home. We ended up at the Maybourne Bar in the Maybourne hotel, a solid B+ lobby bar that I'd visit again under similar circumstances. The space was attractive but the vibe was strange, if not uncomfortable. Just weirdly bright lighting and a different crowd from the usual L.A. bar scene (hotel, Beverly Hills). It was pretty quiet at 10:00 on a Saturday night, and we were able to grab seats at the bar. Service was fast and polite. We ordered a Midas Touch and a Big in Japan, both decent cocktails that cost a full $30 apiece. The Midas Touch was a colorful spicy margarita with El Tesoro Maybourne Edition Reposado, Empirical Ayuuk, Grand Marnier Louis Alexandre, saffron, lemon, and honey. Big in Japan was a Gold Rush variation with Hibiki Harmony, sudachi honey, lemon, sansho pepper, and yuzu bitters. There are better, more interesting cocktail bars all over L.A., but I'd recommend the Maybourne Bar if you're staying at the hotel or otherwise looking for an upscale bar in downtown Beverly Hills. You can get food, too, though most of it seems to involve caviar.
