For a random stop in the AM it was decently cool for LA heat. It's a clean. They had the FIFA game on a plus. The service nice they greeted right away. Brought drinks and salsa/chips right away as we sat down. The chips were simple salsa was nice and fresh. The Jamaica agua was on the sweeter end but still tasty and refreshing. Ordered a breakfast burrito. The beans were good (had me low key drooling *smile). The food is a homemade taste it was amazing. Made me feel at home. The salsas the green was okay for my liking it had flavor but not enough spice. The red was very tasty had a spice type of heat. I suggest for people to stop by for some home style Mexican style food. read more

In my personal opinion the portions were slightly too big. The service was impeccable the staff were very accommodating for my mother who is not in the best condition physically. All the food was brought quickly and made fresh I was lurking at the cooks. The actual location is hard to find parking but is worth the walk because the local restaurant is decorated in a way that gives you things to enjoy while you eat. They keep the location very clean and friendly. read more

Cuernavacas Grill - Shrimp fajitas o fajitas de camarón - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

After seeing so much hype about Cuernavaca Grill and Nayomie on social media, I had to give it a try. Unfortunately, I left disappointed. The food looked incredible in photos, but that's where the experience ended for me. Everything was visually appealing, yet lacked the flavor to match. It felt like the dishes were designed to be photographed more than eaten. At this point, Cuernavaca Grill has built a huge social media following. I'd rather see that same energy put back into the kitchen. Maybe start with a little seasoning--the food desperately needed salt. I wanted to love it, but the taste simply didn't live up to the hype. read more

Just go somewhere else.... The food looked delicious but the taste was average. ALWAYS CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!!! Once your bill comes they change prices on you. I specifically took photos of the menu sign because the menu they provide once at the table do NOT have prices, super unprofessional and sketchy. I told my husband to ask why the prices on the receipt are different on the menu sign right above him. The cashier did NOT provide a clear response but stated that the price is based on taxes...? So the cashier added tax on each individual item and then added separate tax for the total, bizarre but also isn't this fraud? Please Stay Away!! read more

Cuernavacas Grill - Arroz tiezo - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is bad ass. Has the best food best atmosphere best Neighbourhood. Authentic, original, I'm coming back soon.

SCAM Walked in and was seated. Waitress brought out menus, none of which had prices. We asked her for a menu with prices, and she said they didn't have any, the only one was the sign over the cashier. It already felt scammy, but we were hungry. We ordered one chile relleno burrito to go, with no meat. After they gave us our food, they charged us and it rang up as $16. My wife brought it to their attention and initially they said it was because of a credit card fee, so my wife said she would pay cash. They lowered the price... by $0.84. Long story short, the food here is on par with an average LA Mexican joint. That is to say, it's ok, but nothing memorable. Couple this with their scam pricing, which is a common complaint by other reviewers, and I would definitely avoid coming here. read more

Food was bland no salt and the service was non existent. I rather go to Taco Bell that's how bad Cuernavacas Grill is.

Ordered a molcajete from this place and it was delicious 10/10! Will be coming back to this great hidden gem. Thank you all.

It was Swiftlywood as of August 1st and saw online that this place was going to have a special menu for Taylor Swift in mind. I dragged my cousins to come with me as I didn't know exactly where it was. This location is right next to the Santee Alleys. There is a car garage across the street from the restaurant where you can park your car for some payment. We unfortunately got there a little late and couldn't get a few of the drinks as they were out but the food and drinks we had were delicious. The tortillas were handmade and the meat was flavorful. I'm glad they had this event as it brought me to this location. The drinks as stated were so good that I am sad I left my drink in the table. The ambiance along with the service were great. Cute little spot you would want to try out if you have the chance. read more

the reviews are def right. There are no prices on the menu. i called ahead to ask about prices on two dishes before going in. Once we sat down i asked for prices again to make sure they were the same as over the phone and they weren't. The prices were much higher, and i said i had called and asked for prices ahead and he said that the prices are what he was saying. There is a good amount of space, but it is HOT inside. They have fans going but even if you sit near a fan the napkins and food is flying everywhere. read more

Man, where do I start. Those photos you see of yummy food do not reflect taste. This time, I was drawn by the photo of Morrjarra Playe with rive,beans Ensalada y tortillas hecha a mano.... No way this was the best meal I had in a while that met expectations. Whatever you do, stop by . Was the food good, oh hell, yeah!. And the price, well worth read more

Cuernavacas Grill - Fried mojarra frita! Aha Fried Talapia - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Their menu has no prices so they can charge whatever they want. I was charged $7.28 for a Jamiaca!!!! The food was also expensive. It's not worth it. read more

The food is off the charts.!! The service has always been courteous to us when we've shown up. And it's spacious enough where you enjoy your food in peace. Highly recommend this place!! read more

Heard about this spot came to try out the breakfast Chilaquiles Service was ok when we got there but our food took about 15-20 min which is ok if the food is going to be piping hot NOT!! Everything was cold the beans the rice my eggs!! Not to mention whatever oil they use to fry the eggs gave them a nasty taste! Was better off buying a hot dog from the street vendors! read more

Parking is a nightmare here! There are men whistling for you to go into "public" parking lots that show $3 signs and then you'll get in, and another person tosses a ticket in your car and says $20! We turned around and he seemed irate. We had to park far in order to find a somewhat safe spot (we had a lot of outlet shopping bags in the vehicle). Upon walking into the place, your met with hardworking people. They're nonstop busy abut friendly and attentive. The restaurant is worn down and the floors and grout are definitely in need of a makeover. Weather was hot and there is no AC in here. Lots of fans though. Food was large in portions and well worth the price. I ordered the chile relleno plate. HOME MADE TORTILLAS! That was a very nice surprise. I didn't care for the tomato sauce the chile was smothered in (tasted canned... the broth used to make rice also tasted canned) beans were good. The chips and salsa were not very good. Salsa didn't seem home made and chips were not fresh. It would be nice if they made their own chips and salsa. The actual salsa for every thing else was good (they have a red and a green) coleslaw in squirt bottles .. The aguas Fresca looked like it had been sitting out for some time. Ice had melted already. We also ordered the chilaquiles divorciados and that was real good also. I would recommend take out to avoid the traffic and parking situation. read more

Cuernavacas Grill - lol a joke - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I called to order and it was apparently one of the delivery guys. Number 1 super rude. Can't even take simple instructions on delivery. Once I received food I realized the prices were higher which I totally understand but even with the prices I got on the phone it still didn't match. When I brought this up when I called back now the person that Answered said it was one of the delivery guy that took your order. So it's my fault your worker doesn't know the prices. We will stop buying from this restaurant. read more

Came here for breakfast thinking we were going to have a bomb Mexican breakfast from some reviews we seen on IG but it was a total disappointment. The rice taste like if it was from a few days old, beans tasted like canned beans and the chilaquiles sauce was not good at all (green or red). My over easy eggs and Jamaica drink was good . ..... Wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Cuernavacas Grill - I ordered chile relleno plate , $16..... they didnt give me my "free" soda that came w my meal - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is a fantastic hidden gem over here in downtown Los Angeles. I walked in one day, saw that this was a very popular item they had on their menu and the rest is history. This Burrito is absolutely stuffed! I barely was able to finish it and I had to take the Molcajete home for later. No wonder why it's for two people. Actually three people could eat off of this that's how much they loaded up. Parking is a little tricky over here you're just gonna have to park in the lot and walk over. It's literally next to the Santee Alley so there's so much foot traffic around. If you're going to the fashion District and are going to make a day out of visiting, I would definitely pass by here for lunch read more

Cuernavacas Grill - Molcajete for 2 and Chile relleno Wet Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is one of my current favorite authentic Mexican lunch spots. This hidden gem is located in the fashion district/near the santee alley area. We made a stop here right before our fashion, flower district day. Their signature dish is the Chile Relleno Burrito....I've never had a burrito quite like this. All that cheese and the flavorful sauce went together so well. Portion is huge; can probably feed 2 people. I kept eyeing on their MOLCAJETE and I'm so glad we ordered this as well because it was mind blowing good. It comes with chicken, steak, (so so juicy and tender) chorizo (the best chorizo ive ever had and i dont normally like it...) shrimp, bacon wrapped shrimp WOW just wow. It comes with some flour tortilla, rice, and beans. You'll be stuffed with happy bellies for sure after your visit!! read more

Had to wait forever for the food to come & when it came the food was subpar or worse. The waitress was super rude and had an attitude when we asked what kind of drinks they had. I would never come here again this place was a waste of my time and money plus to top it off it gave me a really bad stomachache. Not worth the hassle. Would give it 0 stars if I could. read more

From all the advertising I saw on instagram, I was excited to try it. We were a party of 5 and all our food came at different times. We were there for probably 2 hrs because it took long for all the food to come out. When we asked the waitress about certain foods, she did not have answers. The area had multiple flies. Food was pricey and had no flavor We were all very disappointed read more

This place is high on advertisements by IG. And I have to say out of 10 I give it a decent 4. Ambiance wise, the place is nice and clean. Spacious, too. Lots of room to walk on. The services was good. Dencently and the waitress was really friendly. However, maybe because it's short on staff, she looked hassled and busy. However, she managed to attend us well. Food wise... I would have to say its bearable. Not as great as I thought it would. On IG the food looks super delicious, but when you taste it, it feels like it is missing some ingredients or seasoning. Again, the food is not bad, but it can be a bit better. Food came on a decent time, and it wasn't cold. read more

Waited 1hour plus for our food to be salty and not even edible. Was really disappointed at how IG really made seem like it was the best Mexican food out there. When my family and I got there the host seemed overwhelmed and unorganized. Service was horrible: didn't have napkins at the table, we had to ask for forks for our food then the waitress had attitude and seemed very understaffed. I got the chilaquiles with carne and it was too salty (we returned them) and my family got the chile rellenos (THE REASON WHY WE CAME) and they were tiny and the cheese wasn't even melted for a total of $95!! Super DISAPPOINTING and the FOOD WAS WAY OVERPRICED FOR THE "QUALITY" THEY ADVERTISE. Don't even waste your time coming to this place. NEVER AGAIN. read more

I went to this place based off a foodie influencer on instagram. I really wanted to like this place but the green chilaquiles are a disappointment. The tomatillo in the green salsa is overpowering and ruins the flavor. The only thing I ate off of the plate were the eggs. The green salsa needs new recipe. read more

Food and Service HORRIBLE!!!! Server threw me off the most . Horrible service!!! Food took over 40 + minutes to come out and on top of that forgot what we ordered and still came out wrong. Food was definitely not what we expected. Chilaquiles were Nasty! This place is definitely over hyped on tik tok. read more

Yes this place is great with good homemade tasting food and will be back soon I hope. Looking at the comments I seen a negative review from a lady Jas B she gave a bad review and then made a comment about the homeless like she is too good to be around them, she then posts a review on her page about a school not treating her disabled child right? What a hypocrite. read more

I came here from outta town as it was recommended to me. The food is ok. It lacked flavor. If you sit inside, it is extremely hot in there as there is no air conditioning. The service was ok as well. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Great food and quick service. Given the location is within the Fashion District, expect some traffic and stress finding a parking spot. This place is a great mom&pop shop hidden within the congested sidewalks of mannequins and clothes. One of my favorite details of a Mexican restaurant is how well their rice and beans taste. Hand down amazing rice&beans! If you're strolling through the fashion district, I highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

I have seen this restaurant advertised by their daughter on Instagram and really wanted to try it. First off not in the safest part of town. Parking is horrible and the parking garages will try and scam you big time. The place was busy and we did get seated right away. If you go there to cool off forget it. It was so hot in there we could not fully enjoy our food. The waitress spoke zero English so trying to tell her what we wanted to drink was impossible. We ordered the chile rellenos and have to say they were huge and not to bad. The beans had zero flavor and same with the rice. I had better that's for sure. The people were very nice and will say a good mix of people there and not just spanish. It's to far for me to go back since the food was average. I really was excited coming her but was disappointed. read more

The service is horrible. Waited 45 minutes for our food, it was cold, not the greatest food. Don't waste your time. There's so many better places in DTLA than this place. Definitely try something else. Not worth the wait read more
