    Great place!!
    Alex A.

    I just love all of their drinks! They are always fresh and the variety is great! No wait in line and you can sample before buying! Also, their sweet bread is fresh and warm out the oven!!

    The service here is great, and the prices are even better! This is a fast casual, where your food is made instantly as you order. Portions were very generous, and the place was very clean and well maintained with plenty of seating and easy parking. Not much in terms of quality and I've definitely had better flavors, But the price point and service was excellent.

    Service was efficient and very helpful It was very clean and tidy. It was a true great experience. And the drinks were absolutely delicious, but Agua Fresca that's what I went for and they always deliver.

    Nice employees inside

    Grilled Chicken Torta (Torta de Pollo)

    Really good service and the staff is always nice. Chicken torta is good, as well as the rice pudding.

    Very nice interior in this location

    Never came to this Van Nuys location of their store yet. It was my first time, last Saturday on lunch time, only 2 people there eating there and a couple came in for some pastries prior to my arrival. This location is bigger, newer and looked nice. But, this one feels kinda "cold" and less authentic.. less homey vibe. Outside of this location, there was a construction work on the street. Maybe it affected the business.. not sure! I bought 4 chicken burrito bowls for me and my coworkers. Food tasted as great, but they really being skimpy on the chicken also less rice but a lot of lettuce. Therefore 3 stars. For the price I've paid I expected a bit more meat, a bit more rice. I've been a regular customer at the one on Vanowen & Sherman Way. That location is smaller, older BUT, now.. after I had been to this one, I could say I like that one much much better! That one feels more authentic Mexican, has homey & feel-good-lifelier vibes in it. For the same price, I got more bang for my bucks there.

    I was enticed to try El Gallo Giro for the first time by their July 4th weekend special offering asada tacos for $1.99, asada burritos for $7.99, and asada tortas for $8.99 occurring July 4th - 6th. Mariana was pleasant when she informed me that the special was BOGO for $8.99 and not for a single torta. I was surprised by her answer and told her it was a 4th of July weekend asada special but she did not seem to know what sale I was referring to. I looked at the ad again and told her it was okay, I would order online. I did so and promptly picked up my order. The torta was well balanced. I am still wondering why she seemed unaware of the Independence weekend offer.

    Great service by Gaby and Estephani very friendly. Clean bakery and fresh bread I will be coming back.

    Carne asada tacos
    Serene A.

    Solid but definitely not the best tacos, I come here to get pan dulces more than anything else and the customer service is always great so that's why I keep going back. It's spacious and clean and has plenty of seating if you want to sit and eat.

    I forgot to take a picture because it was too good…read more Service: always greeted with excited energy by Caribel or Tata. Caribel is the younger girl who is fast, efficient and knows how to make a bomb smoothie has been there 4+ years!!! Tata is the hands on owner who makes everything from scratch and hustles making drinks!!! They make drinks so quick they know everyones order for the most part Ambiance: cute neighborhood shop with natural light. Everytime I go in I feel inspired and glad im supporting a small business with a soul. I love their TWO dog walls. They also have out door seating with a cute umbrella and cute tree bench as well. Product quality: the owner makes salads and sandwiches from scratch DAILY- think sweetgreen/erewhon level salads with home cooked chicken! Don't get me started with Tata's vinagrettes And the protein smoothies are not too sweet which is fantastic to keep from crashing. The acai bowls are still decently portioned too. My order is: -When im low energy: Maca fuel Protein shake -feeling fruity: Berry Strong Protein shake sub Peanut Butter -feeling a sick: OG Shots -acai: House Bowl, add on Goji Berries! No Honey. Pros: -Free parking in the back -Affordable salads and sandwiches -Fast and friendly service! - can sit outside -Dogs are treated like kings and queens here Cons: -sometimes rush hour on a hot day can be longer wait times. So just call 15-30 minutes ahead and they will hold your cold drink in the fridge in freezer! -If you park at a meter without paying you will get ticketed! So just save the stress and park in the back of the shop!

Parking is street parking but I easily found a spot around the corner a short few steps away. Upon entering it's just like another yelper said, it feels like I walked into an apothecary! The vibe is so down to earth and intriguing. Staff is super friendly and helped me decided between two smoothies that I was trying to choose betwee. I ordered the Tropics smoothie which has Mango, Gojiberry, Pineapple, Maca, Chia Gel, spinach, and orange juice, as well as one Aqua shot which is Spirulina, Lemon, Chorella, and they added ginger for me! While I waited I browsed the shelves, I really love the dried hanging herbs on the wall and they have some cool books too. My Aqua shot was a beautiful dark teal color with an apple slice on top in this super cool skull glass. I initially sipped it but then I went for it and threw it down. I actually really liked it with the added ginger because it woke me up and made me feel extra healthy. On my way home I sipped on the Tropics Smoothie. I would say my first taste I think I still had Aqua shot taste in my mouth so initially the smoothie tasted extremely earthy to me. However with each additional sip, the smoothie got sweeter and by the time I finished it was pretty delicious. They have so many other things to choose from including some pre-bottled juices and waters. I wish I am in Burbank more often to stop by and try more, but I definitely will stop by next time I'm nearby!

Not sure if I'll be returning which kind of sucks because I love supporting small businesses and they we're legit last time and all the times I came before.

Ya boy has been trying to eat a little better, so I decided to make my way over the Harvest Bar instead of getting breakfast at Starbucks with my son. We were the first ones in the shop and everything was spotless. The place is small with a few barstool seats against the wall and the girl at the front desk was super nice and helpful. I decided to go with the Paradise bowl and my son went with a kids strawberry and banana smoothie. I honestly don't think he liked his, but he was also acting weird all morning. However, I thought mine was amazing and it wasn't too sweet. I would like to try some of their other items and their açaí bowl, specifically. Parking was fine but I can see it getting a little weird when it's busy but that wouldn't prevent me from going back. OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros
