    Our delicious spread!
    Hattie S.

    Well we just found our new GO-TO burrito taco spot!! Don't let the exterior of this place fool you. It packs a delicious punch! I can't believe it took us this long to stumble in and give it a try. The staff are truly some of the kindest I've ever interacted with in LA. And the food is authentic Mexican and DELICIOUS! Burritos- YAY!!! Just do yourself a favor and get these. They are so tasty, and huge! I ate mine for breakfast lunch and dinner! They come with a jalapeño salsa that is Tacos- YAY! Delicious! They come with all the fixins' and are so fresh! They also have two tortillas which makes it so much easier to eat! Complimentary chips and salsa!!!! Sooo good! The salsa is YUM

    Shared a shredded beef burrito and it was delicious. The meat was tender and savory. Also received complimentary tortilla chips and two different types of salsa. The waitress was on break so the cook came and took care of us. He was very friendly.

    Carnitas Nachos without Chips Lettuce instead.

    One of the best places in Los Angeles. Long time customer. Tacos are solid. One of the best breakfast burritos you can have.

    Chorizo Taco, Asada Taco, and Adobada Taco
    Sam M.

    These tacos were delicious and affordable!! I highly suggest getting the Adobada, Chorizo, and Asada tacos from Frank's. Those are the meats the server suggested, and she was absolutely right to suggest them. The service was quick and friendly. The ambiance of the place is about what you'd expect for a quick-stop taco shop! Free chips and salsa was a plus.

    horchata:)
    Selah T.

    Got to meet Frank! the man himself! He was so kind :) My friend and I came by here for brunch one Saturday and we're delighted with our orders. I 100% recommend the breakfast burrito and horchata! The overall ambience was very chill, big mom & pop vibes. Definitely will be coming back :)

    Caldo de res
    Alfie E.

    Just an update that Frank's brought back caldo de res on Wednesdays and menudo on Saturdays! Perfect for these recent rainy days and for those times when you want to watch your carbs. The caldo is slow cooking all day and the beef end up tender. The vegetables are cooked perfectly and the broth is so flavorful. Make sure you squeeze fresh lemon juice to add a refreshing taste to it. The caldo comes with lemon wedges, onions and cilantro, Spanish rice and your choice of corn or flour tortillas.

    Steak and Eggs
    Eli N.

    Amazing food and even better service! Would absolutely go in again. Steak and Eggs with hash browns for a price that's hard to beat! Best breakfast in LA

    I am so happy I finally got to try Dama! I absolutely love Antonia LaFasso so I've been dying to…read moretry one of her restaurants. Now when you pull up originally you might think, "am I in the right place" but once you park and get into the courtyard, it is LOVELY! Amazing ambience! There is a bocce set up, string lights. It is a little slice of oasis in the middle of the fashion district. The restaurant itself - beautiful. I couldn't ask for more. Absolutely perfect in my book. Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried. Unfortunately my friends had gone to Funke the night before so they were comparing the squash blossoms and Funke won out, but they still liked Dama's! Small plates were enough for the 3 of us. The service was quick and attentive. Parking was easy for us. I will definitely be back!

The staff are lovely humans who really seem to care about their customers. We have some faves on the menu. The bean dip is fabulous and I'm addicted to the baby gem salad. They have recently amped up the filling in the delicious crispy squash blossoms and I love the acidity and heat. The fish is also a hit in my books. One dish that doesn't work for me is the lamb chops, which is a shame since it's my favorite protein. I've ordered them multiple times with clear instructions on temperature and have found them overcooked and tough. The beef tostada was just ok. Whilst I loved the pickled veg on the side, the beef was underseasoned. It wasn't bad - just not up to the standard of other dishes. The vibe in the place is welcoming and the restaurant is nicely appointed. We will continue to be regulars and it's really worth trying if you haven't been yet.

They guide you to the entrance which about one hundred feet north. Walking in you're shown many awards, culminating in a 2025 Michelin. There must have been a special occasion to be welcomed by music that was incredibly loud. We sat down, and I couldn't hear myself think, or the waiters voices. We asked for another table, but unfortunately that brought a certain type of attitude from the host. I'm sure the music would have been nice if it wasn't as loud, on amplified speakers. After finally being seated, near the bar, the service seemed great. Seating seemed plentiful, but I can now see why a reservation is necessary. To start, the appetizer we chose was a queso fundido which was ok on their smaller tortillas. I must have been spoiled by Chalio's homemade giant tortillas. Chalio's on Atlantic by the way. Guelageutza uses sautéed mushrooms, and they garnished it with this guacamole that didn't really taste that good. Mushrooms on the fundido didn't seem right, but individually they tasted great. The chorizo was ok. My gf likes to try those types of apps. They're not known for that, so I can let it pass. Our order was taken, food was quick, and hot. The attentiveness of the staff was good, but their smiles were absent. Must have had a long day. I got the black Mole chicken, my gf got the enchilada negras(black mole) topped with their tesajo. My dish was good, hot, and full of mole, which was delicious as well. They served it with their tiny homemade corn tortillas. They have several types of mole. My gf got the enchiladas Oaxaceñas and it looked good until I took a bite of the enchiladas. They just poured mole over the tortillas and that's where the flavor went flat. The tortillas were dry and not dipped in the sauce. Traditionally in my family, we fry our tortillas lightly in oil, or lard, and roll them in the sauce. My gf didn't even finish them. I ate all of my meal, and I took her enchiladas home. They were even worse as leftovers. I tried to order their traditional flan, but they had ran out, so I ordered their tres leches. It was ok. I was really disappointed that they ran out of flan though. All in all, this establishment was ok. The atmosphere seemed very manufactured, but I've never had the pleasure of visiting Oaxaca. The mole negro was delicious on the chicken. Seeing that It was recommended on Yelp, I agreed with the statement of picking that dish. The bathrooms were great with a good amount of stalls. I can't say that about a lot of good delicious Mexican food restaurants here in LA. They seem to be more of an afterthought with some. Reminding myself this was Michelin rated restaurant, I didn't get that same feeling with the food though. This now, will give me an excuse to look into why a restaurant is rated as such to understand why that matters so much.

Hollenbeck was good but I definitely enjoyed the Okie burrito more, I ordered the "original" size once and didn't seem to learn my lesson the second time, these burritos can feed two in Original size. They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.
