What a gem! This spot is as authentic as it gets. The salsa was a true spicy delight and the food was fresh. Again, very authentic. It's a cute small spot and the staff were very friendly.

This Mexican restaurant is tucked away on Venice and Clarington with a free parking lot. They have a great happy hour until 7 pm on weekdays, with margaritas and plenty of food options! It was not crowded when we went on a Friday and the service was very quick. The food and drinks were tasty and the meal was very reasonably priced

I love this place !!! me and husband come here literally every two week and it's part our day off getaway. Food is always delicious, service always make us feel welcome, overall a hidden gem in palms area just absolutely love the ambience.

Was there yesterday, the chicken negro mole enchiladas was excellent , the margarita was top notch, highly recommended, as a local I'll be back .

If you know good Mexican food, welcome home. Home style, feel good, small joint with lots of class and culture. Karaoke, if you wanna come with a party - Just ask Bobby! ... EPIC

Recently discovered this place last month after living in the neighborhood for years and have been back 3 times since. The staff is always friendly and fairly attentive. Food is fantastic and it's nice to have some legit comfort food and not another bougie fusion option. The wet burrito is my go to and they get it right every time. When it comes to drinks they make some of the best margaritas and micheladas in the area. The one downside is the parking lot is small so it can be tough to find a spot during peak hours and street parking is only one hour.

A gem in the Culver City neighborhood. Great food, amazingly friendly staff, and the best happy hour in WLA

This place is the spot! The service is amazing! Immediately as I arrived I was greeted and seated and felt at home. They have the soccer game playing on a Sunday and created a great ambiance. I ordered a Maracuya (passion fruit drink) and I was skeptical that it was going to be too sweet but it reminded me of my childhood and the menudo was on point!

I found another hidden little gem. So close to home yet I never been here till last night when I decided to try something new. When entering the restaurant they have a small little bar to the right and about 6 or 7 tables Incase you want to dine in. Unfortunately I didn't have time to dine in so I ordered to go. I was greeted first thing when walking in and was seated I told him I was going to eat out and he said it was fine to take a seat and let him know when I was ready. So I sat and took a look at the menu and decided on two things the camarones al mojo de ajo, and the burrito mojado with mole coloradito. To drink I ordered an agua de Jamaica and agua de maracuya (passion fruit). Both drinks were incredible! So I took the food home so I might have had a bumpy ride and it showed with the camarones al mojo de ajo but despite how ugly it looked the shrimp was delicious perfectly seasoned and garlicky just how I like it the rice and beans hit the spot and as for my burrito I asked for it with no lettuce because lettuce does not belong on a burrito but everything about that burrito was incredible the mole was sweet just how I like it and it just felt like a complete dish mixture of both sweet and savory! Very impressed with last night dinner. parking is horrible tho only downside about this restaurant

Disappointed. They never consistently make the same thing. You never know what type of meat it'll be. Will it be chopped? Or will it be shredded? This goes for any item. I've ordered the tacos, wet burrito many times, enchiladas etc. it changes the quality of the item and the experience. We prefer it to be shredded btw. Love the other location way more for this reason. They don't switch up their process of making things. We live closer to this one so it's sad to do this. Other than that, the food is great quality, tastes amazing! read more

I stopped by, last minute, on a Friday night. My family wanted Mexican food so we decided to try the place out. We ordered the taco plates (one chicken and one beef). We also ordered the mole negro. We've tried a couple of Mexican places in the area and this will now be one of our go-tos. The food tasted great. It was not greasy at all. They gave chips, which were delicious as well. Not stale at all. The plates were reasonably priced. The service was great as well, being that I walked in and ordered take out. The staff was really nice. I wasn't there long, but you can tell it's a good ambience despite it being a small restaurant. We definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

I came to Juquila a few days ago, because I was referred by a friend. I half to say, I was very impressed. From the customer service; and most importantly the food. All my friends know, that tacos are my favorite food. I have to say the tacos where some of the best; that I have had. I highly recommend the Asada Tacos. The margaritas and micheladas are good too lol... not to mention they have really big flat screen Tv's, for the sport games. This place is truly a one stop and shop.

5 STARS for Juquila - here's why: 1. DELICIOUS MARGARITAS! I asked them to make mine less sweet than the regular marg and they delivered! I had 4 of them and would have had more if my boring boyfriend hadn't cut me off *sigh* 2. Fajitas were delicious! I had the chicken and my bf had the beef/shrimp fajitas and they were both so good and had a slight charr which we loved! 3. Music was ON and popping! I didn't expect this restaurant to be so lively but it was just what the doctor ordered! 4. Happy hour specials! I saw a sign outside that said they have $4 marg specials (R U KIDDING?!) 5. Service was top notch! Everyone was kind, attentive and quick! Gracias Juquila! I'll be back (without the bf) so I can enjoy my margs in peace read more

Therefore, I have to come and take advantage right? Well, I was able to order both tacos keto style (Dallas Fort Worth variety) and have their contents put in these cute cups. Needless to say they were delicious as was the fresh coffee. The CSA (CUSTOMER SERVICE ALL STAR) of this experience was none other than Erik-pictured. What a super nice guy! Erik was super humble, and yet calm cool and collective-while managing the usual door traffic. I guess where I'm going with this is I certainly couldn't do it! Thanks Erik, your a credit to the Home State brand.

This isn't your…read moretraditional taco stand - it's definitely a more modern, hipster take on Texas-style breakfast tacos. But they execute it pretty well. One of my favorite morning routines is grabbing a coffee from Blue Bottle next door, then settling in at HomeState with my two favorite breakfast tacos: the Guadalupe and Don't Mess with Texas. Guadalupe - 4/5. I always order this on a corn tortilla. It comes with eggs, chorizo, and cheese, and the ingredients are decent. The portion is generous, with plenty of fluffy eggs that are cooked just right - not overdone or runny. The cheese melts nicely into the eggs, creating a good texture. The chorizo is decent, though it's the weakest component of an otherwise excellent taco. Also, I realized that the portion of chorizo has shrunk over the years. Don't Mess with Texas - 4/5. I'm generally not a fan of refried pinto beans, but this taco completely won me over. The combination of beans, bacon, potatoes, and cheese works surprisingly well, especially with the salsa verde. The flavors come together beautifully, making this one of the more satisfying breakfast tacos on the menu. I've tried a few of their other breakfast tacos, and they're all good. Still, I always find myself coming back to these two. HomeState offers two house salsas roja and verde, both with a brighter, more acidic profile than what you'd typically find at a taco shop. Usually that would be a bit problematic for regular tacos, but that acidity pairs well with the rich breakfast tacos. My only complaint is that I wish they packed more heat. Hot sauces are available, but I'd rather the house salsas bring the spice on their own. Even so, they're flavorful and complement the tacos well. Overall, I like my Blue Bottle coffee + 2 breakfast tacos combination, and will continue eating here.

One of the main reasons we've always enjoyed coming here is for the live mariachi performances, which my mom ABSOLUTELY loves. Sadly, this visit just didn't feel worth the extremely inflated holiday pricing. At $75 per adult and $40 per child (drinks not included), our bill came out to over $600 for 7 people and only one alcoholic beverage was ordered. That would maybe feel justified if the food and service matched the price, but they did not. The food lacked flavor, arrived cold, and the service was noticeably poor. Our waiter seemed irritated anytime we asked for anything, which was surprising because we've never experienced that before (could be that gratuity was automatically added to the bill). And to top it off, the mariachi performance lasted far less time than expected, maybe 45-50 minutes at most, when that's honestly the biggest reason people even go, especially on Mother's Day. It's unfortunate because we truly enjoyed our previous visits, but this experience felt more focused on maximizing holiday profits than creating a quality dining experience. I'd still maybe consider returning on a regular day (for the performances solely), but I would definitely avoid holiday pre-fixed menus/cost events in the future. Giving it two stars because of the Mariachi performance.

The staff is very friendly, but the food is subpar. It's expensive and very disappointing. The Oaxacan Horchata is beyond terrible. You can tell it's powdered mix. No flavor. Most of the food was either very bland or very salty. Sadly, we won't be returning. Oh and if you're bigger than a size 6 and have wide hips, the chairs will be super uncomfortable. Painfully uncomfortable.

You just have to know what to get. I got my old breakfast favorite, the breakfast burrito ($12) which comes with eggs, chorizo, potatos, refried pinto beans and cream. It is pretty good and the portion size is about right for the price. (With some of the other items here, you don't get enough versus what you pay. My sweetheart got her old favorite Chilaquiles en salsa verde ($18) which is corn tortillas lightly fried, salsa verde, eggs, crema, queso Fresca, pickled red onion, cilantro & black beans and she loved it as usual. I am giving Cinco 3 stars because they have significant items that are just average and other menu items that are very stingy for the price. But again, if you know what to get you can have a nice meal and not leave hungry and angry because you paid too much for food that wasn't great.

My only gripe is that the prices continue to rise and the chips and salsa are only free for the first basket, which really takes away the appeal of a local family style Mexican restaurant. My fav burrito is now $20, and while the burrito itself is large, it's a high price to pay for just a burrito with no sides. I think if the chips and salsa were still unlimited the increase in food prices wouldn't be such a hit as well. Their drinks are always great I just wish they had happy hour since the prices really are up there with other new and modern restaurants with no fun deals or unlimited chips and salsa like many other family style places. Their servers are kind and attentive and there's not a crazy amount of tables so there tends to be a wait no matter the time of day. Also parking can be hard to find as it's basically located inside a neighborhood.

ok sorry we tried again with the family. against my wife's recommendation we went here for a mid day lunch today. first it was hotter in the restaurant than it was outside! it was over 95 outside! no AC, cooling fans on the hot ceiling were useless. Nando was our waiter, a little communication problem, some of the order was served incorrect. one tostada Grande, one carne asada platter with salad only, one Grande tostada with steak, one chicken with onion and mushroom special. the carne asada came, not medium but well done, and mostly gristle, my wife and grand daughter had a very hard time eating any good pieces, I noticed this last time that is why we stopped coming, the grade of meat went thru the floor. my sons chicken came dry with out the onions and mushroom, and no sauce, when we asked the waiter he said : do you still want the onions and mushrooms? obviously the order was turned in wrong. my daughters tostada was a pile of hot mush inside my steak tostada grandee was the worst. the place was floating in loose juice, when I questioned the waiter he said the beans were watery today . I tried to move the tostada off to another plate and the whole thing collapsed into a pile of mush and water, it took 4 napkins to soak up the watery mess from the watered down beans, someone in the kitchen is cutting corners again. I complained to the waiter and showed him the tostada was more of a stew and he said : is this a problem?. I gave up. could not eat much of the watery mess. my wife's steak partially un edible, my daughter left the tostada, my son finally got the onions and mushrooms but no sauce for the chicken sorry guys, the owner was in and out with deliveries, but the people left there to run the place should be either trained better, or at least have a chef there that can produce a plate. when you spend over 50.00 for lunch at a local restaurant you would like a little quality. ps: there was only 5 of us and 2 others in the restaurant at the time. read more

Juquila Traditional Oaxacan is an absolute gem that perfectly captures the essence of Oaxacan cuisine in a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere. This restaurant/bar is an ideal spot for a casual lunch or a cozy late dinner date, offering a delightful blend of great food and exceptional service. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a charming, traditional decor that sets the mood for a fun dining experience. The friendly staff makes you feel right at home, ensuring that your visit is enjoyable from start to finish. To start, the complimentary chips and salsa are a perfect introduction--mild yet flavorful, they set the stage for the delicious meal to come. Pair them with a few refreshing Coronas for a true taste of Mexico. The menu features standout dishes, but the steak plate is undoubtedly my favorite. It's expertly cooked, bursting with flavor, and served with all the right accompaniments. The wet burritos are also a must-try, generously filled and smothered in rich sauce. If you find yourself nursing a hangover, the birria is a comforting, hearty choice that will surely revive you. Juquila is family-friendly, making it a great option for gatherings with loved ones. Whether you're in the mood for a casual bite or a relaxed dinner, this restaurant delivers on all fronts. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this amazing spot! read more

Allow me to express my utmost satisfaction with this hidden gem of a place - an establishment that effortlessly excels in both customer service and culinary delights. Opting for the wet burrito adorned with flavorful carne asada and complemented by two perfectly crafted jalapeño margaritas, my dining experience here transcended the ordinary. As a discerning critic in matters of both hospitality and gastronomy, I was genuinely impressed. The speed at which my delectable meal arrived was remarkable, and the attentive waiter consistently inquired if I required anything throughout the entire dining experience. Noteworthy was the prompt offer of Wi-Fi assistance upon spotting my laptop. Such attention to detail only accentuated the overall exceptional service. It's a testament to the establishment's commitment to customer satisfaction. The fact that I am already contemplating a return visit speaks volumes about the lasting impression it left on me. Sharing this delightful experience with my Bestfriend, who conveniently resides nearby, only added to the overall enjoyment. Without a doubt, this place has earned its spot on my list of go-to dining destinations. read more

I came here for dinner on a Wednesday. It was slow to say the least. And usually when I see a restaurant that's not very busy. I tell the waiter, "sorry is this ____" they say no, I turn around and leave. But I went with my empty gut and sat down with my roomy. I told our waiter that we are very hungry! He asked us what we like, I told him this, this and this. Say no more Brought us this massive meal! A little too much food, could have feed a family. But utterly delicious! The sauce made everything taste like Mexican heaven! A little pricey,50ish dollars! But worth the damn price! We'll definitely be back! read more
