    Montage of images from LA Buns

    Doesn't it sound like the name of a 1970's TV detective show about undercover aerobics instructors starring Suzanne Somers and the Landers sisters? "FREEZE! Drop your weapons, buster! We're LA Buns!" But no such luck as it was a burger joint in the heart of WeHo. In a particularly weak moment after gazing at all the hardbodies on the floats during WeHo Pride, Jamie W. and I decided to indulge. No, not that way. Both of us ordered the $7.89 Chili Cheese Burger (photo: https://bit.ly/443FrH8), but we showed some modesty and shared the $4.89 French Fries (photo: https://bit.ly/3OnPhh6). We even had our limits. The burgers were more Sloppy Joe style than truly satisfying, but does it matter when the eye candy provided all the calories we could handle? OK, that sounded like we helped ourselves to... No, we just ate meat and carbs. That still didn't sound right, did it? FOOD - 3 stars...sloppy chili cheeseburgers if that floats your boat AMBIANCE - 3 stars...one of those roadside places with just outdoor seating SERVICE - 3 stars...fast and unmemorable TOTAL - 3 stars..."you're under arrest...we're LA Buns!"

    Taco

    The food here was absolutely bomb. I enjoyed myself a lot in here with my friend. We ordered 2 sodas, 1 burger, 1 taco plate, 1 side of fries. Total is like $32. Definitely enough food to take home. However, when I asked for utensils, the chef seems unhappy with me. Other than that, great experience.

    Chorizo burrito. My fav

    Love LA Buns! I get a kick in my step when I know I'm picking up my fav chorizo burrito from LA Buns. The egg to chorizo is on point: one ingredient doesn't overpower the other. The fries are made to order. Delish! Affordable prices and friendly helpful staff. A+

    Great local go-to. Recently increased prices and reduced hours but they are still in business and an affordable local option.

    Chicken burrito

    Great place to grab a bite after a night out with friends. I have to admit that I was a tipsy when I ordered a burrito from here one night. The Burrito was delicious and I also had a side of chips with salsa. My friends had the tacos and they said it was really good too. I actually want to come back and try the food when I'm completely sober lol. Then I'll really know if it's as good as I remember. The downside is that it's CASH ONLY...which loses a star. I'm NOT a fan of Cash Only places.....It's 2017!!! It's in very convenient location on Santa Monica Blvd. I'm guessing that a majority of their customers are from the Santa Palm Car Wash. Great way to wait for your car while it's being washed. Parking is street metered for the most part. Not sure if there are any areas without restrictions for parking. I'll definitely be giving this place another shot. More photos to come!

Went for Happy Hour on Taco Tuesday and they had plenty of options for food, which I love. Drink specials include $8 margaritas, spicy or regular and $1 more with mazcal. It was perfectly balanced but it was not as spicy, and i like spice. I also tried the sangria and that had great tropical flavor. He said it was peach, pineapple and it tasted refreshing. For food: I got the toasta and it was presented beautiful, but the taste was a bit bland. The taco trio was $7 & looked filling for the amount of food you got. 3 small street taco sized but a lot of filling. The $10 Happy Madre Meal included a beer or a fresca and I'm glad I got the fresca. It was delicious. The meal also came with 1 bbq jackfruit slider and Chipotle garlic fries which was a decent size. The service was great and the QR code made it easy to split payment and pay without flagging the server down. The patio filled up quickly, so I suggest you go early to grab a seat and street metered parking. Overall it was a great experience.

Came in for a quick bite to eat before a show down the street at the Troubadour. Everything was great. Staff was friendly and helpful, the food was made promptly and brought out to us. It was towards the end of our meal that things got interesting as I had asked for hot sauce for my taco sampler The server mentioned some super spicy taco they had. Now I can handle extreme heat (I could do Hot Ones no problem) and more often than not I'm let down by what most places consider spicy. Not this time however I knew it was gonna be good when the staff from the kitchen started to check me out after it was ordered. They were being sly but by the end of the taco I feel as if I had earned their respect, I'd give it a 7 on my heat scale - it was hot and also delicious. A great experience all around - thank you Guisados

No. What Guisados does exceptionally well is satisfy late-night taco cravings, especially after a night out of cocktails and shots. Nestled right between the bars, it's the perfect stumbling distance when the night is winding down and hunger starts making decisions for you. The tacos are flavorful, the stewed meats hit the spot, and somehow everything tastes even better when you're debating whether to go home or order one more drink. My biggest advice: get there before last call. Otherwise, expect a long line. So, is Guisados the greatest taco place on earth? Probably not. Is it exactly what I want when I'm hungry, exhausted, and looking for salvation wrapped in a tortilla? Absolutely.

    This might be my new favorite place. My friend brought me here for an early weeknight dinner…read more First of all, the flaming margaritas are so fun. They have a lot of flavors and you can choose if you want it frozen or on the rocks. Both come on fire!! You can easily blow it out like a birthday candle. Get your cameras ready. I had the veggie enchiladas which were perfect. It says sour cream on the side but I don't like sour cream at all so I told them to hold it and it appeared without sour cream. Perfect. Rice and beans came with the enchiladas and the plate was a good blend of everything. I loved the atmosphere from the moment we walked in. Our eyes had to adjust to how dark it was compared to the sun outside. They had live mariachi. There is a sign that says they don't allow the check to be split so be prepared for that.

    This is the second time I've been there. And the food was the same quality as the first time…read more Excellent excellent excellent! It's really hard to find a Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles. NOT! If you trip, you will fall over an excellent Mexican restaurant without trying. So for me to give a Mexican restaurant this mini stars means that it's exceptional. And I can tell you that when I walked in at 3:30 the place was packed. There were no inside tables at all we were relegated to the patio because that's the only place to sit. Even the bar was full. El compadre reminds me of an old Vegas casino. When you walk in, you have no idea what time of day it is. It is a classic dark, red booth environment that only a good restaurant can get away with. Most of the patrons look like they've been coming there forever, which tells you that it's a favorite for people in the neighborhood. But the reason they keep coming back is because of the food and the service. The minute you sit down, they bring you a bowl full of chips and salsa. You have to try one of their flaming margaritas which they're known for. How I judge every single Mexican restaurant is by their fajitas. And not just any fajitas shrimp fajitas. That is my favorite dish. In order for me to give a restaurant five stars the shrimp has to be fresh with that snap that only good fresh shrimp has. The vegetables have to be firm but flavorful and the meal has to come piping hot. El compadre scored well on all of those points. If you order the shrimp cocktail, you need to understand that that will be your meal. Because they're huge. Chalk full of avocado and shrimp. It's more like a ceviche than a shrimp cocktail. It's delicious. The staff is wonderful and very attentive. I cannot encourage you enough to go there. It's wonderful.
