    Came here last night with my brother and a few friends and had such a great experience! The servers were super sweet and attentive, and the food was delicious. I also loved that there were plenty of healthy options and everything was reasonably priced. Overall, great food, great service, and a really nice experience. Definitely see myself coming back here more often!

    I ordered delivery from Little Lenny's last night, and everything was great! I got the birria burrito and chips, and both were fresh and delicious. The order was packaged very carefully and arrived in perfect condition. I'll definitely be ordering from here again. highly recommended!

    Lenny's started as Lenny's Casita, which was a ghost kitchen with a bold vision to bring soulful Mexicali flavors into the kosher space. It has since grown into a full-service restaurant and bar, now recognized for standout food and warm, attentive hospitality across Los Angeles. Chef Lenny combines his California roots with fine-dining experience at their main location off of Pico. Their bar offerings are equally impressive, featuring handcrafted cocktails made with fresh, natural ingredients alongside a curated selection of authentic tequilas and mezcals. From tacos to tequila, everything is thoughtfully executed, and the atmosphere consistently feels welcoming. They are Glatt Kosher under OK supervision if you follow those dietary needs. They have now expanded with a smaller location now open on Ventura Blvd in Studio City, which is what this review is based on- My friend and I ordered: *Not-So-Little Crunchwrap-Your choice of protein, Spanish rice, refried pinto beans, chipotle aioli, jalapeño aioli, and salsa cruda. *Wings-(8pc) Bone-in wings with choice of Chipotle Honey or Mango Habanero sauce. *Churronuts-(3pc) Fried dough tossed in cinnamon sugar with dulce drizzle. *Frosé-Frozen cocktail with rosé, housemade strawberry puree, blended. *Limonana-Ice blended agua fresca with fresh lemon juice, sparking water, simple syrup, fresh mint For parking, since the area gets busy with nearby businesses and restaurants, it's usually easier to park in the residential neighborhood on the other side of Carpenter. I will for sure be back!

    Little Lenny's is easily one of the best restaurants around. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care, and the portions are great. The service is friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they really care about their customers. Every time I come here, the quality is consistent and the experience is excellent. Highly recommend Little Lenny's if you're looking for great food and a place you'll actually want to come back to.

    Really cute new spot on Ventura! Fairly large and customizable menu so there's something for everyone. Prices are a little high, but to be expected for a kosher place. Super cute space but it is a little small so it can get busy. iPad ordering is easy and seamless. Really friendly staff too!

    Loaded fries

    Went to Studio City to check out Little Lenny's. They are a new Mexican kosher restaurant that just opened up. It is also the only kosher Mexican place I know. They have a lot of different items on their menu and I was able to try a few items. I started off with their agua fresca limonana and frose. The limonana was refreshing, tart and had hints of mint. The frose was lightly sweet with a crisp refreshing finish. Both drinks are perfect for a hot day in LA. For food I ordered the crispy potato tacos dorado, loaded fries and breakfast burrito with beef bacon. The crispy potato tacos came with 3 tacos loaded with lettuce, beans, guac, salsa and sour cream. They were fried to perfection with no traces of any oil. The potatoes were seasoned well and smooth. I liked the variety of different ingredients the dish had. The loaded fries come with your choice of meat. It had aioli, chimichurri and sumac onions on top. I am a sucker for aioli as it is bold, garlicky and aromatic. The fries were thin which is how I like my fries as well. For the breakfast burrito you can add your choice of meat. Our server recommended us to get beef bacon which I didn't see on the menu. The bacon was meaty and had a nice bite to it. The eggs in the burrito were silky smooth and filled with hash browns. The burrito comes with chipotle aioli and salsas. You can take a wild guess that I sauced my burrito up with the aioli. The service here was great. Sana and Jeremy came to check in on us frequently. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered their recommendations. Restaurant is clean and each item averaged about $15.

    So excited to have Little Lenny's in the valley. The new location is so cute with amazing food! My favorite items are the corn ribs, Crunchwrap with carne asada, Limonana, and the breakfast burrito. Everything is packed with so much flavor and everything is kosher! They also have gluten free and vegan options. A great new lunch or dinner spot!

    I had such a great experience at Lil Lenny! The concept of Mexican glass kosher-style cuisine is so unique, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The drinks were creative and really well made, and the food quality was outstanding. What truly made the experience stand out was the amazing service--attentive, friendly, and welcoming from start to finish. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to! Nice ambiance

    Amazing new Mexican food spot. we ordered a combination of tacos and corn and a lot of good stuff and horchata drinks and churros doughnut for dessert. everything was really good, The environment in there was very welcoming. definitely recommend!

    Good food!!
    Helen Y.

    Absolutely nice place!! Good as always delusious and tasty!! Very friendly stuff and amazing service! My favorite Spot for lunch!!

    Little Lenny's is so delicious , this is our second time here and we'll be back for more. Everything is very high quality and casual which is nice. The patio is surprisingly spacious as well. The corn ribs ( appetizer I think ) is my favorite and I recently had the desert donuts and we loved those as well. We brought friends and they loved it and are bringing friends to come and try next. Jeremy and Talia are also amazing and so sweet and attentive.

    Gluten free options besides salads or corn tortillas?

    On their menu they identify allergens but to be on the safe side, I would say to call.

    Delightful! Some…read morecolleagues and I decided to give this place a shot since we work in the area and it had a Dine LA special going on. I could tell from the moment that we were led into the dining room and saw the big grill in the back that this was going to be a fun evening! Before we even ordered, we were offered a cup of vegetable broth as a starter. The broth was excellent, and appreciated despite it being a hot and humid day. I suspect that the composition varies based on the kitchen scraps, but we all agreed that it was great. After the broth, the waiter stopped by to walk us through his recommendations and some background about the restaurant. Even though we were doing Dine LA, he was able to give us some suggestions on pairings, and I apprecaited how he walked us through each item as it was brought to the table. For the first course, we tried both the torta frita with cashew butter, and the chipas with tomato butter. I was impressed with how everythign was thorugh out - the dishes, the butter knives carved out of single pieces of wood. The flowers that popped on the otherwise plain cashew butter, the (if memory serves) toasted buckwheat seeds on the tomato butter. You eat with your eyes first, and mine were feasting while they were laying everything out! The cashew butter was slightly sweet with the honey, and it paired well with the crispy torta. Spreading the butter was a bit awkward, but we made it work. The toamto butter was likewise great. With both breads and butters, what I loved most was actually the combinations of textures. There was thought given to how the ingredients paired together. The crispy torta, for exmaple, was paired with the smooth cashew butter, while the soft chipa was paired with the "crunchy" tomato butter. The second course was likewise impressive. We mixed and matched a number of different appetizers. I can't speak for the empanada (it was devoured before I could try it!), but the hamachi crudo was fresh, tasty, and delicate, and it was fun to watch them pour the sauce on tableside. What was most impressive, however, was the burnt avocado salad, which has the most unique preparation thad I had ever seen. What looks like an unpeeled avocado is actually a peeled avocado that has been charred so that the blackened surface resembles an avocado skin! The char on the fatty avocado paired well with the bitter salad greens and the vinagraite. The crispy onions and candied lemon bits sprinkeld through out were barely visible yet added delightful little flavor bombs and some texture. For the third course, each of the entrees was excellent. Two of us ordered steaks, and I noticed that they didn't ask us for our desired doneness. While some might be squeamish, I appreciated they made the call to serve the meat how they thought was best. Their choice delivered. The steaks were great, tender and well seasoned, and with no strong herbs or spices to hide behind. That said, I tried a bite of the short rib, and I think that was even better! Someone else ordered the pork and paired it with the peppers per the waiters suggestion, and that combiantion was delightful. At the end of the meal, we decided to get deserts, which weren't included with the Dine LA. We ordered a "Ode to DDL" which was basically like a dulce de leche version of molten chocolate cake. Our second desert was a chocolate & Sabayon. I didn't read the menu description carefully enough and didn't realize that the foam... icing? topping? would have a liquor added to it. On its own it was a bit much, but together with the chocolate and the caramel it worked well together. Speaking of which, I attached a photo, but the desert came with a massive piece of caramel crisp that was a lot of fun to break with a spoon! Overall, it was an incredibly enjoyable experience. The food was great, the staff was fun, attentive, and knowledgeable, and the whole restaurant was thoughtfully put together. It was a little pricey, but I think the experience was worth it. We're already planning our next trip back!

The only dish that was so so were the artichokes. They just didn't have much flavor. Cocktails were terrific. Service was top notch, it's always nice to watch people work who are great in their job.

One steak was a perfectly reasonable portion, while the other was this tiny sad piece of steak and I paid the exact same price for it. That's what really bothered me. I understand that steaks can vary slightly in size and shape, but this was not a slight difference. When I'm paying the same premium price, I expect reasonably comparable portions. Getting one good-sized steak and one significantly smaller piece for the exact same price just doesn't feel fair. I've been a repeat customer and have ordered this dish many times, which is why I was especially disappointed. I'm not asking for anything unreasonable, I just expect the portion to match what I'm paying for!
