    7/10 Got the spicy garlic shrimp bowl. All the ingredients tasted nice and fresh. Shrimp had great flavor and the rice was a tiny bit dry, but the main thing missing for me was some kind of sauce. They had salsa which helped a lot, but I do think the bowl should already come with some type of sauce. Still a great bowl regardless tho

    Good food, elevated chipotle. The chicken was bomb, good amount of Guac and good mix of sauces. Inside has AC and they got the orders our pretty quick

    Nice casual spot for Mexican food offering bowls, tacos, and some sides. Decent amount of seating both indoors and outdoors so you can bring your dog! Overall, thought my food tasted good and the bowl was large enough that it lasted me for another meal, so the price seemed reasonable for how much food I got. The cantaloupe agua fresca was very refreshing and a perfect pairing for the meal.

    This is definitely not your typical Mexican taco place. It's a LA priced for sure. It's a rather cute place to sit and eat with friends but because it was so late, we had to order takeout. Upon opening our boxes we were a little disappointed to see the boxes weren't labeled to note which tacos were in each box. We had to dig around to see which ones didn't have cilantro, the special requests, etc. This is nit picky, but for the price point, labels really would have been nice to have been utilized. The boxes had labels, but nothing was checked... I liked the pork and the beef flour tacos. Both were dry but had a lot of fillings and seasonings (borderline too salty). The garlic shrimp is spicy (and they really mean it). Overall a decent, boujee-ish taco place that I'd come back to experience the vibes. Btw, two tacos was actually filling due to their size.

    I've been here twice now, and been impressed each time! I dream of this place in my sleep! Parking is super easy, I just park in the Whole Foods garage and walk over! There's always seating available, it doesn't get too busy. And food is always fresh! I always get their chips and guacamole! They give a good amount of guac and the guac is always such a fresh bright green! Taste super delicious too! This time around I ordered a garlic shrimp bowl! The price is fair and they give a good amount of shrimp! It's again, very fresh and delicious! The presentation is always beautiful as well! My friend ordered the tacos and enjoyed hers as well. I truly feel like you can't go wrong with any of their menu items! Can't wait to come back!

    Ordered UberEATS and was hesitant to pay $8+/taco but after reading all the great reviews, I had high expectations! Unfortunately, I felt like I got overpriced tacos and the tacos were very underwhelming. There are a variety of bowls and tacos and pricing is pricey. Expect to pay $8+/taco and $16-$17/bowl. There are 6 different kinds of tacos to choose from - chicken, mushroom, pork, Chile, spicy garlic shrimp, and beef birria. Ordered 3 different kinds - chicken, shrimp, and beef birria. - Chicken ($7.69) was pretty decent. The chicken was tender and flavorful. It came with smokey habanero salsa so it was extremely spicy! Got it with flour tortilla (+$0.50) and it was just ok. This was 7/10 - Spicy Shrimp ($7.91) was extremely spicy! It came with a lot of shrimp and the shrimp was pretty big! The salsa was quite spicy so I won't recommend getting it you can't handle spicy well! This was 7/10 - Beef Birria ($7.91) was just ok. It came with an Anaheim Chile so I was expecting it to be super spicy but surprisingly, it wasn't spicy at all. It came with a generous amount of shredded beef and beans. This was 7/10 Overall, I was pretty disappointed with the tacos. Definitely not the best tacos I've ever had and it seemed like "Americanized Mexican" tacos.

    Cantaloupe agua fresca

    Solid fast casual spot that is open during a random weekday afternoon. Perfect for early happy hour or linner. The table seating outside is very nice, with some shade. Grabbed a Cantaloupe Agua Fresca which was very refreshing! Bowls met expectations with a healthy scoop of guac and the right ratio of everything.

    Guac and Chips

    Great spot for some healthy dining. Love how casual this spot is and there is some indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was super friendly. We loved the fresh made chips and guac and did really like our bowls I just wish they had a bit low spice to them.

    This is a very clean, calm establishment. The food is beyond fulfilling of the expectations in the service. They are so kind and welcoming. The food is also just as flavorful and amazing and they have additional sauces. I will highly recommend definitely a check out.

    Spicy Shrimp Bowl
    Josie S.

    My first time buying Loqui even though I've been in Arts District for 6 years! It's definitely an elevated Chipotle not only by price but also by flavor! The Spicy Shrimp bowl is my fave! Don't forget to get the red achiote sauce- such an amazing sauce. This establishment is right under La Cha Cha and Wurstkuche. Parking is not the best, but if you do find some parking it's a really nice area to eat there. Food was delivered to our table relatively quickly and the associates were nice. I've gone twice now in two weeks this is addicting!!

    Birria bowl
    Estela V.

    A friend recommended I check this restaurant out for lunch so I did. It's located in the heart of the Art District and parking sucks per usual. The restaurant is small and clean with a cute vintage water fountain for self service. I personally don't like that there isn't a menu on the wall. There's one menu on green paper on a stand on a counter away from the cashier. I decided to order the Birria bowl which comes with whole pinto beans, steamed rice, guacamole and pickled onions. The concept is very much like Chipotle minus the items not being visible when you order. For my taste, the Birria lacked flavor and there wasn't much consome in the bowl so it seemed a little dry. It wasn't horrible, it was different from what I'm used to. I may come back one day to try other items and I'd encourage you to check them out. I think this restaurant has potential and it's pretty healthy.

    My first time at this Arts District Loqui location. Located in a great spot, and ordered the chicken bowl and the Jamaica drink, and it comes with a side of chips. The food tasted great, and there's indoor and outdoor seating. The staff were very friendly, and the food came out super fast. If youre in the Arts district area, swing by Loqui for some good tacos and bowls. Loqui is one of my favorite spots in LA~!!!

The additional topping section had good variety with pickled onions, cucumbers, etc. and everything seemed pretty fresh. Unfortunately, they were pretty much out of the roasted pepper and grilled onions at the time I went. To drink, I had the horchata and that was also very delicious. It was huge, sweet, and creamy. I also loved how it was not grainy at all. A good pairing with the rich foods. They also have a good amount of seating at the stand with a long table and multiple chairs.

Also, make sure you ask them for pineapples since they did not include it until we asked. They do have them sliced up in a container by the meats. Ambience is very casual and it's a stand while eating type of situation. Service was quick.

You can tell that it's house made and I liked the chewy texture of it. However, respectfully the filling felt and tasted like bean goo. I could only really taste the refried bean flavor which was strong. It kind of meshed all the components together into a gooey filling. I got this with asada meat and the meat was kind of chewy and not so flavorful on its own. Props to the tortilla though for not spilling everything out and holding it together well, but still a bit difficult to eat. I would ask for utensils when eating this dish. The green onion garnish was unique. I wish they gave more lime wedges because that helped elevate the dish. For $13 this wasn't too bad, but I'd rather get a better burrito from a street vendor. This is a casual eats type of place with both indoor and outdoor seating and tables. They also serve alcohol and even frozen alcoholic drinks. They have a free parking lot in front, but it can be competitive to get a spot. Overall, my experience here was just okay and I would opt for other spots.
