    Pork conchinita
    Brianna A.

    my first time here, I've heard so many things about loqui through friends and socials and i was not disappointed with my experience. First thing I noticed was the really pretty & spacious outdoor patio. When walking in, i was greeted by the gentleman who was taking the orders. The employees there are such a vibe and so welcoming. i got myself the pork conchinita bowl & it was absolutely deliciously fulfilling! The pork was sooo good! i love when they sprinkle cheese on top of the beans, so yum!! i most definitely wanna come back and try their other items on the menu!!

    Anaheim Chile Taco on a Housemade flour tortilla. Delicious: 5/5
    Malina C.

    Our first time here, we drove all the way from the IE just to get a taste and we were not disappointed! The mushroom taco was my favorite, but I would order everything all over again. It's that good! Everything was a 10+. Fire!! Our order: ~ Mushroom Taco on flour tortilla: 5/5 ~ Achiote Chicken Bowl: 5/5 ~ Beans and Rice: 5/5 ~ Chips: 5/5 ~ Anaheim Chile Taco (1 flour tortilla and 1 corn tortilla): 5/5 ~ Jamaica Lemonade: 5/5 ~ Cucumber Lemonade: 4/5 Make sure you sign up for their loyalty account before ordering. You earn cash to use towards future orders. Refer a friend and the two of you will get a $10 incentive on your next purchase. My son has already returned for his 2nd time but at another location. He said the food was consistent and just as delicious as the first time. The spot is small, minimal, but very quaint LA style. Loved the artwork on the walls. A high top table inside with seating for 6 I think, and some window seats, but outside in the garden area there are multiple tables. The workers were very nice and friendly and helpful with answering any questions. The online ordering is very simple and easy to navigate. Parking lot gets full, but there is plenty of parking. The restaurant is right next to Pinkberry and in the same lot as Trader Joe's. Hold the door open for me, Loqui, because I'll be back soon!

    Loqui Studio City is part of a small LA-based chain that serves excellent tacos and more. We recently dined here and the food was not only good, but the service was friendly and certainly knew their food. I was so hungry that I forgot to take pics, but don't hesitate to try any of their locations. Loqui is a hit! See the menu (which I did remember to photograph, LOL). Five stars for great chow!

    Place is mid for the price. They used to serve much bigger bowls, but they've downsized the portions while keeping the same prices. The food isn't bad, but the value is terrible. Definitely not worth what they're charging anymore.

    Achiote Chicken Taco & Spicy Garlic Taco both with flour tortillas
    Harmony L.

    The Achiote Chicken Taco and Spicy Garlic Shrimp Tacos (if you like spicy) are delicious!! I got both with flour tortillas (which was recommended) and so glad I did. They are made in house and absolutely TASTY. The tacos are very flavorful and don't have too much sauce on it that it becomes overwhelming. They have 2 salsas to the right of the register, 1 is red and 1 is a dark ish green?? Unsure, but both great additions to the tacos. The ONLY downfall about this place is the parking. We came at 11:45am on Saturday and we will never do that again; it took 20 min to find parking, I almost gave up! But I don't fault Loqui for that, I just wish it was more accessible during prime hours. Will definitely be back at an off hour!

    First time trying Loqui on cinco de mayo! Really cool spot in Studio City, I decided to do takeout but the seating inside really gave family style dining for some reason. I got the achiote chicken bowl and it was bomb! Whatever they seasoned that chicken with def did the trick. $15 for the whole bowl is reasonable given this economy and it was full of flavor! Service was quick and friendly, I'll be back.

    Pork bowl

    This came off like a stripped down Tocaya, nice and clean Mexican bowls and such. We tried the chicken and pork bowls, both were pretty good but note that you will need to add some of their hot sauce if you want any kick of flavor at all. Most seating is outdoors, pleasant enough for being in a busy strip mall. My 5 year old daughter liked the rice and beans bowl. Worth returning to.

    Loqui over Chipotle! Delicious! Everything I've had here from the tacos to the rice bowls have been hot, fresh, and delicious. The rice bowls are a good portion size, everything it includes is fresh & good quality. Even the flour tortillas alone that comes as a side is soo yummy, I could snack on that allll day. If you like chipotle, give this a try!

    Cheese quesadilla
    Peter X.

    I stopped by this Loqui location with my wife to grab lunch. I been to their Woodland Hills location already so I already knew what I like. The plaza this place is in has limited parking and it can be tricky to find a spot so be aware. When I came, they were not busy at all. I was able to place my order of their Spicy Garlic Shrimp bowl and I asked for no beans or guacamole. I asked for lettuce instead and should've asked for more rice too. I also got to choose my side so I got corn tortillas. My wife got their cheese quesadilla. They made our food quick and we dined inside. The Spicy Garlic Shrimp is amazing, flavorful and delicious. My wife like the cheese quesadilla she got as well. The custom service here is amazing. They have indoor and outdoor seating at this location.

    Food is good, tasty, and fresh. Their red salsa is delicious, I add it to everything. Their black salsa is good but I prefer that one with the spicy shrimp plate. Which is what sold me on this place. I always get a bowl, spicy shrimp, or birria, or achiote chicken, with flour tortillas on the side. All have been perfect. I'm not an avocado person but I always eat their guac here. Fresh and delicious. Some people compare this place to chipotle. I don't think there's a comparison. This place is a gem.

    Great quick spot. A little spicy for someone who cannot tolerate much spice. Overall good and in a nice spot of Studio City.

    Another pic on the patio with our gorgeous Ventura Blvd. in the background.

    Finally, after several months of driving past this place, I got to try it with my son last night. This specific unit in the shopping plaza has been home to many different restaurants over the years. There used to be a Which Which sandwich shop several years ago, then it was a Nashville Hot Chicken spot and I think 2 other restaurants in between those two. We were excited to see what this place has to offer, especially with all the great reviews. Once you walk up to the entrance, you can see several tables and chairs outside, along with an additional shaded seating area that has some large picnic-style communal tables and benches. There's some nice greenery surrounding you as well that makes you (momentarily) forget about the hustle and bustle of Ventura Blvd., which is just a couple of steps away. We walked in and were greeted by Marvin who was very helpful, informative and knowledgeable about his job and the menu. He helped guide us to choosing our entrees and we both decided on the Half Chicken/Half Shrimp Bowls. The only difference was that my son asked for lettuce instead of beans, and I actually asked for a little side of lettuce as well. I always love to have some sort of salad with my meal! Oh, he also got corn tortillas and I got flour. As far as drinks go, I just opted for the Jamaica Agua Fresca, which was my first time trying something like this. It was so refreshing, tasty, and most importantly NOT TOO SWEET! The decor and artwork of the place definitely showcases Latin culture and history. We also asked Marvin what "Loqui" meant and he said it was a Latin word that meant "to say", or "to speak" and that they were speaking through their food, atmosphere, and service. Nice! The food arrived barely a few minutes after we sat down. Very fresh and presented nicely. It was absolutely DELICIOUS and we both devoured our plates and didn't leave a single crumb behind. The chicken was very flavorful, tender and perfectly cooked - as was the shrimp! The shrimp was just slightly spicy but they mention that on the menu. Marvin was actually nice enough to let me try a piece before ordering so I could decide if it was too spicy for me. The lettuce, beans, guacamole, pickled onions, rice - everything was perfect. Even the portion size is appropriate in my opinion, however it is a tad bit pricey. The only downside to our experience was the music, and even then it was not something that was bad enough to dock off a star or complain. There is only one speaker in the patio and we unknowingly sat under it. By the time it started bothering us, we were already deep into our meals and didn't feel like moving. I also don't know exactly what genre they were playing, but truthfully it wasn't too enjoyable and it was simply too loud. All in all it was a great experience and we will definitely be back to try more items. I love how flexible they are with customizations/substitutions and you can just adapt the menu to your liking. Looking forward to more meals at Loqui!

    Amazing! The food was delicious. I had the shrimp & chicken taco I ordered a side of guacamole & chips. You gotta check this place out. The restaurant is cute & there is an outdoor patio. I hope to go back for their margaritas! Thanks Loqui !

    Lovely spot for Mexican food with fun vibes!…read more I came for Sunday brunch/lunch with some friends. I made a reservation through Yelp a couple days beforehand and there was plenty of availability. The restaurant is located right off Ventura Blvd and has an attached parking garage in the basement which can be accessed via the parking lot behind the restaurant. There were plenty of spots available Sunday afternoon when I came. It's a bit hidden, but there is an elevator from the garage to the top level where the restaurant is located as well. We had two babies in strollers with us, so I requested a table with plenty of space nearby for the strollers. They seated us outside on their covered patio, and indeed, we had plenty of space. I peeked inside and there's also a nice lounge area with a beautiful flower wall as well as a proper dining area. When we arrived, there was a live DJ spinning tunes. I assume he's there during brunch hours, as he left around 3 pm when brunch ended. I started with a frozen lime margarita ($12). It was okay; it felt like it was only half frozen as the ice wasn't blended that well. For my main, I got the famous Anejo carne asada and shrimp plate for $40. Yes it was pricy, but the portion size was also huge! I was starving and somehow managed to finish the plate, but it'd be a great dish to share for two people with small appetites. I really enjoyed it as well. I asked for the steak to be cooked rare, and they didn't overcook it. Each bite was super tender and flavorful and paired well with the rice. Everyone else also enjoyed their dish. One friend got the wet chicken burrito for $15 and it was massive! Another got the veggie fajitas with steak added and really enjoyed her dish as well. Solid food all around. I would love to come back on a weekday and try their happy hour! Sipping on $5 margaritas and $6 sangrias sounds like my idea of a great time!

My favorites are the KILLER HOT and the SHARKY'S salsas. Their AVOCADO salsa is also very tasty. GO-TO FAVES include the Grilled Fish Taco on a corn tortilla. Seasoned and grilled to perfection on a regular basis. I get mine with no Pico de Gallo as I like to layer on some very hot salsa instead (KILLER HOT) and I get it without the cheese to keep it lower in fat and calories. NEVER disappoints. Their Nachos are a treat when I'm breaking my diet. :) Shrimp Tacos are really good as are the protein plates which can be customized and are a very healthy, well-prepared meal every time. You order at the counter -- and a nice touch is they ask if you want chips while you wait. Their water is also a nice touch -- it's got lemon, cucumber, etc. in the water which gives it a refreshing spa-like feel. They also have really good iced tea. You grab your own beverages and I highly recommend both the water (free!!) and the iced tea. The staff here is wonderful -- an active management team that works the floor, checks in on guests, and generally just makes everyone feel welcome, along with the hard-working kitchen team and the young team that takes the orders and puts together the take-away options. They are a smooth-running, very friendly and kind operation there. I love Sharky's. I grew up in this area and remember when it was Twain's.

Just dismissive, pissed off attitudes from beginning to end. Literally every single thing, from ordering a drink to getting the check, took twenty plus minutes and multiple requests. The restaurant was fairly full, but definitely not overwhelmed. I genuinely had no idea who our server was because the interactions were so minimal and brief and half the time I was flagging someone down to ask (again) for X, Y, or Z. I work in a restaurant. I'm a server. My empathy is high and my standards are ALWAYS manageable. This was some of the worst service I've ever had. On top of that, my nearly $30 shrimp burrito had an amazing lack of shrimp in it, and even beyond that, it just tasted like mayonnaise. It was inedible. I didn't dare try to send it back or get something else for fear I'd be stuck there for hours. Casa Vega is iconic, that much is undeniable. I don't know if they're resting on those laurels, or if management has devolved to the point of having extremely jaded staff, but I probably won't ever be back. Not that you guys need my business. But I'm definitely going to encourage others not to go experience the wreckage of a one-time pillar of Los Angeles either, and that is something that genuinely pains me to say. I am BEGGING someone to care about this restaurant again. It is worth saving. But right now, it's not even kind of worth visiting. Would be a better museum than restaurant. Two stars for the margarita I eventually got. It was thankfully delicious.
