So happy we chose this place yesterday after a 5-mile hike at Coldwater Canyon. The food was delicious, service exceptional, ample seating, and just superior--overall--everything. Or maybe--we were just super hungry!. Kidding..No...this spot is the real deal. guac is made with fresh avocados! We ordered guac and chips, a quesadilla, barbacoa taco, green chili taco, and chicken bowl. Two refreshing diet Mexican cokes. super fresh avocados in the guac and fresh lime..you can tell. Highly recommend this place. Special shout-out to the awesome staff who genuinely add to the great experience with warmth and smile. read more

Loqui - Mushroom bowl - Mexican Near Me - Studio City, California

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

I really hate that I have to give a bad review of this place. Our food was not good. I ordered the Anchiote Chicken bowls for my parents. They very seldom complain about their food, but this time they were not happy and it was too late for me to return. The bowls were very dry, and the rice was sticking together. I usually order the Anaheim Chile, but I ordered the Achiote chicken by mistake, and I won't do that again. It was mostly chicken; I never tasted the guacamole or salsa. I won't be back. The service and drinks were good. read more

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

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Loqui - Outside seating and front door - Mexican Near Me - Studio City, California

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! read more

I tried two of their popular dishes, the shrimp taco (you can choose between flour or corn tortilla) and the Achiote Chicken Bowl. Both the shrimp and chicken were seasoned and packed with flavor. The jamaica was refreshing with just the right amount of sweetness. They have a free parking lot but it can get crowded. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating! read more

Came for an event, and of course I had to try a few other things off the menu. I ordered the guac and chips, a chicken taco, and a watermelon margarita. I'd definitely pass on the guac and chips--it was just okay. The chicken taco on a flour tortilla, though? Top tier, probably the best chicken taco I've ever had. The salsa on it was straight fuego. The margarita was tasty and refreshing, but definitely on the strong side. I'll for sure be coming back to explore more of the menu. Fast, friendly service makes it even better! read more

Forget what you knew about a fast casual Mexican spot! This place is redefining what fresh and tasty Mexican food can be! Everything from Loqui is so tasty! Today I got the mushroom taco and a chicken taco, both had lots of great toppings! The guacamole also was extremely good and the perfect addition to any meal! The restaurant was super clean, and has a great outdoor area for dining! The staff were also very friendly! My favorite thing at Loqui is to mix their black salsa with guacamole, it's spicy but oh so delicious! If you're thinking of getting chipotle, think again and give Loqui a try! read more

Came in for a Yelp Elite experience and left a HUGE fan! Among the best tacos I've ever had! Menu is a bit limited, just tacos and bowls, as well as a few side options, but all proteins are covered. I wish there were burritos and Quesadillas with protein, but why mess with a good thing! Also, more drink options would be great, but the food is the star! I got a Beef Birria taco and a Pork Cochinita taco and, OMG were they delicious! Loaded and flavorful, the flour tortillas were perfection! Service was friendly and helpful, and it has ample, comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. I wish I was closer, I'd be in often, but I will return and recommend highly! read more

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. read more

Loqui - Achiote Chicken Bowl Shrimp Bowl Cucumber Mint lemonade - Mexican Near Me - Studio City, California

Okay so here's the thing, this is a good spot for a quick bite with solid wholesome ingredients however price point and flavor make this not so worth it. I ordered tacos, 1 Birria, 1 Spicy garlic Shrimp, 1 Anaheim chile (all on corn tortillas) Each taco was around $7 and sized a little bit bigger than a street taco. Now flavor wise the birria was disappointingly dry and lacked true birria flavor. The shrimp itself was tasty but everything in the taco was dry and had way too much cabbage with no sauce. However the shining light was the Anaheim taco! It was flavorful, the guac was fresh and the beans were tasty! Service was great and she did help me choose my food and explained the ingredients well. Overall I would rate it 6/10. Interior is cute and they do offer ample outdoor seating. There's parking available on the street or nearby lot. No public bathrooms. read more

I so wanted to love this place because of all the great reviews. It was highly recommended to me by a friend too who comes here all the time. I don't know if I just came here on an off day but it was not great. I tried the chicken taco and it still had tendon and fat in so many pieces that I could not finish it. The mushroom taco was better but too much spice and not much flavor. The beef taco might have been the best one. I was not impressed with any of their salsas and the agua fresca was just not fresh. The freshest thing may have been the guacamole. That was very good, extra star for the guac but one deducted for the stale chips. The person that took our order was nice but not knowledgeable about the menu or the food. I want to give it another chance but probably only for the guacamole that I will take home and eat with other chips. read more

I'm so glad ANOTHER local taco spot has been added to my rotation! Found out about this place through a yelp event and was impressed, brought my partner, and we've been coming back regularly ever since. Located in the lot with Sephora, Trader Joes, etc. in a kind of hectic spot on Ventura Blvd. There's never a lot of people here. Staff is really nice, there's a small, quieter indoor seating area and larger outside area. Random music playlists each visit lol. Onto the tacos: the best one that I always get is their birria taco. The chicken, mushroom, etc. are good too, but this one is the star. Each taco is HUGE! Was pleasantly surprised and very full with two; every once in a while I'll even drop by for just one because they are that good. It's the melted cheese + nopal that lines the inside of that taco... it makes every bite so good! Another bonus: this is the only place I've seen with this spicy, black hot sauce I've only seen in Mexico, so legit, such a great surprise. Being open until 10pm Friday and Saturday nights comes in handy for emergencies. Will definitely be bringing more people here. read more

Food is effing fantastic. Quality is superb and honestly can't beat the pricing. Never going to Chipotle again! Staff was very friendly and a very cute place to sit outside. Didn't have to deal with parking since I live walking distance, but can imagine it being challenging, but worth it! Will definitely come back! read more

I've tried loqui a few times but only their tacos but this time I got a bowl and it was soooo good! So much better than their tacos I gotta say. Next time I would add more lettuce. The salsas are also really good I love the chip salsa it was so good I poured some over the bowl. The red salsa is also really good on top but I did not care for the salsa seca or the black salsa it was too smokey for me. The chips paired with the bowl were really good. They also have my favorite Jamaica drink it's the perfect mix of sweet and tart with being more on the tart side which I love. Never going to chipotle again! read more

Loqui - Chicken bowl no beans sub lettuce extra chicken - Mexican Near Me - Studio City, California

My boyfriend and I finally tried this place after passing by it a few weeks ago. It's a modern, new-age fast food Mexican style restaurant. Think of Chipotle but with a fanicer Mexican twist. The offer various meats and vegan options that can be served in a taco or as a bowl. The restaurant has limited seating inside but a cute picnic style seating area outside. The restaurant was empty and there was one guy at the cashier. He was kind and patient as my boyfriend and I looked at the menu. We opted for a side of chips and guac to share, I ordered one Achiote Chicken taco with corn tortilla and my boyfriend ordered an Achiote Chicken taco and Beef Birria taco both flour tortilla. The tacos are larger then typical street style tacos and I like that there was an option between corn tortilla or flour tortilla. The corn tortilla option is cheaper than flour. Chips and Guac $7.50: Basic, was just a handful of chips and a dollop of guac. Nothing special about the chips, I've had better homemade chips. The guac lacked flavor and was too chunky. Achiote Chicken $7.49/$6.99: Flavorful but lacked the grilled char component. The chicken was juicy, smokey and had great spice to it. The pickled onions and cilantro added a fresh element to the taco. Didn't taste much of the salsa. A squeeze of lime would've elevated the flavor further. My boyfriend and I agreed that it would have been nice if they chopped up the chicken. It was huge pieces! Beef Birria $7.69/$7.19: Nowhere near a beef birria taco. Disappointing! My boyfriend didn't even finish it. "Cripsy cheese" was not crispy at all. Birria was dry and didn't taste like birria meat at all. Where is the spice and flavor?! Addition of beans was unnecessary. Overall I wouldn't eat here again. The food is overpriced. Loqui tries too hard to be hip and modern, they miss their marks on flavor. read more

I got the chicken bowl that comes with beans, rice, guacamole and toppings. The chicken was soooo flavorful. Tasted like delicious barbecued chicken. I will say the cilantro lime rice wasn't that flavorful but with a little bit of hot sauce and lime the bowl really came together. Will definitely go back to try more dishes. read more

First time here and all good on the visit . My order was brought to me in record time and order was correct - Bravo ! The staff came to check on me during my visit which was nice !

Fortunately, the food is worth waiting for. Once you can place your order, the service is acceptable. The challenge is the staff are very focused with online/phone orders. I was the only person 'in line' and took 10 mins to place the order in person. However, the food is awesome and the outside patio ambience is quite nice. I wish the chips & salsa was gratis, but to be fair, Covid seemed to change that everywhere (please give more salsa than the 1 ounce portion though.) I'll definitely be back, but will probably order online from the patio. The Studio City location has been many restaurants over the years. Probably because parking is tough whereas you're competing against the Trader Joe's patrons in the strip mall. read more

I'm so glad to see them expand and open in the valley! The tacos are fantastic, the homemade tortillas are key! Service was wonderful, food was ready quickly. Portions are generous, and the tacos are super flavorful, especially if you add one of their homemade salsa! Great option if you're looking for authentic and delicious tacos in the area! read more

We stopped in here for the first time the other day. Seems they just opened a month or so ago. Have to say, the flavors of the food were nothing short of fantastic! We ordered 3 different tacos on their signature flour tortillas (beef, chicken, shrimp) to test it all out and one of their hibiscus frescas. All the tacos had distinct flavors and were delicious. For those of you who aren't fans of spicy food or are sensitive to it, this may not be your place but I'm sure they could offer selections for the spice-adverse. The place is small but definitely mighty. They have a nice outdoor sitting area and parking is in the same complex as Trader Joe's and Sephora. The people were incredibly nice and offer some good feedback on what they offer. The atmosphere fits with the food. Definitely a fan! We'll be back again this week! read more

Went in wanting a burrito, but my initial disappointment was long forgotten because the chicken achiote burrito bowl was so well done.

Such a good quick lunch spot! read more

My family absolutely LOVES Loqui! My favorite are the Shrimp Tacos. Just spicy enough, loaded with plump shrimp, perfectly balanced flavor wise. My son and husband love those and the chicken. The birria is a meal in itself. Great Aqua Frescas and margaritas. The people who work here are really lovely. Friendly, helpful, kind. This is quickly becoming our go to place for tacos!! It's nice to eat in or out on the patio. The prices are really reasonable as the tacos are big and filling! Oh and the flour tortillas are homemade and soooo good! read more

I have tried Loqui twice now and I enjoyed both experience. We got the chips and salsa, chips and guac, chicken taco, and beef birria taco. Chips were so crunchy and fresh, salsa is also made so fresh, guac was amazing -- they give a good amount. We ran out of chips first than the salsa and guac (they are very generous with their portions). The chicken tacos had guac and picked onions in there. Chicken was very juicy and they did not skimp on the protein. Tacos are not the regular small size. They are a good size. The birria taco had melted cheese inside, does not skimp on the beef as well, onions, cilantro with lime on top. Tacos are not the usual pricing - $6-7 but portions are also big. They have options of dlour or corn tortilla as well. Everytime we come here, they make it so fresh. Their menu is small but they perfected their food. I have not yet to try the bowls but I can't wait to go back to try it. The store gives very minimalistic vibe but very clean. Just like their food, minimalistic but perfect. Service is always nice and friendly. We asked the cashier what their most popular items were and they said it was the chicken, beef, and shrimp. They answered our questions so nicely all the time. They have good complimentary salsa on the side. I see myself coming back again for more -- maybe for the shrimp next time read more

I'm obsessed with loqui. I will never go to chipotle again. Well that's a lie but still. The chicken and rice bowl is so satisfying and I love that you can have chips or tortilla. You won't go wrong either way because it's all delicious. The place has a nice vibe. The servers are super nice. The guacamole is so bomb. The Jamaica is so good; I hope I'm spelling that right.

The tacos were packed with flavor, the salsa tasted fresh, and the friendly service made the whole meal even better.

We had dinner here this past week and it was excellent! I ordered two tacos because some reviews said they were small. I don't know if it was because I got flour tortillas, but they were HUGE!! I had the mushroom and the achiote chicken. I loved them both. My husband had the achiote chicken bowl which was also generous in size. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Everything tasted clean and fresh. The food was a little slow to come out because they were working on a large order so they comped us chips and guac. Wow, really good guac. Seating isn't great unless you are outside, but we will definitely be back. read more
