    CEVICHE VERDE LIMON
    Edna S.

    My partner and I stopped by as we stumbled to this place on Yelp . The decor is trendy and the ambiance is great , perfect for happy hour or a celebration. We came for dinner, and the lighting was very dim, making it hard to read the menu (they also use QR codes, but I prefer a physical menu). We started with the ceviche verde limon, which had very little shrimp, lots of onion, and it needed more lemon. Our bartender, Carlos, was friendly and made excellent cantaritos (10/10). Unfortunately, the entrées didn't impress. The Camarones de Don Lupe were chewy and tasted previously frozen, however the salsa they came with was very tasty and the carne en su jugo was just okay. Overall, great vibe but overpriced for the food quality. I might return for brunch since I've heard they have live mariachi.

    Being new to the area and missing LA's dining scene, I was excited to try this restaurant because the decor and ambiance were beautiful. We visited during brunch, and the live music created a pleasant atmosphere. What surprised me, however, was that the restaurant was almost empty at noon on a weekend. Nevertheless, I thought this would be a nice spot to take my team for our Christmas lunch. Unfortunately, the dining experience did not live up to our expectations. My Mexican mother-in-law was not impressed with her chilaquiles that she refused to take left-overs home. We specifically requested that our dishes be prepared without onions, yet our queso fundido was topped with green onions, and my Carne en su Jugo had fresh white onions at the bottom of the bowl. My husband also asked if he could have cilantro with his quesabirria, but we were told the restaurant didn't have just cilantro available, which was surprising for a Mexican restaurant, especially at this restaurants price point. Another thing that stood out was that I overheard the table next to us being offered the dinner menu, while our table was never given that option. I don't know why the experience was different, but it left us feeling overlooked. Service also fell short. Our used plates remained on the table throughout the meal, even though the waitstaff came by multiple times to refill my son's horchata. The table became crowded with dirty dishes, yet no one made an effort to clear them. Overall, it felt like there was a lack of attention to detail and genuine hospitality. It's unfortunate because the restaurant has a lot of potential with its attractive setting and live music. The food was, as my son would describe, "mid" but it was the service or lack thereof that really made a lasting impression to me and my family. Had the service been excellent, I would be willing to come back at another time and give it another shot.

    I really wanted to give Los Amores de Julia a full five stars because the atmosphere is beautiful and the staff is genuinely welcoming. It's a charming local spot with a cozy, intimate vibe that's perfect for a first date or a quiet night out. That said, the prices are extremely high for what's offered, especially if you're coming in with family. It's not the most affordable option for a regular dining experience, and that was disappointing considering how much I enjoy supporting local restaurants. If you're looking for a romantic, local place to try once, especially for a date night, I'd still recommend stopping by. But for families or anyone watching their budget, just be prepared for the higher price point.

    We stopped at Paulina's on our way to Las Vegas, and it was one of the best dining experiences…read morewe've had on a road trip. The restaurant is warm, cozy, and full of charm, with a beautiful country-style atmosphere that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The service was exceptional--friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. I ordered the salmon with pesto sauce, and it was perfectly cooked, juicy, and absolutely delicious. It came with a fresh green salad topped with sunflower seeds, flavorful beans, and fresh guacamole. Every part of the meal was excellent. My son loved his burrito, and everyone at our table was happy with what they ordered. We finished with the flan, which was one of the best I've had--smooth, rich, and not overly sweet. Even the coffee was served in a beautiful traditional Mexican ceramic cup, which made the experience feel even more special. You can truly feel the love and care that goes into both the food and the hospitality here. If you're driving between Orange County and Las Vegas, this restaurant is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be coming back on our next trip!
