    I took my cousin here for her birthday and was extremely disappointed. She chose this restaurant because she had a great experience some time ago. The food here was great I'd give it a solid 8/10. The service, however, was a 2/10 at most. Our server, whose name was stated as Jonathan on the receipt (as he didn't introduce himself), was not attentive at all. There's no need to linger but the bare minimum is to check in with guests. Especially because some items were not satisfactory or forgotten. It felt like we were forcing someone to come back over. I'd understand if it's busy, but the restaurant was completely empty. I normally don't do this but seriously, your team needs to do better. Overall 1/5

    Had a nice lunch here with family today. Lots of options on the menu, which is nice. They also had quite a few vegan options and were accommodating, which was perfect for us. The flautus were great, as was the burrito. The Asada Plate was disappointing and a thicker cut of meat. It didn't feel like a true carne asada. I recommend going with something else. Service was good. Ambiance fit the entire vibe. It's dark, but tons of tables and space. Overall, definitely worth checking out.

    Went two weeks ago with friends. It was afternoon and the place was empty, maybe cause it had been a rainy day. Anyways, the place looked pretty and staff was nice. There are a few vegan options, which is options great, but the food was mostly bland. My friends who had non vegan food said the same. The drinks were ok, nothing special either.

    The food was decent. Drinks were strong and decent. Service wasn't the best. It took a long time for the servers to even walk over to us. We completely felt ignored and the restarting wasn't even half full on a Sunday brunch. The music was good. Parking is hard so plan ahead.

    Stopped by around 5 PM on a Saturday and left pretty underwhelmed. The vibe and aesthetic are definitely the highlight--stylish decor with lively music that makes it feel like it would be much better at night. Drinks were fine, nothing memorable. Food felt basic and overpriced, especially the nachos. Service was the biggest letdown--slow and inattentive, with only the bartender really doing anything. Overall, it's a nice spot for the atmosphere and maybe a drink with friends, but don't expect standout food or great service.

    Baja Shrimp Tacos
    Alysha J.

    Everything at Mi Corazón Mexican Cuisine was absolutely amazing! Every dish was bursting with flavor. The chicken flautas were perfectly seasoned and so crispy--seriously some of the best I've ever had. We also had guacamole, three orders of Baja shrimp tacos, and a cheese quesadilla, and every bite was delicious. Drinks were on point too: Coco margarita, mimosa, and the August Fresca hibiscus were all perfect complements to the meal. Service was A+, and the DJ had the music bumping, making the atmosphere lively and fun.

    Bottomless Mimosa
    Kevin G.

    Absolutely flavorful, delicious, & perfect amount of spices. The service was amazing & they were really attentive. We ordered bottomless Mimosas & I got the combo plate & my date got the chilaquiles. Rice was nice & soft with lots of flavor & the beans were really good. Everything about the food was amazing & I will definitely be coming back here.

    Taco Tuesday
    Kenneth E.

    Came here on world series day and Taco Tuesday. I don't think they were expecting so many people so service was a bit slow but friendly. Overall we had the tacos and the carne asada fries. All we're good and decently priced especially for Taco Tuesday but I'll say that none of the menus matched on prices so it's a bit confusing what's on sale. Definitely needed to ask for menus and clarification but they were nice about it. Overall a cool place for taco Tuesday and will be back!

    Flautas

    Stopped by here a few Fridays ago. I always drive by the area and I've always seen the unique decor from the outside and finally got a chance to check this spot out. The inside looks as spectacular as the outside. It has a very modern, dark, slightly goth artistic vibe and I love it. Sat down at the bar and checked out the menu. They have an extensive list of spirits which made it very difficult to choose. But I went with the Old Fashion de Oaxaca since I'm a bourbon guy but wanted to try something different and this mixed the basics of a traditional old fashion with mezcal. For sure a 5/5. Zyla (not sure if that's how you spell her name) the bartender was super friendly and helpful. I decided on the chicken flautas and the queso fundido. The portions are pretty decent for the price so no complaints there! Flautas were crispy and chicken seasoned well and the queso fundido was phenomenal. Definitely will be heading back there soon.

    Came here for my father's birthday celebration and I had a good time. I like how when you first enter it looks like you're out of town, it gives you vacation vibes andit reminds you of A Cabo Cantina, with live music and plenty people having a good time. We came in the evening on a Sunday which they do have brunch prior on the weekend but it looks like it was still popping for dinner time as well. From my food I ordered the guacamole which was so good and flavorful and they make it fresh so they didn't put any people the guy up per my request in for my entrée. I ordered the Carnitas tacos which was good as well and also for my advertiser, which they charge you for is not complementary, but they have really good chips and salsa I recommend asking for that . Their drinks are really good too. I didn't take a picture of my Cadillac margarita but it was very good and all you need is one pretty much so you don't ripped off at all. The service was actually a exceptional having a huge party and you can tell they were shortstaffed, but they were very professional and very amicable, the whole entire time patient celebrated her birthday with friends in Miami even though it was pretty busy at the bar area and we had to wait a long time they still was very professional and attentive to us, and made sure Everything was right for our order. The only thing I didn't like is that the Russian were really dirty and I don't know because they were shortstaffed and it was Sunday brunch earlier that they didn't have time to clean the restroom but I feel like that should be a priority as well. It's no big deal, but having a clean restroom does matter a lot , hopefully next time when I come, it's cleaner than what it was this past Sunday. Inside it's not that big it's pretty small but they do have a little room if you want to have a celebration for maybe around 15 to 20 people that it holds. They also have a good brunch menu that I do want to try next time I come. However, the parking is not convenient they barely have parking on the freezer. You have to walk up a hill on the side street really far because it's nowhere to park but Street parking I do feel like they can have a valet service or something to make it easier for their patrons. Overall, I would definitely come back here. I am going to come back for brunch and definitely make sure I come back to get some more guacamole. I had a good time here and I'm sure for brunch is going to be a good time. -Marshay D.

    I really liked this spot for a little fun brunch and the decor was on point, they had a dj on site which made it awesome and the drinks were good and food was delicious Only complaint was service was slow the one bartender was serving us and serving the bar and talking to all of his coworkers while we were super thirsty but we just got up and got our own water but everything else was great

    We came here this past weekend to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday--and let me tell you, this place blew away our expectations. From the outside, it might look like just another trendy brunch spot. But the moment we stepped inside, we knew we were in for something special. The vibe was electric, the energy contagious, and the experience? Nothing short of unforgettable. We were seated right away, which was a great start. My girlfriend and her friends opted for the bottomless mimosas and had an absolute blast. The service kept the drinks flowing and the good vibes going. The food? Delicious. Yes, it was a bit pricier than other brunch spots in the area, but in this case, the price felt justified--largely thanks to the phenomenal DJ. This wasn't just someone spinning a playlist in the background. This DJ had the entire restaurant on their feet--people were dancing between bites, raising glasses, and vibing like it was a Saturday night at the hottest club in town. In fact, I've seen DJs in actual clubs who couldn't hold a candle to the talent this place had behind the booth. Whoever's booking the music here deserves a raise. If you're looking for an ordinary brunch, this might not be your place. But if you want great food, endless drinks, amazing music, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're on vacation, look no further. We'll absolutely be back--and next time, we're bringing even more friends.

    Michelada! 10/10

    Is there a dj on Saturday nights and what kind of music is it?

    Some nights and days, but it's not like a cool lounge. The service is BEYOND terrible and the food has zero flavor. Menu is totally uninspired. I took 1 hour to decide bc it was THAT boring. I suggest a different place entirely.

    Does the restaurant have parking?

    Street parking only might be a bit difficult finding parking.

    Can I make reservations for tomorrow 6 people?

    hi...yes, just let me know what time and we will set you up!

    Is there a DJ for brunch on Saturday's and Sundays?

    Yes. every Saturday and Sunday from 12-4pm

    Do you have to be 21+ to eat there?

    No, you can just order food.

    Is there happy hour every day during the week?

    There's no happy hour, but their Margaritas are very reasonably priced, just go for the double.😉

    How much is for bottomless mimosas?

    25 dollars

    First come first serve seating only?

    They take reservations

    How can I make a reservation? Every time I call no one picks up

    You can leave a message or DM on Instagram

    What are the Brunch hours? Is brunch available on Saturdays?

    Brunch is 11-4 Sat and Sun

    Is there a mariachi band?

    No, this is not a traditional Mexican restaurant. It is a nuevo-tradicional Mexican cuisine in a modern mexi-goth atmosphere.

    Do they have bottomless mimosas?

    Yes

    Are you open Tuesdays?

    Yes they are

    What time is Brunch on Saturdays?

    11am

    Hi All. What is recommendations for a large party of 12? My Birthday is coming up and wanted to celebrate it with mi corazón. Good idea?

    Hi Cezar, I highly recommend Mi Corazon and they do accommodate large parties. They have a large table where all your guests can sit so you have some privacy. Just call in advance. The food is great and the vibes are great.

    Has anyone seen a menu online?

    Rebecca, Our website is currently under construction however you can view our sister restaurant at mi-corazon.net. We have a similar menu with additional vegan options.

And it doesn't leave me wanting more. The presentation looks great for pictures but don't be fool. The food and drink is mediocre. Cheap alcohol was used that burns when swallowed, some drinks I couldn't finish it because it doesn't taste great. It was so hot and stuffy inside (when it's still April and cold outside). The ac should be turned on for air flow since it's such a small hole in the wall bar style sitting with very low ceiling. Hardly any room to walk when there's ppl sitting down on the stool. So the stuffiness and being hot made the experience even more unpleasant. On top of all that, the lady behind the counter was touching everything including the food with her bare hands. Not once did I see her wash it between preparing, servings and cleaning the counter. Plus, napkins wasn't given when needed. When asked, she handed one tiny thin small square napkin per person ‍. Sanitation and cleanliness for the food isn't all there for the $100 mandatory tips per person is ridiculous to me. Tips shouldn't be mandatory anywhere. Plus, even with the time of our reservation. The host, John, emailed us to change our time to a later schedule.. like from 6pm to 9pm. Are you kidding me? If we wanted that time slot then we would have picked it instead of making reservation at 6pm on a Thursday night. Overall, it's just a one time experience that doesn't make me go wow.. I wouldn't want to come back because the food and drinks pairing doesn't go well together. I had better.

Outdoor patio seating is great, and reminds of eating outdoors in a European cafe. Indoor seating is a little cramped if you're at one of the tables, which also sort of mimics European cafes. My one small knock on this restaurant is the service has been inconsistent. Couple times our waiter was great, but a couple times it was hard to flag them down, they didn't space out the dishes very well as the appetizers and entrees all came out the same time, or they forgot to bring water when we asked for it. Small things to complain about overall though.

With the seemingly ever-changing landscape along Brand Blvd. in downtown Glendale, this establishment has been around since 2012 (which I believe was the first and only time I came here). Primarily known for its inventive craft cocktails and a killer whiskey selection, it was a nice place to sneak away into before or after your main event... or, maybe this could be the place to spend an entire evening. Would this bar famously make an impression on me to remember to return in the future!?

I appreciated the exposed brick walls which gave it that old-time feel with a few framed pictures hung on them. Minimal natural lighting came through the front doors and windows while minimal electric ceiling lights filled in rest. There was at least one projection TV where we watched the Dodgers game while music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=SomLKsk1KVcemeOCHGOZfg ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL It was nice to slip into The Famous Bar for the first time in over a decade, and if I found myself spending time in downtown Glendale again, I'd consider another visit. Sadly, I try to avoid the highly congested area as much as possible. I loved the fact that they had a daily happy hour (4pm-7pm) and late-night SU-TH happy hours (10:30pm-close), so there was always a deal to be found. The drinks were the main reason you came, while the food was just an add-on. The prices were elevated, but you had a good menu selection of libations (nice local craft beer list) to choose from. The customer service was easy, friendly, and straightforward. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $42.00 BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...

    The food, drinks, and service is amazing!!!…read more The ambiance of this place makes me feel like I've been transported to Hawaii.

    The Lucky Tiki in Highland Park is the sister location of the original Lucky Tiki in West…read moreHollywood. This spot opened about a year ago, and has a cool speakeasy style entrance at the Highland Park Bowl bowling alley. It is a small space, and I would highly recommend making a reservation on Resy. You have 90 minutes to drink and dine. I parked behind the bowling alley where there is a medium sized pay parking lot. Park in a space, remember your space number painted on the ground, and go to the pay station at the end of the lot. I found the parking machine to be extremely finicky as did other people. After ten minutes of failure, I ended up moving my car to another space, and then it worked. This has nothing to do with the Lucky Tiki, but FYI if you park there. We walked around to the front of the bowling alley, and checked in. Seating options include at the bar, tiki hut booths, and high top tables. The décor inside is a tiki lovers paradise. The room has a high ceiling with many tiki lamps, floats, puffer fish, tiki huts, thatch, ropes, barrels, netting, carvings, a hanging canoe, and a large tiki right in the middle of the space. In addition to the great décor, when you order certain drinks, special effects are triggered. There was also great tiki music playing all evening. We sat at the bar since we always enjoy talking to the bartenders. We actually ran into Skipper Christian in the parking lot on the way in, and he ended up being our main bartender, with Nick and Jo also working behind the bar. We put in a food order right away. The chicken potstickers ($12) came with five tasty bites, and the garlic teriyaki dipping sauce was good. We also had the giant pretzel ($16) which comes with mustard, beer cheese, and ranch sauces. This was excellent, and the perfect filling snack before a bunch of drinks. My first drink was the Siren's Song (Flor de Cana Eco rum, lemon juice, cassis, Oloroso sherry, apricot foam topper, $19). This drink is served in a great mermaid with skull mug and triggers special sound effects and bubbles fill the air. Those bubbles on top of the drink had a great light citrusy apricot flavor, probably the best flavored bubbles I've ever had. The drink itself was very good and balanced with some complexity. She wasn't sure what to order at first, and Christian asked her what flavors she liked. He ended up making a spin on a Tradewinds with some mango and pineapple to go along with the apricot and coconut. It was nicely balanced and not too sweet, even with all that fruit in there. My second drink was the Sun of Suns (Tierra de Acre mezcal, coconut cream, Giffard mango liqueur, pineapple juice, lime juice, $17). This was coconut and pineapple forward with some good smokiness in the background. Her second drink was the Whatever Floats Your Boat (Ford's gin, lemon juice, velvet falernum, orgeat, passion fruit syrup, guava soda, topped with hazelnut passion fruit foam, $19). It is served in a cool boat mug, and triggers thunder sound effects and lighted mechanical Polynesian tiki characters paddling a canoe over the bar. This was another good balanced drink. It was a little gin forward and the passion fruit popped out, maybe from being both in the drink and the foam top. That creamy hazelnut passion fruit form on top is delicious. I'd happily have a glass of that on its own. We were still a little hungry so we ordered the Hawaiian pizza (marinara, diced pepperoni, red onion, pineapple chunks, hot capicola ham, $16). It was another good tasting, perfectly sized snack, and the crust was light and airy. We were already fifteen minutes over our time limit, but we got the green light to stay longer to order a third drink to share. We ordered the Tiki Diablo (Flor de Cana Eco rum, Worthy Park 109 rum, Alma Tepecha chile liqueur, orange juice, lime juice, mango syrup, guava soda, $24). This drink serves two people, is served in a cool volcano bowl with glowing red lava around it, and comes with a fire show. Unfortunately, right after it was served, the host came over and said we were over our time and had to leave shortly. Christian made up for it by giving us two tall pours to go enjoy in the bowling alley bar area which was fine. We were happy we got some extra time inside. The drink was also very good, balanced with a little complexity. We had a great time. There is so much great décor to look at. The drinks and food were very good, and some of the the drink presentations and special effects were the icing on the cake. All of the bartenders were very friendly and a lot of fun. We purchased up a few zombie glasses to take home as a souvenir. I'd definitely recommend visiting the Lucky Tiki in Highland Park!

    I don't usually leave reviews, because who has time for that, but i wanted to highlight our amazing…read more first time experience at MoMed and felt the need to shout out Tiana, our sever. Atmosphere:I went with my gusband on a weekday night, the place was not busy. The vibe/atmosphere is gorgeous! Not pretentious , yet upscale. modern, boho, and elegant in an accessible way that makes you feel welcome. The open air concept is right up my alley, especially during a warm summer night. For those complaining about the train: we're not in the suburbs! This is Los Angeles! The train was one of my favorite parts of the whole experience! It is not common to be able to dine at a Michelin restaurant tucked away in a quiet neighborhood that is so close to the heart of the city. I loved watching the train go by! Food: Wow. Bread, the sauces , the flavors. I don't think i need to say more, i was blown away. We had starters and a main and it was just right. WIne : Another 5 star experience. I was impressed with the wine selection, not something easily accomplished . I KNOW my wines, and Momed did not disappoint. Price points were very fair, too. We had a Croatian Rose and a bottle of the Assyrtiko. PLEASE keep these on your wine list! Service: Tiana was the star of the show. We invited her to sit and have a glass of our fabulous Assyrtiko, but she politely declined. We just really enjoyed having a real server that talked to us like humans, something not so common for LA. Management: You scored by hiring this woman, shes a gem. Thanks girl, you made our night even more fun than :) Im already planning our return :)

The only slight downside is its location right next to the train tracks , when a train passes, it creates quite a bit of noise, but it didn't ruin the lively vibe of our dinner. The Food The fusion Mediterranean menu has plenty of great options, and we definitely stuffed ourselves: House-Made Pita Bread: An absolute must-order. It comes out warm, fluffy, and fresh--we loved it so much we ended up eating five orders. Paired perfectly with the dips and cherry tomato spread. Whole Dorade: A major highlight of the table. Perfectly cooked fish served in a rich, savory cherry tomato sauce. Beef Shish Kabob: Incredibly tender, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor. Grilled Octopus: Flavors and presentation were nice, though the texture was a bit tough and over-charred/grilled on our visit. Service & Final Thoughts The service was warm, attentive, and kept everything moving smoothly all night. Aside from the train noise and the slightly overdone octopus, everything else hit the spot. Great food, great company, and we'll definitely be back for the fish and pita bread!
