I had a craving for Esco's pizza (a telltale sign that Esco's has now occupied my brain more than the neighboring pizzerias) so I popped in on a Sunday and found that they had slices of oxtail pizza. I immediately ordered it. They also had jerk chicken pizza and a chicken pesto pizza. After talking to the woman behind the counter, I decided to order pesto pizza, since she recommended it and it was the best decision! The chicken pesto pizza is so flavorful. Chicken pieces were cooked tender, not dry and it was fully marinated in the pesto. Great fresh tastes of basil, Parmesan cheese and the pine nuts, one slice was enough to be a satisfying meal. Buuut, I didn't in this case, because I still had the oxtail! The beef was tender with a slight crispy edge and was served generously on the slice. Jalapeno slices add just the right amount of heat. It comes with a a side of consomme where you can dip your pizza. I would definitely come back for both slices. People from Esco's are mad friendly and hospitable which is a huge pull for me. Bumped up the rating a star!

Esco's New York Pizza is a solid, mid‑tier slice shop with some bright spots and a few trade‑offs…read more The pies are definitely large, and the slices are true NY‑style huge, but the price runs a little high for what you get. The crust is thin, the slices fold the way they should, and everything lands in the "decent" category -- nothing mind‑blowing, but nothing disappointing either. It's the kind of place you hit when you want a quick, familiar, New York-style slice, and you don't mind paying a bit extra for the convenience and size. Overall, decent pizza at a premium, but it gets the job done.

They said that they offer "paint and brunch" at 11am on Sundays. I'll definitely be back -- one of my new fav spots!

I ve been ordering delivery from this place every two weeks for the past year and a half , HOWEVER shrinkflation hits hard here , I totally understand that COGS went up the roof , but come on.

After driving past this place a thousand times (yes, a thousand), I finally stopped in. And I'm…read moreglad I did. I went with my Thai go-to: yellow curry with chicken. Which was super nice. The sauce was flavorful without being sickly sweet, while the chicken, potatoes, and carrots were also of good quality. They were also small-ish pieces, not the huge ones you sometimes get, though the portions of them was actually large. So large, in fact, that I sort of regret getting something else as well. Sort of. I also got the Crispy Wontons, which were thin but still tasty, and rather filling (you get six). But as good as they were, they and the curry was too much. It also didn't help that, along with the white rice that came with my curry, I got something they call Healthy Rice, which is (according to the menu), "wild black rice, brown rice, [and] red quinoa" (I actually thought I was getting the Healthy Rice instead of the white, but whatever.) It was okay; the white rice was much better, especially when it had some yellow curry sauce on it. And no, to answer the obvious question, I didn't eat all of the rice. Just all of the white and some of the Healthy. As for the place itself, it was clean, and the staff were very friendly. The food also came out in a decent amount of time, and was nice and hot when it did. The place is small, though. There's maybe a dozen seats outside, and fewer inside, which may explain why most of the people who came in walked out with a bag a minute later. Also, the seats outside were wooden stools, which didn't bother me, but it would've been an issue for my elderly mother, and thus other people as well. Oh, and this has become a thing with me and resteraunts lately: napkins and utensils. Thankfully, this place's napkins were the big kind, and they gave me two of them, while the utensils were real and metal, not plastic. In fact, the only bad thing about the place is that it's on La Brea, and a block below Wilshire, so parking may be an issue. They do have valet at night, but I didn't check to see how much it was. But it wasn't so bad that I won't be back. I just won't order so much.

My favorites are My Son's Pho (it's my favorite pho on the West side) and the N Seoul Bowl (which is light but hearty and the portion is so generous I always have leftovers for lunch). The Sunset Strip Burger is a major crowd pleaser. The Northern Lights pasta is cravable. The service is always warm and welcoming, but never hover. Love the staff. And it's usually quiet inside, pretty small. We've never had to wait for a table. It's such a gem, we were instantly hooked. I just wish I'd known about it sooner.

I'm actually surprised that I haven't cuz I'd been to this place two or possibly three times already. I was one of their early customers when they first started. I vividly remember how I first met Valerie. Not knowing that she's actually the owner, I've witnessed how she's fully hands on with the business. She was the person behind the counter who greeted me as soon as I came in, took my order, and personally brought it to my table. She's very humble, soft spoken, but still made me my visit very comfortable. The vegan menu is pretty simple and very straightforward. What you see is what you get. Everything I've tried were all very good. I heard they also started making vegan cakes which I have to try on my next visit. I'll be sad though cuz I'll miss Valerie's smiling face. May you Rest In Peace, Valerie.

I ordered the Classic…read moreCheeseburger--it's a Beyond Burger, but the kitchen gives it this subtle, flavorful upgrade that leaves most of the uninspired vegan burgers I've had on my travels in the dust. It's easily my new go-to. Pro tip: Since I was ordering delivery, I called the restaurant directly right after placing it to ask if they'd leave the patty on the grill just a touch longer than usual. They were so sweet about it and executed it flawlessly. Also, can we talk about the coleslaw? I usually steer clear of restaurant slaw because so many places drown it in heavy, uninviting mayo. But Sunshine absolutely delivered. Their dressing is beautifully light and slightly sweet--honestly, it makes an amazing burger topping. So many vegan spots rely way too heavily on processed, hyper-engineered faux meats and cheeses. This place strikes such a lovely, authentic balance. You can get a genuinely vibrant, healthy bowl, or dive into comfort food classics like their mean vegan chicken sandwich--and I hear the sweet potato fries are a fantastic side, too. To top it all off, the female owners are absolute gems. Even over the phone, they treat everyone with this effortless, warm hospitality that makes you feel like an old friend. It's just great energy all around. Check them out!

Cute taco spot that shares a space with a brewery and arcade games!…read more Coconut Cream Horchata (5/5): liked that theirs is dairy free and not too sweet. Carne Asada Taco (5/5): flavorful and delicious, my favorite taco here. Slow Braised Steak Taco (4/5): the meat was nice and tender. Chicken Taco (4/5): solid if you like chicken. Pepperoni Pizza (3.5/5): definitely don't expect a regular pizza as this is made with thin crispy tortillas, could use some more flavor. Overall great spot for tacos! We wanted to try the shrimp taco and ceviche but they were out of shrimp that day, hopefully we can try it next time. Employees were very friendly.

Along with these, I've also ordered their coconut cream horchata. I think all of these taste somewhat off.. it's either bland, or the salsa is missing something that gives it that authentic kick. But recently, I had fish battered & braised pork tacos and all of the tortillas were extremely hard. The menu isn't cheap, so this place needs to do a lot more to make their food more tasty. There are tons of taco trucks and stands around the area!
