The food was decent, but the three drawbacks for me were the deceptive credit card fee disclosure,…read morelimited street parking, and quantity for the price. Heads up to people that there is a 4% card fee. The sign says very specifically in handwriting that the fee is 3.87% and when asked about it, the staff said oh the machine just rounds up. The heck is the sign so specific to the number then can't just state 4%, which is high either way. Also, got the lomo saltado and more than half the container was rice. Rotisserie chicken was good. However, considering everything, I'll just stick with Mario's for my lomo and pollo a la brasa for my rotisserie chicken.

What I Ordered:…read more -Combo Meal #2 1/4 Chicken w/Rice, French Fries & Soda $18.07 I've been craving rotisserie chicken for a while, and I'm not a fan of Costco's, which is a shame since we go there often. I had a few other places in mind, but I recently read an Eater LA article touting this decades-old, Peruvian, wood-fired rotisserie chicken spot as having the best in LA. I knew I had to try it before anything else. Pollos El Brasero isn't close, but I was heading to work in Santa Monica and decided to stop in. The staff made recommendations, but I was determined to try the rotisserie chicken. The gentleman at the register suggested the Combo Meal #2 (1/4 chicken with rice, fries, and soda) since I was hungry, and I definitely was! They brought the food to my table, and it was incredibly fast; it arrived within five minutes. I was impressed with the portion size for the price. I was a little disappointed that the chicken wing was slightly burnt. I do enjoy a good char, but burnt food isn't my favorite. I was a bit hesitant to ask for a new piece, so I ate it anyway, as it was only a small part. The chicken skin was perfectly seasoned and flavorful! I was impressed by how moist and tender the chicken was. It came with a generous serving of white rice and french fries, both of which I would order again. The fries were excellent, seeming double-fried with the perfect amount of crunch. The portion size for the price was a great deal, and it even included a soda. I chose Inca Kola, a Peruvian golden cola, which is a nice touch as restaurants usually charge extra for imported sodas. I appreciate them including it with the Combo Special. I regret not ordering more chicken; it was that good! I considered getting more, but I was too full. I'll definitely be back to try the half chicken next time. I've tried two other Pollo a la brasa spots in LA, and this place has the best aji verde, especially if you like spice. Definitely get extra green sauce! I'd like to try the salad and beans next time. I'll definitely ask for extra sauce. They offer a red sauce and a green sauce; the green, aji verde, has a nice kick, while the red has a sweeter flavor. I will definitely be back to enjoy this delicious rotisserie chicken!

Often, I find other restaurants make their bulgogi too sweet -- not at Royal Box. They know what they are doing, and you can tell everything is made with love. AND... They spelled my name right on my order. Smart, talented humans feeding my belly? Yes, please. I'll be back soon, Royal Box!!

Waited another about 10 until food came, was offered a few drinks for the long wait then when she went to grab them they didn't have any either. UPDATED REVIEW: (No tip added after review) Appreciate the response from the owners and truly not meaning to bash them at all, just including my POV in ordering from them. Food was pretty good, the lavash wrap it self was kind of bland but the fries were really good.

They had 3-4 tables with covered overhang. They sold a lot of drinks and che (Vietnamese pudding dessert) too. The prices were fair. The location was great and made me feel like I was actually in Saigon (without the hot weather). The bad: The mayonnaise wasn't made in-house (the yellow homemade mayonnaise is usually what's used in banh mi). It was white and in a giant jar. The interesting: My husband preferred this banh mi over the stand outside of Saigon center.

They also offer smoothies and a really good seafood noodle if you want to switch things up. It's my quick go-to spot when I need something satisfying and delicious.

EXCELLENT PORK BANH MI IN SILVERLAKE…read more=================================== My son was in the mood for a Banh Mi sandwich so we schlepped ourselves all the way over to Silverlake from La Canada to pick some up. That is a round trip of twenty two miles for us. We tend to bend over backwards when my son is in town because he lives so far away. Parking was definitely a challenge for sure. We drove around the block with no luck and finally parked on Hyperion about an eighth of a mile south of the restaurant. Mind you none of the parking meters were working and we just prayed we did not get a ticket. We took the sandwiches to go and got back to the car before getting a ticket. My husband and son ordered the beef steak banh mi. My pork banh mi was definitely the winner for everyone except my husband who doesn't eat pork. I know my son wished he would have ordered pork, but I let him have some of mine. All the sandwiches are $15.00 each. They only sell limited drinks so if you eat there you might want to bring your own. They did not have any Diet Pepsi or Diet Coke, so my husband was not prepared. We ended up schlepping our sandwiches all the way back to La Canada to eat, but they were really good.

Fast service, perfectly pickled Bahn mi's with a side of hot dipping broth. The Lemongrass chicken bahn mi is my favorite. it's juicy and has a great sauce.

*** Cash or Zelle only ***…read more Alejandra's Quesadilla is a food cart located in Echo Park (more specifically right next to LADOT Lot 643 - 1147 Echo Park Ave). The food cart specializes in blue corn quesadillas. The food cart has been around for 20 years and is now run by Alejandra's daughter. [Parking]: Metered street parking is available or just park at LADOT Lot 643. [Atmosphere]: Takeout only and our party ended up eating the quesadilla in my car. [Ordering]: One of the ladies took my order and another lady did the grilling. Once the quesadillas are ready, customers can add various condiments like cactus, mild salsa, red salsa, and cilantro. The cart is quite popular and our party had to wait approximately 15 minutes on Sunday at 6:15 PM. All quesadillas are cooked to order and the lady manually pressed every blue corn tortilla by hand. [Menu]: The cart offers chicken, pork, chorizo, squash blossoms (flor de calabaza), chicharrón, potato, and huitlacoche (corn smut, or the "Mexican truffle"). Customers can mix and match fillings like chorizo and potato. *** Squash Blossom Quesadilla ($8): The order came with an extra piece of skirt steak. This quesadilla tasted much better than I had expected and it was actually quite delicious. I was a big fan of the mild green salsa and it definitely enhanced the overall flavor. *** It was an unexpected street food find and I can actually see myself revisiting this food cart and try different quesadilla options whenever I am in the Echo Park area.

What a hidden gem at the ROW DTLA! Stopped by with some friends and I tried the golden chicken…read moresandwich, which consists of Japanese style fried chicken on a golden turmeric bun, picked daikon, water grass, alfalfa spouts, lemon aioli, and miso jam. You can make it spicy for an extra dollar. The sandwich was absolutely amazing - the chicken was so juicy and flavorful and everything from the bun to the sprouts and pickled daikon inside made it such a yummy burst of flavors and textures. 2 hour free parking at the Row parking structure which makes visiting convenient!

Pikunico is what happens when fried chicken goes to art school but still remembers where it came…read morefrom. I came for the chicken and stayed because every bite made me pause for a second. Crispy, juicy, and somehow not as heavy as fried chicken usually feels. It's the kind of meal that makes you think, "Maybe I should eat better," while actively eating fried chicken. The place is small, the menu is focused, and nobody is trying to reinvent food with foam or tweezers. They're just making really good chicken. It gets busy at the Row, but that's because people have figured it out. You walk in hungry and walk out wondering if it's too soon to come back tomorrow. I left full, happy, and with exactly zero regrets.
