    Delicious 1/2 Chicken with Turmeric Rice
    Mike R.

    Pontu is fantastic, and a welcome addition to the Ocean Park strip. Within walking distance of the airport and Snapchat, they took over the old OP location and deserve your business. Chicken is fantastic, as are the sides and the sauces. They'll be expanding their menu to include Peruvian Crudo. Check this place out. The service is great and everyone is super friendly.

    Sweet cozy patio

    Chef Richi & his lovely team at PonTu are making some of the most flavorful, plentiful Peruvian food on the Westside. You can tell it's cooked with so much love! The rotisserie chicken a la brasa is cooked to perfection, so juicy and tender. The arroz a la jardinera is my fave side, so tasty. Everything, all the salads & veg are super fresh! And the sauces are beyond the beyond amazing! The outdoor patio is quiet, cozy and sweet. The atmosphere is warm and wonderful. Street parking on Ocean Park Blvd is metered and easy. I have been twice already and plan to come often. Please visit! Let's keep our local, beautiful restaurants going! We need little neighborhood places like PonTu where the food, the people and the service are simply delightful! Ok, go!

The workers are so nice. They're so accommodating. There's always a great ambience. There's always nice people in In-N-Out good conversations. In-N-Out just brings a certain vibe that you can't get at other burger places. I got the double double animal style no pickles and animal style fries and it hits every single time Burger nice juicy fresh right off the grill. The animal style fries saved their fries because they're regular fries aren't that great but animal style with the sauce the spread the cheese absolutely delicious well 100% go to In-N-Out if it's available 10 out of 10 times.

    In-N-Out was one of the places I was most excited to try since we don't have it in my state but…read moreunfortunately it was a huge disappointment. My burger was incredibly dry and the bun was so overtoasted that parts of it were hard and black black. The fries were bland and didn't seem to have any salt on them. Overall, I just didn't enjoy the food at all. To make matters worse, finding parking was a challenge because the drive thru line was completely wrapped around the building. Considering all the other burger spots we passed that looked much better, I wish we had chosen one of those instead. Sadly, I wouldn't go back or recommend it.

    For some reason -- I always didn't want to go to Jack in the Box. I don't enjoy eating fast food as…read moremy meals and when I absolutely have to, I already have first picks and second picks in the back of my head so despite living next to one for a full year, I never went here. The first time I went was back in 2015 for breakfast on a roadtrip to Charlotte and that was also my only time, until this visit. My friends were having some wholesome fun and birding around Westwood around 2:30-3am and we were gettin hungry. We saw that Jack in the Box was open 24 hours so we headed here only to find out that only the drive-thru is open 24 hours. There weren't other enticing restaurants open in that area so we checked to see if they would consider "birding" as a drive-thru option. Fortunately -- THEY DID. We were able to place our orders -- we got mini tacos, churros, large curly fries and cheesecake. We didn't want meals but more munchies and snacks. We birded back home and dug in as soon as we did. Ok - the mini tacos? Absolutely FIRE. It's $4 for like 12 bite sized tacos that are all folded up. It's really interesting. Plus the filling does not look that appetizing. It's like processed chili. But I don't know -- for some reason the tacos just late at night were sooooo good. They give you hot sauce and they also give you this avocado like sauce and those pair great too with the taco. You can also get them loaded and it comes with cheese sauce, veggies and salsa almost like a nacho.. with mini tacos. The churro was also really good -- pretty impressive for fast food churros. The inside had this cream filling too that made it even better. Highly recommend. The curly fries were also really good and the cheesecake was also really impressive for fast food dessert. It was an amazing time and this makes me realize that I need to give things a go before I completely block it out! We now had the best late night snack. I unfortunately live in Georgia so I don't have one in my state (which I find so weird because there's literally one every state but us in the Southeast) but I will definitely keep this in mind for the future and I hope they open one in GA soon!

    They give old tacos which are past the time limit. They refry them leaving them super wilted and…read moresoggy. This happens for all drive thru orders! They do the same for the chicken wraps.

Nabbed the BBQ burg and I can totally appreciate the lettuce, tomato and onion that came along with the bacon, onion rings and BBQ sauce because a lot of places skip those traditional aspects cause they think that smash = pass...nah nah to those pedejos. These guys NAILED IT! Customer service was super friendly and efficient. Inside, the joint had cool neons that would be dope at night and a fun paint scheme. All in all, give it a go!

You will not be disappointed! You will leave very satisfied and happy. Their burgers are bursting with flavor. They add a lot of the toppings that are supposed to go in the burger. Every bite you were able to get a taste of the toppings. Despite the patty being smashed down it was still very juicy and full of flavor. Their fries were amazing, I really enjoyed them with the burger. The fries have the perfect balance of crispy and soft, making them some of the best fries I've ever had. The customer service was great. They knew we wanted to share the burgers and without asking they cut them in half. Adding this simple touch made us know that they pay attention to their customers and care about providing the best service. The workers were hard at work the whole time and seemed to care about the food they were preparing. Very kind and genuine workers. The inside of the restaurant gave a laid back atmosphere. Making it a great spot to go to after a long day at the beach.
