    a tray of mexican food including tortilla, salsa, and tortilla chips

    RENDEZVOUS WEST - UCLA 10/10 -- Review: oh how i missed you rendezvous. what even is chipotle? UCLA and i are blessed to receive this magnificent creation of a dining restaurant. like how lucky can i be to swipe everyday and every meal at this place in college!!! the way they fill up my steak bowl with such passion and scoop tons of meat and veggies. i love every worker here and how much love they put into this food. i also get tortilla on the side and wrap a bigger burrito myself . thank you UCLA

    Summer menu: fish burrito, chicken plates, and spinach and mushroom quesadilla

    Rende is one of my favorite places to eat on the hill at UCLA, especially if you want to get something quickly to-go. I absolutely LOVE the Mexican side and usually don't like the Asian side. Asian Side: I usually never get the combos from Rende East since none of the food there is really that appealing or authentic. There are times when I crave chow mein and get it, but I'm always disappointed and usually throw half of it away. But there are a daily specials that I do actually really like: chicken catsu curry, mapo tofu ramen, vegetarian ramen, sushi bowls. Rende also has boba - it's not very good but it definitely fulfills my boba cravings when I need it. I like the milk tea and the Vietnamese iced coffee. Mexican Side: UGH I LOVE THE FOOD HERE! My all time favorite, go-to meal there is the spinach and mushroom quesadilla, omg sooooo delicious. And it all comes with rice and beans!! Also a big fan of their chicken and fish bowls! OH and their nachos are also fantastic! Tip: you can replace the Mexican rice with brown rice and the refried beans with black beans Tip: most meals come with guacamole and sour cream so make sure to mention if you don't want one of them Tip: a lot of times you can replace the rice and beans for chips! Also I love eating here during the summer because it's basically all you can eat for just one swipe! WHAT A BARGAIN. (This is what's pictured and why everything is on a plate instead of to go boxes)

    No shame in my game...I probably use most of my swipes here (and mostly on taco salads and nachos). It's pretty darn good for dorm food, they have specials every single day on both the Mexican side and the Asian side. It's weird but c'mon where else would you have the option of choosing between a beef quesadilla or some bulgogi ramen? Honestly I never stray far from the Mexican side but there's always a line out the door for the Asian side so I'm guessing it can't be bad. They also have chorizo and machaca breakfast burritos and bacon bagel sandwiches in the morning. The only downside to this place is that it's not open over the weekend. Hooray for living about 20 steps from here!

    Since I don't live on campus anymore, I don't eat here anymore. But I stopped eating here at some point last year because I got so sick of the food. It's true: UCLA is one of the top rated universities for dorm food, but Rendezvous doesn't attribute much to that ranking. The only thing I could really eat from there was: Chinese side: orange chicken and white rice Mexican side: nachos or taco salad. Even that got disgusting/underwhelming after a while. A lot of their food is inedible because it's poorly cooked or too greasy. I remember feeling sick and getting sick after eating from here. Unfortunate. The only good thing about this place is a) you can take the food back to your dorm (can't do that with dining hall food) and b) the breakfast is pretty good (though the lines are ridic long and slow).

    Rendezvous is relatively far from campus. I like that they have special dish every day. The tofu dish in picture is pretty bland. The portion size is very large. Not too many seats inside.

    The Chinese dish in this canteen is great!I also love the milk tea. Start to miss everything in UCLA

    Rendezvous is one of my favorite places to eat at in terms of to-go on-campus dining options here at UCLA. In fact, I am writing this review as I wait in line for it to open (opens at 12pm for lunch). It is one of the further dining restaurants in that it is located up a steep hill and two sets of small stairs--I like to tell myself that I am really working for my food!! ;) Anyway, here is my breakdown: -Great options for to-go breakfast because other to-go places serve bagels and pastries but one can pick up breakfast burritos and more (check menu daily)! -One of the four to-go options on campus for there is a wider selection of cuisines like "Latin," and "Asian" cuisines (as their stations are called). -"Rende," as it is called by Bruins, has vegetarian options and daily specials such as: --Monday: Chipotle Chicken Burrito, BBQ Chicken (or Vegan) Quesadilla, Pork Tankatsu, Vegetarian Bento box --Tuesday: 3 taco combination (beef, chicken, al pastor), Potato Enchiladas, Bulgolgi bowl, Korean Vegetable Box --Wednesday: BBQ (or vegetarian) Chicken Quesadilla, Chicken (or vegan) Teriyaki box, --Thursday: Beef pho, California (or vegetarian) Burrito, teriyaki chicken bento box --Friday: Chicken (or potato) Enchildas, Shrimp Sushi bowl, Vegetarian Sushi Bowl --**Also have daily noodle bowls (check menu) -All entrees come with one drink -Dessert is sold after 9 P.M.--churros with hot chocolate or hot vanilla, Green Tea waffle with ice cream, or dessert nachos. -They also have a wide array of beverages with boba such as Horchata, Milk Tea, Thai Tea, Green Tea, and Taro. -There is a "Happy Hour" special from 2pm-4pm in which one can get a FREE 16oz Boba with meal on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Wednesdays. -There is a large seating area for students and staff to dine, unlike other to-go places. Everything at Rendezvous is average in taste, but it is still tasty! I mean, I definitely do not feel healthy when I eat here, but it is quick (because ain't nobody got time to eat in the dining halls sometimes) and it definitely has that street-food taste (and grease) that I crave from time-to-time. Tis' all!

    If you look closely, there is a small strand of hair. Found it in my pho.

    Very poor service. The food is overpriced and the staff treats customers like children in a cafeteria. Many better dining options at UCLA.

    I am so happy I finally got to try Dama! I absolutely love Antonia LaFasso so I've been dying to…read moretry one of her restaurants. Now when you pull up originally you might think, "am I in the right place" but once you park and get into the courtyard, it is LOVELY! Amazing ambience! There is a bocce set up, string lights. It is a little slice of oasis in the middle of the fashion district. The restaurant itself - beautiful. I couldn't ask for more. Absolutely perfect in my book. Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried. Unfortunately my friends had gone to Funke the night before so they were comparing the squash blossoms and Funke won out, but they still liked Dama's! Small plates were enough for the 3 of us. The service was quick and attentive. Parking was easy for us. I will definitely be back!

    We've probably been to Dama two dozen times. It's one of our regular spots and we love it…read more First of all the service is always great. The staff are lovely humans who really seem to care about their customers. We have some faves on the menu. The bean dip is fabulous and I'm addicted to the baby gem salad. They have recently amped up the filling in the delicious crispy squash blossoms and I love the acidity and heat. The fish is also a hit in my books. One dish that doesn't work for me is the lamb chops, which is a shame since it's my favorite protein. I've ordered them multiple times with clear instructions on temperature and have found them overcooked and tough. The beef tostada was just ok. Whilst I loved the pickled veg on the side, the beef was underseasoned. It wasn't bad - just not up to the standard of other dishes. The vibe in the place is welcoming and the restaurant is nicely appointed. We will continue to be regulars and it's really worth trying if you haven't been yet.

All dishes were shareable and there were certainly some remarkable ones. Starting with my most favorite the ceviche bites (I can't tell you exactly what it's called on the menu, but it was one bite that left you enticed for more!) if you like fish, certainly a must. My second favorite, the roasted rainbow carrots (the salsa macha was palatable all by itself!!). Third favorite, grilled chicken (again, not sure the name on the menu but, it was so juicy and perfect with the housemade tortillas). Other menu goodies, the steak (ribeye bites) tortillas with salsa/guacamole, carnitas (looked good), cactus appetizer, and cheese (and cactus?) quesadilla. Unfortunately, I think the menu was somewhat curated for the private party but I CERTAINLY think it's worth exploring. A lively atmosphere to add to it all!

The building is an original piece of the City's history, boasting a menu that features their famous burritos that vary in size from a regular to a huge party size beast that can feed several. I tried the Hollenbeck and the Okie burritos on two separate occasions via pick up, as aforementioned, the service was quick, convenient and the pick up window is seamless, parking is located next to the structure and I haven't had problems getting there. Hollenbeck was good but I definitely enjoyed the Okie burrito more, I ordered the "original" size once and didn't seem to learn my lesson the second time, these burritos can feed two in Original size. They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.
