came back to Ka'teen to finally try the Dine LA menu, and I'm so glad we did. This easily made my…read moretop 3 Dine LA experiences. The service was impeccable--everyone was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel special. We had to get the Michelada Oysters again because I had been craving them since our last visit. They were just as amazing as I remembered--fresh, perfectly seasoned, and seriously addicting. For Dine LA, I started with the Tostada Campechana, which was like an elevated ceviche with scallops, tuna, yellowtail, avocado, and a citrus sesame sauce. Everything tasted super fresh and the citrus gave it the perfect balance. The Bone Marrow Mole was rich, flavorful, and came with a generous portion and toast. For my main course, I had the skirt steak, which was cooked perfectly--tender, well-seasoned, and delicious with the green sauce. The homemade tortillas were amazing too. We ended with the Dulce de Leche Panna Cotta, and it was the perfect finish--creamy, smooth, not overly sweet, and so good we practically cleaned the plate. Amazing food, great portions, beautiful atmosphere, and excellent service. Ka'teen definitely delivered. I would absolutely come back again.

Such a cute restaurant! The inside is absolutely beautiful and really gives you that feeling like…read moreyou're in Mexico. The drinks were good, and the food was delicious! Food portion is really small compared to the price, definitely more expensive, so I expected a little more. Service was okay, nothing bad, but nothing that really stood out either. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would come back, but next time I'd probably just sit at the bar for drinks! Definitely worth checking out for the ambiance!

Asada Burrito 2.0 Beans, cheese, choice of meat, all blended…read morereally well together. Surprisingly packed burrito. Had to take smaller bites so that my mouth wasn't over overwhelmed (pause) with food. 1 cabeza Taco Tortilla super soft, good contrast. nice fatty parts, some part of crispy. The cabbage is great mouth feel. Green salsa with a bit more on the acidic side while the red sauce was a lot more refreshing would definitely go for a second red sauce next time. You can get cheaper and more quantity at other taco places but you'll be missing out on how high quality it is. Would recommend

What a surprise! My friend and I visited for restaurant week…read moreand I'd give it a 9/10! The drive there was a bit iffy due to location but surprisingly the street that the restaurant is on was clean and felt pretty safe! I chose to park on the street but I'd advise to valet ($15) for safety purposes. We walked into a concrete built up newish area that had a brewery and another Michelin rated restaurant across the courtyard. The entire area was inviting! The restaurant felt like we took a dinner vacation to Cabo which was recipe for a relaxing evening! We ordered from the restaurant week menu which for us consisted of Ceviche, Guac w/delicious fresh tortilla fresh chips, whipped beans, snapper, bbq chicken, empanadas and basque cheesecake. All were great!.. we just wanted a larger portion of everything! I'd recommend and will definitely go again! I love restaurant week!

Went back to Dama for their Dine LA menu so I thought I'd post so you don't miss out. For starters…read moreyou get GUACAMOLE, WHIPPED BEANS AND A CEVICHE TOSTADA. Yes, you get all three so no hard choices have to be made. My first impression of the beans was that they were no biggie but last night they were fire! I almost ordered a plate to take home. You have been warned the ceviche tostada has a kick but squirt some lime on it if you need to and you will survive. As for the guacamole, it's guacamole - need I say more? For my entree I went with the snapper, which came with escabeche, lime, pineapple, cilantro, green onion, and chili rub. In the past, I've strictly stuck to their small plates and I feel that's still the way to go. Nothing wrong with my snapper, I just love all the other little plates more. I went with one other person and only one piece of cheesecake came out. Supposedly it was a bigger slice but looked like an average size to me. This cheesecake is made with manchego cheese so don't expect an overly sweet treat. I did enjoy it. But, I also ordered their flan that is only available in August and I found that to be better than the cheesecake. Get both as one is limited edition. We also got the fried chicken tacos. We were told they were pretty spicy but I felt the ceviche was spicier. They were tasty but did not live up to their oxtail tacos they used to have. Also, squirt some lime on these tacos - you're welcome. This is one of my fave places to dine during peak weather season. Go check them out. Tip: street parking is available if you get there at 5 otherwise valet is $15. Trust, you do not want to park your car anywhere other than that one block where the restaurant is located.

My family was in town for a Dodger game and to enjoy the evening I brought 10 people with me. We…read morewere given tortilla chips with 3 different moles as soon as we sat down. There were many families eating dinner and many larger parties that looked like they were celebrating something special. We were all famished after fighting through LA traffic on a weeknight. I'm pretty sure we ordered at least half the items on the menu. Every dish ordered was fine, edible, not burnt but just ok. While I am by no means a connoisseur of Oaxacan food, I am perplexed at the number of reviews raving about this restaurant. It's fine, there nothing wrong with the food, but I, personally, don't think it's rave worthy. I've been here 2x now. I'll come back to a place especially when it's on a "best of" list and I wasn't impressed. I always think it may have just been a bad day or perhaps I didn't order well. Next time I see this spot on a "best of" list I'm going to find out WHAT dishes I should've ordered.

El Compadre is an LA staple, we've been coming here for years. The dim lighting, cozy vibe, and…read morelayout make it feel intimate, even though it's bigger than it looks. The bar sits right in the middle and is truly the star of the show. Service, drinks, and food are consistently great and clearly made with love. The margaritas and micheladas are easily some of the best in LA, hands down. This time I went with the chicken and shrimp fajitas and they did not disappoint. And the guacamole? It tastes like your grandmother made it. Portions are huge, so definitely come hungry. From the parking attendant to the servers, bartenders, and bussers, everyone delivers amazing service, it genuinely feels like family every time. Perfect spot for any occasion, or even just to chill and enjoy some authentic Mexican food.

The Hollenbeck de Pollo had a huge filling of guacamole, and chicken!!! Mini $12.99. What a great deal in this economy. The portions were large and the wet burrito just had so much flavor. I loved how everything came together. Ordered the half basket of chips and boy was it worth! Thanks Eric for the recommendation and tips!! Will be back if in the area!! And there was a line when I left! The guy behind the counter was great!

All the Instagram glazers, LA staple they say, sick of seeing these hyped up spots for mexislop…read morethat I can get anywhere. Anyway I got the 2 taco plate with some beans and rice. The rice was a little on the dry side, decent Mexican rice flavor, pretty typical and overall not the best. The beans were also very mid, like if they were straight out of a can, no distinct flavors or hints of beauty. I have been craving these old school hard shell tacos for a while, they had a nice crunch to them, the beef was pretty good, added some juice to the bite. The tacos were probably the only thing above mediocre on this plate. Overall I would never come back again because I can literally go to any other Mexican restaurant and get the same quality.
