As of now, September 2026, this is the best burger I have ever eaten…read more We got the Cali burger. It comes with grilled onions, Softies sauce, pickles and white American cheese on a Martin's Potato Bun. Let's get the obvious out of the way. In order for your burger to be as good as possible, it has to be on a Martin's Potato Bun. The white American cheese Softies uses melts better than any cheese I have ever had on a burger. My Wife made the comment and I agreed, the way the cheese melts along with the grilled onions makes this better taste like a cheesesteak during some bites. The pickles are also really really good. The combo of grilled onions, sauce, pickles and melted cheese would be great on almost any burger however; the way in which Softies preps the pickles, the cheese they use and the cook of the patties makes the perfect burger. What really added to the meal were the fries and the limonada. Most places you get a really really good burger or really really good fries. Softies have both. The fries were hot, crispy and contained a really good seasoning. The limonada is made in house and accompanied the meal really well. This place is located on USC's campus. So the atmosphere is great. The employees were really nice and seem to be genuinely happy. Service was also quick, especially for it being packed on a gameday.

Burger had those properly annihilated crispy edges you want from a smash burger, soft bun, pickles, melted cheese and nothing unnecessary getting in the way. Fries were hot and crispy. Then you notice the turntable and Stevie Wonder sitting behind the counter and realize somebody here understands exactly what kind of restaurant they wanted to make. Would absolutely come back.

Usually I find it in Italian pastas, but here it comes in a blue corn tortilla with cheese. Really great. Maybe more than the food, this place hits emotionally. You love to see a former employee of a globally recognized restaurant do their own thing and still be on good terms with their old team. There's something to being part of a organization that already runs well versus going out on your own and making it for yourself. The mission of this restaurant comes through really clearly because of its simplicity. Focus on the komal, the masa, the heritage of the cuisine and the food is almost automatically delicious. This specific food in this specific setting is pretty close to how you'd have it in Mexico.

KOMAL Located in Mercado La Paloma in downtown Los Angeles…read more Rating: 4/5 This market is such a gem! It's a casual setting but still felt like a special experience. I had not been here in years and decided to stop in for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. There are many places to choose from and Komal was a great choice. I loved the Taco de Castillo which was an elevated steak and potato taco. The salsa verde it came with tasted like they blend it fresh to order, so good! The potato flautas were made with corn tortillas which I appreciated! The mole sauce paired perfectly. I would absolutely come back. Definitely worth a try!

Service I placed a…read morelarge order with Everytable in Inglewood for a high school varsity volleyball team, scheduled to be delivered by 2:30 p.m. The order was placed the night before and the website allowed me to select and pay for everything without any indication that there was an issue. Then, shortly before the scheduled delivery, I received a call saying they did not have all of the options I ordered. During the conversation, the woman I spoke with identified herself as the owner of this particular franchise and told me that ordering more than five of an item is considered catering. I explained that if that is their policy, the website should not allow a customer to place and pay for the order as a regular order. More importantly, changing the order at the last minute when I was depending on this food to feed an entire varsity team was unacceptable. What was most disappointing was the way the conversation was handled. I was repeatedly cut off rather than listened to, and the interaction felt unnecessarily rude and dismissive. As a business owner, I would have expected an attempt to resolve the issue, particularly when the restaurant's own ordering system allowed the order to be placed. I understand that inventory issues happen and that businesses may have catering policies. My issue is with accepting the order, waiting until shortly before delivery to address the problem, and then speaking to the customer disrespectfully when they raise a legitimate concern. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I will not return to this particular Everytable location.

Good food, terrible experience !…read more My partner and I came to eat at this place -- it was our first time here on a Saturday night after hearing lots of recs as people who live in West LA. I'm about to sit at this booth that's empty , but this musty blonde told us that we should put our names on the waitlist. With the music blasting, I could barely hear her and was confused on the waitlist and where it was.. bc there was a free BOTG. I tell my partner abt it so she calls her again to ask about what she means, and this blonde explains a bit and as my gf begins to ask a clarifying question, she ROLLS her eyes at us in our face, scoffs, and leaves mid question! It took us asking 3 times and asking another server why we needed a waitlist to find out they save booths for larger parties, only for two parties of two to come after us and sit at each empty booth. When we asked the other server and let him know what happened, he didn't even care and it seemed like this is a common occurrence. He didn't apologize for her, talk to her , or make us feel better bc he knew we were upset. I felt very disrespected and disappointed, because we never have been here and were just wishing for a positive experience. So if you come here, know their employees have a stick up their butt on Saturday nights and feel comfortable giving poor customer service. Just do take out.

I was surprised that there's so much steam coming off of the pasta as if it just came out of the microwave. Everyone's pasta was steaming except the guy next to me. I joked with him that he got the freshest pasta because everyone else's came out of the microwave. I like the interior, it's aesthetically pleasing. Wasn't sure where they place the parmesan cheese or red pepper. Glad I came here, would definitely come back when I'm near USC.
