    Shrimp nachos
    Marisol S.

    These folks know good taste and flavors are EXCELLENT. Their shrimp nachos are seriously the best in town, the chips are crunchy to perfection. They add a creamy sauce and red sauce, the shrimp is sauteed to perfection y sas! The shrimp flautas are just as good too, everything is a good choice here. The entire staff are also super chill and cool, they're attentive and provide quality service.

    Chile Verde Flautas

    I've been back around 3 times already and I would highly recommend coming back. The flavors of the Flautas were delicious and have a good amount of meat added onto them. I've had both the Verde and Shrimp. Verde is a classic salsa verde sauce with a mild spice level. The shrimp is more on the Cajun side and a bit spicier. I've also had the 50/50 nachos and I can say that their proportions are quite big. In some cases where the container couldn't fully close. Flavor wise just as impactful as the other two options. The service was amazing as well. The head chef is very attentive and even made a special change for the Shrimp Flautas by making it non-spicy and more of a Alfredo based sauce with mushrooms which my mom adored. He was also quite funny interacting with some of the customers while I sat in which made the experience more fun.

    Shrimp & Crab Flautas

    Listen man. I do not say this lightly, these are the best nachos & flautas I've ever had in my life. And I've been alive a long time. The 50/50 Nachos are half asada, half pork chile verde, and they will make you want to karate chop your mom in the neck. They also had a special which was crab flautas topped with shrimp. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, and seasoned to perfection. Even the damn Cokes were ice cold, and in this bullsh*t weather, that was needed. The Chef recommended we eat there, and he wasnt wrong. This food was made to be eaten on the spot. Fire food, & A1 customer service. Don't sleep on this spot.

    The 50/50

    Mannnnn after months of planning and failed visits, finally made it to SoulMex this weekend! I'm always very weary about all of the social media hype but glad to say that the hype was real! Best nachos in LA and I don't think I even got served them at an optimal level. But let me backtrack a bit, because the people here are simply amazing. Me and my friend Mark were made to feel very important and everyone there would check on us to make sure that we were happy with our plates. So customer service 20/10! Being a stand in East LA you're not getting luxury on the location but they had some tables set up for people to sit down and enjoy their nachos- that's a plus cause these plates are massive. Couldn't complain about the prices either cause I've pay similar for smaller and not as good nacho plates in LA. Fresh chips, flavorful toppings and well cooked meats, can't go wrong with it. I don't even like seafood but I kept seeing their shrimp plates come out and my mouth was watering. So yes it's an amazing place for nachos. Will definitely be back, even if the nachos were mid, the people made the experience that much better! Will definitely want to come back and try more items from their menu! Highly super highly recommended to try!

    The food was delicious and the service was great. The owner made sure we were well taken care of. The food came out fast, there's street parking available, they have tables as well as music. Nice set up.

    Super yummy flavorful Chile Verde Nachos .
    Melissa A.

    So glad I tried this place. The food was amazing. Super friendly vibe . Generous portions . Easy simple menu. All the food is made with fresh ingredients from fresh tortilla chips, tasty fresh homemade guacamole, good cheeses, tasty homemade salsa. The cheese potato flautas were delicious and the chile Verde nachos were the best I ever had. The chile verde is so flavorful! They really put their soul into the food it shows. You just taste how everything is made with so much love and attention to detail. Will definitely be going back .

    Hortencia V.

    The nachos were delicious with two types of meat and cheese didn't feel too heavy. The service was super friendly and the atmosphere was great. We ate outside definitely worth the drive.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the food. It was a bold twist to flautas with the creamy sinner potatoes and shrimps all on top. I also had their 50/50 Nachos. Dam!!! The best. The spice level was on point. They did not disappoint. The two cooks super cool and joked with me. Made me feel like I was with friends. Good spot. The vibe was great. Friday

    50/50 nachos

    Excellent nachos, the sauce is so good. The meat was tender and soft, very very big portion. Enough to share for 2 people. Very customer oriented and food came out very quickly. Amazing experience will definately come again.

    Chile verde Soul Mex Flautas

    Food was good, Smokey and savory. We had flautas and we had nachos. I personally am very picky with my seafood and much rather have freshly peeled shrimp rather than ready to cook shrimp but that's a personal preference, their shrimp are well seasoned. My highlight was the chile verde ‍ service was good I did notice that everyone is assigned a station so it doesn't look chaotic, they are attentive. Ambience is chill, they do have a few tables set up and they have a variety of music playing also. Better lighting?

However this location was not a nice experience. And with this early evening out experience, it was the first time I have ever pondered that tipping culture may be outdated and obsolete. I have really received better service from Denny's and iHop. When this is supposed to be fine dining I do expect fine service with it too. The food: It was good, but I order the same thing at all locations, the lobster enchiladas. So thumbs up with the consistency at the California locations. I do think the Cabo location has a little extra twist of tasty. Drinks: I don't remember them being this lackluster at locations. The restaurant is so beautiful and has a nice ambiance to it. It makes you feel like you have traveled somewhere outside of downtown L.A. but that is where the magic ends. Our waitress felt very matter of fact with us. She wasn't outgoing and welcoming. I wanted to try something different and was going to ask her for a suggestion, but she really made me feel like she just wanted my order and don't bother her with anything else. When it was time to collect the plates from the table, it was weird. The men helping to clear the table never said anything like excuse me when reaching across us. I am only 5'3 so me being chest to table is pretty normal. One of them came too close for comfort to my chest when reaching across trying to clear the tables. Slow down and pay attention to where you are reaching. At the end of dinner, we never even looked at the dessert menu because at that point we were just ready to go. Upon departure, we had to stand and wait for our vehicles. All 3 of use drove in separate cars. So, we spent almost what we paid for meals in parking. Please Javier group, figure this location out or give it up to a restaurant who is going to deliver food and service as beautiful as the place itself.
