    Taquitos smother with guacamole sauce
    Sergio Z.

    After visiting my mom at the rehabilitation Center in Highland Park, my wife and I were very hungry after a long day then decided look around entering in this shopping center where a Superior Mexican market. We notice this taco shack and decided to try it out. When we saw taco shack they were selling lottery tickets and smoke ahop and food in one place. We were looking at the menu display and other specials they have. We order two orders of their taquitos and my wife order al pastor burrito then I order a carnitas burrito. Then was curious about shop next the Taco Fiesta called Kitchen Mouse it was close but it's a coffee shop also they sell sandwich,pastry other items. Then I pick our food up everything is all wrapped I open my taquitos it comes two taquitos with guacamole sauce smother on tap the taquitos. They were very good they out alot of the guacamole sauce we both enjoy. Then I took a bite of my carnitas burrito it really the carnitas was well season cooked very tender and shredded fine then add lime to the burrito that was good then I decided at the guacamole sauce to the burrito it more flavor to the burrito I really enjoy . My wife enjoy her al pastor burrito and adding the guacamole sauce to her burrito she enjoy. We need come back again to Taco Fiesta.

    Honestly this is not my kinda of Mexican food. But if you're a fan of gringo Mexican food like Tito's Tacos in Culver City then this might be your jam. This place is famous for it's hardshell tacos with the loose cheddar cheese and lettuce. Most of the menu is deep fried and under seasoned. The avocado fries is misleading as they aren't battered fried avocado slices but rather french fries covered in a green avocado salsa. The taco burger is like a sloppy Joe but with taco seasonings. Anyway the food isn't horrible but cAnt say it's great. The service is pretty quick and friendly though.

    Crunchy ground beef taco
    D'juan C.

    I've had this place bookmarked for ever on my yelp. Finally giving it a try since I happened to be in the area. The restaurant is a small little window with bench seating adjacent to the order window. I am a huge fan of crunchy beef tacos and in search of the best ones. These weren't bad at all. The shell is store bought like them Ortega ones at the supermarket. The meat is very tender with plenty of flavor. They also put plenty of meat in those tacos. The lettuce was fresh and it was green leaf not iceberg. My favorite was that they put plenty of cheese and it was good cheese not that smart and final fake shredded cheese. My last thing is the salsa it was very good just not spicy enough for me but very good.

    Asada torta

    Tried the fries (amazing), taquitos (tasty with a nice serving of salsa), and the asada torta (delicious). Will be back.

    We decided to try Nick's for lunch to celebrate my birthday. OMG!!!!…read moreWhat a great place to dine. We had a reservation so we were seated right away on the second floor, just above the bar. The music was a little on the loud side so conversation was a little strained. The food was absolutely amazing. Our server was very friendly and informative but was not quite as attentive as we would expect for an establishment like this. This was our first time here, so we had to try the Asparagus Fries. The asparagus was cooked to perfection but the batter did not have much flavor. Members of our party ordered the California Salad, a Veggie Burger, the Meatloaf and a Picante Pizza. The California Salad was smaller than expected but delicious. The Veggie Burger was excellent! The Meatloaf was the hit of the table. It was so good that my wife did not offer a taste to any of us. She was in food Heaven. The pizza was exactly as described and tasted wonderful. Since we were celebrating my birthday, our server brought me a delicious piece of double chocolate cake with a candle in it. Nice touch!! We also had one of their Warm Butter Cake's with some excellent vanilla ice cream on top. Absolutely wonderful!. This may be our new "go-to" place. Looking forward to return to savor the other items on the menu. Their drinks looked delicious as well, so we will definitely try those too.

Had my first lilikoi foam in Maui and I love that I'm starting to see it around Los Angeles now. Adds such a punch of flavor to an after we balanced drink. For food, we started with the bacon deviled eggs and shrimp taquitos. Those deviled eggs were lightly fried, which was different, then had apple wood smoked bacon on top, just a really tasty bite. The shrimp taquitos were also not what you would expect, nice and light but still very good. Entrees we went with the center cut fillet and the prime rib dip with swiss cheese on a brioche bun. That sandwich just melts if your mouth after dipping it in the jous, and the cheese was the perfect accompiament. The fillet was cooked perfect as well, coming out medium rare. Overall, great restaurant in Pasadena. Definitely get the Mai Tai, Devine eggs and prime rib dip. Taquitos were good and, if you're feeling like another hg er appetizer, definitely a way to go . The fillet, also great but I feel you can get it anywhere.

I also had the Sour Milk Cornbread which was magical and tasted like a cross between cornbread meets bundt cake. The flavor was perfect and was one of the best cornbread I have ever had. The pork chop was immaculate. I have yet to taste a pork chop that was so perfectly cooked from the moistness and the flavor. For dessert, the cobbler was ordered and goodness gracious it was absolutely amazing. If you come here, have all the courses, do not miss any course what so ever.

Beautiful inside with two separate downstairs areas and one upstairs. Don't approve of the large TVs in the bar area but the sound was off at least. Once we were seated (and by the way, the hostesses were super friendly and hospitable), Joe was our helpful server. We ordered a Last Word and a Negroni with brussel sprouts to start with. The drinks were ok, the brussel sprouts were super tasty and well charred. Next we ordered the pork chop and chicken skillet. I wanted to order the peri peri chicken but they were out of it.

Also had the lamb chops, which is one of their most popular dishes, and I can see why. The lamb was cooked perfectly, soft juicy, super easy to eat. I loved that there was chimichurri sauce provided on the side and it went well with everything, including the mashed potatoes and vegetables.

Seeing the server and an Asian staff coming out from kitchen confirmed that the cooking wasn't fully American taste bud. But that is the reason why it hit me very well. Honestly, whether you have American or fusion or Asian taste bud, the taste quality is better than some average American restaurants. I tried the butter squash soup, lamp chop, and bow tie pasta with chicken. I was enjoying my soup and lamp chop a lot. The pasta was pleasant to me, but it wasn't exceptionally great compared to the lamp chop. My fiancé loved the pasta though, saying that the sauce wasn't overwhelming. It is not a cheap place to come for, but it is because the food and drinks (good white wine) have quality. The wait for the entrees was a little long, even though it wasn't that busy. I believe it was the chef spending time to make sure each dish was done well, unlike the busy restaurant where chefs only follow the restaurant's recipes to make it quick and easy. Lastly, the ambience was okay, but it was more an older fine dining/family owned style. It had some nostalgic vibe if you'd take it that way. Keep it up. I really hope it will be there forever long.
