    tostada de aguachile and tempura sushi in the back
    Marsha R.

    Came here with a craving for seafood and wasn't disappointed. The facilities leave something to be desired and clearly haven't been updated in years, if not decades, but I ate every bite of my tostada de aguachile which was exactly what I was craving. They have an open bar of sides like pickled onions and grilled jalapeños which I nibbled on while we waited for our food which did take a solid twenty-ish minutes probably. But when all was said and done I enjoyed my dish and finished every bite. They have a small parking lot too.

    I love fish taco Tuesdays here - you get two hefty fish tacos for 3.24. AMAZING! The salsa provided at the table goes well with the creamy white sauce (unsure what it is but it's so good.) I love that their lettuce is on the softer shredded side. It's a bit skimpy on the veggie toppings but size of the piece of fish and the condiment bar make up for it. Came in on Tuesday after 7:30 PM and managed to snag a corner booth. Condiment bar was minimal but the lemons were juicy and the pickled onions were spicy. I also tried the ceviche which didn't taste as fresh as it could but was a nice treat for lunch the next day (got too full off two tacos). No bathroom, but the service was friendly in both Spanish and English, and the vibes are there! They share a parking lot with a few other businesses but there's also street parking.

    Taco Tuesday! Great prices for tacos on Tuesdays. There's a huge variety of seafood tacos and burritos, but there are also non-seafood options. The fish tacos were super yum! The chicken burrito was also tasty and filling. There are six 2-person tables that line one side of the shop and 2 booths that can fit six persons each. Before 7pm, the shop was empty with a few take away pick ups. After 7pm, however, the shop was full and seats were scarce. The lady taking the orders was super nice and helpful. Spanish and English. Shared parking in the strip mall.

    This business has very excellent fish tacos on Tuesday at 2 fish tacos for $3.55.... And Thursdays other tacos 2x1 Very variety menu , small place but cozy Really recommended for those Tuesdays

    Best Fish Taco EVER!

    Food: 5/5 Service: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5 I first discover Taocs Ensenada couple years ago at their original location in Duarte. I'm so glad they opened up different location, and the one in Highland Park happened to be the closest one to my house. I would say this is 100% a legit taco place. My usual order are the Al Pastor, Carne Asada, Tripa, Fish Tacos, and Burrito. The Fish tacos is out of this world! They gave you a generous piece of the fish tacos. The Al Pastor and Carne Asada are always juicy. Everything is really good and satisfying! Although don't expect too much from customer service standpoint. The service is pretty much inconsistent ever since the pandemic hit. However, it's not a deal breaker for me, I came for the food and the service is not going to stop me! Overall, I had tons of positive experiences than the bad ones. I would highly recommend this place.

    My boyfriends order

    Carne Asada Tacos for $3.25. Much better than most OVERPRICED Taco stands. GO on Thursday for their 2x1 special. For Fish Taco Tuesdays, go to the "other" place a block away.

    Outside

    The lady wasn't only not friendly or helpful, she didn't have the coins to give me full change so she just shorted me sixty cents and didn't say anything. When I pointed it out she just shrugged and said something in Spanish. Like wtf. Most importantly the tacos were just ok, fish tacos should have crunch but these were soggy. Yeah never coming back here I'll just go to Baja Cali a few doors down.

    The fish tacos were doughy and everything looked better than it tasted. I noticed that nothing tasted particularly fresh.

Portions were great for sharing, and the sauces really tied everything together. Service was friendly and our server checked in on us throughout the night without making us feel rushed.

Cute building with lovely patio seating: from the trailing hanging pothos plants, Spanish tiles, to relaxing latin-house music the vibes were welcoming. I'm not much of a drinker though, when asked if I wanted to make my pina colada a "float" I thought incorrectly about ice cream. It was graciously explained that you take an additional shot of rum and float it on top of the drink or mix in to make it extra boozy. The pina colada is top notch they hollow out a real pineapple to make the drink and it's the size of your face! The watermelon cocktail was delicious and there is also a mezcal option. Tasted like if a watermelon aqua Fresca was combined with a margarita, there is a hint of salt that brings out the fruit sweetness. We special ordered a bunch of different proteins and vegetables at half portions to make a feast: Aguachile- Light refreshing starter, kanpachi perfectly marinated and great for the summer heat. Crispy potato- Phenomenally done fingerling potatoes. Whipped beans- Carnitas on top made this dish. Fried chicken tacos- Found the chicken slightly on the dry side, if there was a creamy/thicker sauce would be even better... nothing wrong with flavor, good mild heat. I did enjoy the fresh shredded cabbage and carrots, reminded me of bahn mi. Empanadas- Loved the acidity of the sauce that cut through the fattiness of the ground meat. Light shell. Crispy Squash flower- Delicate crunch, like an angelic version of a jalapeno popper. Lamb chops- Definition of "treat-yourself" luxurious meat lollipops. Celery salad- Simple dish but the lemon flavor and tartness really helped break up the richness of other dishes. Churros- Light crunch and small, petite dessert. The thin caramel sauce is addicting. Fine dining, for those special occasions or if you just want to splurge for a morale boost highly recommend this restaurant. Valet parking or park across the street or around the corner in a lot for $5-10.

Located between Koreatown and Pico-Union, this restaurant delivers an outstanding dining experience from the moment you're seated. My wife and I both ordered the Mole Coloradito with chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. One detail we really appreciated was being able to choose between white meat or dark meat--a thoughtful touch that lets you customize your meal to your preference. The mole was rich, complex, and full of flavor, exactly what you would hope for from a restaurant known for its Oaxacan specialties. As a welcome appetizer, they bring fresh chips and salsa to the table, but what really impressed us was when they replaced the salsa with their incredible mole sauce. It was so good we found ourselves dipping everything into it. Both meals were served with rice that was perfectly cooked with a great consistency and flavor. For those feeling adventurous, give the Chapulines (grasshoppers) a try. They may sound intimidating, but they were surprisingly enjoyable and added to the authentic experience. The staff was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and patient with those of us who are not fluent in Spanish. Their hospitality made us feel comfortable and welcomed throughout our visit. Great food, authentic flavors, and wonderful service make Guelaguetza a restaurant we'll definitely be returning to. Highly recommended!
