    Disturbed Q.

    Been coming here since high school. The asada fries are so bomb. Burrito and tacos also are delicious! They have a salsa station and has free grilled onions and beans. If your in south central LA you need to try this spot! I like to add pastor on my asada fries and plate is big enough to share.

    I had to remove quesadilla out of the drenched oil, even with the napkins it was dripping soaked

    I came here for my lunch break because I been wanting to try this place and worst experience. I ordered to eat there and got a quesadilla. They drenched my food in oil it was disgusting im usually not picky or try to make a big deal so i tried to tap with napkins so I can try to finish (which i didnt it was unhealthy) i went to ask for more napkins because my fingers were drenched and the lady still give me attitude worst customer service. I will never be returning and thought i shared this image. Wasted my money couldnt eat it, went to the trash very disappointed

    My asada burrito missing sour cream

    I'm so sad because this used to be one of my favorite burrito spots, and now I remember why I stopped coming here. Customer service was good Restaurant was clean, but there was a bunch of pigeons close to the salsa bar. The reason why I'm giving a 3 star rating is because time and time again I have come and ordered a burrito de asada with everything add on sour cream but I never get the sour cream. I get charged for the sour cream. However, they always fail to add it. Our food was on the saltier side today, too, so It wasn't enjoyable. I spent approximately $19 on a burrito and mulita and we left unsatisfied sadly

    EAT YOUR HEART OUT KING TACO! GREAT NACHOS, BUT RUDE WOMAN TAKING ORDERS & THE PARKING IS TERRIBLE!! My boyfriend brought me to this place 5/6/21 pretty late (10:00pm) and ordered us food, and y'all, to get in there was hell. There is one way in and one way out! When you're reversing to get out, you're going into a busy street that doesn't give a care to wait (typical LA Bs) but beside that, honestly the worst part to it was the lady taking orders. She has a really bad attitude and it definitely made me want to leave. This was my first time here and who the heck wants to deal with a literal sourpuss. We went ahead and ignored the sourpuss and ordered. we ordered 1 Quesadilla, 1 large pina Fresca, 1 sope, and 1 box of nachos. Be sure to check your bags and don't forget your drinks like us, HAHA. We had to go back for the drink, and it was a disaster with parking the second time around. Food: The quesadilla was 10/10! Tastes like my grandma made it! Soooo filling and the flavors were totally there. sope: 10/10. Pretty big and super flavorful! Pina drink: 10/10 who doesn't like pineapple! (Just don't forget it because it's a bit expensive) Nachos: 10/10! They were amazing! They don't have beans (I need beans with nachos!) but the rest was amazing and still made it as a 10 meal. The asada is AMAZING, the other toppings tasted fresh, and I swear the cheese is crack. Way better thank king taco! Next time I will totally add beans, but as I said, the meal was still great. Besides some rocky customer service, I loved it here. Black people, white people, Puerto Rican's, Mexicans, and all of the above is eating here. It really is that good and I will definitely be back to try more things! They're also pretty affordable. All of our food was 20.00! Also, they stay open late! WINNING!

    Amazing asada fries
    Misty M.

    I've only ever ordered asada fries from here and pastor tacos a couple of times. I can't ever get enough of their asada fries. Their asada and pastor meat is perfect. There is a cook outside grilling fresh meat all day. Literally the only downside is parking. The lot is tiny and full depending on what time of day you're there.

    Their spot

    Their burritos are fucking good for a truck that's not full The burritos are simple nothing More than a regular burrito but they are good they're beans have good taste, actually Today's a second day I came just to make sure that they were good

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!

I'd heard great things about the Los Feliz location, especially the outdoor patio, and I can see why. There's a huge tree with hanging lights all around it, and the whole patio has such a cool neighborhood vibe. We came while it was still light out, but I can only imagine how pretty it must be at night. The inside and outside have completely different atmospheres--the inside is darker and more lively, while outside feels relaxed and casual. We also saw several people hanging out on the patio with their dogs, and it seemed like there were quite a few local regulars. The cocktails here are really well made. Since we were celebrating my birthday, we ordered the Margarita Flight and it came out with a sparkler, which made it extra fun! The margaritas tasted great, and the portions were actually pretty generous for a flight. We tried several tacos, and the Crispy Shrimp Taco was easily the biggest hit with my kids. We ended up ordering it THREE times . At $8 for one taco, it's definitely a little pricey, but the shrimp were big, crispy, and really good. We also enjoyed the Korean BBQ Taco. The Mexican Hot Chicken Tenders had good flavor, but they were definitely spicy. My kids couldn't handle the heat, so I'd recommend them more for adults or anyone who enjoys spicy food. We also tried the Banh Mi bowl. It wasn't the traditional banh mi flavor I had pictured from the name, so it wasn't my favorite, but it was an interesting fusion take. For dessert, we had the Red Velvet Churros. I'm usually not a big churro fan, but these were surprisingly good! They came with plenty of cream cheese frosting for dipping, which made them even better. My kids were unsure at first too, but after trying them, they ended up really liking them. Overall, we had such a fun birthday meal here. Good cocktails, creative fusion tacos, Happy Hour, and a really cool neighborhood atmosphere. I'd especially come back for the Margarita Flight, Crispy Shrimp Tacos, and that beautiful patio. Next time, I'd love to come at night and see all those hanging lights lit up!
