    Chicken Quesadilla on top and chicken flautas on bottom
    Briseida N.

    I've been to Te'kila once before but only for drinks! This time we got food and it was good! I got the chicken flautas from the appetizers because I wasn't that hungry and my friend got the Chicken quesadilla, both were good. The service was good and fast, we watched the Colombia vs Portugal game. The ambience is nice, they have indoor and outdoor seating and lots of tvs to watch sports! They do add an 18% gratuity fee to every check! It's on Hollywood blvd so parking is a bit rough, we thankfully found street parking!

    We stopped in during Pride & had a great time. Service from Alisha was fantastic. It was crowded & chaotic due to the parade but she was still friendly & attentive. The food was delicious & the drinks strong. If you ever find yourself on Hollywood Blvd craving Mexican food, this is a good stop.

    We were enjoying a taco Tuesday and this was our second stop of the day. Really enjoy this place as it has quality food and nice decor. I sure liked my chicken street tacos from the happy hour menu and was a good place to enjoy them on this taco Tuesday. The server was attentive and helpful, and we enjoyed the unique decor of this place, really has its own feel. This place is great if you wanna sit right on the sidewalk and eat and drink with all the action that comes along. we enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning soon!

    Came here for happy hour after work on a Thursday. I found parking at a meters on the side street across from Te'kila. It was pretty quiet, not alot going on like back in the day. The bar adds 18% automatic gratuity to all bills. The bartender was nice and gave me everything I asked for. It was a chill time, nothing major to report. I got a well gin with club soda, tasty. A margarita which was good as well and the nachos without meat. No complaints just in and out.

    Carne asada tacos

    Was in the area to watch the Hollywood holiday parade, and had some time to eat before it started, so we popped in to Te'Kila to grab something to eat. Sat at the bar and got things started. Luckily it was happy hour, so tacos and margaritas were on deck. Grabbed a mango margarita and a strawberry mango margarita. They were pretty basic, tequila tasted like it was bottom shelf, and the flavor was ok. Nothing amazing. Tacos were also hot and miss. The carne asada had nice flavor to it while the carnitas tasted like they needed some seasoning. Overall, can only comment on the happy hour for, but get the carne asada tacos, skip the carnitas and maybe get a margarita with better tequila.

    Great Mexican restaurant! The fajitas were amazing--fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The carne asada fries were some of the best I've had, loaded with delicious toppings and generous portions. The service was excellent, very friendly and attentive

    AUTO GRATUITY OF 18% WILL BE ADDED TO YOUR CHECK WITHOUT NOTICE! This place is okay, it's a casual "sit yourself" spot. One thing I found a bit odd was the tacos only came with meat. There was no lettuce, onion, cilantro, cheese, etc to come with it. I would've rated this spot higher if the tacos came with toppings.

    This is THE place to be for a Seahawks game. Football aside... the staff is always very friendly and prices are great for the area. Food is mediocre, BUT it's affordable, so I cannot complain. Best happy hour beer deals in the area.

    House margarita 9/10! (STRONG)
    Marlisa S.

    DELICIOUS food! STRONG drinks!!! An AMAZING happy hour menu which is all week and even all day on Sunday's! Happy hour items are limited but even the price of their regular items isn't that bad! $16 for a huge wet burrito! $50 in total for two meals with a lot of food & Two alcoholic drinks! And that's including tip in which they do charge an automatic 18% gratuity fee to every check. Service was awesome! Very attentive, they weren't super busy, inside is a very divey vibe, with Christmas lights, pop music on the tv's, cool art, it definitely matched Hollywood which is perfect cause it's right on the Hollywood walk of fame! Love this place and will definitely be coming back!

    Coronarita

    The Food is good. The fajitas are excellent I get a combo of beef and shrimp and it is always delicious. Margaritas is big and strong and they have wide variety of tequila to choose from. The service is great, Victor, Victor #2 and Marina are awesome.

    More hair

    Let me start by saying I love this restaurant I have been coming for years. Most of the workers know me or have seen my face. I usually order the buffalo wings and a frozen margarita....as you can see in the photos I demolished my wings but was very disappointed and disgusted to find a long piece of thick hair wrapped around one of the last three wings left and buried in the sauce. I called the location, asked for management and spoke with Francelli who said that the manager was not in. She said I could come with a receipt and get a new order which is cool but hairnets for cooks would be even better.

    Asada enchiladas
    BJ R.

    Everything!!! It wasn't fit for a Dog!!! Enchilada was dry, the black beans clearly came from a can (rinsed and served) the rice was decent and the Margarita was delish!! I had to ask for chips and salas!?!? Most Mexican restaurants provide chips and salsa almost before you can sit do, well not this place plus they charge you without warning!!

    Frozen Margarita (Strawberry)
    Kia A.

    I had a great experience dining here with dear friends! We ordered the same drink, Frozen Margarita (strawberry) and it is the best I have tasted so far! The strawberry flavor is strong but you can also feel and taste the alcohol. The foods are simple but they are great because they are prepared well! Their chicken Fajita, Elote, rice, beans, and meat, and the spicy salsa are good!!! Service is swift and the staff are professional and accommodating! I recommend this place.

    God yes 🙄 nothings less than $12

    Do you take RSVPs? Your website has the Yelp widget but it brings me back to this page with nowhere to RSVP.

    They do not take reservations at this location. I just had the same experience with the looping back to the Yelp page. When I called they informed me.

    Is the online reservation system down or does it no longer exist? The reservations page on the restaurant website redirects to the Yelp page, where there is no reso feature.

    I just called Te'Kila and they said they no longer take reservations and have switched to "first come first serve."

    When are you guys going to bring back happy hour!?

    They have happy hour every day 4-7 I believe..and all day Sundays. This is as of 1/17/26.

    No, it's just a restaurant that serves liquor.

    Is this restaurant appropriate for kids age 10-12?

    No. It's a bar, mostly

    Did they get rid of $15 beer pitchers on taco Tuesday?

    Didn't see it on the menu last time I was there

    Is this place recommended to make reservations?

    On a Friday night or weekend I'd say absolutely! Never been on a weekday so can't confirm. Cheers :)

    Would this place be good for a 21st birthday, for about 15/18 people?

    Yes. They have a large dining area on the right side of the restaurant with TV's. There was a large-ish party there when we were having dinner. Bar was packed also. Seemed to be a younger crowd, age range 21-35

The menu is quite simple, but beware that no prices are listed on the main menu, but they are on the paper menus. They accept Apple Pay/credit cards. I ordered the asada burrito and the pollo caramelo and added the grilled poblano (as recommended on Yelp!). The tortillas were the true stars -- soft, nice chew, with a buttery mouth feel (probably lard). The fillings were just ok. The inside reminded me of a Taco Bell 7 layer burrito -- a lot going on but all the flavors kinda blend together. I (incorrectly) thought the beans were refried, but they are not. Whatever is going on inside, I didn't find much structure. The burrito was the best. The caramelo was a lazily folded burrito. I read that it was like a quesadilla, but I couldn't disagree more. I would skip this next time. I spent $25 and it was a lot of food, but I wasn't impressed, especially given the hype and the fact that LA should really be the pinnacle of Mexican food. Not sure if I'll make a second trip here.

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.

They have recently amped up the filling in the delicious crispy squash blossoms and I love the acidity and heat. The fish is also a hit in my books. One dish that doesn't work for me is the lamb chops, which is a shame since it's my favorite protein. I've ordered them multiple times with clear instructions on temperature and have found them overcooked and tough. The beef tostada was just ok. Whilst I loved the pickled veg on the side, the beef was underseasoned. It wasn't bad - just not up to the standard of other dishes. The vibe in the place is welcoming and the restaurant is nicely appointed. We will continue to be regulars and it's really worth trying if you haven't been yet.

    I was really hoping to leave a positive review, but unfortunately that wasn't the case…read more I've been to Mirate before on June 20, and my experience then was nothing like my visit on July 10, 2026. One of the reasons I recommended Mirate is because it's known for being a highly rated modern Mexican restaurant with exceptional service and knowledgeable staff, especially when it comes to tequila and mezcal. Unfortunately, that was not my experience at all. Before ordering food, I asked our server about the differences between the mezcals and which flight they would recommend. The only explanation I received was, "It's just different families, so I'd go with the higher quality one." There was no real information or guidance, and it was obvious they didn't know much about the mezcal selection. I ended up choosing one based solely on what sounded best. We were then informed that the menu had recently changed and is now mostly tapas. That's perfectly fine, but I noticed several items from my previous visit were still available, so I figured I'd order a few favorites along with some new dishes. Most of the food was actually great. The ribeye tacos, tostada, and buñuelitos were all delicious. However, the carne asada was extremely disappointing. We only sent back one plate because I felt bad sending both, and that's when a manager (the gentleman with the man bun) came over. He explained that they have a new chef from Oaxaca, but what confused me was that they were serving Argentinian-style steaks as their carne asada. Instead of a traditional Mexican-style cut, it was thin, flat, and honestly looked like a breakfast steak. For a restaurant that prides itself on being a modern Mexican restaurant, serving Argentinian steak as carne asada just didn't make sense to me. To his credit, he removed both carne asada plates from our bill, which I genuinely appreciated. After that, he asked if there was anything else we'd like. I personally said no, but someone else at the table asked for one more ribeye taco. The manager replied, "You know what? I'll bring you one, and I'll bring them another too." Naturally, I assumed he was offering the extra taco as a goodwill gesture since I hadn't ordered anything else. Imagine my surprise when I looked at the bill and realized both tacos had been added to our tab. I wasn't going to argue over the price of a taco, but it was frustrating because I never asked for it. In fact, I ended up giving that taco away to my friends. If it wasn't complimentary, it shouldn't have been presented as if it were. Another thing worth mentioning is that while the carne asada portion has clearly gotten much smaller, the price remains exactly the same, which doesn't seem justified. Overall, my biggest disappointment is that there was no indication when making the reservation that this was essentially an experimental period with a new chef introducing major menu changes. Had I known beforehand, I never would have recommended Mirate for our dinner, and to be completely honest, I probably wouldn't have made a reservation at all. I only get two days off each month, so this was supposed to be something I could really enjoy. Instead, it honestly felt like a waste of my time and money. I'm sorry to say that while there were a few good moments, they faded very quickly. Unfortunately, the negative parts are what have stayed with me, and that's what I'll remember most about the experience. It's disappointing because I know how great Mirate can be since I experienced it just a few weeks ago. I truly hope they can regain the quality of food, service, and overall experience that made me recommend it in the first place . ( for the picture of the flat carne asada the full steak has 2 more strips added but we had tried it before taking a picture however that's MOST of the "carne asada" portion in the picture )

    Oh man. This was SO FREAKING GOOD. I have had good Mexican food, but never in my life have I had…read morebetter vegetarian tacos. Never. And I live in Portland, which has really good vegetarian options. First of all, I could eat like 75% or more of the menu as a pescatarian. I was thrilled and so overwhelmed because I normally don't have that many choices! First of all, the water was infused and was delicious. I browsed the menu and had a really hard time deciding, but ended up on the cauliflower rajas taco, the crispy shrimp taco & the vegan Korean BBQ taco. The waiter recommended the crispy shrimp taco, but I actually enjoyed the vegetarian tacos more. I love cauliflower and poblano so that taco was a great starter. So much flavor and a variety of textures. The tortillas were super flavorful too. The potato taquitos came next and I am actually obsessed. The outside was perfectly crispy, the interior was soft, flavorful & cheesy. The sauce complimented it perfectly. I can not recommend them enough. The crispy shrimp taco was really good, but I also tried a crispy fish taco and would honestly get that over the shrimp. I think there was mango or something in the coleslaw of the fish taco because it had a really nice fresh flavor to it. Last, I had the vegan Korean BBQ taco. The mushroom shreds & the flavor were just perfect. Again, as a pescatarian I have really never had Korean BBQ because it's so heavily meat focused. I truly loved this taco. If I hadn't discovered it on my last night in LA, I might've come back on my short trip. The whole place is just a vibe and the food was beyond excellent.

The building is an original piece of the City's history, boasting a menu that features their famous burritos that vary in size from a regular to a huge party size beast that can feed several. I tried the Hollenbeck and the Okie burritos on two separate occasions via pick up, as aforementioned, the service was quick, convenient and the pick up window is seamless, parking is located next to the structure and I haven't had problems getting there. Hollenbeck was good but I definitely enjoyed the Okie burrito more, I ordered the "original" size once and didn't seem to learn my lesson the second time, these burritos can feed two in Original size. They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.

    OMG!!! Talk about a feast for your eyes, mouth and stomach!!!! WOW!!!! I've been telling all my…read morefriends about this place. I don't even know where to start! A friend of mine read about this seafood restaurant as one of the top restaurants in LA and since I love eating (don't know if I am foodie but I love to eat), we had to give it a shot and boy it was definitely worth the shot. This place is in the heart of LA, I'm not a big fan of driving to LA but for an awesome restaurant, I'll make it an exception. First off, they do not serve alcohol. I usually love my oysters and ceviche with an ice-cold beer, but I had a diet coke instead and it definitely did not hit the spot but it was still good. I don't know if you can BYOB. We first started with the Sea Urchin ($28) - The sea urchin was on a bed of bay scallop's. so much flavor with a delicate sweetness. Ceviche Mixto (Shrimp and Octopus) ($23) - huge portion, perfect with their home-made hot sauce and crunchy corn tortillas. Shrimp Aguachile ($28) - raw marinated shrimp with fried shrimp heads. Love the sourness of the shrimp and the crunchy shrimp heads. perfect combination. 6 piece mixed raw oysters ($22) - yum!!!!! nice and meaty and the perfect paring with their home-made hot sauce. Camarones Al Mojo entree ($32) - HUGE prawns with garlic, butter and chile marinade. it was perfect with their rice and beans. My friend and I have already planned to make another visit very soon with several of our friends.

    My family of three had lunch here on Saturday. We got there at 11:15 and had to wait about 45…read moreminutes (which we expected). There was plenty of parking in the adjacent lot (I believe this is the DMV lot and was available as DMV was closed; during weekdays I can imagine the parking can be challenging). Plenty of seating as well given it's part of a larger "food court" and lots of communal tables, both inside and outside. We sat outside as the weather was perfect. I can see what the hype is about. For the most part, the food is super fresh, presented in an awesome manner and the cost is very reasonable for the quality of the seafood. I only wish they sold beer/wine as it would be been perfect to enjoy a beer with some of the dishes. We had: Erizo (Sea Urchin) - 5/5 - Probably the best dish of the meal. Ceviche made of fresh urchin and scallops, one of the best fresh urchin dishes I have ever had. Pata de Mula (raw blood clams) - 4/5 - The sauce on the clams was very good, my only "knock" is that the sauce overpowered the clams so it was hard to taste the actual clams. Spot Prawn/Scallop Aguachile - 4.5/5 - I though the scallops and the aquachile sauce were great. The spot prawns were a bit flavorless. I would order this again just with the scallops next time. Coctel Mixto - 3/5 - Maybe my least favorite dish of the meal. The taste was fine, I just thought the coctel "sauce" (more like a cold soup) was overpowering for the fresh seafood. Octopus Taco - 5/5 - The other favorite of the meal, probably the best octopus tacos I've had. Overall a great meal, and I would look forward to going back.
