    Machaca Burrito Breakfast
    Allan D.

    It's in a little strip mall with the tiniest of parking lots. I've been coming to this place for since 2008. It's comfort food. A long time ago they won some award for their tortillas, I think. It's been a long time. My go to has been the carne asada nachos. They remind me of the nachos is grew up with and the places that served them in the OC when I was going to CSUF. Home made tortilla chips slathered with beans, real cheese, tons of meat... you know the drill. I did break away from my normal routine. I partook in the machaca breakfast burrito. It was fantastic and bursting in the seams. It had rice, fluffy eggs, some guacamole, sour cream, onions, and tender machaca beef. The employees were friendly and just great. They gave me two servings of hot sauce, which is greatly appreciated. Who doesn't love hot sauce. The burrito came with complimentary chips which helped me scoop the heap of goodies falling out of the burrito. The indoor seating area is small. They do have an outdoor seating area, but you will have to brave the weather. There's more parking on street and the neighborhood, but pay attention to signs.

    Empanadas A La Carte
    Heather S.

    Had takeout from Tere's and wasn't quite sure what to order and settled on an a la carte Carne Asada Taco and a la carte order of empanadas. Thought the empanadas would be small, but holy crap these were on steroids and it turned into way too much food. Empanadas dough was delightfully crispy without being too greasy. It comes filled with chorizo and potato. I could have used a little more seasoning in the filling? Or some sort of spicy or garlic dipping sauce. Still good, although the size of them makes me hesitant to go that route in the future. An asada taco is kind of the measuring stick to Jge a New Mexican place. Great size on the taco. Tortilla fell apart a bit from the weight of the meat, but then again, most tacos do. I was worried that it would be a little dry inside, but once again wrong. That taco sauce was hidden inside and packed some heat in the best way. Will definitely get tacos again!

    Machaca burrito with no machaca
    Brick ..

    I usually order take out with the family when we're in the area. This time around I ordered the breakfast machaca burrito. I'm disappointed to say that I could not find any machaca halfway through my meal. For almost $20 to only get beans, rice and eggs....complete disappointment. Wish I could get my money back :( Tere's used to be so good. What happened?

    Tere's is a small storefront in a small strip mall. Parking is easy. The Website does not show photos of this one. There are a few others that are very pretty and bigger. This is not that. This one is not pretty and it is sort of dumpy. But it is spotless and it is great. We like this one the best. You go to the counter to order and have a seat, there are not a lot. They brought us our food, I don't know if they always do that. I think this place does a lot of take away and delivery. The menu is on the wall and they have quite a few things you won't find at a typical Mexican restaurant. The service is super nice. I had a hard time reading the board (forgot glasses) and they were there to help. They also were so nice when they brought our food. It was exactly as ordered and hot. The food is great. We loved all of it. The Nachos are great and if you order a side of guacamole it is a huge serving and great. Their burritos are super as our their enchiladas. All the fish dishes are very good and very fresh. You will love this little hole in the wall. It is wonderful.

    One of the best burritos in LA. Northern Cali style. Guacamole and soir cream and fresh ingredients for the win.

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!
