    More religious statues and a whole collection of rooster jugs!
    Shushanik P.

    Today was my second visit to Tere's Mexican Grill and I decided it's time to write a review for this establishment. My son and I were out running errands and we were both pretty hungry. I was craving Mexican food and he suggested we come here. I can wholeheartedly say that this place just doesn't really blow me away in any aspect. Both of the times we've eaten here, we sat at the exact same table and I felt the same way about the experience. The food is good, but the service is lackluster and the ambience/atmosphere is kind of confusing. There's a lot of random decor here and there. Seems to be a collection of knick knacks and religious photos/statues...there's a random water fountain near the register. There are a lot of roosters throughout the place. I'm not sure if these all hold specific attachments for the owners or something, I'm not sure what the story is behind all of this. Erick was on duty when we walked in and he took our order. He wasn't the most pleasant/friendliest guy but got the job done. The only other employee we encountered was a woman named Claudia who had a more friendly demeanor as she cleared off our table and also gave me some more ice for my horchata. Speaking of, the horchata was NOT enjoyable and I've had way better ones at many other Mexican restaurants. It was just like swallowing whole cinnamon sticks and I do not recommend ordering it if it's a beverage you typically like. I had the carne asada burrito and it was delicious. It came with rice, beans, sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, onions, and cilantro. The whole thing was then grilled to get it nice and toasty. It was a delicious burrito and very filling. It also came with a side of tortilla chips that were a bit too thick for my liking. I usually prefer thinner chips. My son had the Pollo Asado plate which came with rice, beans, pico de gallo and guacamole. He subbed the beans for a salad and said his food was delicious. He wiped the whole plate clean! They also have a small parking lot up the side street and behind the restaurant. You have to go up that really steep street and you'll see it there on the left. Overall, this place is not bad but I would probably prefer dining at other Mexican restaurants when the craving hits me. Their Michoacán cuisine seems to have found a good home in LA as they've been open since 2002 and still standing. Try it for yourself and see what you think!

    Fun place with a festive atmosphere and great parking off Ventura. Plenty of seating inside and out. Friendly service. Great chips and salsa. Really good carne asada burrito. Everything tasted fresh. Crisp. Good flavor. Not life altering, but solid. Would definitely come back.

    Chile Verde dish(pork), home made tortillas and freshly made sangria
    Majid M.

    Absolutely amazing Chile verde, it is spicy, but very tasty and a nice six dollar happy hour sangria

    Heather P.

    The food is delicious here - handmade tortillas, no lard, a wide variety to choose from and the environment was relaxing and colorful! Just the way I like it. I will be back for more tacos ;)

    Pork con Chile Verde

    Been coming here for 15 years. Everything on the menu is amazing staff is so nice and it's a great place to sit down outside and have a quick meal. Pork con chile verde and the chicken burrito are my go-tos but don't sleep on the nachos and pozole on Saturday's.

    Festive spot!!

    The shrimp enchiladas were super good--packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. I also loved the horchata; it was creamy, sweet, and refreshing. The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the staff made us feel right at home. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with a colorful, vibrant decor that adds to the whole experience. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

Now when you pull up originally you might think, "am I in the right place" but once you park and get into the courtyard, it is LOVELY! Amazing ambience! There is a bocce set up, string lights. It is a little slice of oasis in the middle of the fashion district. The restaurant itself - beautiful. I couldn't ask for more. Absolutely perfect in my book. Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried. Unfortunately my friends had gone to Funke the night before so they were comparing the squash blossoms and Funke won out, but they still liked Dama's! Small plates were enough for the 3 of us. The service was quick and attentive. Parking was easy for us. I will definitely be back!

The staff are lovely humans who really seem to care about their customers. We have some faves on the menu. The bean dip is fabulous and I'm addicted to the baby gem salad. 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.

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.

We ordered a few items to share: Cameron ceviche, flautas and for our sweet tooth, French toast paired with a mango sorbet surprise with a candle for our birthdays (tip: we drizzled the melted sorbet on our French toast and took small scoops with each bite - game changer!).

I'm sure they have their reasons, but I was pretty disheartened to see it go. Overall, the menu doesn't have a ton of vegan items, but they do have some room for adjustments if you ask. Despite the menu change, the incredible atmosphere and unique menu still make it a must-try.

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.
