    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!

    Honestly, out of all the sit-in restaurants I've ever been to in LA, this is one of my favorites. Very fairly priced, great flavors (like, actually), good portions. I love ordering the chicken tacos or chicken enchiladas and a beer or a margarita. The margaritas are great and don't taste syrupy. I can't recall the name of the female employee who always helps/serves us but we love her. This place is very overlooked but I highly recommend it. It's super fun and chill and it really does have an authentic feeling behind it.

    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
    Danny M.

    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!!
    Michael H.

In addition to their expertly-crafted pastries, Sweet Lily offers a great variety of French dishes and packaged food items. My group ordered the Sugar Beignet, Raspberry Croissant, and Coffee Croissant - which were all wonderful. The Raspberry Croissant had a not-too-sour fresh jelly filling and was definitely the crowd favorite, but the thick, latte-flavored filling in the Coffee Croissant made it a close second place. The fresh-squeezed orange juice at $5 felt like an absolute bargain, and the Cappuccino was also well-executed. The real stars of the show were the entrees, though. Both the Avocado Toast plate and Croque Monsieur truly tasted like a trip to France. They were hearty and full of flavor, without feeling too heavy. The Sweet Lily twist on Avocado Toast includes melted mozzarella and slices grapes, which really elevated the dish!
