Everything tasted super fresh and the citrus gave it the perfect balance. The Bone Marrow Mole was rich, flavorful, and came with a generous portion and toast.

The fried calamari, corn, empanadas, short rib tostada and chicken taco, all were good dishes but none of them were mind blowing. Prices were mostly fair. The service was really good.

I recognized it from Season 1 of Nobody Wants This, and apparently seeing a restaurant on TV is all the encouragement I need to add another dinner reservation to the calendar. Parking in Los Feliz gave us a little pre-dinner challenge. A friend and I eventually went with valet, while another friend circled a few times before finding street parking. Consider this my future self taking notes: next time, Uber. Walking inside was probably my favorite first impression. Mírate unfolds across multiple levels with warm lighting, greenery, tucked-away lounge areas, and that huge tree in the middle of the courtyard. We were seated upstairs near the top of the stairs by the restroom, which gave us a view down into the main space. Admittedly, I spent a little time admiring the tables around the tree and understanding exactly why that area is such a draw. Something to aim for on a future visit. We ordered several dishes to share. Some of the starters were a little smaller than I expected, but there was plenty of flavor packed into them. The ribeye taco was one of my favorites, with Chihuahua cheese, salsa verde, and a little heat from the Yahualica chile. The octopus taco was right up there with it, paired with Chihuahua cheese, frijoles puercos, and pineapple pico that brought in a nice sweet-savory contrast. Both disappeared quickly, which is generally a good sign at our table. The cocktails were another highlight. Everyone ordered something different and there wasn't a disappointed person in the group. Our server checked in throughout the evening without hovering, which gave us plenty of time to eat, talk, and inevitably compare everyone's drink choices. By the end of dinner, I had already figured out my strategy for round two: Uber there, explore a little more of the cocktail menu, and see if we can snag one of those coveted tables near the tree. Even if we don't, I'd happily come back.

Everything tasted really fresh, bright, and limey which worked perfectly with the tacos.

So if you're a true Angeleno, I'm pretty sure you've tried your traditional standard Mexican street fare. Tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas... Well, let me tell you... you've never had a torta like this until you come here. If you're not familiar with the "torta" simply put it's basically a Mexican sandwich. You've got your meat, a layer of refried beans, usually complimented by tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cheese, and slices of fresh avocado. This spot bases their concept on a torta that is "DF style". If you don't know DF it's known as the Federal District, or to us non-Mexicans as Mexico City. I'm assuming that's how tortas are made back home in Mexico City. I've had many tortas from many spots, and at the superb recommendation of some good Mexican friends, I went with them on a Friday evening and decided to give this place a try. Long story short, two things that truly set this place apart. First the bread. Most torta spots will just use a plain roll sliced down the center, lightly toasted. Nothing special. But true sandwich connoisseur will know that most of the time it's the bread that make the sandwich. I asked my friend what kind of bread they use and he really couldn't describe it either in a specific way. It's a "flat iron" style bread that's toasted on the outside. But you bite into it and it's just perfect. Crunchy on the outside and moist and soft on the inside. Come to think of it now, reminds me of the McDonald's McGriddle bread, but without the maple syrup sweetness. Just awesome. Second, imagine this bread that I just described on their main specialty the "Cubana". Imagine milanesa (breaded steak), ham, and this thinly cooked layer of pork to a tender crisp (I forgot the name of this) all piled on with cheese, avocado, tomatoes and jalapenos and bonded harmoniously with this flat iron bread. This is one beautiful sandwich. I got to try some other ones, like the "Sonidera" (I forgot what this one had, but they were all similar but tasty) and the asada. The steak was very tender in that one as well. The sizes and portions are generous, and cut neatly in half wrapped in paper so it doesn't get too messy either. But all in all, as mentioned... gotta try the bread and the go try the Cubana. Now for the fine print. This place is a tiny trailer parked on the corner of 27th St. and San Pedro St. so there is no physical address. If you're heading southbound on San Pedro and see 27th, it should be on the right hand corner. The parking is scarce, but there is some street parking and you can casually park your ride in the adjacent liquor market parking lot at the corner for a little while. If you're gonna take it to-go, that's what I recommend. We actually parked our car on the parking lot and ate on the top of the trunk. And people that have done this before, you know food always tastes 10 times better when it's eaten on top of a car trunk. Their hours of operation are somewhat limited. According to the flyer, they are open only on Fridays 4 to 9:30pm, and Saturdays and Sundays 11:00am to 8pm. Wait was a bit long (about 20 mins for three sandwiches) but well worth it. The entire show is run by 3-4 ladies but one bite and you can totally tell this torta was made with love. It almost tastes homemade. The neighborhood will have question marks all over it. I don't recommend wearing your Rolex and driving your Benz. But doesn't mean you have to dodge bullets while taking bites in between. This is all compensated by the many people waiting in line for service, so plenty of foot traffic and it's a bunch of neighborhood locals. If you're in for a true LA experience and want to try a torta that sets another bar, I highly recommend this place. One suggestion... go grab yourself a Mexican coke from the Mexicali Market right on the corner. Not the canned stuff, not the plastic bottle... the pure, unadulterated, made-from-sugar-not-corn-syrup Coke in a thick glass bottle imported straight from the border. Pairing this with the Cubana is akin to a fine glass of Cabernet with a superb dry-aged medium rare filet mignon. read more

This is a street taco vendor, so the vibe is pure Tijuana energy, smoky grill, sizzling meat, and that beautiful chaos that tells you the food is gonna be fire. It's absolutely an eat‑in‑your‑car type of spot. You're not here for candles and mood lighting. I did that way earlier in the evening. You're here to lean over your lap praying your burrito doesn't explode on your shirt. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient -- the kind of crew that knows you're hungry and doesn't play games. They move with confidence, like they've fed thousands of people who "just came for one taco" and left with a full combo and a new personality. Wow....The Food (AKA Why I Almost Licked My Steering Wheel) * Tacos Estilo Tijuana -- Smoky, juicy, and stacked like they're trying to test your jaw strength. The tortillas were warm and perfect, and the meat had that grill‑kissed flavor that makes you close your eyes for a second. Tijuana tacos * Burritos, Massive. Heavy. A full commitment. The kind of burrito that makes you question your life choices but in a good way. Every bite was loaded, messy, and absolutely worth the risk of dropping salsa on my pants. The salsa, so Dangerous. The onions and cilantro? Fresh. The grill smoke? Perfume for hungry people. Like me. Ha ha ha ! Tacos La Humadera is the type of food establishment that kidnaps you with smell alone. Great service, killer tacos, and a burrito that should honestly come with a seatbelt warning. If you're in LA and you smell something magical in the air... follow it. It's probably this place calling your name. Miguel C.
