I respond with a resounding "hell yes!" I was hoping for a treat, but I had no idea that my expectations were going to be blown out of the water. At 10:30 at night place had tons of customers and the food was amazing. A woman by the name of Liza helped us out, letting us know that the food was made fresh so we might need some time, which we were definitely willing to take a chance on. I got the chicken kabob gyro, and my partner got a beef gyro. Both of us were grunting like animals between bites we kept yelling, " oh hell yeah!" Every bite was more delicious than the last. Their house packaged sauce called LebMex, a mix between Lebanese and Mexican I imagine, was just the right amount of heat and the whipped garlic butter that it was served with was out of this world. They also have some rarities in the refrigerator like tick tock famous pineapples soaked in Kool Aid and Warhead Lemonade. There were so many awesome selections on the menu that one could almost be paralyzed by the choices. Once we were done we had to round back to tell Liza how pleased we were and we swore an oath of duty to return as soon as we could to sample more of the delectable menu.

I've been craving breakfast food for a while so I got the breakfast burrito to try. It definitely hit the spot for me, and it was so big I ended up splitting it with 2 other people. My friend got the breakfast bowl and I tried some. It was basically the same as the burrito but just deconstructed with quinoa as a base. It was all great! I love that Guacamaya serves breakfast all day for late risers like me. I really wanted to try the coconut Tres leches that was on display as well, but I think they said it was like $12. That was way too steep for me for a single slice.

Finding a good plant-based restaurant or grocery store in my area proved a bit challenging, but I…read morestumbled upon a gem in Downey! I decided to treat my best friend to dinner and drinks. The restaurant was fairly empty when we arrived. We ordered gorditas, guacamole, and nachos. I had a margarita, and my friend enjoyed her nachos with a refreshing cucumber drink. We also purchased a cup of *Champurado* to go, after sampling it - and it's truly exceptional. My gorditas featured a delicious mushroom "meat" and soy chorizo. The chorizo had a delightful kick - a pleasant spice, not overpowering. The mushroom "meat" was fantastic! The guacamole was perfect, and I appreciated the NO tomatoes. I didn't try the nachos, but my friend seemed to thoroughly enjoy the diverse ingredients. We had a wonderful time and I'll definitely be returning. I highly recommend the *Champurrado*, the gorditas (especially the mushroom one!), and the guacamole. The soy chorizo was also excellent.

The inside is small with about handful of tables and "earthy " decor including a wooden trunk!! The Loco Moco was definitely a standout. The flavors, textures, and presentation were all on point. The only recommitted loco moco is ask the gravy on the side meal was overtly drench with the sauce. We also tried the "fish tacos" (vegan version, of course) and were really impressed and taco was crunchy, but my only complaint is it was messy eating after the 2nd bite -- the fillings seemed to be falling apart and out of the taco shell. The food is flavorful and honestly makes you forget you're eating vegan. The service was great---friendly staff and fast service. Whether you're vegan or just curious about trying plant-based comfort food, I will come back to Mustard Seed a try the burritos next time.

I've been here twice, and both visits were about the same. The food was okay. It wasn't disappointing, but it also wasn't something that really stood out to me. I've had better vegan food at other places, so I left feeling somewhat neutral. It's a decent option if you're looking for vegan food in the area, and I still encourage others to give it a try because everyone's taste and experience can be different.

Not only do they have many unique glizzies, but they also offer burgers. I've tried the following: - House Dog, which is their classic glizzy that comes with grilled veggies, house spread, mayo, mustard ketchup, and bacon bits. - Dirty Chili Dog, which comes with 100% premium all beef Nathan's 5/1 dog wrapped in center-cut bacon, chorizo chili, cheddar sauce, onion, cilantro, chipotle aioli, and bacon bits. - Elote Dog, which also comes with Nathan's 5/1 dog wrapped in center-cut bacon, corn, lime mayo, cotija cheese, chili powder, cilantro, and bacon bits. -Dirty Fries, which comes with chili-lime seasoning served with spicy ketchup. - Dirty Esquite, which is their version of the traditional Mexican street corn (elote). This side dish has lime mayo, cotija cheese, chili powder, cilantro, and bacon bits. - Single (burger), which has a single patty, American cheese, and caramelized onions on a brioche bun. I really like all of their street corn items: the Dirty Esquite and the Elote Dog. The House Dog and Dirty Chili Dog are your classic flavors, and you can't go wrong with either. Next time I want to try the LA Cheesesteak Dog and the DUI Dog, which in addition to the usual Nathan's 5/1 dog, center-cut bacon, bacon bits, it also comes with pastrami, carne asada, cheddar cheese, chipotle aioli, and cilantro.

Food: 2/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 This place is going downhill, which is so unfortunate. I used to love coming here years ago. We got the $50 combo of tteokbokki and fried whole chicken. Is the tteokbokki in the combo supposed to be smaller than the normal one? The portion was comical, filling up maybe 1/3 of the giant white bowl. There were hardly any toppings on there. The cheese was literally a strip. I know this place isn't Yupddeok but they do a whole swirl on the bowl there. Yikes. And the chicken was... mediocre at best. Very anorexic chicken. And they wanted to charge an extra $2 for sauce. Yeah, we left hungry and unhappy. My sister talked about getting McDonald's on the way home. My husband said we should've gone to Chili's. Next time, we'll make the drive to Yukddeok for tteokbokki. Service was good though, our server was very sweet. I wish I got his name but he was working the evening shift and had black hair and a black t-shirt with Gengar on it. He's the only reason the review got two stars instead of one.

Somehow word got out that it was our first visit to this Lazy Dog, and one of the line cooks appeared at our table to welcome us. He was very impressive and welcoming; we were a bit taken aback by the proactive hospitality. He said he'd like to welcome us with a complimetary bowl of their Tangy BBQ chips that came with some delicious dipping sauce. We were delighted. And those chips -- OMG, not your typical homemade chip. Next, we ordered the Brussels sprouts which were awesome and delicious. Then the Seared Ahi Tuna Salad that comes with greens, carrots, radish, avocado, pickled cucumbers, peanut ponzu vinaigrette and soy dipping sauce on the side . So delicious! The tuna was fresh and perfectly cooked with lovely a seasoned crust and pink ahi filet. We still had time before we were due at our date, so ordered coffee, then refills...and more refills, LOL! ( No wonder our performance was so wired) The staff was happy to have us linger. We did not feel rushed, and there was no pressue to vacate our table. We salivated over other menu items, and have talked about going back to try a few. We don't need an excuse to drive to Downey but we'll be looking for one! Loved this unexpected experience!
