It turns out two brothers from Mexico are putting out some incredible Lebanese dishes from a small storefront in Boyle Heights. Had the tabouleh oaxaca, babaganoush, shawarma tacos and a beef kabob, all of which were terrific. There is a really nice juxtaposition of Mexican spices and traditional Middle Eastern flavors. I'm a huge tabouleh fan and their rendition blew me away. Easily my current favorite in LA. Their baba was exceptional as well, rivaling Marouch, my other favorite spot for it, but in a much more humble setting with a better QPR. The tacos are also worth trying. While not the best shawarma you'll find, the meat was good and the blend of flavors, especially with their salsa and their toum, is great. These guys are clearly passionate about their product and are worth supporting. That was only reaffirmed after the fact, when I read the LA Weekly article on their rise to open their own restaurant. read more

Came here for dinner last week based on Yelp reviews and was surprised to find such good Mediterranean food in the middle of a primarily hispanic neighborhood. I got the Chicken Shawarma plate which came with salad, hummus, rice, pita, and a side of hot sauce. The hot sauce is the type you'd find at a mexican taco/burrito place but it was really good and went well with the food. Chicken shawarma was flavorful and tender. My buddy went with the Beef Kabob plate and while the beef was really well seasoned and delicious, he was a bit disappointed by the portions. The plate came with 1 skewer of beef. Overall, this is surprisingly good Mediterranean food in an unassuming neighborhood. read more

This place is great! Admiration for the chefs, there's a ton of love that goes into the food and it really shows. Highly recommend. Also a great way of getting people to try food that is outside of their comfort zone. read more

One of my newest favorite food spot for Lebanese with a mexican twist. I got the combo plate to try all three proteins(beef, chicken, & chorizo) and i gotta say beef was by far my favorite. So juicy and flavourful absolutely loved it. I also ordered 2 chicken shawarma tacos with were perfect. I wish i could of ordered more! But i definitely can't wait to return back and try the rest of the menu next time. Im coming for that chicken or beef kabob burrito! read more

X'tiosu is a small fusion restaurant tucked away in a strip mall in a residential area. I come here all the time for the chicken kabob plate and aquas frescas. The portions are large and the price is not bad. Everything they give is delicious from the chicken, salad, hummus, to the rice. The owners are always great as well when you meet them . It's a great addition to the neighborhood and I look forward to returning. read more

Really good chicken shawarma burrito and the tacos also, good place for lunch!!!!!!!!

This little spot in Boyle Heights is by far the Best Mediterranean spot in the area. The fusion of Oaxacan and Mediterranean fits in perfect. You get the Oaxacan flavors of Mexico tied into traditional Mediterranean plates. My recommendation is the combo plate with Oaxacan chorizo, chicken and beef kabobs. Portions are big, flavors are rich and price is reasonable. Nice outside side area to eat. PS...try the chicken shawarma tacos! Really nice!! read more

Let me just go on ahead and add another five star review to this place. I love what they're trying to do here combining cultures with food and taste and it really is working for them. Lol I remember when I introduced my Mom to one of my go to Mediterranean spots in the I.E. (Alina's) she had a chicken shawarma meal and was like "I can make tacos out of this." I remember just doing a face palm and telling her that's not how it's supposed to go, but after seeing how they have chicken shawarma tacos I most humbly stand corrected. Day two at the hospital and once again I was trying my best not to resort to the hospital cafeteria and looked up a couple spots in delivery range. My gf was slowly regaining an appetite back, and had a standard issue hospital dinner coming to her, but as soon as I said Mediterranean sounds good, the thought of a fatoush salad peaked her interest. Sadly they didn't have that, so she got a Mediterranean green salad instead and a chicken kabob meal. I ordered the combo plate. Meat quality was great. Nothing was dry and overcooked. The rice was soft and blended to perfection and the salad was good to. The dressing they used was very flavorful. Some places hummus can be chalky and clumpy however that wasn't the case here as their hummus was smooth, creamy, and tasted fresh to. The pita bread was tough, but I'm not going to hold that against them as nothing else was lacking in taste and quality. Everything was really enjoyable. Next time I would love to try the tacos/burritos. Again I love what their trying to do here. Would love to see them add a fatoush salad on the menu and possibly expand a little further on other Mediterranean dishes, but pretty much how they have it set up, you can introduce almost anyone to the Mediterranean dishes. Maybe I'll re introduce my mom to it since there's tacos on the menu. Put this on spot on your list of good places to eat in LA. read more

I love this place and I make a point to come here when I'm in the area. The chicken shawarma taco is a masterpiece. I've also had it as a pita burrito, which is very filling (and portable lol). The nopales tabouleh is so unique and refreshing--I highly recommend this as a companion to your meal. And most importantly, always ALWAYS order the agua fresca! read more

Ordered the combo plate and was afraid it was going to be too much food. I was wrong! I devoured all of it! This Mediterranean and Oaxaca fusion is amazing. Not only do the owners have a great story and background, but they also deliver on quality! Ordered directly from their website and food was ready right when I got to the window. read more

So I'm a builder. In that I like to sample as much as possible, combining items and sauces to see just how balanced the food is. This is particularly true with Mediterranean food. Now this place added salsas, which made combinations that I wouldn't fathom... and IT WORKS. Highlights for me: oaxacan tabbouleh with cactus, red salsa, chicken shawarma, and moist noodle rice (arroz con fideo). My only suggestion, this place needs better pita bread. It gets to stale/hard quickly. Otherwise, very great food adventure. It's overall pretty cheap. You sit outside. You can even go next door and grab a "drink" to accompany your food. Although, their cucumber mint water is refreshing and not too sweet. read more

The family and I finally made it out to try Xtiosu Kitchen over the weekend. I was super excited to try their food and was hoping it would live up to the hype. I mean 5 stars on yelp, not to mention all the other articles I've seen posted about this place the expectations were really high. Unfortunately they were too high cause the food was good but not great. I'd like to think that we caught them at a bad time but it is what it is. We ordered the Chicken Shawarma plate, the chicken kabob plate and the fried cauliflower bites. The thing I liked least was the pita bread, it just had a texture of a cold tortilla which is never complimenting. The meals themselves were solid just nothing to make the drive back out for myself. My kids devoured the chicken plate so I hope I'm not sounding like the food was terrible, that's definitely not the case. It just didn't blow me away. read more

Can believe I paid $10 for a chicken kabob burrito and only 3 pieces of chicken. I don't complain and support small business but when I called to speak to someone about my issue the person that answered told me doesn't understand and hung up on me. Never again. Lost a loyal customer read more

Consistently delicious. Local spot, eat here all the time. The papas and babaganoush are amazing, I always get the falafel and it lasts for at least 2 meals. read more

Hidden gem! Great food so much flavor loved the combo plate and the side of potatoes. The aguas fresca were a little bland for my taste. The agua de piña had much more flavor than the cucumber mint. Cucumber mint agua was mostly a lot of pulp. Food was delicious! Arrived for lunch a little before noon, on a Wednesday. Parking was easy to find because we arrived before their lunch rush. read more

Went for lunch last week, it is a hidden gem! The food was so great and staff was kind. Had the falafel which was fresh, green inside and crispy on the outside. Papas we're bomb, nopal tabbouleh was go good and the aguas were on point. Will def be back. read more

Awesome spot. Delicious combination of Middle Eastern and Mexican food. The Chicken Shawarma Tacos are a must try. The watermelon Agua Fresca was refreshing and delicious. The two guys behind the counter are very friendly and welcoming. I have to come back to try the Oaxaca style Hummus. read more

I've had this place a couple of times now, but just went back last night and it still hits the spot. The food is so fresh, full of flavor, and super healthy. I had the Oaxacan salad, which was my favorite! It's like a tabouleh salad but with nopales, all I can say is wow! I also had the falafel plate, comes with a side salad, hummus, rice, pickled turnips, and a piece of pita bread. The falafels were perfect, a little crunchy, packed with flavor, and moist. This is a small business that def needs our help right now and you won't regret their amazing food! read more

Really good food. Vegan tacos are super tasty. The hummus is exceptionally smooth and delicious.

Ordered food delivery from this place yesterday. Got the combo plate which came with beef, chicken and chorizo skewers. Personally, the chorizo wasn't bad but just not for me. Beef was really chewy, but tender on the inside. Chicken was my favorite. Tender and juicy, but I wished it had more of a charred grilled taste to it. They gave a lot of salad which is great but I wished they put the salad dressing on the side because it was way too sour and I had a hard time finishing the salad. Hummus is delicious. Red pickled veggies they had were too sour as well. Rice is very moist and plump. Falafel had a very nice crispy exterior and soft interior. It tasted so good. I could tell they put a lot of mung bean into it because the taste was so prominent. Food is pretty good for the price, would consider coming here again. read more

Mediterranean first then Mediterranean-Mexican second. This hole-in-the-wall is a hidden gem for Mediterranean food lovers & affordably priced. Owned & operated by brothers of Oaxacan origin, we always start our meal with crispy falafel dipped in creamy tzatziki then indulge in their delicious combo plates. Having been to the Middle Eastern continent, they know what they're doing! However, you maybe better off ordering take out & enjoy your meal ending with baklava or Turkish delight for dessert. read more

I always enjoy myself when I go here. I've done both take out and delivery and the service is solid on both accounts. Since I live so close, I've been able to go a few times and try a lot of different items. You have to try the shawarma taco, because where else are you gonna get something like that? The pickle on top is super yummy with the meat. My favorite favorite has to be the chorizo type sausage, but the chicken and steak are both good choices too. I typically just order the combo so I can have a bit of everything, and a side of falafel to share. The falafel is tasty and not at all dry like it can sometimes be. The tabouleh oaxaca salad is always good too, I love how fresh it tastes and how the textures go together. Their hummus and salsas are super flavorful too! Overall a good, quick place to eat. The flavors are all there and the food is always fresh. Definitely a place to hit up if you're in the area. read more

Xtiosu Kitchen - Sampler plate w/ homemade Oaxacan chorizo goodness - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

Xtiosu is a small counter only restaurant that brings together the unique flavors of Oaxacan and Lebanese cuisine. Started by two brothers who began working in mediterranean restaurants upon their move to Los Angeles from Oaxaca, they began to observe and experiment with mixing middle eastern food with dishes from where they are originally from. The inspirational story also happens to translate into some incredible dishes. I'd recommend starting off with some of the smoky baba ganoush and pita bread. Followed by a falafel, or kebab plate that comes with rice or the oaxacan salad. Yet their essential dish are the chicken shawarma tacos. Which on the surface look already like delicious street tacos. However they are a completely unique and inventive creation. Blending the Mexican flavors of the corn tortillas, red salsa, and cilantro with the chicken shawarma, sauce, and beets make for a distinctive and addictive treat. read more

This place will be added to my regulars. Decent prices and fresh food I really like that they have their vegan options clearly marked. Will be back for that cauliflower taco. read more

We ordered both vegan tacos, the babaganouj, Oaxacan hummus, potatoes and all the sauces. Everything was AMAZING. I generally don't even like potatoes and I couldn't stop eating them. I would come order everything again every single day if I could. read more

Xtiosu Kitchen - Oaxacan Hummus, Babaganouj Eggplant, Papas Preparadas, Vegan tacos - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My friend found this place on Instagram and after loving it insisted she bring me a plate because it was so good- and she was right. THE FALAFEL ARE SO. ADDICTING. I don't particularly eat rice anywhere (if I'm gonna do a carb make it a potato, you know?) but I ate all of their rice. It's so fluffy and pairs perfectly with the falafel and hummus. The Lebanese Salad is subtle and seasoned to perfection. My friend also brought me the combination plate (chorizo/chicken/beef) with the Tabouleh Oaxaca Salad and- I mean the flavors are just so good. I'm not a fan of traditional tabouleh... but the addition of nopales just... wow. The taste makes me just so happy. All of the meats are delicious but it's the falafel that really take the cake for me. I just. Can't. Stop. Eating them. read more

I never heard of this place even though I grew up in the in City Terrace. I saw them on a Netflix show "Ugly Delicious" and I was wow. So we had to try it and it was amazing. Honestly It was, it was so tasty and lots of flavor. We had the combo and and made some changes on the salad and upgraded. This is a must stop. read more

Really good find, especially for the area! I reduced a star because I think their chicken is poor quality and their rice (whis is essential in their dishes) is pretty bland and undercooked. It also isn'ttoo expensive but could be more affordable for sure considering. BUT, im giving it good remarks foe their cauliflower and papas appetizers for sureeeee ans the fact that they're a solid option here locally. I'll be back soon! #kungfood read more
