This neighborhood spot focuses on Oaxacan style Mexican food and more specifically tacos, but there are also middle eastern influences in their food (e.g. falafel taco). I saw a recommendation that I should stop by and try chicken shawarma tacos here. So I definitely ordered that as well as a falafel taco. I loved the flavors and the textures of both tacos. The sauce were wonderful and just a delight to eat. It should be noted that the prices are very, very reasonable. I can see how this is a beloved neighborhood spot, especially with really friendly folks behind the window where you order at. This spot has an ordering window with some seating located outside the service style is you go to the window and you put in your order and they bring out your food to you. This is one of those areas where it seems like there should be an easy parking, but there really isn't. I parked a few blocks away.

A family member got catering from here years ago in 2020 and I haven't stopped thinking about it since! Fast forward to this weekend, and we had to go! Important: Setting is walk up and order, no indoor seating, but such a nice patio if its good weather. MUST GET: Tabouleh Oaxacan, Combo plate The chorizo was delicious, and the meats were very good as well. I love this fusion spot because they do it right. The salsa they make is flavorful and roasty, with a nice bit of heat. The tabouleh with nopales is phenomenal. Can eat it all day! The staff was friendly and we're timely. You can tell they took the time to make your order fresh. Will be coming back more often!

This place is So Non discreet that if you are not familiar with Boyle Heights you'd Miss it! This is DEFLY ~ALWAYS~ on my list when I fly to L.A., which happens at least 4-6 times a year. My Son knows we either go upon landing or w/i 24 hours of my arrival. These guys have Mediterranean food down to an absolute Tea! From the fluffy moist rice, to chicken that is tender and melts in your mouth an insanely fresh & lightly dressed salad and lastly to the perfect texture Pita!!! The last touch is the sauce astoundingly exceptional!!! This just a place you don't want to miss! Oh! They have a couple of tables for outside dining. We either pick up most of the time!

It's a place where you walk up and order. There is a shaded patio area in front with a couple tables and chairs you eat at. I never had fusion like this before, I ordered the chicken shawarma tacos and upgraded my salad to a side of Tzatziki salad. The chicken was not dry at all and was flavored with Mediterranean spices. The hummus that came with the combo plate was delicious and smooth I ate it all. My favorite salad is Tzatziki so of course I had to have that upgrade and think there were small pieces of nopal in it?! It was a great lunch and glad my friend brought me along to try a unique spot. Vegan options available like the falafel.

X'tiosu Kitchen makes delicious Mexican-influenced Mediterranean fare. It's a unique restaurant in LA. There's a history of Lebanese immigration to Mexico, and thankfully we Angelenos are better off for having X'tiosu here to give us a taste of this food. The kabobs are delicious, the beef and chicken are fine but my favorite is the chorizo kabob. The shawarma and falafel are tasty. The Oaxacan hummus stands out -- whipped black beans with Oaxacan spices, topped with extra virgin olive oil. The tabbouleh Oaxaca salad is also outstanding, made with nopales, tomatoes, cilantro, onions, parsley and citrus. The creamy babaganoush has a nice mix of spices and a pool of olive oil. The pita that accompanies many of the dishes is very good. Prices are very reasonable given the quality of the food. The restaurant is located in a small modest strip mall in Boyle Heights, where they have a few outdoor tables (nothing indoors). There's parking in a small lot and some street parking. Many customers are taking food to go. Definitely make an effort to try their food, it's distinctive and delicious.

These tacos packed so much flavor and were so filling! Go support your small/local restaurants! You will not go wrong here! I definitely want to go back and try other items on the menu!

Heard of this eatery via Netflix. Chef David Chang featured this restaurant on Ugly Delicious. The parking lot is tiny and there is only outdoor dining with great shade. I was very intrigued by the Mediterranean and Mexican fusion so I had to try it out. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma plate which includes salad, rice pilaf and hummus. The Chicken was extremely tender and seasoned beautifully. The rice was okay, it wasn't as flavorful as I expected. The salad and in house dressing was amazing and super fresh. The hummus was delicious! And texture was on point. Their homemade salsa was so damn good too!! You could definitely taste the smokiness in the chilis they used. I would highly recommend this place if your looking for authentic fusion food. I can't wait to come back and try the Mole!

Olga M.

Definitely a 10/10! I'm glad we made the drive from South Central to eat this deliciousness The beef was soft, the salad was fresh, and the salsa was kicking!

I read an article in Westways so I sought out this location. Limited parking but fast service. I ordered the combo so I could try a bit of everything. The chicken and beef were good. I did not care for the chorizo. The humus was a bit off in flavor. Good salad and turnips. This location has 4 tables and shade.

Came here around 3:30 PM on a Saturday in late January 2022. The plaza had a few parking spaces open and the place wasn't busy. They have outdoor seating only with 4 tables. Only one of those tables was taken when we got there. We ordered at the window and paid with my card. My bf ordered the combo plate and I ordered the Falafel plate. My bf substituted his side salad with the Tabouleh Oaxacan Salad, which ended up being the right call because the regular side salad was underwhelming. He said the meat was just "OK" and was a bit dry. The food was good - fresh. The tahini sauce was tangy and great hummus. The falafel was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I also got their pineapple fresca which was very good even though it wasn't very sweet. I think the main downsides to this place were their cheap forks (which had a lot of trouble stabbing through the falafel), they're really pricey, and how they charged extra for their sauces. It was an extra $1.50 for a tahini sauce and $0.75 for extra salsa Verde. You should also be mindful that they charge $2.25 for bottled water (the same price as any of their soft drinks).

I've been wanting to come and eat here ,there a brotherly family story behind this place . I was able to finally make a driver here. They do have the best Hummus I've ever had along with there very slightly toasted pita bread. I had the combination plate,it was a good choice The beef was soft and light flavor as well as the chicken was. I wasn't to happy with the chorizo,dry not much flavor. Rice/ salad was a great portion. Slightly pricey but over all good food. Small outdoor eating area.

Chicken Shawarma with bland parboiled rice, Tabouleh Oaxaca, and hummus. The hummus and pita saved me. The rest is in the .

A friend read about the brothers and their restaurant, and we knew we had to visit. She got the shawarma chicken plate and I had the falafel plate. Both were huge servings, with pita and side salsas. The salsas were full of flavor, the falafel is the best I've had in LA. My friend thoroughly enjoyed her chicken and we both had plenty for another meal. The brothers who own the spot chatted with us for a moment, and proudly presented our order when it was ready. We immediately regretted not eating on the patio (it was a bit chilly!) because the food smelled sooooooooooooooo good in the car! Will definitely be back soon. read more

Great Babaganosh! (not sure on the spelling) Shawarma Tacos are really yummy. Tabouli salad with nopales is so refreshing. We also got the Kabob combo, chicken was a little dry the salsa was a good compliment for it. It comes with chorizo sausage (so good), and beef kabob. It's a good size but not my fave. It's nothing fancy more like seriously outdoor street corner tables, but so worth it. Lots of families walking around at night. The two guys working that night were really nice. I will definitely be going back for more shawarma tacos and babaganosh! read more

Found this place while searching for a good taco spot. Today As it turns out it was both Cinco de Mayo and the first day of Ramadan so we thought it would be a cool place to go for lunch. Also it came really highly recommended with lots of good reviews. It did not disappoint. We would definitely make the trek back over there for that excellent and unique food combination. We had the tabouli made with cactus, the black bean hummus was fantastic and so was the traditional hummus--Both were creamy and perfectly balanced. Taco is great also, we really loved at all. Super full and it was very very reasonably priced! read more

Fantastic, fresh, fusion food from a an modest kitchen with outdoor seating. We had heard about this place and since there was break in the rain, we decided to head over and check it out! Parking on the street was no problem. The owner was friendly and helpful, portions were generous and prices, reasonable. We ordered the beef kabob plate, chicken kabob burrito, mediterranean salad (a tabbouleh-like salad with cactus), hummus and fried cauliflower. The next table's combo plates looked amazing but we had already ordered plenty for two...everything was delicious. The cauliflower was prepared to perfection, not mushy nor over-fried; just slightly caramelized and tender, yet, retaining it's bite and form (almost a roasted quality). It came with a creamy, tangy dipping sauce. We happily dipped our hot, grilled pita bread in the hummus and the (cauliflower's) dipping sauce. We'll be back for the combo plates and chicken tacos. read more

First time trying Mizlala. It was an interesting food experience. It's Mediterranean food but their…read moreflavors were a bit different than what I'm used to. I got the schnitzel plate which came with rice, hummus, salad, pita bread, and mustard sauce. The mustard sauce really through me off since I was thinking more of toom sauce or tzatziki sauce. The rice had an odd taste, more on the bland side? However the pita was very hefty and pita pocket ready. The hummus was good with a few yellow chilies (super spicy). The schnitzel was hefty and huge portions almost like 5 pieces of chicken. With the portion size it's a decent price for it. Highly recommend trying out this new taste.

There is a private lot but fills up, and there's also adjacent street parking. I love sitting at the bar and seeing the plate being prepared. Also love the open freezers so you can see the fresh seafood hanging. Another standout was the homemade hot sauces! Each had a distinct flavor from sweet, smokey, and hot so it was really fun to try. The ceviches and the raw cold dishes were my favorite, especially the scallop aguachile! SO GOOD. Would order that 100 times.

Order the Kanpachi taco: a shatter-crisp blue corn tortilla, molten fried cheese, silky buttery kanpachi, and a slick of smoky chili oil drizzled over top. The kind of taco you'll think about long after you've experienced it. You can't go wrong with the ceviches, cocteles, or aguachiles. The ceviche is bright with lime and the cocteles are lush and briny with a tomatoey kick, and the aguachiles hit with sharp citrus, fresh herbs, and it's a really decent amount of fish. If you're looking for a more traditional hot entree get the Filete al Cabrón: grilled sea bass with cilantro-lime rice, beans, and warm flour tortillas. Simple and so comforting. Fresh seafood can be hard to find in L.A., but Holbox does it like no other. Takes me back to Mexico City every time!

The restaurant had both indoor and outdoor seating and the high ceilings made the ambiance feel really nice. The decor was simple and pretty. The food arrived pretty fast and enjoyed it. Loved the beef noodle soup with added chili oil. The popcorn chicken was really crispy. Also got to try the wonton soup, shrimp wontons, beef rolls, and mapo tofu. They were all delicious but the stand outs were the beef noodle soup and the popcorn chicken. Also stayed for dessert which we got the mochi, peanut and black sesame. I liked the black sesame slight more. We also tried both of the shave ice and it was refreshing despite of being slightly too sweet.

I am not a huge fan of fusions, but when done correctly something amazing and unique like this happens. My hats off to the talented and humble owners. The falafel is prepared and fried to perfection. The babaganoush was the best I've had in a very long time. Not to mention the amazing tabouleh salad with nopales. What an ingenious creation! Their mother's recipe for their lentil soup has the perfect comfort touch. The aguas frescas are PERFECT! Not overloaded with sugar. Cannot wait to try it all. read more

Authentic and honest We happened to pass by this restaurant by chance. This is the real thing. Food is great and honest. The ambiance is great to our taste, somewhat homely, not a big restaurant, nice tables and wall décor. It's just a place you like to be in. We were lucky to meet and have a nice chat with the owner. The restaurant also displays the stuff they sell to other restaurants. read more

For me, this place is not horrible nor wonderful... I was not planning to come here, so I didn't know what to expect. We were just passing by and decided to try it. Sadly food didn't impress me but still, it didn't taste awful. Service was good. And for my experience, I can only give 3 stars to this place. read more

They are small tacos so you can order a big variety to try a lot of different meats, and you'll be full by the time you've tried a whole plate! read more
