“ This place is Da' Bomb! Most of the menu is like Tapas, but they are more than enough to fill you up! Please don't sleep on the Tortillas and Lentils (Black Beans) or the Quesadilla with Ox Tails and Plantains (a mind blowing experience)!! Lots of vegetarian dishes that are fantastic! My suggestion is the Sauteed Mushrooms (to die for)! If you are ever in the area of DTLA, it is right across the street from LA Live! Do miss out!! ”
“ If six exist then yeah they should get six. FLAVORS!!! you are in for a treat if you come. Super creative balance of extreme flavors that hit the right portion amount. It changes your stereotype of what you eat on the streets. Be adventurous when looking through their menu, if you think it sounds weird or out of your comfort zone then order it. I felt like I ate a pie inside out with a non sequitur textures that would represent filling and crust. The soup... Still dumd-founded how they balance sour and savory broth. yeah that too was an experience with high impact flavors too. ”
