Mika Jain: The vegan mole enchiladas are excellent and filling for vegetarians. The portion is small, yet so rich that I ended up bringing home leftovers. Would recommend the side order of corn.
andre berger: Toca Madera is a modern organic shared plate Mexican concept featuring grain fed & free range meats, sustainable seafood and a full separate vegan menu!! Don't miss the Churro Ice cream sandwich..
AMW: Sceney and dimly lit, with happy hour snack + drink specials week nights from 5-7.

Shane Pinnell: The lamb in mole sauce was delicious.
Diane Lander-Simon: Pomegranate margarita. Lamb mole. Staff.
Reserve: Make it sweet at Red O with the La Rosita cocktail — shaken with Blue Ice Organic Vodka, fresh lemon, hibiscus syrup and apple essence and served up in a sugar-rimmed glass. Read more.

Piper Collings: The carnitas and margaritas was a perfect pair. Better mole at El Carmen though.
ISAAC MYERS: The atmosphere is casual and the spicy margaritas will warm your date! The food is really really good!! The scallops were delicious andSnappChatHeadButton the potato tacos good not be beat!
Los Angeles: Even if you don’t like flan, Mercado’s version is a must. The staff calls it “the best flan in the universe.”
Travel + Leisure: For a quick bite, head here and try the mole poblano at Lotería Grill (Stall 322) or get a burger at Short Order (Stall 110).
Alex Sobo: Pampas grill for pao de queijo and churrasco, loteria for chicken nachos, French Crepe company for nutella crepes, Singapore Banana leaf for roti and peanut curry yum! Ahhh the list goes on!
The Most Interesting Man in the World: I prefer picking an exotic piece of fruit myself, however dangerous the circumstances, but the quality and selection of tastes here might be worth risking your life for as well, should it be crowded.

Brenda Gomez: Everything and the Holee Molee fries were the best
Joseph C: Emeril Lagasse BAM!💥 Dog: 9" Stretch Dog, Mustard, Onions, Cheese, Jalapeño, Bacon & Coleslaw! $7.25 (+Tax) 👍😋
David M: Wait in a ridiculously long line for a hot dog
Jessica Chong: The pig ear nachos are amazing. The tortillas are hand made all day and are so chewy and delish- the fish taco, el pastor, carnitas and the carne asada - perfection. Coming back again soon.
Fenny Fen: Don't think twice - octopus tacos.
Iknow Thisgirlfromsomewhere: Crispy Brussel sprouts are just burnt brussel sprouts. Nothing special. Way way way way too salty. Portobello taco was ok but so oily that it left me feeling vile. LA-Average. You could miss it...

Thomas Colton: Excellent coffee and solid food all around. Huevos are great and the crab cakes are good - not as excellent as they're touted to be, however
Showtime Network: Their coffee should be permanently pumped into your veins. After a Vanilla Latte and half grapefruit, I feel like I can conquer anything in my day. - Tracy
Farah Hassanzadeh: Great brunch spot. The spinach goat cheese omlette is one of my favs
