Robbie EmzApril 16, 2017Noche one of the greatest and funniest server one could ask for. Excellent service very polite and gave us recommendations on margaritas. He even gave us a bit of history on where the food came from.
Eric LaneOctober 30, 2011Kick off your meal with the Chicharron de Queso: cheddar cheese grilled into a crisp disc. You rip off pieces and eat it with handmade tortillas and guacamole. A great meal for out-of-town guests.
M WJune 22, 2011Only place in the area for a decent early dinner - my second time here pre-premiere. Great spot for a variety of tastes. Always get the taco sampler! Very good drinks, friendly service - recommend!
Dave SDecember 31, 2015"I was introduced to the awesome huevos rancheros with a morita chile sauce at the Loteria Grill, they've haunted my dreams." - Serious Eats/The Food Lab
Try the enchiladas de mole poblano just how grandma makes them, my hubby got the carnitas con salsa de morita he said it was just like how his mom cooks. Big thumbs up
Tamarind margarita my fav, they're all great made from scratch. If its your first time try the taco sampler. If you love cheese try the chicharron de queso or the queso panela
Jessica ChongOctober 17, 2013The food is good but they need more servers as the ones here seem really overwhelmed esp on a Thursday night. I like the Studio City and Grove locations much better... This is my 4th time here?
Brendan ArndtFebruary 10, 2012This place had a really nice atmosphere and had a nice decor without bring too fancy. The food was amazing. Get the 12 taco sampler delishhhhhhh
Michael CJuly 7, 2017Get the guacamole. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered from the enchiladas to tacos.
Jonathan CorleyJanuary 19, 2011The "Albondigas en Chipotle de Carne" were a mouthful to order, but they were fantastic. I'm from Atlanta, and this was walking distance from my hotel. Highly recommended.
James SmithMay 29, 2013The taco selection is very good. Go for the 2,3 or 4 taco sampler to try a few different ones.
If you have never been before, I strongly recommend the mini-soft taco platter for 14 bucks - you'll be able to taste every filling. Can't beat the Loteria margarita either!
Chrissy ThomasSeptember 11, 2016The enchiladas are really tasty and their happy hour margaritas are great!
Hola Mexico Film FestivalFebruary 21, 2013Great place to dine! Tonight is frijollywood party! A once a year delight to celebrate mexican things in Hollywood! Big ups to Jimmy for doing this!
Rachel RudJune 13, 2011As a vegetarian, it was so nice to have tacos that were filled with ingredients besides beans & cheese. So yummy!! The margs are good too :)
Stephen SandersAugust 2, 2011This is probably the best Mexican restaurant that I have ever been to. Try the halibut ceviche and the empanadas for an appetizer.
Bryan DeSenaFebruary 11, 2013Great food, but they charge an unnecessarily steep cake cutting fee if you happen to be here for a birthday.
Jonathan TashimaMarch 13, 2013Only two single use restrooms for a restaurant this size isn't enough! But don't fret, there is a "secret" bathroom: go up the stairs in the very back and turn left.
Rana MaayahOctober 10, 2018The first thing having a good customer services then amazing kind of food
Pam R.February 5, 2013Happy hour from 4-7pm daily means half price drinks and apps. Shrimp tacos are amazing.
Laura Weidman PowersJuly 15, 2010Carne deshebrada burrito is amazing. And if you're not in a margarita mood, the zinfandel is quite nice.
Cathy ChangDecember 19, 2010The margarita de fresa is a smooth beginner drink. Like a strawberry daiquiri with a kick!
BravoNovember 12, 2010L.A. is filled with good Mexican food but they are number one. -Danielle Keene, Top Chef Just Desserts
Chiles Rellenos are in a world of their own. Spectacular!!!
Sheldon NylanderMarch 28, 2013The service is fantastic, but the food is kind of meh and a bit salty. Not sure what others are really seeing in this place.
Order the Ray vegetarian tasting menu. Then tip 50%. You won't be sorry.
Esti MarieJuly 16, 2014Meh. This place is good for the queso fundido with chorizo... Everything else we had including the service was mediocre.
Los AngelesSeptember 6, 2013Favorites like the shredded beef taco, the enchiladas in tomatillo sauce and the skirt steak served with roasted fingerlings and tequila-spiked drunken beans remain popular.
Bob BennettOctober 15, 2009Step 1. Get the pibil taco. Step 2. Revel in it's glory and your happy taste buds. Step 3. Get a great anejo tequila to top off your meal.
Seth OtterstadJanuary 28, 2015The entire taco sampler was bad. Either the reviews are fake or they had a really bad day when I went.
