    Sunny Spot doesn't skip a beat during the sunny brunches, where things like spicy shrimp with fried egg and grits or banana french toast go great with a bottomless rum punch (ditch the mimosa!).

    Celebrity chef Roy Choi recently re-formatted the menu to be on bigger plates & the food is like an island vacation! Plates come with rice and coleslaw. All the sandwiches comes with yucca fries. Yum! Read more

    Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva is also at the Sunny Spot. Ask the bartender for any of their amazing creations and don't miss the impressive rum bar they've got in the back.

    Order the MUH-F'K'N MOFONGO!!! not just because you can get away with cursing at your server either, it's a sweet "salad" of sorts with a bit of heat on the side. A really amped up comfort food!

    Made with roasted pork, ham, chicharron, Dijon mayo and house-made pickles, the Cuban Media Noche at Sunny Spot in LA is blanketed in Gruyere cheese and served with a side of plantain chips. Read more

    Sunny Spot’s cheeseburger — with American cheese, crispy buttermilk onions, tomato, housemade pickles and fancy sauce — is a great dish to enjoy hand in hand with its Caribbean style side dishes. Read more

    One of the best bottomless cocktails for brunch options in town. Pick from Bloody Mary, mimosa, and rum punch for only $17.

    Great bottomless. You can rotate between rum punch, mimosas, or bloody Mary's. Can't go wrong with the veggie omelet or skirt steak sandwich for food options

    Tasty food in quirky happy very lively place. Loved the heirloom tomatoes and the beet salad and the spicy scallops. And the waitress was in a very happy mood :-)

    Weekend Brunch is legit: the Salt Cod Brandade Benedict is excellent, and you can step outside the Bloody Mary comfort zone with the Bridgetown Swizzle or one of the best Piña Coladas in town. Read more

    Oxtails! One of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. The ropa vieja is also outstanding. Great patio with walls so you're not right in the street.

    Another Roy Choi restaurant! Fun twist to brunch food. Love their outdoor patio area. I heard their bottomless brunch drink deal is pretty sweet, too.

    The food was a little overshadowed by the bottomless brunch deal but good nonetheless. Loud place with a fun vibe. Almost everyone there was in a large group and/or celebrating something.

    here's a great description - The newest Caribbean inspired incarnation from Kogi Chef, Roy Choi. Mofongo, Yucca and the tastiest double-fried jerk chicken wings. Get the GOAT or Diablo prawns.

    The updated menu now includes blueberry pancakes with sesame butter. Sadly, does not fit with the Caribbean restaurant vibe as they as just normal boring blueberry pancakes.

    Short rib hash was pretty good. It was a little greasy and needed maybe more crisp to it to be a true hash. Flavor was good otherwise.

    Their goat was amazing, but the lamb is pretty great too. Give it a try! Along with a death in the DR! You'll love it.

    I love the 'Death in the D.R.' but honestly any of the cocktails are legit! And come for happy hour to get two fisted burger and yucca fries!

    I want to like the food more but it's always just ok. The shrimp and grits are tasty but I've had much better and have been spoiled by Nola. However, the cocktails and atmosphere make it worth a trip

    Pickled slices of dragon fruit make for a light start. The Cuban torta—a stack of pork terrine, prosciutto, provo-lone, and jalapeños—is a taste extravaganza. Read more

    Hands down the best place to grab a drink if you're not parched because you're going to have to wait 20 minutes until it comes.

    It's a lie from those who said street parkings is easy peasy during rush hour on yelp. Apparently not. Try to make a left into the side streets before the restaurant. You will find some there.

    Food & drinks are ood but they REALLY need more waitstaff and kitchen staff in order to be more efficient & effective. My waitress was so sweet but they are all stressed which isn't good for anyone.
