1. Cielito Lindo Restaurant

What to choose? Stopped by this wonderful restaurant as it was recommended by a local colleague. Fresh made tortillas, rice, refried beans, and multiple choices of meat...chicken, beef, pork each in a savory sauce cooked beautifully. The meat was tender and seasoned with love. Came by during lunch but will likely return again to experience the entertainment offered in the evenings: mariachis. Friendly and prompt service. Simply great food. Yum! Gracias Cielito Lindo! Highly recommended if your in town and want great Mexican Food.
2. Pho Filet

I went to Pho Filet for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed with customers, no doubt familiar with their delicious pho and quality ingredients. The broth was very flavourful, not overpowing and the beef flank served separately so you can see it.
I also noticed a poster for a large variety of drinks, and on a whim decided to order the avocado shake, and found it to be tasty--and happily, not sweet--so I didn't feel filled up. My companions enjoyed their meals, one if them saying Pho Filet is the second best place for pho in LA, while noting that other friends of hers say it is the best.
I certainly enjoyed it!

This place is a Gem. Its a small family style authentic looking and tasting Mexican restaurant, with an added touch of deliciousness. I love the décor. The menu is mouthwatering just to read. And if you get Oscar to serve you, you'll mouth will water simply by his detailed description of the food. I recommend café de olla, champurrado, and the chicken pesto pasta.

Was driving back home fro a long weekend in Palm Springs , when we got stuck on the freeway . We knew this area had a lot of Asian resurants,so I found this highly rated restaurant and gave it a try. The food was wonderful and very fresh. The owner was very nice and helpful. The only draw back was it closes by 8 pm.

Reviewed By Marina V - Los Angeles, California
I've been coming here for over 20 yrs! i love the fish tacos, but with no "crema" (some kind of sauce made with mayo) and the potato tacos. They also come with a side of chiles "chiles gueritos". The place seems to always be crowded but it's worth the wait. I love that this location has a drive thru.

I like this little fast food place. I stop by there after work before I jump on the 10 freeway down the street. The food is good for fast food and the cook is very nice. I usually get the carne asada tacos or burrito and then buy a drink from the Shell station that it's inside.
