GUELAGUETZA RESTAURANT REVIEWS
Absolutely scrumptious!!!! The mole sampler is the way to go. More than enough food for my friend and me to share. Abdiel made the experience so special -- deserving of a raise! Immaculate vibes. I will definitely be coming back.
Deliciousness, if you’re a Mole aficionado this is the place with great variety. The more rojo and the coloradito are my top two! Drinks are also delicious, the horchata with fruits and walnuts is a must. For dessert, coffee flan. Staff was very helpful, nice and patient. I recommend making a reservation beforehand.
Amazing all the way through. Great mole, great michelada, and great music too.

JAVIER'S CENTURY CITY REVIEWS
Omg I think this may be my favorite restaurant in LA!!! Coming from the east coast I look forward to trying new restaurants and Javier's did not disappoint. I had to try the signature drink ....very good margarita. Followed by the salad. Typically when you ask for Avocado you get a few chunks here and there. As you can see from the pic that was not the case. And it was very fresh. And I topped it off with the seafood pasta dish with succulent shrimp, scallops, and lobster. Parmesan cheese was not needed. We went during happy hour thinking it was going to be drinks and small plates. Once you see the menu you will change your mind and go for the entree. Javier, I'll see you my next visit to the left side.
Friendly staff - Great Tasty Food - Clean And Old Goth Decor Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for some great Mexican food and Margaritas . The ambiance is nice and mellow with a kick of music , great for any occasion. Be sure to make reservations if you plan on coming at night , especially on weekends. I look forward to stopping by again soon for some ceviche and cervezas!!
Javier's was absolutely delicious. Mike was our server, and he did an excellent job. We had a party of about 15 people. Everyone was highly satisfied. Thank you!

EL CHOLO REVIEWS
This place is "AWESOME " I've been coming here for years. I live out of town but whenever I do come to town this place is always on my schedule. Never to busy to stop in. The service is always great and the food well let's say if never found any better. I take clients and family here when ever I can to share the experience. Keep up the good work you guys shoot for the stars and hit them every time.
There's a reason this place has been around for a hundred years! Great food,drinks, and service! The mariscos enchiladas actually taste of seafood! Wonderfully seasoned and spiced. May through October the green corn tamales are available.
El Cholo’s is my favorite Mexican Restaurant! The Cadillac margaritas and the chicken chimichangas are my go to. Their red sauce on the chicken enchiladas are the best by far!
