    The food is always amazing! The carnitas are fall of the bone tender and the orange glaze is beyond. The venue is super cute but what made the night was out server Denae D. Her personality shines and she can work a table like I’ve never seen before! She charmed my mom and dad, which is not an easy thing to do, and she managed to consistently check on us while managing other tables and being amazing over there as well. 10/10 will return again AND make sure I sit in Denaes area! I hope the restaurant acknowledges the amazing staff they have and keep her for as long as she needs the gig (:

    The food, the drinks, and the service was excellent! We loved the carnitas main dish and the pork belly taco was phenomenal. Can’t wait to come back to try more dishes.

    Service was superb, food was classsin Mexican with a slight twist. If you’re a ceviche fan try their ceviche in a coconut brine. The carnitas was enough for 2. Great place to come and enjoy a great meal

    The food here is consistently yummy. Even what you think might be a blah dish like guacamole is made fun with light and fluffy puffy chips! If you’re a meat eater, get the steak! It’s perfection. Worth the price and the sides that come with are grilled so well. The ceviche is mild and fresh and all the tacos are so tasty. Try and go with a hungry group so u can get a lot… oh, the drinks are super fun, too. And a shout out to the staff last night when an unexpected rainstorm came down and even though they were soaked they rallied and got us fed and moved comfortably inside to a newly created table! So nice. ❤️

    This was a collaboration where Expendio used the space of Cha Cha Cha. Expendio de Maíz is probably my favorite restaurant in Mexico City and they brought all the vibes to Los Angeles. 10/10 experience I hope they come back.

    Really nice patio area & good drinks, but the food was a bit overpriced and not good enough to return in my opinion.

    The guacamole was good because it was cold and fresh. The chips were crunchy. The bluefin tuna tostada was colorful because of the two different colors of fish. The churros were soft and fluffy. I am definitely coming back.
