This place has 4.5 stars but let me tell you, it needs at the very least… six. After the tasteless disappointment last night at that other Nicaraguan restaurant, I swung by here on my way to the Natural History museum in LA. I ordered one of the typical nica breakfast dishes which was huevo con chorizo, gallo pinto, crema, maduro frito, and queso frito. (Eggs mixed with chorizo not spicy, rice and beans, fried plantains, sour cream, and fried cheese) Dear lawd this was awesome… everything tasted just as I expected it to taste having grown up eating this food. The portion was great, not too much and more than enough, and last but not least the service was great. Now I have to figure out how to have dinner here later or lunch before I head back home tomorrow lol. OH… and the photo should say it all… I only left some pieces of onion cause I’m not a huge onion fan but everything else, as you can see… is GONE. Highly recommend this place!!!

Very delicious Nicaraguan food, all fresh prepared from scratch. The food came out just perfect and fast too, the food was not greasy or salty and the ambiance was phenomenal. The restaurant is small and doesn’t have an outside area for the ones looking for that kind of seating but it was just what we were looking for. Our server was very pleasant and friendly so overall we had a great experience. Definitely a must go place when in LA.

I have been here a few times mainly because the price was a little more modest as compared to Portobancos on Venice. However, every time I would order the Churrasco, the meat was very chewy and the taste wasn’t great. Today I ordered this plate which is the Carne Asada for about $18, and it did not surprise me. The meat was again very chewy and really mediocre. I don’t think I’m coming back. Sometimes you have to be willing to pay more for quality elsewhere. The buñuelos were good.

I went to visit this restaurant an hour before closing and the atmosphere felt wonderful at night. My waiter was helpful in explaining which dishes were most authentic to their culture. I speak a bit Spanish but the dish I ordered was warm, full filing and sweet in taste. I just remember the Cacao beverage (without ice) hit my sweet tooth to the MAX. Will definitely bring my family along next time I visit. The big screen TVs were a plus too.

If you’re craving Nacatamale, come here! It’s so good and satisfied my craving. The cocoa drink is delicious! The service was excellent, everyone working was super friendly. Authentic Nicaraguan food!

Authentic Nicaraguan food (similar to Costa Rican food) We ordered simple empanada and tamales (huge) with Gunabana juice. The menu is extensive Very busy because it’s very good HUGE TAKE OUT orders as well

Delicious food. I'm vegetarian and some dishes are perfect for vegetarians too. My friend had a dish with meat and he said it was really well cooked with a very authentic Nicaraguan taste. The service was great too, very nice waitress with good attitude. I definitely going back really soon. Overall very pleased with this restaurant. 5 stars from me.

This place knows Nicaraguan food like when I was growing up as a child back home definitely will be back super service fresh ingredients highly recommend got to try it a must stop in L.A

Food was delicious!!! We drove out from Disneyland to try this little gem out. It had great reviews already on both Google maps and yelp. We got tue carne asada plate and the grilled pork as well, a nacatamale, quesillo, and Maduro con queso and cream. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some good authentic central American food.

The restaurant staff is very helpful and friendly.

Yummy. it was our 1st time and completely enjoyed our order

3/30/23: Had the nactamales plus a side of rice and beans and plantains. A bit pricy at $15 for all that but the nactamales is very good

The nacatamales were a standout, perfectly capturing the rich flavors of Nicaragua. The beef soup was a comforting and hearty choice, reminding me of a home-cooked meal. The authenticity of the food truly shone through, making me feel like I was experiencing a taste of Nicaragua right here. The warm and welcoming ambiance added to the overall experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a genuine taste of Nicaraguan food.

Delicious food and great service. The inside is clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is a bit shady but it is LA. Parking on the weekends is limited.

I am Nicaraguense and have been to Nicaragua several times throughout my life and eating here was like eating in Nicaragua! The plates were HUGE for very decent prices. I ordered the gallo pinto plate which comes with fried rice and beans, plantain chips, fried cheese and curtido for $7.99! The cacao (chocolate milk) was soooo good! They even have Nacatamales! These tamales are the best I have ever tried! They have bajo, milca, rosquillas and so many other Nica foods! I will definitely be back! Since we are from out of town, we are taking 10 Nacatamales back with us to Arizona! They are only $5 each and as the photo shows, 2 people can easily share it. Amazing Nicaraguense food!

Damn good!! Authentic Nicaraguan food just like mi abuelita used to make.

The food is very good nothing like something from Central America come up it has a similar taste to Cuban cuisine the gallo pintó has incredible flavor

All of the food here is amazing! Been coming for a while and can’t believe I haven’t left a review yet. The fritanga and carne asada are my favorite but today I had a chimichurri steak and my god it was soo flavorful and well seasoned. Portions are plentiful and their customer service is always super friendly! The waitress Ruth is a gem.

I got the carne asada lunch; Meat was tender and chewy, the fresh fried cheese is something I’ll never know how to live w/o again🤣 and all of the flavors were 🤌🏼. The gallo pinto (fried rice/beans) were a little dry but have good flavor. The platanos were also a lil dry. Overall though it’s fantastic home cooked style of restaurant. Now customer service? 1000/10. Everyone was professional but warm and kind. I ordered online and I had no wait when I picked it up. I went on a Sunday with lots of family traffic so it’s a lovely place to enjoy with your people. I will definitely eat here again!

The food was tasty and the drinks. I liked it. It's a must try ❤️🤗

The food was marvelous. The flavors where authentic and delicious. The portions were good for the price. This is payed back place. It’s in mid city on western and 20th. The outside does not look appealing at all but inside it’s nice and the customer service is excellent. You can go alone or with family and friends.

Amazing place to eat and the waitress was awesome refilling my coffee every time it got low.
