My family has been eating at La Ballona's for over 30 years! I grew up on it, and no other Mexican Food can ever compare!!!!! Their chips, salsa, & ground beef tacos are the best. I love their dinner salad, with house dressing, but the albondigas soup is yummy too!!! Someone previously mentioned that their food is frozen or out of a can. Definately not true. Their food is always fresh and deliciously greasy! This is what True Mexican food is. I will agree that the service can be slow at times, but the ladies will be friendly and try to help you as much as possible.
Pros: THE FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cons: Service can be slow at times

Having read rave reviews about the brunch at this place, I'd always wanted to try it, especially since I live close by. When they started serving dinner, I thought this would be the ideal time to see whether their food was as good as touted, so I took my mother out to dinner. Definitely a good choice. I had the special of the day (a very rich, garlicky shrimp scampi over gnocchi, which was both unique and delicious) and my mother had the smoked salmon crepe, which she also enjoyed. The bread and beautifully arranged side salad were excellent and the piece de resistance was the dessert crepe, a huge strawberry-banana-nutella concoction. In addition to the yummy food, the service was very attentive and friendly (for you single ladies out there, the waiter is definitely eye candy, with an accent to die for) and the decor very cute. Another plus is that it's very easy to find and there is no shortage of parking on nearby side streets. Definitely a winner! (On a related note, Cafe Laurent sells bread at the Mar Vista farmer's market on Sundays -- the carrot-raisin-nut bread is out of this world, as is the hazelnut-raisin.)
Pros: Terrific food, easy parking nearby

Great Cuban food in a good atmosphere at great prices. Flexible with their menu - I asked for no beans and they replaced it with more fried plantains. The food is very garlicky, so consider yourself warned.

I had a cocktail party at Gyenari last night with about 50 people. The owner, Jimmy was the most gracious, accommodating person I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. Our waitress was on top of it and worked her tail off with a smile on her face the whole time. The space is amazing and they treat you like royalty. Everyone from my party was very impressed. You guys made me look good! I highly recommend coming here and definitely having a party here.

I am new in town and I found Dave Frost Automotive on the Internet! I was really happy that I found him! My car had broken down and I needed it repaired as I had just started a new job. I was so happy it turned out be a small electrical problem that he had fixed in half a day. I made it to work on time and I am very grateful to Dave and his crew. In this day and age it is hard to find a place that you can trust and feel that you are getting a straight answer, when I met Dave I felt right away that I was getting a straight answer to my car needs without all the B.S. I usually get. This place has earned my business and I feel you should give him yours too.

I was recommended to Dave Frost Auto by a Friend that has used him for many years. I called him and made an appointment to have my car checked as I was hearing some unusual knocking noises and turning up my music until now had not made it go away or cured the problem. (I was hoping). When I arrived at D.F.A. I could see the shop was pretty busy, but Dave greeted me quickly and he went for a test drive with me, he felt it important that he hear the noise with me. We drove around the area and I pointed out the noise to him as we drove. I ended up having to leave the car as he informed me a further inspection on the lift was necessary! He told me I would get a call before 11am with an estimate for the repairs and an explanation of what was wrong. Sure enough I got a call at 10:30 am just like he said. Bad sway bar links was the diagnosis. He said it was going to cost $120.00 total and it would be ready at 4:00pm. Well guess what. At 3 pm it was ready and it cost $118.00. I love it, faster and cheaper. The car works great now I cant hear any noises, although I sort of miss the clunk clunk clunk. Dave Frost Automotive is great and I will certainly go back and I highly recommend them if you want straight talk, no run around and things explained to you in terms you can understand. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Pros: Excellent mechanic Fast , good prices
Cons: none

Well, I just thought that this place was the bee's! I am picky about what kind of sushi I will eat, only because I am a texture sensitive person, and this place was great! It was SUPER fresh, as far as the fish went. I ordered the Eel Special roll and the House roll, and they were both excellent. The waitress(es) were very sweet, prompt, and accurate as nothing was wrong and our food came out quickly. The only thing I laughed about was that sodas come in cans, and they had crazy music playing that made me giggle every five minutes. All in all, I loved this place and I will be returning!
PS: I think people that make reviews like the one before me were just having a bad day and probably were rude to everyone :) They were wonderful to us, and seemingly to everyone else in the restaurant.
Pros: Fresh fish, great parking, decent price.
Cons: Nada.

My friend and I went here for drinks and ordered pizza only to be informed that the bartender had not gotten our order in before the kitchen closed. The manager apologized and comped our next round of beers, which was very thoughtful. The music inside was a bit loud for my taste, but going out to the patio was an easy solution.
Pros: Good Patio
Cons: Loud Music

This is a great store if you’re a cook who is looking for kitchen supplies. It’s hard to walk out of this store without buying something. Amongst the items they sell here are cheeses and spices. The food here is delicious (though expensive) and the cafe has some pretty scrumptious things as well.You can also get basic stuff such as stockpots.

Although they consider themselves a restaurant supply store anyone who enjoys cooking shouldn't pass this store by. Not only so they have every product (and then some) for the kitchen but they carry specialty food and drink items as well. It is hard to walk through without finding something that you are convinced that you can no longer do without in the kitchen. This store is for both professional and home chefs.
