the only place in LA with authentic elcairs. it's a MUST!!! all French staff
Great pastry selection and some authentic French breakfast bites.
Authentic French bakery, croissants are amazing and they serve breakfast all day on weekends, worth the drive.
Papaya salad is wonderfully fresh and authentic!
This is the most authentic, no frills Thai food I've ever had. The flavors of the curry noodles are just perfect.
Authentic Thai street food. No thrills but very tasty.
I had the Trifogli Del Fattore and it didn't let me down. I really appreciate that the pastas are made fresh by hand which adds to the authenticity and intimate setting.
Good service. Good food. Park at meters, if you can. Right in heart of DTLA, so parking can be hard. Nice spot for a date. Kind host.
This place is authentic, affordable, and has the best mole tacos I've maybe ever had. The only ones that come close came from a family in Tecate, Mexico, who home made something similar. Eat here!!!
Try the Tinga and Cochinita Pibil if you like spicy. Jamaica and Horchata are great too.
Get the sampler! They tell me they are BYOB until they get their alcohol permit.🍻
Authentic Indian Food!
Great ambience and food! Authentic (Channa Masala, Chicken Tikka Masala) and fusion (Spicy Lamb Burger, Chili Cheese Naan). Wish it was on the Westside.
Pork Belly and Tikka Poutine Fries. Thank me later. Don't forget the Cutting Chai!!
Over-hyped - hardly the #1 Italian restaurant in LA. Food is decent but not authentic. Rules are so inflexible they will not modify dishes even slightly. Space is well-designed, atmosphere is trendy.
The salumi appetizer was amazing! If you generally like salami, prosciutto, and cheeses you will love this dish.
There's heavy emphasis on house-cured meats, pizzas, and pastas, with unexpected and inspired flavors. The beverage program here, from cocktails to wine, is a hit, too. [Eater 38 Member]
Authentic Italian in a casual and quaint atmosphere. BYOB or have the on-call delivery service bring you a bottle of wine. Don’t miss their extra creamy take on Tiramisu for dessert! —Rachael
Nice & cozy authentic italian restaurant. Absolutely loved the carbonara; thick & creamy. You can bring your own wine, no corkage fee

The pistachio, olive oil and salted chocolate was to die for. Stellar service, quality gelato and friendly staff... What more could you want?
Best part: espresso to drink and gelato to eat. Make it a habit.
Located in the Spring Arcade Building (right by Guisados). As someone who is obsessed with ice cream Hazelnut & Dark Chocolate sea salt is the way to go. They also have coffee and pints to go as well.
I LOVE Sonoratown. The char grilled meat is full of flavor, the tortillas are authentic and beans are off the charts. Everything on the menu comes together perfectly. My absolute fave taco spot.
Everything from the bean and cheese to the grilled leek on the side is incredible
The shredded beef chivichanga will change your life. As a kid from the Sonoran desert, I’ve never heard of this small burrito. Will be going on a chivichanga excursionto Sonora very soon.
Tacos are delicious and authentic- cabeza and lengua are favorites
Love this place! Everything tastes amazing and it's super affordable. Their quesadillas are amazing! Must try. Oh and their tamales are some of the best 👍
Come early- this place is TJ on steroids.
The 5 roll combo I had was very delicious. I really enjoyed the fresh warm rice.
Just line up and wait for some seats to free up. Only thing on the menu is the delicious warm rice and crunchy hand rolls. Blue Crab and Lobster are my personal favorites. Going solo is great too.
Delicious and fresh hand rolls. Wait for a seat to open up, sit down and be amazed. Lobster, salmon and blue crab were my favorites.
Mint mojito iced coffee is so good. Small: $4, large: $5.
i'm usually very anti-brewed coffee but i love philz. tesora, philtered soul, and silken splendor are my favorites. iced or hot depending on the weather, plus the monkey bread warmed up. so happyyy.
A nice twist where the batistas are more personable and care more that you like you coffee or not. Very inviting. Mint Mojito is there go to pick.
Although, I still haven't found real Italian food in LA so far, I am pleased to taste good local burrata, and prosciutto di Parma (we cut it thinner though). 😉
An authentic old fashion restaurant, yet classic and stylish. True to Carbonara. Lovely atmosphere and best customer service.
In a rush, just eat at the bar. Great service with full menu. Pizzas are fantastic. Don't forget the macaroons.
New coffee and juice place on Spring St. right before it converges with Main St. Lots of seating both inside and out. Very friendly staff and good Verve coffee. I went with an Americano.
Cool atmosphere. A few outlets (some hidden underneath the long table). Wifi network is "Coffee & Juice" and password is "coffeeandjuice".
Great place to work from in downtown LA.
Great, cheap and authentic.
Absolute BEST Horchata I've ever had.
Open all night and they take cards. Cheapest and best late-night tacos downtown.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
