For DTLA location and its location, I put my trust in eating here. The staff is always friendly and they will make some specials of the day that really darn good. It's convienient to sit down and dine-in and not have to eat food off the street carts on dirty side-walks. If you are in this area (aka fashion district / santee alley), I recommend you and your family stop here to eat something good, clean and satisfying.

If you're in the area and you're craving fried fish, this place has an amazing fried fish. Probably the best mojarra frita I've eaten. This thing was huge, comes with rice and a small side salad. The flavor of this fish was amazing for me. It was seasoned so well inside and out. The fish was delightfully crunchy where it should be. The tortillas that come with fish are forgettable, but the salsas are good. I ordered for delivery and this restaurant has not disappointed at all for me so far. One of the better restaurants by Santee Alley that isn't hot dogs, or other smaller items.

We had a great time at Grandma’s Kitchen, a small business near Los Callejones. The waitress recommended some oysters served as an entree while the main course arrived. The oysters were cooked to perfection and accompanied by a delicious sauce. I’ve tried oysters in other places, but this one is one of the best. The sauce is a perfect blend of flavors and pairs well with the culichi-style sauce. I highly recommend taking a walk around the area. It’s a pleasant and clean atmosphere to be in, especially in Los Angeles area.

I went to Grandma’s Kitchen Kaffe recently and it was amazing! I usually hate fried fish, but theirs was so good—crispy, not greasy, and full of flavor. I had it with an ice-cold Coke and honestly, it hit the spot. The place feels super cozy, like eating at home, and the staff was really friendly. Definitely a spot I’ll go back to!

Do you like going to “ Los Callejones”? Are you looking for a place to sit down and eat some delicious food? Would you like to have a beer while your wife shops? This place has great service, fresh delicious food, cafe de la olla, agua frescas, cerveza and desserts. The ladies were very nice and made us feel welcomed. I will be coming back to try more food items and have some beers.
