Reviews
Both my vegetarian and non-vegetarian friends and family love the mushroom tacos. In fact, many of the meat eaters end up preferring the mushroom over the meat options. Yes, the mushroom tacos are that phenomenal.
The chips and guac are also great, and service is always quick and efficient. There’s plenty of seating, with both indoor and outdoor options, which I appreciate.
I’ve been visiting the Playa and Culver locations for several years and am never disappointed. A true neighborhood staple.
I got the achiote chicken taco and a pork conchita taco. The tacos are big, stuffed with goodness. Both tacos were delicious; full of flavor and fresh ingredients.
I would come back to try their spicy garlic shrimp taco and their beef birria taco.
Today I ordered the Achiote Chicken Bowl, and here’s how it was:
• Smell & Sound
Soft lounge music that fits the space perfectly.
You can hear people in the background, but they don’t distract. No strong food smells, just clean, airy vibes.
• Interior & Details
Solid wood tables, warm lighting, and beautiful natural-material sconces. Minimalist, but cozy in the best way.
• Presentation
Single-use but sustainable packaging: thick neutral-colored cardboard. Looks clean, stylish, and thoughtfully done.
• Flavor & Balance
The chicken is juicy with a smoky touch and a hint of spice.
The rice absorbs all the juices, pickled onions add acidity,
and the cheese + guacamole bring softness and a light salty finish. Everything works together perfectly.
• Nutrient Balance
Almost an ideal bowl: protein, healthy fats, carbs. But I’d love more veggies or greens for fiber and freshness.
• Portion & Price
I ate half and felt completely full.
Total: $18 with tea and tip.
• Service
The girl at the counter smiled, took my order quickly, and the bowl was ready in about 3 minutes.
• Final Thoughts & Customer Journey
A simple, smooth, and pleasant experience. A great lunch spot. Especially if LOQUI is close to where you live ☺️
– pork cochinata (very spicy)
– beef birria (a bit spicy)
– achiote chicken
– spicy garlic shrimp (a bit spicy)
Overall I like the shrimp most followed by the chicken. They are not as moist as beef or pork but I likes crisp and clean flavor complimented by shredded veggies. The other two meats are full of juice and can be greasy if you are not into fat.
The portion size is ok. $7 per taco is definitely in the expensive side but hey this is playa vista. The flavors are a modern take on the taco. If you are looking for legit down to earth traditional tacos, this place is not for you.
I liked their chicken plate best. Rice was good, beans were okay, tortillas were nice.
Their pork tasted too salty.
Their mushroom taco was too oily for my taste and seemed more like a wet quesadilla than a taco.
Their hot sauce however is five-stars: flavorful with a bite.
I couldn’t taste the beef in the shredded beef. A little overcooked and dry. It could have been any meat.
Unless I use my phone or walk to the very front of the register, there’s a small 8.5×11 piece of paper in a frame as the menu and that’s it. Not the biggest deal, they still get 5 stars from me, but every place can always improve.
Pros :
I tried both the corn and flour tortillas, both delicious. Flour tortillas are house-made apparently and they’re so good. The shredded pork was also really good. Not to mention it’s a pretty good portion size, I was actually full after one plate and one taco.
All the ingredients look like they’re good quality ingredients too. I also like that I can see them making everything from where I sat.
*It looks like a place where you just order at the register, get you food and sit down on your own. They actually bring the food to you after you order, and check on you throughout your meal. That’s pretty good service!
