"Hidden rooftop gem in HB! The food is always delicious and we love how dog friendly the restaurant and hotel are! Our favorite brunch dishes were the Chilaquiles (decent spice level) and the Breakfast Burrito (looks boring in pics but was filled with deliciousness)! They also validate parking for two hours."

Pollo Inka Express

★★★★☆ 3.7 (553) • $$

"Pollo Inka has been a family favorite for dinner for the longest time. My family loves Peruvian food and Pollo inka Express has been an amazing and fast spot to go pick up some delicious Peruvian delights. The way their chicken is marinated and cooked is mouth watering. Your Costco rotisserie chicken has nothing on Pollo Inkas! It pairs perfectly with their Aji green salsa which is a thick, green, delicious garlic based sauce. All of their sides are so delicious, we always get yucca frita, plantains, rice and beans. Not to mention their delicious green cilantro soup!!? Wash this all down with an Inca Kola --food coma, off to heaven shortly after. To me, Inca Kola tastes like bubblegum. I recommend trying it at least once. It's the 2 liter of bright yellow soda and you can find it here or at any latino supermarket. If you like sweets, you have to try their alfajores (little Peruvian caramel cookies) They're so soft and the best I've ever tried. I recently bought my mom some from this expensive place and they were so tiny and not as good as Pollo inkas!!!! Don't skip on these. Trust me. We will never stop craving Pollo inka and I will always highly recommend this location to anyone that's hungry and wants to try something different, with a short wait time and amazing service. Did I mention they have a drive thru??? This place is simply awesome!"

"Came here for the pupusas, and there is definitely a lot to pick from! The cheese is key, and it was on point! I had an Asada pupusa which is different than your usual add ons but it was great! They had international pupusas, so different add ins in the pupusa from that particular country which is a great idea! We'll definitely be coming back to try their full on breakfast plate. Great customer service as well."

"Taco prices are ~$7-10, but are justified by the portion sizes (basically 2 tacos in 1). The baja fish taco had 3 pretty big pieces of fish, so one taco alone was enough to have me full. Both the fish and gobernador tacos were flavorful, but the fish was a little salty--I wish there was more sauce to balance it out."

"We like to find hidden gems on Yelp and boy did we find one!This place is located on a busy street. There's street parking out front and a lot in the back. The actual restaurant is pretty small. Pretty much a hole in the wall kind of place. And aren't those the best though?! You walk in and have a seat. The owner will come take your order at your table. The menus are on each table and on a large overhead sign. We ordered the quesadilla and the chile relleno plates. Everything is served on disposable plates, but we don't mind that. Everything in the menu includes rice, pinto beans and a garnish of lettuce with tomatoes. That garnish is usually a staple at Mexican restaurants though. The Chile relleno was good. I generally don't order chile rellenos at restaurants (because that's something I prefer to be homemade) but I saw someone else having it and it looked appealing. It was a treat for the eyes and tummy! The star of the show was really the homemade tortillas de maíz. They were light, fluffy and yet crunchy. I don't like homemade tortillas that are so thick you can "sopiar" with them. Meaning you can't use them to scoop up your food. The owner is a sweet man who is very proud of his restaurant. He explained that he doesn't have hamburgers or chicken nuggets because he wanted it to be an authentic Mexican restaurant. He loves that he has regulars, but also gets tourists since he's so close to Disneyland. It's only about a mile away. He showed his excitement for being a part of food delivery services such as Grubhub. All in all we had a nice experience. The food was delicious, service was good and prices are reasonable. I will be back and hopefully become a regular!"

Cha Cha's Latin Kitchen

"I love Cha Cha's! We come here every so often and I pretty much always get the same thing - short ribs. They are so tender and flavorful. They have a bit of a kick to them. It's a good portion size too. Highly recommend.Another dish I really like is the three seafood enchiladas. I think it comes with crab, shrimp and one other thing (can't remember off the top of my head!). It's so good that I tried to recreate it at home but couldn't live up to Cha Cha's version.They have nice cocktails here too and a variety of seating options. There's indoor, patio and bar seating and they have heat lamps for when it's cold. It's a great mid- to nice-level Mexican/Latin restaurant and it's one of our regular rotations!"

"Oh my goodness. This is the only places where I could eat the beans because I don't really like beans. The portion was great and the food was really good! Probably one of the best Mexican restaurant I've had. However, the wait was soooo long. We had to flagged down our servers so many times and our food took about 30-40 minutes to come out even though there were only 3 tables at the time."

"Couldn't get enough of this restaurant that our family returned on Christmas day for lunch. We made a reservation and even though the policy is to have everybody present they let us in with two party members on the way, which was nice. The front desk was very kind and accommodate our needs promptly. Our server also had a superb service serving us the whole time. She was present throughout the meal and never had our drinks empty. Usually, due to music, the restaurant is pretty loud but this day, it was very quiet with soft music on the background so we were able to have a conversation among ourselves. The ambiance is always chic but with the Christmas decoration, it elevated the Christmas spirit.It was less dishes than we ordered last time but pretty much it was the same thing we ordered again because it was unforgettable. The only two different things we ordered were the lemonades and fish tacos and it was phenomenal. Each dish has amazing flavors and beautiful presentations that I recommend to everybody.Thank you for giving us a wonderful Christmas memory to me and my family!"

"Fantastic brunch spot with delicious food, great drinks, and affordable options! If you're also looking for a place with aesthetic good and good portions this is also the place to go! I definitely recommend. I got the classic egg benny and it was so good and filling! Plus the potatoes on the side were the best I have ever had. Flavored so well and perfectly cook (not dry or mushy). I also got the horchata latte which was good and only $5 for a large bottle. The only lackluster thing was the dutch baby. It's very pretty looking and freshly made (takes 25 mins to make from ordering) but tasted kind of flavorless. The inside is kind of small, but definitely still a vibe. I would definitely come back here to get more drinks and try other items!Note: parking lot is kind of small, but you can park on the main street for free."

"Oxtail! The Rabo Encendido (Sauteed Oxtail) is sooooo good! Lots of meat, it is tender, and just has a huge amount of flavor. Then you pair this with the chicken rice.... dang.... it just hits. The Pollo Asado is another great item to get. Empanadas were delicious. We tried the beef, chicken, and spinach. I personally love Spinach Empanadas, and this one did not disappoint. Halibut had great flavors, but was overcooked and dry. Scallops needed more garlic and flavors, it was still cold when it was served to us. Service was excellent and kind. For me, going forward... it is the Rabo Encendido (Sauteed Oxtail) dish. I would definitely come back for this item. Thank you Bella Cuba!"

Isla Cuban-Latín Kitchen & Rum Bar

★★★★★ 4.5 • $$

"Celebrated Valentine's Day the day after with the bf to avoid all the crowd and busyness of a Friday night Valentine's Day.Isla Cuba-Latin Kitchen & Run Bar is located in a small plaza with neighboring cafe and other restaurants. It seems to be centrally located within an industrial business are, trust your navigation!The restaurant is a wide open spaced with a tent outside if you wanted to dine outside but not totally in the elements. The vibes were fantastic, chandeliers hanging provided intimate mood lighting. Dark wood across the seating area, to the bar, and a large picture taking up a good portion of the wall in the back center.We arrived right at opening (4pm Sat), and there was only one other couple dining at the time. It definitely gets busier as time goes in so reservations are the way to go. Staff and waiter were very friendly, it was our first time so asked the waiter for recommendations on the starters. We went with the Papas Rellenas, which are similar to Portos potato balls, but I loved how Isla made them. Perfectly fried potato mash forming a thin crust. It was stuffed with deliciously seasoned ground beef, the perfect bite. The cilantro cream dipping sauce only added more flavor to this great starter. For the main entrees we went with the Lechon Asado (pork) and Rabo Encendido (oxtail). The Lechon while initially we didn't think had enough flavor, actually did the more you chewed the pork was marinated well and released more flavor (if that makes sense. It was also topped with a lot of grilled onions and rice. The Rabo Encendido was delicious. The oxtails were so tender and fall off the bone. The savory sauce it was stewed in was amazingly tomato-y. The rice for both dishes were nice and fluffy almost buttery. Both meals also came with caramelized plantains, sweet and minor crunchy from how they were cooked. They also start you off with complementary plantain chips with a garlic dipping sauce.The only minor thing was that as it seemed to get busier, the staff really didn't check up on us but again it wasn't an issue. I think I would've liked our waters refilled more instead of the once near the end of the meal, but that is also on us to get a waiters attention.Overall a great place for Cuban-Latin quisine."
