A Tí

I don't believe in leaving negative or 1 star reviews for small businesses. It's so pretentious and it undermines all the hard work the owners put into this restaurant. I'd love to see this place thrive!Here's my honest review in hopes that the stakeholders will see and make necessary improvements: My wife and I have had A Tí bookmarked for a while and decided to make it our Valentine's dinner last night. The highlights:1. The staff and service were impeccable. We were immediately seated when we arrived. Everyone was really, genuinely friendly and each of them were very attentive. 2. We ordered both the alcoholic and non-alcoholic agua frescas. They were DELICIOUS! The hint of cinnamon really gave them an unexpected edge. Note: One thing to keep in mind is that they don't have a full bar, the cocktails are batched and don't allow for substitutions. 3. The tuna tostada was incredible! Super flavorful. We loved it. 4. The fried quail was our favorite, hands down. The sauce that accompanied it was great and the pickles...chef's kiss! The low points:1. The chips for our guacamole were cold and a little stale. Not serving them freshly fried and warm was a miss. 2. Similarly the chicharrones, while flavorful, were served cold and the quality equivalent of bagged pork rinds that you'd find at a grocery store. 3. The fish tacos had little flavor and no texture. 4. The biggest disappointment was the lamb neck birria. Especially given the price point. While the accompanying quesadillas were good (the crispy cheese was a nice touch) and the lamb neck was braised well, it had zero flavor or punch. At all. No salt, no spices, no chilies. Nothing. It gave nothing. The birria itself was watered down and tasted like a light chili oil at best. I would love to come back here at some point and continue to support. Please do some very necessary quality control.

The service was great. The ambiance of the place was dim lit and pretty. 1.Favorite on the menu was the tuna tostada. 2.Then it was duck mole.3.Scallops were refreshing with mint and cucumbers.4.The lamb was beautiful too but I do wish they served is this dish last because it was so heavy. 5. Chicharrón was good but I would not order this again. If you have a drink it would pair nicely like a bar snack.Overall great experience. Would come back again

Food 5/5: wow, when I say each dish hit, each dish HIT. From appetizers to the main dish, wow, we were left speechless. Meat very tender, great seasoning, loved their tuna tostada, wow. Duck meat was essentially melting in my mouth.Service 5/5: if I can give 10 I would. Great service!Ambiance 5/5: little cozy spot, good to hang w friends and date nights!

Amazing food and ambiance. This place is quite small but has a very cozy vibe to it. Easy parking out front. Great margaritas! I didn't know I could like sweet potato tacos this much but it's was so delicious! The duck main dish was also delicious but very heavy so it'd be a great dish to share. Staffs were attentive and very helpful on the menu.

A Tí is a vacation for your mouth. There is great attention to detail from the texture of the tortillas, the moistness of the duck and the spice subtle but influential. But the great irony of Mexican food is a cheap little mom and pop place would probably still be better. If you're a foody and see cooking as almost an art form this is a good spot.

Loved this spot so much and very much hope it'll stick around permanently. Popped up in the Kushiba spot so quickly that there is still a Kushiba sign and decor up, but don't be confused. First off -- there's a parking lot. Amazing. Tiny space inside and a few tables outside. We sat outside.Service was kind and friendly and pointed us in the direction of a few recommendations. We took a bunch, and ended up ordering the tuna tostada, all of the tacos, the prawns, and the duck mole. Everything was incredible, and the only dish I would probably skip in the future would be the prawns. Not because they weren't good -- they were -- but everything else was at such a level above. The tuna tostada was topped with the most delicious salsa negra and we immediately wished we had ordered two. Love how inventive this place is and very much hope it sticks around.

Been following Chef Andrew for years at his various pop ups and his food just gets better and better!! You can really feel and taste his love for LA poured into every dish. The combination of flavors and textures are unreal. My go-to's at A Ti are always the duck mole, tuna tostada, Al pastor tacos, crispy beef tacos, and sweet potato tacos. But basically everything on the menu is superb. The yuzu inspired margarita is also delicious! I don't usually revisit restaurants but I literally keep coming back and bringing new friends because it's THAT good. There's a reason it's getting such great reviews in the food world, too. I even decided to do my birthday dinner with 8 of my closest friends and they were so accommodating with a little set menu that made everything super easy. I had the best time! There's a convenient small parking lot attached and I heard they're opening for lunch soon. If you haven't gone yet, go taste for yourself!!

I was fortunate to get tickets to their special dinner with Biite - a prix fixe meal featuring fresh seafood. A great new space tucked away in a strip mall along Sunset. I sat by myself at the bar and the bartender was very attentive, refilling my glass frequently and all my food came out promptly. Since they have a full bar they make a solid paloma! I didn't get much plum flavor from it but really appreciated the saltiness. The first course was a pair of tostada. The salmon was delicious and creamy but the scallop was definitely the star. Up next was a pair of tacos. The mole was complex and the sweet potato was nicely balanced. Wrapped up with a blue corn tortilla choco taco. I wish it was mad with slightly better ingredients. But the presentation was impressive and it was a nice end to a great meal. I'm excited to come back and bring friends.

Make sure you have the bluefin tostada! What an unexpected blend of flavors that explode in in your mouth. This restaurant showed up so quickly that it still has the vibes of the Japanese restaurant that came before it. I love this because it keeps some of the charm of its pop-up days. Also a restaurant in LA with a free parking lot??? there's definitely seating outside if you wanna bring your pup. And don't miss the well curated cocktails, or the wine less that includes some real gems from Valle de Guadalupe.

A cute intimate small restaurant with great service. The tuna tostada is 100/10! I love the salsa and a hint of mint they use in most of their dishes, it is a unique flavor. The duck mole is another recommended dish, I don't usually eat or like duck but I have it a try. The duck was not gamey at all, it was delicious, tender fall of the bone meat. Don't expect the mole to be authentic Mexican mole, it is still very good just more chocolatey than I'm personally used too but went great with the duck. Portions are small, so prepare to order a few dishes and have a few bites sharing to be able to try the most. Things I personally wasn't a fan of were the tacos were heavy on the sour cream masking the flavor of all of the tacos.
