I met my friend at Chulita West Adams yesterday. It was my first time at this restaurant but it definitely won't be my last. First of all it is super clean and cute; It's bright and open and airy with lovely decor. There seemed to be only one person working the entire floor while we were there but it was fine because it wasn't very busy we went at mid afternoon. So he was pretty busy but he was still attentive and friendly and gave us very nice service. The food was delicious. And they have a very veggie/vegan friendly menu, which I need because I'm a vegetarian. I got Chilaquiles because I always have to get Chilaquiles if they are on the menu. They cooked my eggs the way I asked (scrambled extra hard nothing wet), the sauce was flavorful the chips tasted fresh like they were homemade, delicious. I also got a side of the fried potatoes and while the homemade ketchup was kind of weird tasting the potatoes themselves were delish. My friend got two tacos; a cauliflower "Carne Asada" and the steak taco. They were both good but she said the steak taco was fab.Fabulous lunch experience and I will be back.

Been here a few times - also been to the Venice location. Prefer this location as parking isn't as challenging. And meat is served here! See pics. Anyway, already started with parking. No meters. Street parking. The times I've visited, was for early dinners so parking wasn't an issue. I can't speak for later in the day or on the weekends. Good luck. Each time, I've sat at the bar. Service was excellent each time. Pretty quiet when I've been - but sitting at the bar gives you the advantage of having someone right in front of you. So, even if it was busy and packed, getting the bartender's attention would be easy. They've been attentive. Friendly and nice. As for the food - pics don't do the food justice. I like it enough to have been a few times. Food has flavor and the portion sizes are deceiving. Doesn't look like much but I've left stuffed each time. The drinks are stiff but also balanced. Not just all alcohol. I like Chulitas. The location. The vibe. The food. The Service. I'll definitely be back for more.

Cute spot in Adams district. I wanted to grab drinks with friends that live nearby this up, and coming area. I walked in and the restaurant was bright with natural light, well-decorated and clean. Ample street parking which is a huge plus for me. The entire menu looked delicious and it was tough to make a choice. I ordered chilaquiles with steak, as well as fish tacos. I just couldn't pick one. Great flavor with a kick! The presentation of the food was great. Enjoyed some tasty hibiscus margaritas. Strong but a little pricey. This place can get expensive as the drinks are $18 each for the margaritas. But if you want good food and a good atmosphere it is worth it. One thing I did not know is that this restaurant is catered to those who are vegan. I ordered the churros and yeah that was a no-go. At first bite, I couldn't place the taste and the texture was off. Then it was explained they were vegan and those who are vegan love them. They are not your Disney or typical churros, so just a heads up.The staff were great and attentive and I truly enjoyed the friendly vibes. I will be keeping this place on the list of go-to's.

I love this quiet, relaxed and friendly restaurant. You would not know it was a restaurant due to lack of signage. When you walk in, you are transported to another place. The aesthetic & decor are serene and draped in whites and creams.I've been here about 3 times and enjoy the unique space and menu. I've had their chicken tinga and steak tacos. I prefer chicken but both are good. My cousin had the cactus tacos and loved that. The beans are good, the rice was OK to me. A previous visit, i tried the vegan nachos, those were good as well. I ordered an ipa but they have many drinks with mezcal as well. I believe the gentleman's name is Rafael at the bar. Super nice and approachable

Walked by this gorgeous spot on Rose before and was super excited to finally try it out. Aesthetically Chulita is a vibe, but the food flavor was just good. I wasn't overly wowed by the Chulita Bowl however the Carne dish was pretty good. We also ordered the vegan queso which was a little disappointing.

I'd give this restaurant a solid 4/5 stars. I ordered 3 different tacos (fish, barbacoa, and steam) and shared chips/guac/salsa and some of the vegan queso with my friends. Restaurants aesthetic was super cute and there's nearby street parking along with a valet service. Service was pretty good overall. Great spot for someone looking for vegan options but I wouldn't rate this in my top 10 Mexican restaurants in LA.

Cute Mexican resto right at the heart of West Adams! I was torn between their West Adams or Venice location, but ended up picking the first considering parking, which apparently wasn't that different. The West Adams one surely was more my kind of vibe though, looking elevated casual. Plenty of attendants who were super responsive that they literally checked on us every few minutes, making sure we got what we needed. We shared their grilled corn and it did came as great opening with rich seasoning. I was surprised that the dishes came in bigger size than I guessed, making the price tag totally worth. 2 tacos literally got me stuffed. I went for Barbacoa (beef cheek), which was flawlessly juicy and tender; and the fish taco, which was equally impressive being flavorful and came with spicy kick. My friend got the pollo quesadilla as well as pollo taco and did love them, despite she thought it would be even better if she had more cheese on the quesadilla.We earlier thought of having the churros but post the main meals we had no more space in our belly so prolly next time!

Came here for dinner with my girls. What I love is the consistency in service and flavors. I have been here before and this visit didn't disappoint. Cocktails and food were tasty we split the guacamole, esquite, ceviche, and fundido plus we each got a taco and that was a lot. We were stuffed. We probably could have been ok with 3 shareables and a taco each but no decisions were regretted.

Chulita isn't super appealing on the outside, but once you walk in, the ambiance is quite nice and welcoming!We came in pretty late, about fifteen minutes before close on a Thursday. Yet they welcomed us in for dinner! The food and service were all excellent! I wasn't a fan of the mushroom taco (it had a sweet twist to it) but my companion loved it and took it to go lol also, the vegan queso is made with some sort of potato, so keep that in mind when considering the texture. We will definitely be back!
