Falafel Queen

In the area and looking for a great Falafel sandwich. I found this gem Falafel Queen. Sits on the corner of Pico and Redondo. Parking is street only, good luck. I got lucky and found parking on Redondo. Small dining area. Walked in and noticed nobody there. I was about to walk out when I was greeted by the employee on duty. Asked me if I had ever tried this place. No first time here and I had come for a Falafel sandwich. His eyes lit up and said "vas a probar el falafel sandwich mas chingon." I was like ok lay it on me. As he started to prepare it. I didn't get the gentleman's name he is from Oaxaca and he did make a chingon Falafel sandwich. It's hard to find places that stuff the pita bread with the ingredients. Great falafels cooked just right with all the ingredients stuffed into the pita and topped off with two potato chips. Nice touch. If ever in the area and craving a Falafel sandwich try the Falafel Queen it's chingona.

Family had a hankering for falafel so I let Yelp find me a spot nearby...which was the Falafel Queen. Small innocuous spot, no frills but clean - this place is made for "to go." Food was pretty good for the price, but not exceptional. 3.75/5 stars. I could come back.

I stopped by Falafel Queen today and had the Steak Shish Kabob sandwich--so good ! The owner, Benito, mentioned he's aiming to have the El Segundo location up and running by September.

I love supporting this neighborhood small business. The food has consistently been very very fresh and good. I'm vegetarian so I can't speak for the meats but my family has tried all their items and love everything. Super crispy and not dry falafels. And all the sides are so yummy. Prices are unbeatable and the owner/chef is so nice. It's a 1 man band kind of business it seems and please support smaller establishments!! (Also the last time I ate at Mizlala I ate part of bees and a stinger and the manager didn't care at all so I'm never going back).

Little spot at the corner, no frills but has a few tables for dining in. Parking at meter or in the neighborhood on Redondo. You can build your own sandwich. The bread is thin and delicious but won't hold up for a long time so plan to eat the sandwich soon. I haven't tried anything but the chicken kabob sandwich, but plan to try more.

Formally the Falafel King in Westwood. New owner wanted to keep the name but original owner wouldn't allow it. Falafels are still some of the best around. Everything is basically the same as Falafel King so if you're in the vicinity and in the mood for falafels, give it a try.

Doesn't look like much from the outside but the food is just good. The sides are not just after thoughts like some other Mediterranean places. It is tasty. Great hot sauce. I'm a fan. Nice work!

Best Falafel in LA hands down. Plus great and friendly customer service. Try the tahini and the hot sauce!

If you remember the Falafel King spots in Westwood this is one of the cooks that used to work there that owns it.Space is small with a few tables inside and not much outside as it is a corner spot. So this is more of a "grab and go" spot The food, is fresh to order and is tasty. What I ordered was the combo salad which comes with five sides and 4 falafel and a pita bread. Red hot sauce that will put hair on your chest!Although it's a small space the food is fresh and the service right from the owner/chef/cashier can't be beat.Recommend it highly!! Also the owner is Oaxacan!!

I had a falafel sandwich and it was delicious!!!!! Just like the Falafel King that was in Westwood and closed. I only gave it a 4 because the ambiance is very, very casual and parking is iffy but I managed to park right in front and I was only picking up.
