We absolutely love their carne asada fries though you really can't go wrong with anything else on the menu. Even for such a small place, the service is great and the food is quality.

West LA is known for countless vegan, organic and gluten free options and Tocaya is a perfect example of it. Whether you're a meat lover or prefer plant based meals - there's an option everyone.
If you want a refreshing but filling bowl, we recommend 'Street Corn en Fuego'.
If you need something a little bit more hearty, we would go with the 'Venice Beach'
If you want to try different sides while you're there, we recommend ordering the two taco plate that comes with two sides and a drink. (Hint: Try the guac with plantain chips)

You'll have to take off your shoes for this meal.... literally. While there are many sushi restaurants nearby, Irori offers a unique selection of fish and offers a traditional Japanese experience that you don't often find in West Los angeles. This place get's quite busy so I would recommend going for lunch on a weekday (as the prices are significantly cheaper) or making a reservation in advance.

Pupusas so good and so affordable that even our friends from El Salvador approve. If you've never tried one, we recommend either the Pork and Cheese or the Bean and Cheese.

Even after your first bite, you wouldn't even realize that everything on their menu is plant based (vegan). Don't let that scare you because they have one of the most delicious menus in West Hollywood - the wait to dine speaks for itself (hint: make a reservation)

This may be a bit of a drive from our place but no drive is ever too long for Korean BBQ. If you've never been, this is a place where you cook your own meat as much or as little as you want. A lot of first-timers enjoy Bulgolgi for the flavor but you'll never go wrong with multiple orders of Brisket.

Essentials
Everything in this plaza is a true representation of West LA living and this Whole Foods is a big reason why. Not only can you do your local grocery shopping, but if you're on the go, there are plenty of healthy and ready-to-eat meals to grab.
If you're ever in the mood for dessert, I recommend buying a case of Petit-Pot's vanilla rice pudding. You can find it at the back of the store in the refrigerated section (by the yogurts). You're welcome.
