15 Ultimate Comfort Food Dishes to Stress Eat in Los Angeles - Eater LA

"You won’t find fideo on every Mexican restaurant menu across Los Angeles, but that’s okay — it just makes the trip to Colonia Publica in Whittier all the more special. Chef Ricardo Diaz is doing strong bowls of the home cooking favorite, a sort of Mexican take on ramen that includes noodles, meat, chicharrones, and whatever else you want to include." - Farley Elliott, Eater Staff

If you are someone who loves a good bowl of Fidello I guarantee you will not be disappointed when you come check this place out! We were able to get additions such as Avocado, a fried Egg, Queso Fresco, cilantro and Sour Cream to name a few. 10/10!

I love the tacos. My favorite are the pork belly and cauliflower tacos. They've got delicious sopa de fideo. You can customize it with your add ons. The service is great, too. They have tasty Micheladas and the cocktails are good too!

Had dinner there recently with my family and we were all pleased with the food and service. And the pricing was reasonable. We all agreed that we would be returning to try more of their dishes. We tried the Fideo, the Pork Belly Tacos, and the Mushroom Quesadilla. All were winners but the pork belly tacos were especially impressive.

First Off Customer Service Is Great, And Friendly. Went For Lunch. Got Myself A Torta De Asada Which I Didn't Take A Picture Of, But Is Really Good. Tacos De Papa, And Tostadas De Ceviche. Wait Time Is Fair With All This "Covid-19" Going On. I Definitely Recommend This Place.

Came the for the sopita de fideo you basically get to pick from a list of ingredients to add to it and it was yummy. They have creative miche options but the best one for me was the Roja.

The place was not busy at all it was our first time. My husband had the torta and potato tacos, the torta was very good, I ordered a watermelon and pineapple michilada. We also had 2 orders of the specialty dish Fideo Soup with a couple of toppings we enjoyed it. The Michelada was not as tasty as I thought the flavors of the fruit were bland. Over all the food was good but the service can improve, it took to get served, there were only a few people. So not sure why it took long. We had to wave down staff 2 times for salsa, and refill soda.

Small, quaint, fun restaurant. Very busy! Great service and great food & drink selection. We had the fideo soup and was it ever delicious! You can either have beef or vegetable broth. You also have the option of adding extras such as avocado, chorizo, chicken, jalepeno, cheese, cilantro, etc. Extras are individually priced. Only note, if you're use to eating long fideo you may be disappointed to see short fideo in the soup. If you've never had fideo, you gotta try it!

Did not disappoint once more. Brought babe because he was under the weather but also hung over and he loved the soup! For me it was the pork belly tacos and michelada flight! Very interesting flavors!
