The 8 Best Spots For Pozole In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"You can eat El Dorado’s pozole rojo in their bare-bones strip mall dining room, but why do that when Hansen Dam Recreation Area is right across the street? (Soup picnics are totally a thing, not a term we just invented). This Sinaloense spot in Lake View Terrace has a big menu of breakfast dishes, ceviche, and platters of meat, but for a solo winter lunch, get the pozole rojo with handmade tortillas. The hearty broth is noticeably smoky, and the pork falls off the bone with one prod of the spoon. We also like that each order comes with a neatly packaged set of garnishes, including cabbage, radish, limes, onion and cilantro, oregano, and roasted chile powder." - sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park

El Dorado Sinaloense - Review - San Fernando - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"You can eat El Dorado’s pozole rojo in their bare-bones strip mall dining room, but why do that when Hansen Dam Recreation Area is right across the street? (Soup picnics are totally a thing, not a term we just invented). This Sinaloense spot in Pacoima has a big menu of breakfast dishes, ceviche, and platters of meat, but for a solo winter lunch, get the pozole with handmade tortillas. The murky red broth is salty and smoky, and the pork is so tender it falls off the bone with one flick of the spoon. It’s fantastic as is, but layering on the garnishes like oregano, lime, and their extra-spicy roasted chile powder takes it to the next level. And so will the views of the dam." - Brant Cox

Staff seemed friendly but food wasn’t good. I ordered the shrimp with garlic and it was loaded with garlic and the shrimp was overcooked and had a nasty fishy taste. Do not recommend their seafood.

I've been here a couple times and the service along with the food is always good BUT yesterday I was so hungry I ordered 2 burritos for me and someone else & I paid over $30 and when I got home I realized the burritos were SO SMALL. They barely gave me any salsa. I pay $8 at a vendor and get 3x the size of the burrito so I won't be coming here anymore since they're obviously overcharging and their wasn't much meat or much of anything inside my burrito. Puro tortilla.

I am extremely disappointed in this place. I honestly believed it was the same chain/owner from the restaurant out in H.P. but after ordering from here I fully doubt it. Their food with the exception of the mariscos, is either expired, gone bad, lacks flavor, etc. When I found out about this place I was excited because my family and I weren't going to have to drive out to H.P. any longer but Boy was I wrong. I ordered two dozen tamales last weekend (40 dollars a dozen, I paid 86 for 2 dozen) thinking they were going to be just like the ones from El Sinaloense in H.P. but these tamales ARE NOTHING like those. They tasted old and stored, frozen for sure. The masa was DRY, the filling was DRY and tastless, just disappointed all around and bummed because it's not what I expected. As it turns out, we will continue driving to H.P. I wish it wasn't the case but sadly it is.

I absolutely Love this place .. its really good , I come here often , I have a restricted medical diet and they are very accommodating towards me and always polite. You know how sometimes you go to a place and u get the sense they are mad cause u asked it a certain way yeah that doesn't happen here . It's always pretty busy its not a big place kind of a hole in the wall spot but inside is modern and clean and you'll really enjoy the food

A good place to come and get some seafood and traditional Sinaloaense food. The frijoles puercos are bomb. The seafood options are there and good as well, they even have hand made tortillas.

Weak food! Had some camarones a la diabla, the rice was bad, the whole plate smells nasty! First and last day! What a waste of Money! Spend like $70 dollars just to not eat the food…

The quesadillas de marlin are phenomenal; smoky and well seasoned. And the barbacoa with pasta verde and beans is next level. 10/10!

Refreshing Horchata and bean dip to start off lunch Fried spare rib in a great red sauce was tasty and picked clean to the bones Handmade tortillas was a great complement to the spicy dishes Moderately troublesome parking in the strip center Cheerful service

SO delicious and authentic! We didn't even order anything fancy, but even the bean dip that comes with their chips and the meatless burrito con papas y huevos was REALLY good. Haven't been this impressed in a while with Mexican cuisine when not about the portion sizes, but rather the quality. Everything tasted fresh, made to order, and best of all, tender! Sometimes I feel the meats get overlooked when buried in a taco with salsas, but not here! Ate it on its own and was juicy! Thanks and we will be back again! We were greeted very well by the lady, and by the simple yet meaningful decor. Go Tomateros!

Clean restaurant and friendly customer service. Food was made to order and was delicious. Authentic Mexican food. We had posole with homemade tortillas, torta de carne asada, enchiladas verdes and burrito de carne asada. Everything tasted delicious and recommend it.

We (a party of 2) came here on a Monday afternoon and it was not busy, we were welcomed & seated right away. Environment has nice art, music playing, and clean. Staff were friendly & attentive, they were also bi-lingual for those who are non-Spanish speakers. I had the pozole and it was sooooo delicious and had good flavor, it was a good portion as well, it came with tostadas and limes, although I will say the limes were a bit dry and hard to squeeze but the pozole was yummy. We both really enjoyed our food, service, and overall experience. I would definitely come back!

I've been here twice. Once for dinner and once for breakfast. Did not disappoint. Mad that it took me so long to stop in. The fish tacos are bomb and HUGE. I preferred the fish taco over the shrimp. Chorizo and egg plate was amazing. I will be going back for breakfast on a regular basis. .

I've been to El Sinaloense in Huntington Park and Paramount many times love the food Puro Culichi, so when I heard they recently opened up a new location I had to come check them out https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-sinaloense-sfv-lake-view-terrace?select=uhQChe9CenykIZdLN1X6OA I hate to do this but Pancho always keeps it real, a year and a half later we are still feeling the effects of Covid especially in the Restaurants, you can drive around town and see "We're Hiring" signs posted in most restaurants, they are operating short handed which is affecting food quality and service, not to mention prices to be on the rise, while my food was good here at El Sinaloense SFV it took WAY TOO LONG!! No Chips and Salsa here it's Chips and Beans https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-sinaloense-sfv-lake-view-terrace?select=uD_Hv4wg55UFDJMHfmNCHA Camarones Al Mojo ($14.99) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-sinaloense-sfv-lake-view-terrace?select=fKQJxmUbqQzBBacg7_cNmA Shrimp sauteed in garlic and butter, Rice, Beans and salad. Nice size shrimp https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-sinaloense-sfv-lake-view-terrace?select=F45DI6eMCQh3pEjhfSiAAw beautifully cooked and loaded with flavor. Rice was good Beans https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-sinaloense-sfv-lake-view-terrace?select=FTzguGp9ym0QvXma8Xvnig were very good, and they give you extra garlic butter https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-sinaloense-sfv-lake-view-terrace?select=ir2zDzYxB0gwvWSi7vIgcw 5-Stars Asado Sinaloense ($14.99) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-sinaloense-sfv-lake-view-terrace?select=Yo1laK9Ei2OSSQ-e-xa0TQ Beef and Potato's cut into cubes topped with Shredded Lettuce, Sliced Cucumbers, Pickled Red Onions and topped with Cheese and a side of Beans. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-sinaloense-sfv-lake-view-terrace?select=JPbM7Q5rBUJx7M9XDhbOsg the food was good, my question is portion vs price, it's about 2 street tacos worth of meat and potato under a pile of lettuce, so $14.99 really? I'd say more like a $9.99 dish to me. Food is great value is not! 3-Stars House made Corn Tortillas were very good https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-sinaloense-sfv-lake-view-terrace?select=4uEMlR50uRsSnrm0-SAV7w

This restaurant is tucked inside a strip mall. When you enter the ambiance looks nice but when it comes to the food that's a different story. The portions are mediocre and the food is super salty! For where's it's located the pricing is on the high side. Also, the prices on the menu don't match the pricing on your check! The service was ok but the server doesn't disclose that you will be paying for any add ons so beware!

Food is amazing. Waitress was always there when needed. Restaurant and restrooms are very clean. Plenty of parking in the shopping center.

Got delivery, was not disappointed! Ordered the tacos dorados, everything came on the side so when I got the food everything that needed to stay warm was warm and the condiments/toppings stayed fresh and on the side! Place is delish!!

Christina M.

First time trying food here. Placed order for lunch, food is definitely freshly made! Enchiladas are delicious, chicken was cooked and seasoned well, the beans (so fresh and yummy) I love spicy food and those chiles toreados estaban encabronados , they are so spicy and so delicious! I am not disappointed at all lol It Adds flavor to the food. Now, the agua chile negros are amazing! The shrimp is cooked, the onion and avocado are so fresh! And that juice is delicious!!! I honestly recommend this place! And I am definitely going there again!

The food was very good! Came here after visiting the cube with the kids. We are not from the area, but we saw it and decided to give it a try. Everything from the frijoles, empanadas de Camerones were very delicious. It seems as if everything was made fresh. It was like if we went to go eat to sinaloa. The only downfall is that they don't have beer, and my hubby and I were craving on for the hot day.

#Sorrynotsorry, I got the ceviche en salsa negra with the cooked shrimp and honestly was not the greatest, taste was to bland and cucumber seemed old. Maybe it was just this dish but definitely not for me.
