La 27 Restaurante

Atmosphere was not super elegant, but was lively, with a few families dancing to live music, not sure how often they have live music, but the energy was full of life and joy and family. Seems like the kind of venue for small family parties. My Partner/BF ordered us a Fritanga a LA 27 to share (serving size is plenty unless you're very hungry, but we didn't even order sides or dessert). The meats were flavourful, the cheese a touch less flavor intense and textured than another place we tried (but that place the meats were dry and not very seasoned). The plantain chips were excellent. Crispy and juicey flavor. Our waitress was friendly, but didn't quite understand my question.

I love coming to this place but the today the food was mediocre and paying $14 for a crappy cacao drink is ridiculous. Don't think I will be coming again. So sad, since the food can be delicious but they have gone down. Gallo pinto was pale and flavorless.

The place is a little dated, and parking on the weekends can be a pain. Other than that, it’s pretty authentic. I got the fritanga and cacao. They had a musician, so it was kinda loud.

Is true !!! My family tell me like a week a go that this restaurant star lowing they standards was priced but food was good and was a big plates y good services so I have to see by my self and yea I order my favorite ones yuca frita and chicharrón also the famous naca tamales and yea unflavor tamal no crunchy yuca just three pises of meet services long face not special curtido passion fruit water nasty but same high prices .

Love this location. A little bit pricey, but worth it since it’s authentic and fresh. Best days to visit is when there is a performer

Of you like to experience Nicaragua's culture and food... This is the place!!! And every weekend live music. Come to Nicaragua, without actually going that far.

Excellent food! The best of the best in Nicaraguan food! Excellent customer service! Cleanliness! Good and healthy environment! Waitresses, cashiers, and cooks (chefs) are the best!

The best Nicaraguan food in town. 1st stop when i get in to LA

I first came here a few years ago during the holidays with my boyfriend because we wanted to pick up naca tamales--and we ended up staying for lunch. It was my very first experience with Nicaraguan food, and I was honestly blown away. The nacatamales were huge, incredibly flavorful, and so good that we took about 20 home with us. I'm half Mexican and will confidently say: I actually prefer these over Mexican tamales. That first visit set the bar high, and I'm happy to say it's stayed consistent. We came back again last month to do the same thing--nacatamales and lunch--and once again, everything was delicious. This time, I ordered the caldo de res, which was rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. My boyfriend ordered a plate with gallo pinto, and we each had a nacatamal while dining in. It was so much food--we were absolutely stuffed and even took some of the leftover caldo to go. For drinks, I always get the cacao, and my boyfriend gets the pitaya drink. Both are excellent--perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and you can really taste that they're made without artificial sweeteners. Everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere is warm and lively. There was a man playing the keyboard and singing, families dining together, and the place was pretty busy, which added to the charm. Every time we've come here, the service has been incredibly kind and welcoming. Beyond the food, this place genuinely makes me feel closer to my boyfriend's background and culture, and that means a lot to me. Parking hasn't been an issue, prices are very reasonable for the portions, and I truly can't say enough good things. Consistently great food, warm people, and an experience that feels both comforting and special. We'll absolutely keep coming back.

Best Nicaraguan restaurant in Los Angeles everything made Fresh your order. Best customer service ever been coming here for 15 years hands down the place to eat fresh Nicaraguan food

The place is like a comedor bringing the ambiance like back home. The service is ok so far but remember back home you gain the respect. I found traditional paints and clean place so far and not super picky about it(open mind needed). The food is amazing and it's up to you to speak about your own assertions. So far i cant compare this place like other ones that make you feel like a money making. I recommend it as well cuz even in different places employees are stress out, no way not our style. If you contribute to your surroundings you might find a pearl. !esta deaca!

La como da deliciosa y me sentí como estar en Managua! La cebada exquisita y las rosquillas que deleite! Les doy máximo número de estrellas

If you enjoy Nicaraguan food this is your spot to go to. Food is amazing its on price. And calm usually the ambiance they usually may put music.

Comida deliciosa excelente servicio estaban siempre al pendiente nos gustó mucho era nuestra primera vez visitándolos .

Do better!!! Treat your employees right with respect and dignity!!! Never coming to support your business. The food quality has gone down! You act like a dictator smh! I'm ashamed to ever have come to this restaurant more than 4 times. But I will NEVER come back and neither will 75 people in our family. The employees were great. They did all that they could. But the owner was a horrible person. He spoke down to staff in front of everyone. He belittled and berated his staff. I never post a bad review unless it is truly worthy and this one was well deserving. The place was overpacked and not kept clean. It lacked everything this place USED to be. The food was undercooked and gross. the owner didn't care. Esto va por experiencia propia, tal vez tus expectativas sean diferente a la mía, pero tengo una queja tremenda del Restaurante la 27 de los Angeles. Gerardo y yo somos del buen comer, nos encanta la buena atención, la higiene y somos bien fijones por que pagamos lo que consumimos. Nos damos gusto de ir a degustar de fancy restaurants a unos tacos de la Carranza y perros calientes después de un buen show en la calle. Hoy fuimos al Restaurante la 27, no había en donde sentarse, obviamente nos teníamos que esperar, yo le dije a unas de las muchachas que atienden ahí que parecía que la meza que estaba por la ventana estaban por irse, oh si me dijo... Resulta que se desocupo una meza y un señor de avanzada edad, cuando desocuparon la mesa, nos hizo de señas y empezó a limpiar la meza para que nos sentáramos. Después que nos sentamos, llegó la mecerá y nos dijo-oh no se pueden sentar aquí, y les dice el señor que nos limpio la mesa, si se pueden sentar. Y yo le dije el señor nos llamo y limpio la mesa y nos dijo que nos sentáramos aquí y yo con mi paciencia bien calma. -Es que traje unas personas que son dos y se quieren sentar aquí y les dice el señor si esta pareja es de dos también. Ahí como que me quede yo... Para no hacerles largo la historia, la sopa que yo pedí malísima, las verduras no estaban bien cocidas, no nos atendieron debidamente, yo pedí una orden de queso frito y en el menú decía un precio y cuando nos trajeron la cuenta era otro precio. Le reclame a la señora que nos trajo el bill, y dijo que todo esta caro no me puse a discutir con la señora por que obviamente ella no tiene la culpa (el de la culpa es el dueño del restaurante) que tiene que cambiar los precios del menú. El dueño del restaurante es un pedantante, gruñón. Que sigue con la mente retrógrada que trata mal a sus empleados creo que eso es lo más que me estresó, Que más bien de degustar un buen meal, me lleve un mal gusto. Llegamos a casa y tanto Gerardo como yo, con tanta pena de hacer esta experiencia pública nos fuimos directo al baño. Nos hizo daño tanto la comida, la atención, y de la manera estresante de como maniobra el dueño del restaurante a sus empleados. If I could give 0 stars I would. I'm taking my business and love for Nicaraguan food to all of the other worthy restaurants

Love there authentic food. Drove from Santa Clarita just to come here. Parking isn't that great but the food makes up for it.

Has been over 5 years since I've been there but was a great place I loved the environment and the fritanga was delicious.

If you're looking for some sabroso, good tasting Nica food, I recommend trying this place out. It's always worth my 1 hour and 30 min drive to come here at least one or twice a month. This place was introduced to me by my grandma, may she rest in peace. This place has always given me the warmth of her presence since it was her favorite place to eat a Nacatamal and plátano verdes! I use to always get the plátano verde plate served with falló pinto and sapicon, but now my favorite meat plate is Fritanga d la 27. Here's some images I will share. You hope enjoy once you decide to try it :)

this place is very expensive and food sucks portion very small,2 orders of Tamara's con queso and two drinks &65.00,it's a ripped off . I will never go back to this shit whole as long as live . Don't go there , this place is n worth it .

This place is beyond exceptional, the food is to die for. Where in California are you going to have a plate as Huge as this one at a price that is unbeatable and as authentic as this place. The food will have your mouth watering and I assure you, you will not be disappointed. Do yourself a favor and come try this place, if Nicaragüense food is what you are looking for, you will thank yourself for making this place your choice. Delicious!!! Oh and let's not forget my favorite waiter "Osman" he is quick, attentive, and provides excellent customer service. Love him!!!

Sopa borracha nicaragüense. It's good, it's different, it has a hard bread inside and a custard on top, it's good. Taste lo cinnamon. I like the ambience and service.

Love coming here with my dad so he feels like he's back in Nicaragua ! Very homey everyone's nice . It does get a bit packed every now and then but so worth the wait! The fritanga and picadillo are my favorites !!!

Amazing service, amazing food, love the culture that they provide! My whole family love this place, the ambiance is always spectacular. Grew up coming here and now my daughter has grown going there. Absolutely amazing place

Oh nooo La 27th health and quality of the food is really poor. I observed how the delivery boy went behind the counter and helped himself by fixing his own plate. He did not wash his hands and grabbed the carne asada without gloves. The lady cooking I saw her doing the same thing she crossed contaminated the food when she grabbed a fish without gloves and then she put her hands into the salad! Disgusting process. It seems chaotic in the little space. Owner is there but he would not listened to a constructive criticism. It's sad but I would not recommend this place. It's very pricey as well.

So good... friendly staff and just brings back memories eating my countrys delicious food!!! Im coming back!!

esta un pco escondido ellugar pero al entrar muy limpio el servivo muy bueno muy amables la comida me gusto mucho lo unico q si hace demasiado frio adentro asi que lleven su sueter pero le doy un 10/10 creo q es mi nuevo lugar favortio lo unico malo que me queda lejitos pero si me encanto el servico las meseras no son enfadosas son muy lindas

Best Nicaraguan food in California ! To my fellow nicaragüenses , if you have not been here You must ! This is not a fancy restaurant but the fritanga flavor is original

This used to be our go to for Nicaraguan food, everything down to the cheese they used, authentic. In recent visit, it's just not the same. Prices went up and quality changed, I mean, I would understand raising prices to keep your quality, but the plantains were rancid and the quesillo was not the same. The "authenticity" has been lost, sad to say, it no longer tastes like home. The server also didn't seem like she wanted to be there. I'm thankful for the business being around, as there are not a lot of Nicaraguan restaurants around, but it has lost its "authentic" flair. If you're looking for Nicaraguan inspired, this is still a decent place, I'm just sad in the change.

Mi familia y yo probamos algunos platillos dela comida Nicaragüense por primera vez y nos gusto mucho. Las porciones eran grandes, con un excelente sazón y sabor. Un buen servicio y buen ambiente familiar. Definitivamente regresaremos! Musica en vivo que puso el ambiente

Food hasn't been as good lately and the music as usual is way too loud. However, the nostalgia takes over and I usually end up having a good time. If you are looking for some overpriced, average Nicaraguan food with some average music, in a subpar location this is the spot.

Authentic delicious Nicaraguan food. Third time this week, and might be back for more. Food tastes homemade

Pésimo customer service, la muchacha desde que uno llega un recibimiento hostil como que cree que tiene corona, lamentablemente estamos en un lugar donde lo que les importa es que trabaje como animalitos y no importa la ética ni la amabilidad, les doy una estrella porque no me permite no dejar ni una... llegó un señor a recoger y la empleada altanera dice viene a traer, se les recuerda que cambio de país y debería de irse adaptando a las costumbres y lenguaje variado que hay en Estados Unidos y no puede venir q imponerse!!!

They have parking in the back which is excellent! The service is always great if you go in the weekend expect music if you're one of those that is bothered by noise lol , the food is delicious the mojarra frita estilo tipitapa is my moms go to order for the past 30 years (almost)

La comida no está mal. Pero el personal le falta entrenamiento cómo atender a los clientes

Food is sooo yummy and flavorful. Best Nicaragüense food around. The fried cheese squares are the best and everything is cooked to order. The plantain chips are made fresh.

DO NOT GO HERE! Not only are they dismissive and have terrible customer service it seems like they gave me someone's leftovers. $21 for this.. Should've went to little Caesar's if I was going to get ripped off like this..

Hemos estado viniendo a La 27 por años con mis papás pero ya la comida no es igual que antes ahora ordene por Uber una sopita de res y un nacatamal cuando recibí la comida guarde el nacatamal para cenar y me comí la sopa pero la sopa estaba más grasosa que usual, el elote seco como que estaba viejo, y me dieron tres pedacitos de carne el size de una moneda de dollar so no valió la pena gastar lo que gasté en la sopa. Me iba a comer el nacatamal ahorita i me salió rancio y con moho que asco ya es la última vez que comeremos/ ordenemos de aquí!

The 2 stars is solely for the experience here. Yes it is true what everyone says, - By far the worst customer service you'll find (slow service and/or inattentive) - The food is way over priced (28 bucks for a plate and a drink, what the what!!) - Parking is horrible (Street parking if you're lucky and shared parking with the Laundromat but they will close the gates on you if you leave the car past laundry hours) But for one reason or another I still come here. Their cacao drink is what hooked me although the past few times I've been here its was disappointing, food really is good, I will say that much but my options are slim when I have a craving for Nicaraguan food. The setting here is sort of mom/pop shop restaurant, not really fast food but not really a full blown restaurant.

I ordered food from this place two days ago. I had been fasting the day prior so this was the first time I had a meal. A few hours after eating my stomach started to feel funny. I thought maybe the food was just too heavy but then I started feeling nauseous and getting a headache. I didn't feel good the rest of the day. The very next day was horrible as I had terrible stomach cramps all day and night. I had to use the bathroom every 15 minutes and I was so nauseous. I didn't sleep that entire night and my Thanksgiving day was ruined as the pain didn't go away and I couldn't eat anything all day. Do not go to this place. Food quality is not what it used to be and it'll get you sick. I know for a fact this food got me sick.

The food was delicious it was my first time eating at la 27th restaurant. The only thing was customer service was bad. I got there a wearer took are order she was really nice great customer service! They another wearer brought are order incomplete! Then I ask for a box to go it took for ever for her to bringing and also to get a check it took for ever also to get are change!

Ya no es el mismo sazon de antes. La carne estaba seca y fria el gallo pinto muy grasoso y el queso nisiquiera bien frito. Nos preguntamos pk esta solo ahora tengo la respuesta. No pienso regresar a este lugar. Por mas de 10 anos estube comiendo aki pero la calidad de la comida ya no es lo mismo. Maneje 6 horas para comer este platillo.

I've been coming to this Nicaraguan restaurant for the longest and the food is very good like all Nicaraguan food but recently I went and yes I understand that everything has gone up in prices and I'm not against restaurants to raise up the prices but please serve the same amount of food you used to serve before and don't give less food for more money! That's all! ‍I'm willing to pay the price for good food but the amount is way less than before and it's not fair! That's all! Por favor dueños hagan algo para mejorar todos los malos comentarios acerca de su negocio que no es broma perder clientes porque su calidad ya sea de la comida o de servicio al cliente a bajado! ‍

For is supper Good here but for sure hey it to go . It's authentic feel with all that comes with it. It's a taco spot for nicas for sure. But good is amazing !

Muy deliciosos platos típicos,con excelente servicio y muy buena atención, yo siempre ordenó por teléfono todo y es super fácil y rápido todo

Authentic Nicaraguan food. Favorite place to come eat this type of food. Great service too. Definitely recommend.

Really delicious place to grab lunch on Pico. I had never had Nicaraguense food until I walked through their doors. Everything is affordable and generously portioned. If you're not accustomed like me I would look at their selection of classics from Nicaragua. I had a hard time deciding, but ultimately went with the Gallopinto Mixtas with carne asada. It was a heaping plate of rice, beans, meat, cubed cheese, fried plantains, maduros, and pickled cabbage slaw. So delicious. Try to get a bite with a little of every ingredient. The cheese had a nice creaminess while the carne was perfectly cooked with a juicy interior and flavorful crust on the edges. The heaping piles of plantains made me very happy. Their juices are also deliciously fresh. You can really taste the cantaloupe in their melon jugo. Come hungry and leave satisfied!

The most legit nica food in LA!!! Everything is on point! The only place I go to for Fritanga!

Right near the heart of LA this Nicaraguan restaurant has delicious authentic cuisine. I prefer the fritangas with pollo. Fried cheese is great. Plantain chips are great. The red beans and rice is the favorite. If you like Latin food you've gotta check this place out.

Este restaurante solia ser bueno. Hoy en dia los precios lo aumentaron por las nubes y la porciones de comida son como de sobras una orden a la 27 $19.99 2 pedacitos de carne asada 2 pedacitos de chancho 2 pedacitos de maduro 1 chorizo pequeno y dos miniaturas de queso y sin olvidar una cucharada y media con mucho aceite y recalentado . La milca increiblemente $5 cuando las 6 latas en laa marketas la venden por $5.99 basicamente a un dollar cada una .esta bien que le quieran ganar pero esto es un gran abuso y si no te das cuenta te cobran lo que no has consumido. El mejor restaurante que de verdad estan dando una porcion mas de lo que cobran super riquisimo todo y te sobra todabia para llevar y no se diga el famoso cacao .la milca menos d $2.50 100% recomendable SABOR NICARAGUENSE situado por la western. La 27 y portobanco no hacen una comparado a este restaurando ... Pierde clientes por unos cuanto dolares y baja calidad .

Came here after seeing this place on Central American food lists, and the good Yelp reviews. Found metered street parking nearby, and was confused upon entering. We thought you order at the counter and then sit, but turns out you find your own seats first and then someone comes to take your order. Let me say, service was S L O W. We were there for 2 hours and it drove me mad. Took forever for someone to come take our order, even after attempting to flag down servers. And waiting for the food to come out took the longest amount of time. I was getting so hangry. We wanted to try the cantaloupe juice, but they were out, so we got the passion fruit juice instead which was very good. Once our food arrived, turns out they got our order wrong. We ordered the slow cooked brisket but unfortunately they made a mistake and apologized, and we received more like a steak dish. The steak was flavorful but too tough to chew. We also decided not to fix our order because it took about an hour for the food to come out in the first place, we didn't want to be there any longer. We also placed a to-go order of one tamale to pick up on our way out, and they even got THAT order wrong too. Our server was honestly terrible. We also had the fried fish which was nothing to write home about. Otherwise though overall the food was good. I enjoyed the rice, cabbage, plantain chips, etc. Just wish the main proteins were a little better. I would recommend trying this place but I wouldn't frequent here.

Please treat yourself to some authentic Nicaraguan food here at 'La 27th Restaurante Nicaragua' All the staff are very friendly and the vibe here is out of this world. You don't get this vibe and ambiance anywhere else. There is a band that plays music while you are dining. It's packed in here and everyone is having a great time, a lot of families and all around good vibes. We had the Fritango because a friend of ours recommended it. Portions are freaking HUGE so keep that in mind. You definitely get your money's worth. We also had skewers and a Nicaraguan Tamale aka Nacatamales. There was a lady in there that made our experience that much more pleasant, her name is Laura. Super kind soul and very friendly. She was super hospitable and had great energy to her. Definitely had a great first experience eating Nicaraguans food and we will be back

So worth the trip for me it's a 45 minute drive but worth every minute! They even have Milka! Woo hoo. If you crave good Nicaraguan food, this is the place.

I have been coming here for years. The food tastes good but sadly it has become overpriced! They are even charging the to-go containers! I have never been charged for a to-go container at any other restaurant.

nacatamales no los envuelven en hojas de plátano sino en papel espelamado, k pasa señores?

Omg!! Delicious food! Had some major cravings! I was so homesick from my Miami town. LA is cool but more accessibility to some good Nicaraguan food fritanga is the best. Carne's Asada plate was so good! By the way, "un poquito de más carne," please. Fried cheese to die for! I'm not a doctor or nutritionist- though eat cautiously!! It's worth the price!! No food pictures sorry that's how good it was!! Though that cabbage (repollo curtido) salad is on point!

We found parking around the corner at the laundromat and walked around to find this nondescript, hole in the wall. The decor is so over the top that it looks like an authentic Nicaragua home . We asked the waiter for some recommendations and got a cacao drink, reminiscent of an horchata, and liked it so much we then ordered a second one. The dinner recommendation we got was the Fritanga a La 27th, we shared since it was a big plate. Three meats, with plenty of plantain chips and soft plantains as well. The beans and rice come mixed called Gallopinto, and there is a picked onion side that you can sprinkle on to add flavor. The prices are high but you do get a lot of food for it. I would recommend this place for authentic Nicaragüense dishes.

La mejor comida NicA que he probado hasta el momento. Recomiendo este restaurante muchísimos!
