Mr.Tempo Cantina

Let me just start off with saying Laura is amazing host and will definitely be going back soon she is just amazing. I had a great time eating delicious food at Mr. Tempo. The waiters and waitresses were committed to great service and were very friendly. The atmosphere was awesome. Most importantly, every food and drink on your menu tasted great! I also recommend the party shots they are really good.

I wanted a quick lunch order during the day. They won’t take your order over the phone if you’re wanting to pick up / take out. So I had to place the order in person. The music is too loud to hear yourself think. I paid $9 + tip for a side of fries that was so small. Wish I had checked the order at the store.

The food was so delicious we had to come back 2 days in a row! We absolutely loved the birria tacos and drinks, and had the nicest server Maria! I definitely recommend you visit this restaurant.

What a super place for authentic and delicious Mexican food at reasonable cost with excellent service from very helpful and cheerful staff. The atmosphere is electric! 👌

10/10 in every category. I am so glad to have come across this place! They had good food, the service was absolutely phenomenal, their drink menu is outstanding, they have good music, they were welcoming from the moment we walked in. I had a wonderful time I tried many many of their drinks and they were all very good. Also going down to the bathroom was very cool as they have many photo opps and cute signs. I highly recommend this place if you want cool drinks and have a great time.

Best Mexican food I had. The crispy roasted pork was very good. Best crispy pork ever comparable to asian. Oyster was not fresh at all so don’t bother to order. Other than that everything was delicious.

This place is so much fun!! Super nice staff and service. Giant selection of food that tastes great, many different drinks to choose from. A vibrant colorful environment with fun music. Love being able to people watch on Hollywood Blvd. There’s a patio in the back and hallways of neon painted walls with a black light. I recommend checking it out, if you ever find yourself strolling along the blvd.

For a random Sunday vacation night In Hollywood, this place was over the top amazing! The atmosphere was somewhere between Avatar & Alice in Wonderland with something for everyone! A picture tells a thousand stories, so here are ours, enjoy yourself, life’s too short! Stop here if you’re in the city!

Came here with my fiancé and his coworkers before going to a comedy show at Dolby theatre. They have happy hour from open to 6pm. They also have two menus (food and drink menu) which both have many options to choose from. We were lucky to get the metered street parking but I will say there is not much street parking available as it's in a busy area. My fiancé and I started off with the hot Cheeto fries and the dirty fries. I haven't had hot Cheetos in a long time so I really enjoyed my fries. They were really good for a starter. Next my fiancé and I ordered a strawberry margarita and an old fashioned. Both drinks were delicious, old fashioned drinks usually taste really strong for me but his had a really good flavor. For our meal I got the fajitas with chicken and steak. The fajitas had a lot of juice on them and was a different flavor than I'm used to but really good. The chicken especially was so tasty. The steak pieces though were honestly really tiny, I almost thought they forgot to include the double meat. I'd say maybe make the chunks bigger like the chicken. I also enjoyed the rice and the little bits of cheese in the guac. I will say though that the beans were too salty for me. I didn't end up finishing them. My fiancé got the bone marrow burger (I think that's the name) and he looked like he enjoyed his meal. The plate itself had a nice presentation. Overall a nice little spot, depending on what you order it can get pricey. The happy hour deal was worth it though, we both got two drinks each. I think the fajitas were worth the price as well. Fries were also a great appetizer. I'd definitely come back for the happy hour deal!

I'm back and I wish I had a better experience. We were charged a $3 fee for this size of "extra sauce" I had ranch and my gf had spicy mayo Then when I said..oh! We didn't know, you should tell us it's an extra charge.. he..Manny said, it's happy hour and you are complaining? Wow! Umm it's principle and HH doesn't mean we get extra charged IMO Again, you have to advocate for yourself They also charged extra on the HH margarita without saying And we specifically asked

We wanted to grab a margarita for Cinco De Mayo and saw that they were having a few specials - margaritas $5, tequila shots $5. But normally they have happy hour all day from the opening to 6pm daily and Mon-Thur, they also have a late night happy our from 9-12am During the week day afternoon, it's pretty empty but I'm sure the evenings get much busier. The restaurant is HUGE and I love the decor. Even the long hall way walk down towards the restroom was beautiful. So vibrant. All our servers were fantastic - the hostess was adorable and sweet. The restaurant was empty so we got great service. Drinks were whatever. The margaritas were super sweet. I had the regular margarita which wasn't as sweet as my friends strawberry margarita but I wasn't a fan. They had taco specials and we enjoyed the chicken and beef but the pork wasn't all that great. The restaurant is a 5 min walk from the Ovation closer to Hollywood and Highland. I would definitely stop back if I'm in the area again.

i reeaally like tempo cantina, my favorite spot is the one located in the Santa Monica area. So when i saw that they had one in the Hollywood area my friend and i decided to come here since we were in the area. As we walked in, we were immediately greeted and seated at a table. our waitress was really nice and attentive. We were able to order our drinks first thing and tempo is one of the places that has the best drinks! i love the margarita flights, it's so good! After we placed our order to eat, while we were having our conversation waiting for our food, we kept getting interrupted by random sellers coming into the restaurant offering their products for us to buy or to take pictures. i understand it's a hustle, but getting interrupted 3x was starting to annoy me. that was the only negative thing I'd have to say. once our food arrived, it smelled and looked really good. my friend and i both got ourselves some tacos. i always get their birria tacos they are so good and fulfilling! we didn't wait that long for our food and besides the interruptions, we had a good time.

We went here on a date and were super excited. The food was good flavored but when I ordered a wet burrito I made it clear I don't like avocado. The waiter told me that the wet burrito was great and I went with it. The green sauce is avocado based and after literally just saying I didn't want any avocados it seemed like he shoulda said something. Then there is the girlfriends food... Birria Burrito. The birria burrito was pretty good had a off taste maybe cinnamon? Different but not bad! The SB Fries were gross!!! Raw garlic (I like garlic!) and soggy fries. We waited a LONG time for the bill until I eventually just got up to get it. Overall, it seems over priced and service is lacking despite very few patrons being there.

The drinks were good and very cheap considering it was happy hour. Monday is Margarita Mondays and Wednesdays is ladies night! So these are good days to go if you are trying to have a few drinks. The food was good too but just very small portions for the price. But other than that the service and vibe were pleasant! Will I go back ! Yes!

The shrimp ceviche and birria tacos were delicious!! The ambiance was such a great vibe! Services was nice. For sure coming back soon!

We did not dine in and only stopped by for a few drinks to kill time. We are familiar with the bar as we use to go often to the location in Downey. Fabian attended to us and was quick with our drinks and very friendly. He really wanted us to dine in we told him that we would give Downey another try in the future and he guaranteed service is much different. So.... future review coming soon.

Good spot for late night bites in Hollywood. The portions are enormous. I ordered a carne asada burrito and it came with fries. Which felt odd to get an order of fries as a side with a burrito. I took half my burrito and most of my fries home. The dipping sauces and ketchup that came with the food was odd, just did not work well. Plain ketchup and some good salsa would be been just fine. It took a while to get all our food and quite some time just to get to-go boxes and the check. Room for improvements. It's a vibrate feel in this restaurant, good for late night bites.

Great environment awesome pictures on the wall and the service is great. The food is amazing. Appreciate the Mexican vibe!!!

The service and food is excellent. The music was uncomfortably loud though. If they turn the music down a notch and it would be 5 stars. I'm not a fan of having to yell at the people at my table and the server. I went on a Saturday night and there was a DJ, but no one was dancing. Do people dance here?

Amelia and Ramón were great servers and the ambiance was just amazing for my cousins birthday celebration!! Food was amazing I got the birria chilaquiles and enjoyed every bite!

Fun food drinks clean on a Saturday morning not much people but the service was good and friendly

super expensive drinks but very good food (: - good vibes and kind waitresses. They got my order wrong, but it was still good.

Manuel our server really took care of us! Truly enjoyed the food and drinks! Will be back again!

I tried to eat at a non chain restaurant around Hollywood Blvd. This Mexican place popped up. I had this plate called Duo Ceviche and Birria Tacos. There was a language barrier because I asked for both and she only brought a ceviche. After :20 minute wait I asked about tacos and was told I never ordered them. So there, lost in translation. Food ok. Ceviche well presented. In the medley of ingredients, not much actual fish. Tacos well presented too. Plenty of beef inside. Place well located on the boulevard. They had summer olimpiad soccer match on TVs which was good. Did not have any alcohol but imagine it is a good place to grab a margarita.

Went here for the first time on Tuesday for happy hour. Drinks were strong and the food was good. We got asada nachos and ceviche. I want to note that it is very hard to find a restaurant that has good ceviche but theirs was pretty good!

Mr. Tempo's Cantina - A Latino Fiesta in the Heart of Hollywood! ¡Ay, Dios mío! This place is an absolute gem--a diamond in the rough --even with the whole Hollywood thing going on. But trust me, Mr. Tempo's Cantina is a VIBE. From the moment you walk in, the colors, the music, the lights--it's like stepping into a Mexican dream with a splash of modern swagger. Located in the historic Egyptian Theatre complex on Hollywood Blvd, this spot brings the party, the flavor, and the cultura! The walls? Vibrant! The music? Pure energy! The drinks? Ay ay ayyy... pure magic! And let's not forget our amazing waitress--she made us feel like VIPs from the second we sat down! Now, let's talk about the food We went all in, and every bite was a flavor explosion : Mexican-inspired sushi roll - Who knew sushi and Mexico could be best friends? Taco appetizers - Porque OBVIAMENTE. Delicious. Carne Asada plate - Juicy, tender, and full of that smoky grill flavor. Perfecto. Enchilada Trio - Three kinds of cheesy, saucy goodness. Can't pick a fave because they were all ! Margaritas - Fresh, strong, and dangerously good. And let's talk about that MASSIVE menu! So many things I still need to try! This place is an absolute must. If you're in Hollywood and you DON'T go, you're doing life wrong. We will 1000% be back for more comida, música, and drinks. GO. RIGHT. NOW.

Friendly and fast service! If I came again I'd get the Birria fries. Fun music and clean location.

Nice place to eat down the strip. The food we ordered were between happy hour so prices were reasonable. We got the street tacos which came with three (asada, pastor, chicken), mini birria which came with 4, and the shrimp ceviche. The food was good, I would have just preferred to have more tostadas that came with the ceviche. It's 2$ extra for more and that was fine with me. The drinks were also good. Service was great, she checked in on us frequently and was very nice.

I went here last night for my partners birthday and brought a couple friends. They were hosting a comedy show and I bought tickets online for $25 each. As soon as we got out of our Lyft there were two people outside who said "free comedy show!" We were like, wait, it's free because I paid $100 for tickets as a gift and the woman quickly changed her tone and said the show is not free and everyone needs to pay to come in. After we were seated she came over again and reassured me that it's not a free show and pretended to look at my tickets. The restaurant was pretty empty at that point and they kept bringing more people in who definitely did not buy tickets. I'm pretty sure we were the only people in there who paid for it and it felt very scammy. I am totally happy to support comedians, but I just really don't like that she lied to me about it. That being said, I don't really think it's the restaurants fault as much as the event hosts. I got the California burrito and it was huge and tasty and came with sweet potato fries. They had $5 margs all night and other good drink deals. Our waitress was also very nice! They brought us a big churro platter with ice cream for our birthday celebration. The design of the restaurant is also very unique - it looks like it might have been a church at some point but now there is neon spray paint all over the walls - very cool!

I really enjoyed it here! I was going to an event right next door at the Egyptian and was early so decided to grab some drinks! I ate beforehand so I didn't try the food but I definitely be going back! I had their Guava margarita and Pomegranate margarita on their happy hour menu! Both were so tasty, but the Guava drink was my favorite! They both had a tajin rim. On Happy Hour these margaritas are only $7! Such a deal. The staff was so nice and attentive and I really enjoyed the unique decor inside as well. I'll definitely be back!

Took a couple of clients to lunch. First appearances, place is very large, kind of dated, but comfortable. Waiter promptly took order and brought us drinks. Food delivery was semi- quick for 1 of my guests, myself and the other guest, not so much, mine came next, and which I must admit was very good, I got the crab tostada and the avocado salad. We had ordered the chorizo fundido which although I didn't try my guest said it was very good, I can tell you it was extremely cheesy. My salad was mixed greens with grilled avocado and candied nuts, it was tossed in a vinaigrette, again, liked it very much. The crab was marinated in lemon with onions and cilantro, served with a tostada, very tasty. My guest finally got his food, he ordered a sushi roll, he was not impressed. All in all, not a bad experience and I think I'd go back of the opportunity presents itself.

If you ask for water, they give you bottled water and charge you for it. It should be illegal to purposefully create plastic waste so that you can deceptively charge your customers more. That is heinous. It's 2025, give a shit about the planet. I see you, Jorge, replying back to reviews that are months old saying you'll review this business practice. Get to it. Knock it off. Disgusting.

Me and my friend came here for dinner and we had great service . Our server Manuel was great he made sure we had everything we needed and accommodated us when we needed something . We will come back again .

Good service Cold beer Good prices Awesome happy hour The best ambiance Hi fi to Fabian the manager Very attentive dude.. Thanks we appreciate

Jassiel was super hospitalble and friendly with my company crew! We came out on a last minute ass work gathering and he was so accommodating and friendly with our tired and overworked ass. Appreciate you buddy! Give him a raise and all the tips!

After the LA Pride we all went to eat here. Drinks are on the weak-side for the money. Food was alright but we are going to give this place another try outside of the LA Pride Parade crowd. Service was good considering how busy they were. Ambiance is fun and lively with music. NOTE: During the LA Pride Parade, Mr. Tempo allowed outside people to use their restrooms which is so rare these days. A BIG "appreciation goes out to the entire staff who openly allowed people to come in and use the restrooms. The experience alone is fantastic to see everything on the way to the restrooms with art, colors, neon and fun exciting things to look at. Mr. Tempo is a great experience and fun. Thanks again for their wonderful staff. Check this place out!

Service was quick n friendly Wide selection for taste in food even had vegan option The place is clean but the smells from the street swifts in from the breeze haha

Besty was the best! Very attentive, and made the vibe extra fun! Bring all your friends here for your next special celebration!

Food was amazing and especially the drinks ! Luisa was very helpful and brought us the food ASAP!

The food was amazing! The birria here is so great! We had Margarita flights, birria tacos, birria dirty fries, tacos, churros, & the butttttter dessert! Everything was AMAZING! The waiter made the whole service even better. VIRI was very attentive and fast, always checking in with us.

Had the shrimp tacos Ensenada style, so good!!. Great happy hour menu, margaritas with tajin. Shout out to Manuel for the excellent service

Ambiance is very much ah vibe *~ drunks is A1 , food is good ~ Fabian is the BESTEST*!!

This was a very nice experience. The food was absolutely positively delicious, the service was out of this world, and we even got our photo taken! Would definitely recommend this place the vibe was very nice and lovely food 10/10 would recommend.

This place is corny, overpriced and mediocre. It's the opposite of old Hollywood. Bummed I ate here

I finally visited Mr. Tempo Cantina and was very disappointed. I've been to their restaurants in Brea, Downey, Santa Monica, San Diego and Valle de Guadalupe. Let me start with saying that our food was cold. Music was extremely loud (nightclub loud) I was there to enjoy food and drinks and we had to be screaming to be able to have a conversation. Lastly and the worse part was service. The waiter had the audacity to call me "guey" which I did not appreciate. I know to many this is not a big deal but at the end of the day they're supposed to keep a certain level of respect. Will never be back to this establishment.

Food is fresh, but the flavor is very lacking. Spent over $100 on a carne asada, a burrito & 2 cokes. Service was horrible as well, stood up front for about 10mins and finally sat myself at the bar. We were the only people at the bar & she didn't pay any attention to us after taking our order.

I recommend making reservations, as I assume there are long wait times since it's in the middle of Hollywood Blvd. We made reservations for 8:45 and were seated right away. Giovanny was our sever and very attentive. It's a fun and loud atmosphere with great endless options of drinks. The food is great don't get me wrong but just be prepared to pay for overpriced Mexican food. I got the enchiladas and it comes with 3 for $18. Keep in mind dishes do not come with sides. The chips and salsa were $8 and they get stingy with the amount they give you. Also, if you ask for water it's $3. I'm not sure if there was any other option than having to pay for water but this isn't Coachella where we should be be forced to pay for water. Found that part so tacky. It's also a little hard to have a conversation across the table with the person you're with since the tables have these high little table top for the food but it's too high. It's definitely worth checking out 1x for the experience.

Betsy was the best server!! It's such a good time here, you have to come. She knew exactly what we needed!

Drinks were great. Food was amazing. Camila, our bartender, was great. We got the aguachiles, they were fire

Love dining at the restaurants in this group and this one was one to add to the list. The food was delicious and the service was attentive, definitely worth a stop while walking the stars on Hollywood.

Drinks and food are pretty darn good . We typically come here on weekends for drinks and some grub. Salmon is good birria is good. Service is pretty good . It's usually pretty full, I would make reservations. Good place for large groups, with friends or on a date .

This is a SOLID 4.5 Stars I don't know how we've never seen this spot before, but we loved it! When you first walk in, the vibe is a bit Papas and Beer in Ensenada, but don't let that fool you. The food is great and prices are good (with lots of specials on food and drinks). And the service was fabulous (at least from our server, Jorge). I dropped my fork, and before I even had a chance to pick it up, Jorge quietly placed a new fork by my plate. I mean....that's Michelin-level service right there!! It's down a side street, so not as obvious as some other places in that area, but worth the little detour. We'll be back!!

Food is very different, but has a good taste . Good place to try new things . Our waiter jovany was super helpful.

You eat what you pay. Love the food and my margaritas! Our server was great. These prices are not bad for being @h hOLLYWOOD.

Amazing food and atmosphere. The cutest baby margaritas! Everything is authentic and fresh!!!

Totally recommend this spot in Hollywood! Had an AMAZING brunch this morning after a nite well spent at Universal Studios, nite before! My Chilaquiles with carnitas were DELISHH! I couldn't decide on which Mimosa flavor to get & our Server Jiovanni recommended the 3 flavor Mimosa flight which were just PERFECTION! Ohhh, & if you're down for dessert, you gotta try their Bread Pudding with Ice Cream, literally melts in your mouth, lol. Thank you Jiovanni for your EXCELLENT service, I definitely give this spot 10+, highly reccomend!!

Love this place! The food and drinks are delicious! Manuela is such a vibe! Great atmosphere and staff
