LA Times Reviewer Believes DTLA’s ‘Row Finally Has Its Anchor’ - Eater LA

"Escárcega took on casual Chinatown spot Tirsa’s Mexican Cafe, and turned a big shining light on its popular dish, Flamin’ Hot sopes. Escárcega shared a bit of history about the origins of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, then pivots to the varied options made by chef/owner Tirsa Nevarez." - Mona Holmes

The Ride-Along Report: First Takes From Last Night’s Dinner - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"What It Is: A casual Mexican spot on the edge of Chinatown Perfect For: Lunch, Casual Weeknight Dinner Tirsa’s is a good new lunch option on the southern edge of Chinatown, in the same complex as a Subway and across the street from a Burger King. So it’s not surprising that there was a stream of local office people stopping in to this Mexican place when we visited - picking up tacos to-go, sharing some loaded steak fries, or having quiet time over a cilantro-lime chicken plate in the corner. Verdict: Good, casual Mexican to know about if you’re in the area." - Jess Basser Sanders, Brant Cox, Brett Keating

Food was delicious, good flavor and freshly made. Excellent customer service. Inside restaurant is a little bit hot. Definitely will come back when we visit LA.

It was really delicious. I’ve had the salads and fries and burritos. Yesterday I had the carne asada burrito with fries inside the burrito, it was really good. I also got the strawberry horchata. I highly recommend this place to my friends. Order ahead and it’ll be ready when you arrive.

I have been following this place on Instagram for a couple months now and I finally got the chance to try it out and I have to admit it is good! I got the enchilada plate (half red/half green) really good, red sauce was perfect flavor and the green sauce had enough spice! Also ordered the flaming hot sope which was alright I was expecting more of a "pow" flavor. My husband ordered the burrito with french fries(forgot the name) it was big and good! He got full and didn't finish all of it. My mother in law ordered the chicken tortilla soup had a good amount of flavor a little spicy. The restaurant is really small and cute and they great you when you walk in which I love! Great customer service! I will definitely come back to try other foods and try the mazapan or abuelita chocolate frappe!

My go to when I "forget" to bring lunch. Full of flavor and a variety of options. Creatively named like the "Me So Corny" and excellent customer service. I've also seen a culinary school plaque, hence the spins on traditional Mexican food. I go here at least once per week.

I loved Tirsa's Mexican Cafe! I found the restaurant on Instagram where there was a video of Tirsa showing how some of the items were vegan. My friend and I were not disappointed. We had an order of carne asada fries (you could tell the fries were freshly made), that we had to split because of how big it was. We also had a hot cheetos sope and an horchata. I will definitely be going back. They're decorations are so cute and they have a little photo booth section with props so you can take pictures.

The service was friendly. I had the LA Bite Burrito today. Which is similar to the California burrito. I thought the taste was good, but the texture of the meat was not to my liking. The size of the burrito was good. I tasted several of their salsas (no salsa bar) and my favorite was the green salsa and the habanero salsa. I will come back to try their tacos or asada fries.
