Kosher Mexican sounded like such an unique combination, I knew I had to check it out!
Located on a stretch of Pico sandwiched by all the old Kosher standbys, this new pisher on the block has really struck gold. This stuff is delicious.
These folks have realized it’s not just enough to be kosher. I’ve been to my fair share of LA’s kosher establishments and “delicious” would NOT be used in the same sentence.
The high point is the TLC they put into their meats. They’re not serving up boiled chicken breast or stringy beef. You can taste the marinade and the fat and the flavor. You almost get squirted in the eye with juices when they cut through that chicken. Thank god for the glass partition!
This obsessive attention paid to the meat is exactly how you can have Mexican food without the cheese. I know you were thinking that. Trust me, you won’t even miss it.
You’ll be saying “Cheese, who?”
But you’ll say it a crowded elevator a few days later, followed by an uncomfortable silence.

Of course this place would be JUST around the corner from me and offer NO veggie options. Sigh…
