Fine scene for tasty Mexican food. Arrived at seven, it wasn't crowded. I had a cousin come into town and she asked me to go back here. The place has an awesome atmosphere. Menu is like a cafe in Indianapolis I liked. More...

Absolutely amazing!! Best Mexican food I've ever had hands down. Service was quick and a comforatable mix of food court style seating and table service. I can not honestly express how delicious everything was. We ate until we were so full it hurt. Absolutely recommend for everyone to come give this place a try! You will not be disappointed. More...

I've been eating here for several years. It's always fantastic, and Tuesday night was no exception. The Cochinita Pibil was perfection, as usual! ! I also highly recommend going on Sunday and ordering the baked suckling pig tacos. Now what are you waiting for? GO!! More...

I love the food here but every time I go I run into the same problem, understaffed. As busy as they get they don't hire more servers. It's a little disorganized, big orders don't always come out together, something is always left behind and then you wait even longer. More...

Awesome food! I let my friend order for me, I was skeptical and nervous he would order something awful. But no. He order this amazing pollo dinner with rice, beans and corn tortillas. Absolutely delicious, the flavors exploded in my mouth on the first bite. Thank you, I can say its an awesome place for sure. More...

This place is amazing. It's in a food court, but the food is a very impressive collection of Yucatàn area food with Mayan, Spanish, and Lebonese/Mediterranean influences. It's definitely worth a try and will not break your bank. We went there earlier today and are already planning our next trip to LA just so we can eat at Chichen Itza again! It's that good. More...

I would move closer to your restaurant just so I could eat there more often. I bought these to go items: octopus tacos, scallop tacos, seafood stew, mixed seafood cocktail and stuffed peppers. I couldn't wait to get home and dig into my very own sampler. Each dish was sooo yummy and I would definitely walk a mile on ground glass to get more. More...

Food is always awesome! Full house on Mother's Day, but they manage to have food on the table within 30 mns. and NOT compromising the quality and taste.

I love this Yucatecan restaurant in Mercado La Paloma near USC. Complex flavors and a number of vegan options, including the delicious Sikil-pac (a tomato-based dip) and vegetales al carbon (grilled veggies).

Delicious! Cochinita Pibil, Panuchos and Roast Pork (only on Sunday). So good that I am glad I don’t live close or would be there more than I should. Their Salsa is is worth buying one to take home. More...

The Cochinita Pibil was as good as what I had in Cozumel. However, as for the Pollo Pibil, I prefer having it made with breast meat, which is the way I had it in Mexico. Please consider making a version like that. This is the only restaurant I know of in Los Angeles that serves this type of Mexican Food, which is my favorite. More...

We come here all the time for work lunches because it IS AWESOME. I love their tortas, the pibil, all the salsas, potato salad is great & spicy. Everything I’ve tried, I’ve loved. Horchata is BOMB. Chicken Itza is a must-go and a top recommendation for any LA visitors. More...

A part of a minimall complex that emphasizes discrimination by the police with posters through the eras. The food is delicious and the service as well. Definitely more of a Hawker feel in terms of atmosphere. More...

Was introduced to this establishment by a successful Mexican business developer. I had their fish dish, which was grilled very very well. But the true standout was their horchata. I’ve been making a point to taste a horchata at every Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to for over 7 years and Chichen Itza has the best. Starting from the color, to the grain and sweetness, to the price, I can say I’ve tasted the best horchata I’ve ever had in America. More...

Small portions. It's good, but if you want to get full you'll have to spend more money. Rice and beans are a la cart unless you get a meal, which isn't very filling. Plantains also sold separately.

The tacos are larger than your average street taco. The aguas are great. Enjoyed the poc chuc taco immensely. My favorite here is the chicharron taco. It is a beautiful exercise in simplicity and taste. More...

This is a fabulous restaurant. I highly recommend visiting and trying some of the best food in Los Angeles. Chichen Itza specializes in Yucatecan food, and they do a great job of making it. Whether you want to take out or eat there, be sure to note that the seating is shared with other restaurants in the Mercado. They do have parking, be sure to get your ticket validated during business hours. More...

A well-earned member of the Gold 100 list. The fish with a citrus achiote sauce was excellent - perfectly cooked, and the tart sauce set it off nicely. The fruit-jicama salad that came with it was also refreshing. And the prices, considering the quality, were a steal. More...

In a lovely food court, with all kinds of unique eateries, this is a mix. You order at the counter but get real plates that are served to your table. The food is very good. Not the regular Mexican you get everywhere. Dishes cooked in banana leaves were especially good. Wonderful. More...
