"An all-around nice spot in Beverly Hills to grab some good Mexican food and drinks. The atmosphere is open with a welcoming yet refined ambiance. The service was super friendly and attentive too. The food is on the pricier side, but pretty tasty and a good stop between shopping in the area. They have daily lunch specials from 11 to 4 pm and AYCE Sunday Brunch for about $50 with a Bottomless Mimosa add-on for another $25. Very tempting, but I'd probably get kicked out of the stores after being blitz. Anyways, I came here for lunch and tried their Maracuya and Watermelon Mojito for drinks. The Maracuya was an all around good cocktail with the smoky mezcal. I asked for it a little spicy and they added some jalapeños for me. The Watermelon Mojito was like summer. Very juicy, sweet, and bright! For food, they are known for their guacamole so definitely went with that. It came with a citrusy green salsa and a smokey hot red. Pretty good and great for sharing. Really fresh guac that is light and airy being a good mix between chunky and smooth. I also got their Mole Poblano. Super delish and highly recommended! The mole was sweet and deep with smoky notes. It was served over some shredded chicken that was cooked percectly! It came with some rice, plantains, and tortillas to build a taco. Really good mix of carbs! I enjoyed every bite and would get it again. All in all, I enjoyed this place! Aside it being a bit pricy, it had good service, food, and ambiance!"

"We went to dinner and had reservations at 8:45pm. The girl said he would seat us as soon as the tables were free he said approximately 10 minutes…. So 8 of us went to the bar and had some Drinks. 20 MINUTES later we asked the girl what happened she said.. “oh that table is paying for it’s bill 5 more minutes”. We said nicely ok. Then 15 minutes after that, we see cakes being sent to the table that the girl told us was for us she basically lied to us. We asked the manager what’s going on he said you’ll be seated soon. One and a half hours later we got seated. The manager didn’t apologize. One time didn’t even offer. Hey, here’s a free dessert because you waited over an hour and a half!! he was so rude!!! so disrespectful!!! at the end of the night the manager comes up to us and says “ what do you want me to do so don’t pay gratuity to your server!!!!!!!!” Omg!! Omg!!!! Shame on this manager for even speaking this way to us, he threw the check at our table and walked away. We didn’t even ask for anything just for an apology that we had to wait for an hour and a half and this is the way the MANAGER ACTS!!!!!!! we told our nice Server what the manager had told us! We gave our server extra extra money just for being so nice!! Shame on your manager!!!! we have told many many friends about our story, and we are never dining with you guys ever again!!! Your manager has no experience and no manners!"

"Juquila is this kind of neighborhood-finding that you take your friends if you want to hang out, and are well fed without breaking the bank. Not exactly the kind of place you would find on Santa Monica Blvd. this is a restaurant of the working class with prices to fit. For appetizers we tried a few ala-carte dishes. The style for Chile's Rellenos is NOT to have the thick layer of the egg battery. The focus is on filling. The picadillo relleno was loaded with chopped chicken and seasoned with raisins, nuts and served in a pepper sauce with a smokey touch of Chipotle. The weak heart can prefer a milder sauce like those relleno on the cheese. It's not almost so hot, but just as good. Of course we had to order a mole. Having eaten recently in Guelaquetza on the 8th, I can say that it is good and can compete with the best of them. But...Guelaquetza is better. It is a question of individual taste. The mol sauce is both delicious and comparable. Try to order a little extra sauce on the page. My entree of Chilaquiles and Cecina was pretty good for the price. Although I prefer my chilaquiles on the crispy side, the cecina (then, marinated pork steak was tender. Another person in our party has been happy for the Oaxacan combination plate (12.99-ish, which with good stuff determined: chorizo, tazajo (thin cut steak and Quesillo (Oaxacan string cheese black beans and rice). A nice thing in this tiny place is that they have a beer wine license. I tasted my first michelada, best described as **** Mary with beer. It was... different. I don't think I like my food to compete with my drink. I knew I'd come back when I saw the plentiful breakfast menu, loaded with decent spicy dishes to illuminate my fire first in the morning... along with their big paper din Mai's tortillas and a cold beer? Jesus."
