Dame Veneno 4533 East Cesar E Chavez Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90022

"I went there with my daughter because she loves Mexican food from Los Angeles. We went early in the morning but sadly the "carnitas" were not ready. My daughter had the chilaquiles plate and they were just ok. I had the machaca plate which was not anything to rave about. The food is ok, the prices a bit high but the atmosphere was nice. It's probably a better place for dinner and drinks."

"First time eating here. I felt welcomed and appreciated as a customer. I ordered the chilaquiles rojos without eggs or meat (although the ribeye beef as an extra sounded most tempting--maybe next time). For me, the flavors of the chilaquiles, refried beans, and pan-roasted potatoes balanced nicely. The sauce was spicy enough to be interesting without being fiery, and the portion size was perfect--not too much or too little. I had the Jamaica to go with it, and I liked it too--rich flavor and not overly-sweetened. Our waitress, Amanda, was attentive and patient and had good knowledge of whichever menu items we asked about. Although there is a small parking lot next to the restaurant, parking is generally limited in this area, so be prepared to walk a bit if the lot is full. (Coincidentally, El Gallo is a fine, long-established bakery across the street for those who'd like to take some real treats home.) Overall, a very nice experience, and I would recommend Dame Veneno for anyone looking for a good place to enjoy breakfast, brunch or lunch."

"Great experience, the food is always top notch"

"It was a delicious Mexican restaurant. The natural drinks were water down and too sweet. But overall everything was great. The meat is excellent. Came back a second time and had the salmon, it was absolutely delicious, the green sauce was amazing, it comes with a tortilla filled with melted cheese. Taco El Ruso is a must! The staff is super friendly."

"We love this little place in East LA! We just discovered it by chance! The ambiance, on a weekend morning especially, is so nice and let's a lot of light in with the huge glass wall! Food was great! And service is wonderful! And the great thing too is that they have their own parking!"
