- DDebbieLos Angeles •1 review4.0Dined 3 days agofood was delicious. waitress was excellent. we were seated and served quickly. ambience was lacking because of the large tv sets...people from a table nearby were turning around to see the tv and were facing us during our meal - very distracting. not every restaurant needs tvs. there are still people in the world who enjoy conversationMore infoTrue Food Kitchen - Santa MonicaPrice: Moderate• American• Santa Monica•4.3
- SSarahvipNew York City •13 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoDecent food and they keep it warm in the covered patio which was nice. The service was spotty but it was only because there was only one server and the place was packed! I felt so bad for him. He was so nice the entire time despite the fact that it was only him. I really don’t know if I’ll be back because $30 for some tacos and guac is pretty steep, but maybe if I want to treat myself.More infoBlue Plate TacoPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Santa Monica•4.5
