" Looking for good food? Try Simon's Restaurant! It's super cozy and perfect for casual dining. I kindly asked for a vegetarian option, and to my delight, they delivered spectacularly. Their mushroom tacos were one of the best I've had. I was impressed by how generous the portions were—great value for money! " (*Curated Review*)

" Never had a meal that felt so comforting! I tried their quesabirria tacos and they were out of this world! The cheese, the meat, everything was perfect. The place is small but adequately set up for dining. I look forward to many more visits to enjoy their meals! I'd give 10 stars if I could. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing such great things about Simon's, I finally went to see what the fuss was about. The food was on point! I had the birria ramen, and it not only presented beautifully but tasted amazing as well! The decor is simple yet charming and really adds to the vibe of the place. It's cash only, which is a slight inconvenience but well worth it. Go for the birria! " (*Curated Review*)

" I won't be returning to Simon's. I found the barbacoa too greasy for my liking, and the service was quite slow. The ambiance was nice, though—I'd give that high marks. I hear great reviews from others, so maybe I just hit them on an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" One of my favorite places for Mexican food! I've tried several dishes and have not been disappointed yet. Their torta de pierna is fantastic, loaded with avocado. You can taste the freshness in every bite! The staff is always cheerful and helpful. I've brought a few friends, and they all agree—this is a gem in East LA! " (*Curated Review*)

" I always find myself craving Simon's Restaurant! It's become my go-to for authentic Mexican cuisine. The service is consistently friendly, and I appreciate that they understand my dietary needs without any fuss. The barbacoa is wonderfully rich and flavorful. I don’t know how they do it, but every visit feels special. Hope to see you open on Sundays too! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I stumbled upon Simon's Restaurant while looking for a quick bite and we were pleasantly surprised. The chiles rellenos were perfectly stuffed and flavorful, and the prices are incredibly low for the quality of food. The staff was friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome. We had such a good time that we stayed longer than expected. Highly recommend this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)
