3 Stars: Good Prices but just an "Okay" Meal (by LoveLAEaten)

I recently visited Pueblo Viejo after reading a few reviews here on CitySearch and found it to be just "okay." Not to say it was bad, but I've had better. The price is right here and you do get what you pay for but there are much better options in Los Angeles. The staff was very friendly and the margaritas were good. The waitress suggested the enchilada/shrimp taco combo which wasn't bad, but the rojo enchilada sauce tasted like the kind you buy from the store and I didn't particularly enjoy the pinto beans that accompanies the combo dishes.

5 Stars: Check Out Mexican restaurant (by girlnotorious)

After a meeting at Paramount Studios = cocktail, wind down. This is the place. It is family run and serves family recipes with friendly service.
Emelda and Francisco (Frank) have a comfortable restaurante and bar that is equally suited for couples, singles, groups dining together or families with children.
The bar area has a plasma TV for sports viewing and is separate from the dining area so each space has its own purpose. There are top shelf tequila selections available, in addition to a full bar. Delicate lighting, wonderful ambience set the stage for delicious food at reasonable prices. There is a happy hour M-F 4:00pm to 7:00pm, delivery, catering, call 323-464-0624.
Starters -jicama and carrot sticks with ranch dressing, very refreshing. The homemade salsa, avocado dips with chips are fresh, the fragrance is undeniable. There is a chipotle bbq sauce that is smokey and thick. There is a totopitos dish, chips with melted jack cheese and pinto beans on the side with avocado ? better than any ?nachos? you?ve ever tried. Crunchy, having the beans on the side means it doesn?t get soggy by the time you finish.
The quesadilla de Cameron, two corn tortillas with shrimp and cheese, topped with ranchero sauce and pico de gallo is exceptional. The shrimp is fresh and firm and matches the sauce.
There are soups & salads: Sopa de Papa - potatoes simmered with tomatoes, onions & green chiles.
Sopa de Tortilla ? spicy chile broth with tortillas, Mexican cheese and avocado.
Green salad, Grilled chicken salad, Caesar salad, w/ chicken
Entrees: Tacos, Burritos, and a large number of specialty plates, enchiladas, flautas, chile relleno, carne asada, carnitas, chile verde, and a number of chicken dishes prepared in different ways.
Also, seafood selections, halibut, & shrimp. Combination platters are also available.
Recently added breakfast, starting at 9:00am ? Sunday to Friday featuring Omlettes, fruit & granola, eggs, bacon, and sausage, etc.

I love, love, love this restuarant. The food is fantastic, the staff is so attentive, the owner is extremely appreciative of your business and margheritas are the BEST! The vege burrito is extremley tasty, not greasy and full of only beans. The prices are extremely reasonable and the atmosphere is warm and fun. Everything is homemade and FRESH and you can taste it.

It's a hidden treasure. You'll love it. Say hi to Franciso (Frank) the owner, he's a doll.

5 Stars: MMMMMMMMMMM CARNE ASADA (by peacockfther)

MMM YUMMY! I had always loved Campos, But never liked to travel to Santa Monica to get it. This place is conviniently located to where I live and it is so good. I always get the Carne Asada plate- well done with Flour tortillas.

cant say anymore- besides your missing out.
