"I do my best to be generous to locally owned business and I feel that 4 stars is plenty fair. If this had been a chain I would have given it a solid 2.Food: The food itself was amazing. Whoever the cook is here does a great job. The variety is extensive and flavorful. Best cooked octopus (Pulpo) in Los Angeles in my opinion.Service: Pretty much all the staff speak Spanish only but they are very friendly and patient. If you need something specific, they can make it work even with a language barrier. They are attentive and helpful. Great service.Atmosphere: This is where this place loses me. Despite the great food and service; this place is LOUD. It was so loud, I actually downloaded a noise detection app and it registered this place at 120 decibels at times and regularly at 100db's. (About as loud as a chainsaw or airplane taking off). This was from the stereo speakers around the restaurant. Normally I dont like live bands, but I was relieved when one showed up and they turned down the loud music for them. I dont know if the owners here are deaf, but if they werent before, they surely are now. I couldnt think or eat with how LOUD this place was. Geez.Overall: Get your food to go and save yourself your ears bleeding and have a great meal at home."
