"I have never had bad food at La Med and we have been there probably 5 or 6 times, each time just as good as the last.I took my partner for his birthday and tried the variety of small plates option they had at the time and every single one was delicious. The phylo dough pastries are crisp, the fillings not at all soggy, the pomegranate lamb meatballs are soft and springy and sweet, sour, and savory.We have been with our family and tried so many great vegetarian options there as well (the dolmas, the potato salad, the falafel--it's all excellent).This weekend La Med catered our wedding reception and our guests had the same things to say. I brought boxes to hand out for leftover food but in the end, there was next to nothing left to take home! (Except some dolmas, which naturally, we, the bride and groom, had to take home to eat for ourselves when we finally got chance to sit down. And I have to say they were just as soft and aromatic at the end of day as they were at the start).I worked with the catering manager Jeff to submit my order, and he/they were so punctual and on top of everything! I sent them an email with what I wanted and within an hour or two, they sent me a quote and placed my order for me. They even provided cutlery and serving materials AND delivery for an extremely reasonable fee!I am so grateful to La Med and if I ever need a caterer, I will absolutely order but when I don't, I am happy that we live close enough to stop by to just have a lovely dinner.Vegetarian options: Plenty of them."

"Came here for a quick dinner on a Friday evening. They were pretty close to empty and we were able to order right away. Considering a lot of the ingredients are prepared fresh the tacos were served pretty quickly. I was attracted to visit here from the wide variety of unique taco options relative to what I've seen around town and my experience certainly lived up to that. I tried a turkey with sweet mole taco, pork with mole pipian taco, and a beef sope. The turkey with sweet mole immediately popped out to me as the most unusual taco option and I thought it tasted great! The meat was more rich and moist than you would expect from turkey, and the sweetness in the mole was subtle but you definitely notice it. The pork taco was also quite good, but was more distinct from other mole experiences than I expected. The chilles or seasoning used to make it a red mole were the most prominent part of the flavor and the richness from the mole was more in the background. I still liked it a lot, just different than I would have expected. The only downside with the tacos, and the reason I can't give them 5 stars, is they cost $4.20 when the size is more in line with what youd find for under 3$ at places of similar quality around town. The sope on the other hand was much more filling and my strongest recommendation if you are to give them a try. I had never tried before, but the fried corn dough as the base was fantastic, it almost reminded me of a mini ego waffle if it were made of corn. It's topped with pretty much everything you'd get from a standard taco here with a meat of your choice. In terms of bang for your buck, 2 of these cost much less than 3 tacos would and it's about as filling. Overall, I don't think you'll be dissapointed if they give them a try. However I wouldn't imagine this becoming part of my regular rotation if I lived in the area given its price relative to comprable options."
