Talo Organic — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I’m not sure what to say.. I went here specifically for the fries and all they serve now are potato wedges. I paid nearly $7 for 5 potato wedges.. outrageous. AND THEY STILL LABEL THEM AS FRIES ON THE MENU! I went here specifically for the thin cut fries they advertise on their Instagram and that all the Google Maps pics show, but I didn’t find out until after i ordered when I asked and the staff said they don’t make them anymore! Such a major let down. Those potato wedges are horrible. Bring back the fries I would love to taste them! I ordered the Latin influenced bowl, it was good, but portions are smaller than Europe. I do agree the steak and chicken meat are high quality, so are the other ingredients, but the prices definitely reflect that, the portions don’t. I’m divided whether I would return or not, those thin cut fries might make me change my mind… Didn’t realize this was nestled in The Colony, good addition to the spot however confusing how you can order from The Colony computer terminals, or you can go to Talo’s staff who has a register setup on...

This place is kinda like a chipotle but healthier. I would say it almost tastes homemade. I have a lot of food sensitives but did not get sick from eating here.

Highlights: -excellent taste, the fajita veggies seasoning was spot on fresh ingredients, nutritional. Left feeling full and satisfied, no groggy yucky feeling like other fast food

I really enjoyed the chips, guac, and tacos!

Lowlights: the potato "fries" but actually wedges right now -the container the bowl comes in is not deep enough to mix everything properly -the location, it's in a shared area so I wonder if the kitchens are separate? And it's Venice but what can you do lol

All in all, I hope that talo opens up more locations and stays true to...

Giving 5 starts bc it’s clear the owner cares and they’re off to a good start… here’s what I would change:

Way too slow of service, I got stuck behind a dozen DoorDash orders, but I was there, in person, I’d give my in person customers priority. They’ve left their home and jobs to come eat, get them fed. Waited almost 30 mins for a steak bowl while I was trying to grab a quick lunch.

Portions are too small. I understand the meat portioning, which was actually a lot of meat and felt like the right portion, but rice most cost u 10 cents to double the portion, same with corn. Left a $20 meal feeling hungry when u could double the portions of the inexpensive stuff. Ty. Excited to see...
