My 2 Cents LA Reviews

We had high expectations for this place based on reviews and we love supporting small restaurant but unfortunately our experience was disappointing and less than desirable. We went for brunch. We had a questions regarding the brunch menu unfortunately, the girl taking the order doesn't actually pay attention or answer questions being posed by the customer despite repeating the question 3 different ways. I still wasn't sure what my orde included...hence what I received was disappointing since I thought I was getting the plate order. My husband ordered the fried chicken based on her recommendation, unfortunately that was also wrong since we got the grilled or BBQ chicken instead and not the Fried chicken. Chicken was very dry and absolutely not worth it. We believed that all the food was prepared way in advanced and just reheated so nothing was cooked to order or freshly made. The eggs were dry and yolk completely hardened from sitting for hours before they were served. See picture.
The day we were there, they were playing some kind of strange Korean music and it was so hot inside the restaurant, it was uncomfortable. The exactly a great dinning atmosphere or dinning experience.

My first visit here was excellent. I believe it was back in 2018, the twins were extremely welcoming. We ordered the shrimp and grits, oxtail tacos, mac and cheese and other stuff. It was amazing , you guys had us as customers for life just off that first visit. I had recommended the spot to everyone I knew.
Unfortunately the past couple times I’ve been here the service went down tremendously. The last time we had went the food was just as expected but we were basically invisible. It wasn’t busy at all. Everyone who had came after us got their food first. The waitress kept coming out to the guys next to us making eye contact and leaving. We didn’t get our appetizer or dessert. It’s okay to have a bad day once but when it’s a pattern I’m not okay with it. Sorry , I’m not coming back again.

No wait! Polite guys behind the counter. Food came out in a timely fashion. Oxtail tacos & jerk shrimp tacos were both delicious!!! The Tom Ford is so tasty! I’m a big water drinker so appreciate being served a carafe! I’m visiting from Michigan so I always search out chocolate owners restaurants and I was more than ecstatic about my experience! Especially being owned my a sista!

Chicken soul rolls and black rice were amazing. Customer service, excellent. Myles and Lavonce served us and were very professional. A bit under seasoned with some of the dishes for my taste. Atmosphere was community orientated.

This is the kind of place I feel comfortable eating alone because it really feels like home at My 2 Cents. The food is delicious, the portions are sizable, and the menu has many vegan/veg friendly items.

3 words SHRIMP AND GRITS! They are delicately delicious yet full of flavor. The shrimp were cooked to perfection, the grits were creamy, soft and yummmy, can’t forget the broth it’s flavorful and rather delicate. Not greasy, not salty just clean and delicious. Comfort food at it’s finest. If your a spicy person you might want to kick it up with some hot sauce but that’s based on preference. I can’t wait to dig into my peach cobbler and pound cake. The staff was lovely and eager to please. I’ll definitely be back to try your oxtail tacos if I can’t stop myself from ordering the shrimp and grits again. The Sunday brunch menu looks amazing too, I was told that your fried chicken and waffle are the best! Thanks for making delicious food. Love is Life ♥️

I have a New Year day tradition that includes shrimp and grits, gumbo, greens and black eyed peas. I really didn’t feel like cooking this year as I am dining solo due to the fact everyone I normally get together with has Covid, so I called My 2 Cents. The restaurant was actually closed when I called but they took my order anyway and they even waited 25 minutes until I was able to get there. Not only did I love every bite, I was very pleasantly surprised when I opened the bag at home to find a carton of sweet cornbread that they threw in as a gift. While they weren’t able to make the shrimp and grits because the kitchen had already been shut down, based on the gumbo alone, I will be going back during regular hours to try their shrimp and grits. I highly recommend anytime you want something delicious to eat and don’t feel like cooking, this is one place you should try.

The strawberry cake is everything! I highly recommend the soul rolls, oxtail tacos, fried green tomatoes and the service with a smile. I’ll definitely be back.

This Black Woman owned establishment came highly recommend by a close acquaintance and it did not disappoint. My husband and I ordered the BBQ chicken salad, blackened jerk shrimp tacos, shrimp & grits, strawberry & sweet potato cakes, and peach cobbler. The simple yet tasty BBQ chicken salad came with a delicious house made dressing (not pictured) that added depth to the salad. The savory shrimp & grits were my favorite! Yum! I realize corn tortillas, (not my favorite), seem to be the standard in this area. They were used for the blackened shrimp tacos. The tacos did not hold as much flavor as expected, but they were still good enough to enjoy. The desserts were all made from scratch and satisfied my sweet tooth. The strawberry cake was my favorite! Yum! On top of all the great flavors is a spectacular chef with a genuine heart for the community who came out to greet us as we were visiting from VA. Thanks Chef Alisa!Stop by My 2 Cents if you're ever in CA to experience unique southern style cuisine!
