Humble Bee Cocina - Northridge

Amazing! So delicate, fresh with aromas that surprise. I wish I had taken pictures. They have the most exquisite vegetarian meals (but also the shrimps on spits looked impressive). I'll go back this week. Little, family owner. This place is honestly the best Mexican restaurant I was in.

Excellent food, excellent drinks. Love these cats. Had the chef's choice of tacos, was pork belly, chicken chicharrón and grilled salmon. Pork belly holds a special place in my heart but the salmon was a sneaky king of the plate. Wife had cheese enchiladas and we shared an amazing plate of nachos. Will always be returning. Thank you chef ?

Wonderful folks wonderful place Absolutely amazing food Great fresh locally sourced ingredients they make their own tortillas really tasty sauces Will absolutely be back Whenever I?m in the area!

I've seen the future of the food that will go into my mouth and it all begins and ends here with Sol bee Taco, the latest restaurant from the family that brought you Humble Bee Cafe ? an oasis for thoughtful, creative, and really good food with a new American sensibility, in the heart of the San Fernando Valley, otherwise a wasteland for such things. There are great options here for vegetarians and gluten-free folks aloke. There are two different vegetarian tacos, both of which are delicious including the Ajo Seta Taco, which has a good portobello mushroom flavor to it (though I did lean towards adding salsa to it to give it more oomph. I?d also love cheese on this one. AND the Verde Machina taco (possibly the most biologically steam-punk taco name ever which also had good flavor, especially with lime squeezed on it. Nice and tangy! You can get a taco plate where you can mix any 3 tacos which then come with beans and rice. I did this and had the pinto beans which had a mild flavor and which were hearty. The star of the meal, for me, was the Butternut Squash and Kale Quesadilla! (I?ve gone back and had these 2 more times since this first visit! It has tons of flavor and it was certainly the best use of cheese in everything we ordered. It came with a very delicious salsa, and a vaguely Indian cream sauce which I loved. The star of the meal for my wife, was the Chili-Lime Cucumber and Guacamole starter. She loves it. Both of our dishes and the sides were beautifully presented with a little edible flowers, all kinds of delectable sauces, and were really just a pleasure to both look at as well as eat. They also do a housemaid chips here. We have these a couple of times and both times we found them to be a little bit too thick for artists as well as (and again both times a little bit over cooked for chips. The corn taste definitely came through by a single chip is a pretty heavy proposition here at Sol Bee They have beers and siders on tap, and I had the Table Creek red wine blend which I found to be quite smooth and drinkable as blends tend to be. We closed out our first meal at Sol Bee with their house-made Flan. This was incredibly ?caramel-y? and by-far the best flan I've ever had, with dehydrated, cinnamon-sugar coated bananas on top. I'm not normally a flan guy, but this was outstanding. Entire experience was topped off by serving staff who were among the nicest and sweetest people we've ever encountered. Well done Sol Bee. We?ll be back again and again.

DELICIOUS and AUTHENTIC. Bold flavors. They put nopales in the asada tacos, and crema! I was SO impressed. And their take on a michelada was refreshing with the pickled cauliflower and carrot. I can't get over the flavors of the food. Even the tortillas are homemade. Can't wait to come back.
