Loqui

Tucked inside The Platform, Culver City’s sleek open-air shopping destination, Loqui offers something rare on LA’s Westside: genuinely excellent tacos in a quick, casual setting. Think of it as the sophisticated cousin to your typical fast-casual Mexican chain—same convenience, but with ingredients and execution that punch well above its weight class.

The star of the show here is undoubtedly the handmade flour tortillas. Thick, chewy, and impossibly tender, they’re in an entirely different league from what you’d find at chain restaurants. Fill them with the cochinita pibil—slow-braised pork with bright, zesty notes—or the marinated chicken that surprises with its subtle heat. For those who prefer bowls, Loqui builds them with the same care and quality proteins.

This spot hits the sweet spot for Westside residents craving quality Mexican food without the commitment of a sit-down meal. It’s perfect for a quick lunch break while shopping at The Platform, a casual bite with friends, or grabbing takeout on the way home. Vegetarians will find plenty to love here too, making it an easy choice when dining with mixed groups.

Whether you’re popping in between browsing boutiques or making a dedicated trip, Loqui delivers exactly what the neighborhood needed—approachable prices, fast service, and tacos that actually taste like someone cared about making them right.
