This restaurant is famous for the Garlic 1/2 chicken. One taste and smell of this baby, and you too will know why. It comes smothered in onions, garlic and this amzing sauce; also with an abundant amount of rice, black beans and to-die-for fried plantains, all for under $10 (last I checked). Definitely worth a try, in my opinion.

Need I say more than GARLIC CHICKEN? This is the best thing I've eaten in a long time. The sauce was so rich, I got a migraine after I ate it. Now THAT'S good.
I was surpised at how big the menu was. Every category was covered...beef, chicken, lamb, pork, seafood. Even the iced tea was great.
Favorite Dish: DUH!

There are three locations for Versailles. My favorite one is the small one on La Cienega. The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is great. And you can get Cuban beer Hatuey.
It's also a spot for some celebs.
Favorite Dish: Breaded steak or pork chops. Garlic chicken. The black beans and white rice are great, too. Plantaines are good.

There are several locations...including Venice, West LA and Manhattan Beach, Ventura. I have been to the first three.
The ambience is laid back cali-style, very family and group friendly. The strength doesn't lie in it's design but more so on the food. It is very popular with the locals and it's common to see lines outside during dinner time. The strength also lies in the low low prices of the food.
Very highly recommended for low budget travelers.
Favorite Dish: My favorite dish "was" the vampire-repellant dish of Garlic chicken and still comes highly recommended. Huge portions for low price. I say 'was' because I'm now vegetarian...
The plantains are my favorites!!!

There are too many to put down, but here are a few on the top of my list so far:
Xiomara; Nonya; Lite 'n Healthy (Westwood); Versailles
Favorite Dish: The ceviche and mojito are to die for at Xiomara. Nonya does great duck. Unagi sushi is especially good at Lite 'n Healthy. The garlic infused pork and/or chicken with plantains at Versailles will make your tummy happy.
