Great place and staff. Mauricio helped us when we had an incident with another customer and assured us that they do not tolerate rude/threatening behavior. He and the other staff were extremely accommodating. Furthermore, the food is always delicious and they have a wonderful amount of different options to choose from.

Since Senor Sol's untimely demise we have been wandering the San Fernando Valley for good Mexican food. Just to amuse myself I drove by Las Fuentes on Vanowen to see if there were any spots open. Can you guess? So back to Melody's, our old fav. We split a Carne Asada Burrito, mojado style of course and one Crispy Chicken Taco. Both were great, just like I remember. Prices have gone up. Yeah, they have. What are you going to do? We will start coming here again. I can't quit you Melody's.

Heard they started serving breakfast again and had to check it out! If you've visited their sister location Las Fuentes you'll know that the menu is practically the same. The food is delicious however the salsas they offer are different but yummy nonetheless. We got huevos con machaca, carne asada y huevos and chorizo con huevos. Coffee was delicious as well and despite them being busy the staff was super on top of making sure we got refills. My only complaint is that the music was quite loud and with there being a rush people had to talk really loud.

This restaurant is small but packs a punch with taste. The food is so good always fresh and very flavorful. There breakfast are so good and big portions with the right price. I ordered the nopales with eggs and they came with a big portion of chilaquiles. The chips are so good to. The best salsa is their molcajete salsa roja nice spicy level. There whole menu is pretty good, their tortas are also delicious. Definitely a place you can go multiple times and there is always something new you can try. Everyone is always very friendly. Good service, good food, good prices!!

10/5 stars! This food tastes too good to be this affordable. We got a bunch of stuff to sample: - hard shell tacos (chicken) and taquitos (chicken) - cheese nachos - salad on tostadas (chicken) The shredded chicken is seasoned PERFECTLY I feel like a lot of Mexican places have very bland shredded chicken and then you need a bunch of salsa to make it taste good but this chicken is very well seasoned all by itself. You don't need anything on it if you don't want it. The chicken taquito was so perfect just by itself. The flavor of the tortilla was really nice. There was the slightest hint of sweetness in every bite. It was so limited that it was like a whisper of a flavor but it was just enough to make the taquito sing. The nachos were pretty unremarkable. By the time we got home, the nachos were soggy. Not sure anything could have been done about that since we drove about 15 min after picking up the food. The crunchy taco was similarly delicious like the taquito. The salpicon tostada was really good. It's a chopped salad on top of a tostada. I happened to pull out one of the tostadas that was still really crunchy so that was exciting. It tastes like it has fresh oregano in it. Overall, this was a very delicious meal.

I'm back one year later and it's just as good as I remember it. I have been coming here for years and I love their food! On my most recent visit I switched it up and got the taquito plate which comes with rice and beans. Their rice is a bit different than most of the Mexican restaurants I've been to and in a good way. Some of my favorite other items that I go to are the potato tacos and their hard shell tacos. They have a few tables inside and a few outside but are super big on third party delivery service. I saw so many meals coming in and out so it's a great option for to go. They also have Micheladas there if you want to add a drink to your meal.

I've been hearing good things about this restaurant from multiple friends and finally had the opportunity to come today with a valley local. Melody's definitely seems to have a positive reputation in the valley and they also own more then one Mexican restaurant in this part of town. We came early enough on a weekday that we were able to find a parking spot within their small little parking lot to the side of the restaurant. This was a plus that they did have their own parking spaces, always grateful for a little bonus like this when in the valley. Parking can be limited but they seemed to have enough people coming and going that spots opened up. The restaurant stand itself is cute, very throw back 90's vibe in a good way. They have a cute outdoor patio that you have to walk through to get inside of the restaurant. Once inside there are a good amount of tables and you order at a register under a large wall of the menu. The menu here is pretty classic, they've got all of the tacos, burritos, and other such items that your heart could desire. Prices overall were pretty reasonable. A filling meal for two was under $35. It just depends what you get. Service was very causal and nice. The gentlemen taking my order at the counter was helpful and a sweet gal brought out our food to us once it was ready. So I did like that when you choose to eat in you don't have to wait for your name to be called, as they'll give you a number card and bring the food to you. The food was no frills classic Mexican food. Palatable for locals and all kinds of people. Just good food and hefty portions. I liked my food overall but there were some bites on the dish better then others. The favorites to me were the cheese enchiladas and and refried beans. I like that their "red" enchilada sauce is more orange, has a beautiful yet mild flavor. Really good and I'd totally get these again. I'm also just a sucker for good refried beans and they are 5/5 here. Would probably double up on beans instead of rice next time. The rice was a little "meh" for me. More yellow then traditional orange rice and the flavors were too mild for me. I can make better Mexican rice so that should kind of tell you something lol. Also my Jamaica drink was a bit overly concentrated, needed a little more water to it as it was less refreshing being so tart and overpowering. I had hoped for a Margarita but they don't have a traditional margarita menu here, the server called it a "frozen wine margarita" so I passed. Not up my alley. All in all some misses but also some really stellar bites! If you are in the valley this spot definitely hits the spot for Mexican food at a restaurant with cute interior and friendly staff. They know what they are doing here and it keeps the locals coming back, that's for sure. Id happily revisit this spot for enchiladas and beans, hopefully you'll give this valley staple a try next time your around.
