  We need more stars in rating this Topnotch restaurant - five stars is not enough!!!
  
  I’ve driven by Humble Bee Bakery and Cafe on Saticoy many times, but never stopped to check it out. So the other day when I saw Humble Bee Cocina on Lindley, I decided to give it a try - by the way, same owner. I will definitely be visiting the Cafe on Saticoy after my five star experience at the Cocina on Lindley.
  
  Humble Bee Cocina resides inside a tan stucco structure with a Spanish style roof overhead and has a sign that’s rather “humble” in design. This, coupled with the fact that it sits alongside other Valley-generic storefronts, you might have the impulse to shrug it off with a slight Unh!. But remember this impulse, for after you’ve experienced the Cocina, you might just say. “I have never been so wrong in all my life”.
  
  Let’s start with the yellow bicycle out front, it has plants inside its little bike basket - that’s super cute. Now let’s take a trip inside. There’s approximately 10 to 11 tables, all arranged in such a way that the area doesn’t seem too small - but if you want a different experience, there’s plenty of enclosed outdoor seating as well. The interior decor is simple yet elegantly modern. It has a warm overhead lighting that’s perfect, along with some natural lighting from windows in the front; the combo creates a relaxing environment - so we’re off to a good start. The music is quite diverse, (loved hearing Johnny Cash) The ceiling is quite high which allows for good acoustics - in other words, I can hear myself talking. The chairs are ergonomically made for comfort and there’s a nicely designed bar with a few stools located off in the distance. The walls are delightfully displayed with original artwork and when done gazing upon these uniquely painted canvases, feel free to turn your attention to the preparation of the food, as there is an open kitchen adjacent to the restaurant. Moving to the back section of the restaurant, the bathroom is super practical, nothing fancy here; but this is how we want it, right; a public bathroom to be straight utilitarian so it can be kept exceptionally clean? Now for the waitstaff, very professional and friendly; they honestly seemed to care about my experience (are we still in L.A.?). The over-all ambiance is important - this Cocina has a positively welcoming vibe that is in my opinion, Topnotch!! It must have been planned this way so as to not distract us from savoring the most incredibly delicious and extraordinary food one can imagine. I haven’t been this Wow’ed in a very long time. I thought somehow I had been magically transported to the Westside - no offense San Fernando, The chef, who is also the owner, is charming, with a great sense of humor. I swear, if he hadn’t been so focused on creating his delectable display of amazing food-art, he would be welcoming every customer as if they were a long-lost relative.
  
  Thank you Humble Bee, for coming to our humble little valley and for bringing your high quality food at such a reasonable price. You are, without a doubt, San Fernando’s local paradise; a place where we can go to experience the optimal levels of quality and care that you have so successfully provided for us.
  
  I am a writer and when I leave a review, I leave it with honesty and sincerity. If you read a bad review for these restaurants, please allow my review to over-ride it and remember that experiencing is believing. Take on the experience of Humble Bee - I’m certain you will be satisfied.

  The food is amazing. Be sure to try the fries! Skirt steak sandwich is delicious. Friendly staff. I’ll be coming back.

  I originally went here when it was Sol Bee, and enjoyed the tacos. I came back (1/13/23) and they have revamped the menu for breakfast and lunch but still have amazing options for allergy, vegetarian and meat eaters! I'm from Tucson,AZ which is a City of Gastronomy so I've been struggling to find great food but this is definitely hitting the spot!

  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.
