Service was great!! Food was okay. The homemade tortillas were hot and fresh. And the chocolate cake was hard and dry. And the down side was the parking. They have no designated parking lots. We had to park across the busy street at a grocery store next to unhoused camps. Didn't feel too safe.
My wife and I held our wedding rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks here. Carlos and Vicky did such an amazing job!! The staff was so attentive and everything was set up perfectly!! The food is great too. Would recommend for any event or just for a dinner!
I'm not from California or southwest, so I may not be used to great Mexican food. But this is the best Mexican food I've had, made better with great surroundings. The inside of the place has decor like a Mexican mansion with great tilework and there's an oven making fresh tortillas right in front of you.
Drinks are mostly different kinds of margaritas, but they have a few generic beers in bottles. The salsa dip for the tortilla chips was fairly hot; it was great but just a heads up. All the food was good but order the full plates to get a real taste of what they offer.
We spent the day in Venice and were looking for a nice spot to eat some dinner. Let me tell you this place was so good we were a party of 12 6 adults six kids. It was our first time eating here and we were very satisfied. The waiters were very attentive before we could say we needed a refill they were bringing it. Food is authentic Mexican food and not Americanized which is what we wanted we ordered carnitas and barbacoa and Chile rellenos to the kids ordering cheeseburger taco dorados and taquitos plain. Definitely recommend and definitely will be again when we return to Venice. Which is like a 10 minute walk from the rose parking lot at the beach.
Very cute restaurant! The burrito was huge and very tasty! I got a fish taco that was excellent, a shrimp taco that was good and a beef taco that was also good.
While down here from Canada on vacation, my wife and I came here strictly because this was my father in-law's favorite restaurant in the 70's when he lived in Santa Monica! And boy did it ever impress. The service was attentive and the staff were friendly. We came at lunch time and we got two lunch specials for $12.75 each. I got the beef tacos and my wife got the chicken enchiladas. Both plates came with beans and rice. Both plates were very filling. There was also complimentary chips that came prior to our meal arriving. This restaurant has been around since the early sixties, and we can see why. Its also open until 3:00am for those who are hungry for a late night meal.
No nonsense Mexican institution with hand made in house tortillas which are out of this world. Servers are friendly and efficient and the maitre D is a legend. Margaritas are so good you won’t even notice them slip down until you stand up. Casa Vega level good. Classic interior decor and cozy outdoor patio dining options available. Food is solid and they’ll seat you late with no bother which is perfect for my eclectic schedule. Terrific.
Homemade tortillas are outstanding! Fajitas were awesome! Large portions. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend.
Wow, I love it 💖🖤, the food at least my nachos were really good and the serving was nice and big. I think more restaurants should be open space as this one was... u can see the night sky ✨ 🌃🌌... the decoration was so nice and customer service was great. And they don't charge you for chips and salsa... will be back again. Wish I took better and more photos. Cute little place
My husband and I have been coming here since 2001. His family has been coming here since all his siblings were small.
It has been our romantic date place!
Since the pandemic, things have changed a lot as far as usual menu items like steak picado.
This was our dish, but they took it off the menu. The kids portions are large, which is good.
We still enjoy the chips though, and we spread butter on them and dip in the chili sauce. Delicious. I could go just for chips and drinks.
Their Cadillac Margarita used to come with a shot on the side, but they didn't do that the last time we visited.
But, one thing has not changed...the flan! Still delicious and the recipe hasn't changed after all these years. Great service, with some of the waters being there for more than 20 years.
