Great food and service at a reasonable price

by tgibbon

I have eaten here on and off for 17 years, I live in NY and whenever I'm in LA I make a point of eating here. It feels like being part of the family in this family run restaurant.

The food is consistently good and the drinks terrific.

• Pros: Friendly service, authentic food
• Cons: Can be slow when they're busy

Worst Margarita ever!

by Lolalott

My husband and I are new to the area and were craving mexican food on a Friday night. The only Mexican food place around Culver City, where we live and that looks decent seems to be LA Ballona. After waiting for a very long time for service, we finally ordered our drinks and food. The margarita that I had been craving since Thursday, arrived w/ 7 melted ice cubes and tasted of sugar water. Since the tequila seemed to have been missing from the drink, I brought this to the attention of my waiter, who then went to the bar and poured a shot on top of the drink with out bothering to mix it up. He should have remade the drink. I couldn't even choke it down. The food was not good. I think our server is an owner or the son of the owner...He is very preoccupied, not professional. Don't go there.

Great family run local restaurant for over 50 years.

by NativeCalifornian

This place is family owned for over 50 years and the two charming blonde Spanish sisters serving here have been here the whole time. Service is warm, friendly, and inviting.

The margaritas are tasty and strong the way I like them. The food is fresh and delicious. I have only found one thing on the menu that was not delicious and that was because the highest price thing on the menu, the bacon wrapped fillet mignon, is very salty.

The chips are usually great, sometimes not so great.

Tacos are always excellent and irresistible.

Very reliable tasty food and excellent appreciative staff. Kitchen staff must be fantasic because this place is shiney clean and the food is consistantly delicious.

• Pros: Tacos, carnitas, maragaritas always great. Friendly Service!
• Cons: Parking can be tricky when movie theaters are busy.
