La Cabana Restaurant

Voted "Best Margarita" in L.A. on Citysearch.com in 2005

  • Late-night Dining till 3am
  • Now Delivers!
  • Genuine Taste of Mexico

Since 1963, La Cabana in Venice has been serving great Mexican food. A little senorita pats out thick tortillas by hand on a brick-layered fireplace and a festive strolling guitar trio takes you back to pueblos of Mexico. There's a colorful outdoor patio where you can wash down chips and salsa picosa with over 18 varieties of margaritas. La Cabana serves monster burritos and sopes made fresh from the tortilla comal. The Chile Rellenos are to die for and they have an excellent Carne Adobada (pork steak marinated in a smokey chile ancho and pasilla sauce).

Editorial Review for La Cabana Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Like a cozy Mexican cottage, the restaurant has dim lighting, arched entryways and terra-cotta overhangs. A tequila-drinking crowd is drawn to the partially covered, festively adorned patio. Tuxedo-clad servers deliver platters of Tex-Mex selections. Meat-filled empanadas with chipotle sauce is a popular starter. Entrees include steak picado, which is packed with chunks of beef in a mix of potatoes and vegetables. Handmade flour tortillas accompany most dishes, served hot off a large brick griddle.

I recently visited La Cabana and because I was waiting over 45 minutes for a table, I was at the bar with friends. My wallet was stolen from my purse while it was hanging, zipped over my chair. I was in my chair when it happened. Carlos, Barbara and the staff there have a tape of the incident that they will not release to me. They claim there is nothing to see on the tape. I personally, think they are hiding something. They are not investigators. I was violated on their property and while they pretend to be interested in my well being, all they want is to protect themselves. They are not taking responsibility and they are not doing anybody any favors, except for themselves, by documenting ongoings in their establishment and then not releasing it.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I love this place. The atmosphere is great and the food is authentic. I eat here about once a month. Yum!

Casual Venice crowd flocks well into the wee hours for standard Mexican fare and killer margaritas.  See the full editorial review.
