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.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Great food. I got the cheese enchilada combo and the enchiladas were amazing. Their salsa and chips are great too. I liked it because it wasn't heavy, sometimes Mexican restaurants make their food too heavy, too cheesy, greasy, etc. but La Cabana doesn't. Their food is awesome and does not leave you feeling bloated. I ate the whole plate and I'm a tiny person and didn't feel full. It was great. Cool atmosphere too, and fun singers!

Pros: Great Food, Open late, Fun atmosphere, Great place to come with friends

Cons: Parking is hard, & it gets very busy here

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
