our new favorite mexican food joint!
by sidandsophia at Citysearch
we used to live on the westside and would gravitate towards don antonio's on pico whenever we craved tacos and margaritas. now that we're in the sgv, goodbye don antonio's and hello carambas! how can you disagree with $3.75 margaritas?! service is quick and easy and they're flexible with combo additions. i always get the flautas, which are hot and crunchy, though the tamales are just right saucy and moist. the rice and beans, which are simple enough, are always my marker for a good mexican restaurant. caramba's does both well.
- Pros: cozy hole-in-the-wall feeling, consistently good food
- Cons: parking can be a bit trying and they need bigger tvs!
Hidden Treasure!

It's hidden in the edges between Alhambra and Los Angeles. It's not easy to spot, you'll know it by word of mouth. But if you ever encounter those words, then consider yourself very lucky, because you're in for a treat of REAL Mexican cuisine! It's a restaurant with absolutely no windows, just walls and dimmed lights and most of all, delicious food and drinks. Great Ceviches!!!
- Pros: food, $$
- Cons: , limited seating
B+

The food was delicious and authentic. I recommend it. The atmosphere is very homely and the food was good. The service was also a delight. I recommend this place if you want to grab a casual bite to eat.
- Pros: Food, Price
