Great food, HIGH prices and HORRIBLE attitude.

ok, to be honest, the food here is awesome, they give you plenty and it is SOOO good.

you ready for the cons?

they are very high, its mexician food for gods sake, 5 of us costed $109.00 and 1 person had a margarita, the rest had cokes.

i have lived in sherman oaks my whole life and i took some friends from out of town here and the place wasnt busy. We went in and told them we wanted a table for 5 but only 3 of the 5 were there, the other 2 were driving and they were like 2 miles away, they would NOT seat us until the other 2 got there, which was ridicious. So we ordered, ate and when we were done we asked for doggy bags, they brought them and we asked if they had any little syrofoam bowls where we could put some salsa in to take home with our meals, guess what the waiter said......he said we can not take the salsa home...WE CAN NOT TAKE THE SALSA HOME!!! we were dumbfounded, was this magic salsa? were we gonna take it to a chemist and get the ingredients analyzed? it was unbelievable.

the attitude on the entire staff was horrible, it wasnt one or two unhappy employees, it was all of them.

so after my houseguests left the following day, i told my sister who loves casa vega too our little salsa experience, and she wasnt surprised, she said they are the rudest people around, i guess because they have SO many customers, it doesnt matter if they lose a couple.

so i recommend going somewhere else, there are so many other mexician places in that area who treat their customers like guests.

Like being ripped off?

I brought my friend for lunch. Although the margaritas tasted good, they called the drink a double (joke) and it cost $27.50 for two. The food was even worse. The pork tostada had about 5 little pieces of meat and mostly iceberg lettuce. Over all - a waste of money and time. Taco Bell is better!

poor excuse for mexican food

by margie2265 at Citysearch

i don't know how this place hasn't closed yet. the food is greasy and unappetizing, the service is SLOW and the prices are too high for the caliber of food that it is. the fames margaritas aren't any better than i can make in my blender at home, except i wouldn't be using CHEAP tequila to make them. and by the way, are the lights that dim so you don't see the quality of your food and the tackiness of the decor?

• Cons: slow service, cheap quality food

Tried this place due to readership ratings - am not sure what they were thinking, this place serves AVERAGE Mexican fare. Better options are available, no doubt.

• Cons: Average Food, Average Service

I tried this place and afterwards tried to figure out why it is so popular. The food was not bad, but it was far from exceptional. After reviewing the posts, it appears many talk about the Margaritas more than the food. At any rate we feel CV is OK if you are in the area, but we would not consider going out of our way to eat here.
