“ The filet mignon fajitas was bomb! Added shrimp for extra 5. Amazing food. So tasty and perfect portions. Drinks- Jalapeno Cucumber margarita was delicious. Service was excellent as well. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and got a table near TV to watch our LA Dodger game with our 6 yr old son who’s a huge fan!! The only hard thing was finding parking. But it is Hollywood so we expected that. Luckily we found one right in front of the restaurant. Overall, excellent experience and we will definitely return soon! Thank you La Villita Cantina cooks, waiters, host, and of course bar tender. You are all doing a great job running your restaurant. ”
“ This place just opened up and the food is deliciously awesome. A wide variety of taco options, ranging from meat to fish, will make your tongue dance, and the warm chips along with guacamole are an absolute must. Their bowls are served on a plate, and I highly recommend the Al Pastor one. The cauliflower is unique and the meat is soft like butter and very juicy. Lastly I'm really excited about the fact that they have stunning moctails. Rumors has it that they will serve a mango one. Their staff is super friendly, attentative and the prices are absolutely fair. You will not be disappointed. I highly recommend this place. Check it out! ”
“ I teach at a nearby elementary school, and this is our go-to spot for staff celebrations and happy hours. DELICIOUS food, good drinks, and always a fun time. I am grateful for the modern and exciting vegetarian options. ”
“ I didn't know that I have such a good restaurant right behind the corner! It's great because you can come here as vegan or non vegan together and both have great meal. The vegan menu is so good, so you can eat regular diet and order it without disappointment! My not vegan husband loved the vegan Korean chicken taco. I loved the vegan Baja fish taco so much. The cauliflower taco was also surprisingly full of flavor, I loved the cabbage and tahini dressing. The side of refried beans was fresh and delicious. My husband loved his mole enchilada, and we both loved the vegan Caesar salad. In the end we got also a yummy vegan dessert, which was gluten-free bread pudding with coffee ice cream! It was all so good! We are coming back! The staff is extraordinary nice and attentive. To everyone who is reading these reviews about high prices, I am adding a picture of our receipt... ”
“ Love this place and the block!! Lot of fun options including a comedy club! The jalapeno cucumber margarita is spot on and may have to try a mojito. Great Happy Hour menu from 3-6 every day. Can't beat 7 margaritas, especially ones that are made perfectly! :) ”

“ Cool Mexican restaurant in LA with great food and service. The Vegan El Dorado bowl was very tasty and the guacamole was really good. ”
