Good standard mexican food. Festive atmosphere on back patio. Food comes fast and sometimes feels like they are trying to churn but it's not overly aggressive. Was $50 for two with tip and no drinks for plenty of food. PRO TIP: Park on Rose on the other side of Lincoln. risky to park in the Whole Foods lot which is usually monitored.
Before I moved away years ago, this was always my favourite Mexican restaurant in LA. On my most recent visit to my home town we stopped here for lunch, and they still do the best chile rellenos I've ever had. And although we were there too early in the day, I was pleased to hear that the woman is still hand-patting and grilling corn tortillas for evening diners.
We spent the day in Venice and were looking for a nice spot to eat some dinner. Let me tell you this place was so good we were a party of 12 6 adults six kids. It was our first time eating here and we were very satisfied. The waiters were very attentive before we could say we needed a refill they were bringing it. Food is authentic Mexican food and not Americanized which is what we wanted we ordered carnitas and barbacoa and Chile rellenos to the kids ordering cheeseburger taco dorados and taquitos plain. Definitely recommend and definitely will be again when we return to Venice. Which is like a 10 minute walk from the rose parking lot at the beach.
La Cabana is a must go. Home made chips, killer salsa and strong margaritas, beautiful interior and professional and courteous service.
Always good service and good food. For many years of operating whether sit down or takeout, no complaints. Staff is helpful and professional.Great place for yourself or with someone.Venice is a changing but some things stay the same in a good way.
I'm not from California or southwest, so I may not be used to great Mexican food. But this is the best Mexican food I've had, made better with great surroundings. The inside of the place has decor like a Mexican mansion with great tilework and there's an oven making fresh tortillas right in front of you.Drinks are mostly different kinds of margaritas, but they have a few generic beers in bottles. The salsa dip for the tortilla chips was fairly hot; it was great but just a heads up. All the food was good but order the full plates to get a real taste of what they offer.
The go to place for authentic Mexican food for the past few decades. Love their nachos and the hot salsa, the food was as usual outstanding. Only the margarita was s but below their usual excellent standard.
La Cabana is an absolute gem - wonderful service, food, atmosphere. Highly recommend!
Me and my girl got the most amazing service since the moment we walked into the restaurant we were greeted super fast and politely, seated quick and the food was spectacular! As an authentic Mexican I was amazed with our food! We ordered jalapeno poppers as an appetizer and they were absolutely delicious, and for our entree we ordered the rib eye and shrimp medium rare and everything was cooked to perfection. It's crazy how when we looked this place up online it only showed 4.3 stars but in reality they deserve 5 stars!! Sorry for not having pictures but our food was soo delicious that we forgot to take pictures. WILL BE OUR GO TO IN VENICE BEACH!!
The meals are expensive for average food. I’m Hispanic and I know very well what good rice taste like. Everything feels microwaved. I don’t know, it’s overrated for me
