"Con Todo!"…read more Absolutely love this place. We stumbled upon this spot on a Sunday before going to the Farmer's Market across the street. With the intention of just enjoying a refreshing michelada, we couldn't help but try the tacos. AMAZING. The staff is very friendly and the food was definitely made with love. There's also plenty of space outside for the little one to walk around, a huge plus!

Highly recommend this place. Special shout-out to the awesome staff who genuinely add to the great experience with warmth and smile.

A Studio City staple, which requires a little attention to revamp it back to it's days of glory. The margaritas we ordered were average; the tajine rim had garlic and cumin which left a strong aftertaste. We ordered the tacos and carne asada. Both were flavorful and enjoyable. However, the carne asada was tough and dry. However, the tacos were spot on and delicious. We ordered one cripsy and one soft taco. Both perfectly prepared. Plenty of street and back alley parking, making this restaurant an easy, unpretentious cantina.

I feel like it's kinda hard to screw up Mexican food - this one just didn't hit the mark. Maybe it…read morewas an off night ? We came as a large group for a business dinner and the consensus was the salsa and guacamole were good but food was meh. Their margaritas seem to be hit and miss (first round was good allegedly then second round was bad). I ordered the ahi tacos upon recommendation of our server - it was gross. It was totally raw with a funky sweet sauce I didn't like. I couldn't even stomach finishing it and coming home, my stomach is upset .... It was also hella warm inside - they definitely needed some AC cranking on a hot 95 degree day. Service was also not terribly attentive. I would've like a refill on my coke but no one ever came by to ask me or offer it. The only positives were plentiful free parking in the back and reasonable prices. But honestly there are so many good Mexican places, I would be hesitant to come back here.

Very unique and delicious, highly recommend! Next we tried the taquitos, these were okay, a bit overly fried, but okay! Next we tried the Tinga tacos and we liked them, was expecting a lot more flavor from the chicken itself aside from the toppings! Had a glass of Rośe, it was good. Definitely coming back for the nachos and trying something outside of the Happy Hour menu which runs from 5pm-6:30, decent menu and options! Service was okay, ambiance was lively and happy!

Flavor wise delicious but definitely lacked any spiciness. Also appreciated getting a celebrity sighting! At first we were seated by the window but given the heat and lack of being able to feel the AC we were able to get moved to a different table which I greatly appreciated. I can't even describe all the food we got but my favorite for sure was the pulled beef taco, the chips and assortment of dips, and ahi tun. I absolutely will come back. I'd say desaert was my least favorite as the cake park of it was too dense for my liking. Parking was no sweat there is valley but costs a lot.

Lovely spot for Mexican food with fun vibes!…read more I came for Sunday brunch/lunch with some friends. I made a reservation through Yelp a couple days beforehand and there was plenty of availability. The restaurant is located right off Ventura Blvd and has an attached parking garage in the basement which can be accessed via the parking lot behind the restaurant. There were plenty of spots available Sunday afternoon when I came. It's a bit hidden, but there is an elevator from the garage to the top level where the restaurant is located as well. We had two babies in strollers with us, so I requested a table with plenty of space nearby for the strollers. They seated us outside on their covered patio, and indeed, we had plenty of space. I peeked inside and there's also a nice lounge area with a beautiful flower wall as well as a proper dining area. When we arrived, there was a live DJ spinning tunes. I assume he's there during brunch hours, as he left around 3 pm when brunch ended. I started with a frozen lime margarita ($12). It was okay; it felt like it was only half frozen as the ice wasn't blended that well. For my main, I got the famous Anejo carne asada and shrimp plate for $40. Yes it was pricy, but the portion size was also huge! I was starving and somehow managed to finish the plate, but it'd be a great dish to share for two people with small appetites. I really enjoyed it as well. I asked for the steak to be cooked rare, and they didn't overcook it. Each bite was super tender and flavorful and paired well with the rice. Everyone else also enjoyed their dish. One friend got the wet chicken burrito for $15 and it was massive! Another got the veggie fajitas with steak added and really enjoyed her dish as well. Solid food all around. I would love to come back on a weekday and try their happy hour! Sipping on $5 margaritas and $6 sangrias sounds like my idea of a great time!

My favorites are the KILLER HOT and the SHARKY'S salsas. Their AVOCADO salsa is also very tasty. GO-TO FAVES include the Grilled Fish Taco on a corn tortilla. Seasoned and grilled to perfection on a regular basis. I get mine with no Pico de Gallo as I like to layer on some very hot salsa instead (KILLER HOT) and I get it without the cheese to keep it lower in fat and calories. NEVER disappoints. Their Nachos are a treat when I'm breaking my diet. :) Shrimp Tacos are really good as are the protein plates which can be customized and are a very healthy, well-prepared meal every time. You order at the counter -- and a nice touch is they ask if you want chips while you wait. Their water is also a nice touch -- it's got lemon, cucumber, etc. in the water which gives it a refreshing spa-like feel. They also have really good iced tea. You grab your own beverages and I highly recommend both the water (free!!) and the iced tea. The staff here is wonderful -- an active management team that works the floor, checks in on guests, and generally just makes everyone feel welcome, along with the hard-working kitchen team and the young team that takes the orders and puts together the take-away options. They are a smooth-running, very friendly and kind operation there. I love Sharky's. I grew up in this area and remember when it was Twain's. Sharky''s is a great addition to the area - good, solid Mexican food with plenty of healthy options. Something for anyone in your group here.

I love the food and the atmosphere and the staff is always pleasant. The wait can take a while because they are so popular being a 'valley institution' that everyone must try at least once. And as always, parking anywhere in the area is always an adventure. They do have valet, but it can get busy as well.

Birthday Ruined My friend and I made a reservation and…read morespecifically reserved the "Brad Pitt" booth because when i asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday, that was all she wanted to do... go to Casa Vega ( her first time) and sit in that booth. When we got there, the guy who sat us told us we couldn't have the table we had specifically reserved because we were a party of 2 and that was a table for 4. They weren't even busy! The place was pretty empty and they could've easily accommodated us. We even told them it was my friend's birthday and they didn't care. Then, they proceeded to seat us at a 2 person table that was across from a really old gentleman who was with a super young girl (who could've been his granddaughter- to each his own, but didn't want to see that all night. When we asked for a different table they said the others were all reserved... hmmm interesting that I didn't see anyone sit there during our time there. We finally ended up outside (yes, in the hot, super humid weather). Needless to say worst birthday dinner and we WILL NOT be going back there!
