    2 Taco Plate, Guacomole (4 oz), Carne Asada tacos
    Niree S.

    I was craving some Mexican food while in the city of Montrose and La Cabanita had the highest reviews of all the Mexican restaurants in the area so I decided to give them a try. We walked in at 8 PM, an hour before closing, and the game had just started on the TV screen. We decided to order their tacos because they come with homemade tortillas. I must say the tacos were delicious! They came with black beans and rice and a side of pico de gallo. We also got their guacamole and some sour cream on the side. I ordered an Horchata drink, but I did not like it very much, it tasted watered down and not as good as other ones I've had before. Next time I would return to try some more tacos and a margarita instead.

    Corn Soup
    Jenny A.

    This place was so delicious! It was my first time here and I thought the place was super cute, and the server who waited on our table was so sweet. I got the corn soup, and the enchiladas verde with chicken and it was all really yummy! They had some of the best chips I've ever had. The place is really loud though, the walls don't have the best acoustics so it's a little hard to hear your party talking so just keep that in mind but I think they might have a smaller room that is probably better for smaller parties? Not sure though But all in all, this place was amazing and can't wait to come back and try something new!

    Finally found a solid Mexican breakfast place that reminds me of Mexico City! A hidden gem close to the Montrose Farmer's Market so you can walk around after eating a delicious meal. I really like all the breakfast dishes we got and appreciated how big the portions were! For the machaca norteña, the eggs were seasoned and had the perfect inclusions. Everything tasted amazing wrapped in a tortilla especially with the beans. The omelet with chipotle had a slight kick to it and great flavor!

    One of the great Mexican brunches in LA. We ordered Huevos Rancheros (because I missed it!) and Carnitas La Cabanita. I finished the Huevos Rancheros as it is a simple dish with two sunny-side-up eggs and corn tortillas underneath plus black beans. The lean pork is soft from the Carnitas dish which includes rice and salad. Cafe De Olla is my kind of coffee and theirs has a subtle cinnamon flavor but you can still taste it which I liked. Their green and red sauce as well as chips are soooo good! Come by and try! The staff are attentive and observant. Their service is excellent! The place is clean and the ambiance is quiet. People seem to enjoy the food. I would love to come back again. 5/5 on this one

    The chilaquiles were very good; crispy and with a little kick but not too spicy. The burrito was also very good. We really liked the tortilla chips and the salsa verde. We ordered a margarita pitcher which served about 4 glasses. The service was very good and our waiter was super friendly. Will definitely come back to try another dish. Live their mural also!

    Found this restaurant while in the city for a baseball game. It was open. It was busy. It was 10 AM. Staff was friendly and seated me quickly. It was early but still very charming and lively. I ordered the tacos de arrachondo (I believe). Food came out quickly. My tab was $21. No complaints because of the service, large plate, and the food was REALLY good

    Appetizer platter
    Allyssa C.

    We enjoy going to this restaurant and love to bring family and friends, even though it's not the biggest they can still accommodate large parties. If you come with the least six people, we recommend getting the appetizer platter. It comes with a little of everything, including quesadillas, taquitos, cheese, carnitas, guacamole, and much more. Love coming for their lunchtime specials good deal for the amount of food you get if you go on the weekend you can get as one of the soups and their pozole is amazing! There is a ton of street parking. Just remember to curb your reels so that you don't get a ticket. The staff is very attentive and helpful. If you have any questions we've been coming here for years and we love bringing our friends and family.

    Chicken Flautas
    Eric P.

    Tried this Mexican restaurant out for the first time. It's a really nice local spot. It can be a challenge to find street parking so give yourself enough time. There is no restaurant parking lot that I know of. And depending on where you park, don't forget to curb your wheels. There were a few people waiting outside and when we entered, wow it was busy. Not in a bad way. It has a nice neighborhood family vibe to it. Love the interior design. A little snug and consists of a few sections. There's also a bar. We had a large group and were seated in the back where there was more space and tables. We were given chips and salsa, which were pretty good. I ate a ton before the meal and during. I ordered the Chicken flautas plate. The flautas were crispy and juicy. Easy to bite into and not tough. So good with the guacamole on top. And the beans and rice kept me eating nonstop lol. Nothing left on this place. I had it with a negra modelo and it was a perfect meal spent with new and old friends. Definitely worth a visit!

    Street Taco al pastor
    Mary K.

    This place is probably the only good Mexican restaurant in the area. I love their salsas with the chips I always ask for extra. The street al pastor tacos were just okay but the other three tacos were pretty good! I liked the tortilla it came with so much better and the meats had way more flavor. I would come back and get more of those tacos. The blended margarita was just okay I barely tasted alcohol I'll probably do on the rocks next time. Service can be slow if it's busy. Overall good spot for lunch in this area!

    I've been coming here for years and the food here is consistently good. I live the chips and salsas always. The La Cabañita chili relleno is one of my favorites.

    Highly recommend! Classic Glendale establishment!…read more The Famous has been under new ownership, a lovely woman, who has great new ideas for the bar. Lots of themed nights and engaging activities to really bring the community together. I love the creative and fun cocktails. Lots of asian themes but also traditional tiki drinks. Unfortunately parking may be a bit tough (you'll need to walk) - either street parking (paid in front), free street parking in the residential, or parking at the mall

    (Drank 03/28/26 SA @ 6:00pm): How famous was this bar in Glendale?…read more After a late-afternoon film at the nearby AMC The Americana At Brand 18, my friend and I walked around a bit and eventually found ourselves at The Famous Bar. With the seemingly ever-changing landscape along Brand Blvd. in downtown Glendale, this establishment has been around since 2012 (which I believe was the first and only time I came here). Primarily known for its inventive craft cocktails and a killer whiskey selection, it was a nice place to sneak away into before or after your main event... or, maybe this could be the place to spend an entire evening. Would this bar famously make an impression on me to remember to return in the future!? PURCHASE(S) Fremont Brewing Dark Star Double Oatmeal Imperial Stout Beer 8.00% ABV 16floz Draft ($6.00 HH; Reg. $9.00): Dark brown color, coffee oatmeal roasty aroma, medium body, chocolate coffee oatmeal roasty toasty flavor, mouthfeel smooth finish, and coffee oatmeal roasty toasty aftertaste. This was a really tasty brew and my favorite of the two! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=ad_C9YTJYF9lVr2FOEQLkg 12" Margherita Pizza ($20.00 HH; Reg. $26.00): A simple pizza with a somewhat thin crust that was kind of cardboardy, the flavor was rather pedestrian with chewy mozzarella although the basil was fragrant and fresh. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=kdkvUttCLmMOAGQ1nyp5tg Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. Danish Red Amber Lager Beer 5.50% ABV 16floz Draft ($5.00 HH; Reg. $8.00): Dark amber red color, malty allspice aroma, low body, malty sweet flavor, clean smooth finish, and malty sweet aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=QQjsTWce5Lstcxj5PowrYw Steak Fries ($7.00 HH; Reg. $9.00): This was an impulse buy as something to pair with my second beer. A decent portion-sized snack, each spud stick was hot, steaming, and thick and came with a side of ketchup. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=GVoy0nzxFUL6rHWaxNdG7Q SERVICE We were warmly greeted by a sole young woman behind the bar who handed us a menu and directed us to sit anywhere. After a few minutes of reviewing the menu, we each placed our order at the bar, our drinks were delivered quickly while the food took mere minutes to arrive at the table. We had to approach the bar each time we ordered something, but any empty glasses and plates were collected at the table. Once we closed out our tabs, we were thanked for coming as we headed out into the night. Everything was chill and easy - thank you! PARKING (Varied; FREE this instance): I parked in the nearby original Glendale Galleria parking structure and simply walked over first to The Americana then to this place. Otherwise, there was limited parking along the main drag of Brand Blvd. and other surrounding side streets, the nearby Glendale Galleria II parking structure, The Americana parking structure that offered validation, numerous public transportation options, and rideshares - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A dark cavernous speakeasy-like place with open space, various tables and couches strewn about, and a large long somewhat decorative bar with an impressive whiskey selection displayed behind it. I appreciated the exposed brick walls which gave it that old-time feel with a few framed pictures hung on them. Minimal natural lighting came through the front doors and windows while minimal electric ceiling lights filled in rest. There was at least one projection TV where we watched the Dodgers game while music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=SomLKsk1KVcemeOCHGOZfg ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL It was nice to slip into The Famous Bar for the first time in over a decade, and if I found myself spending time in downtown Glendale again, I'd consider another visit. Sadly, I try to avoid the highly congested area as much as possible. I loved the fact that they had a daily happy hour (4pm-7pm) and late-night SU-TH happy hours (10:30pm-close), so there was always a deal to be found. The drinks were the main reason you came, while the food was just an add-on. The prices were elevated, but you had a good menu selection of libations (nice local craft beer list) to choose from. The customer service was easy, friendly, and straightforward. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $42.00 BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

I thought that they possibly had a happy hour, but either they stopped it, or they didn't advertise it. I think a happy hour would help draw a bit of a crowd and get more people there. They have a good selection of spirits and a handful of beer on tap. Overall, it was a fine visit for a drink, but was not very memorable or anything that would justify 5 stars. I'll probably try out somewhere different next time before heading to dinner. They have outdoor and indoor seating, and the over ambiance is fine. Not too loud and not too quiet. Service was nothing more than asking what you want to drink and then bringing it to you. No recommendations

They had the hockey game on, which I definitely appreciated, and they also have a pool table where you can write your name down to play. Not sure if there's a charge for that, but either way, it's a nice touch. They're open pretty late, and while the location doesn't have a bunch of other bars or spots around, the upside is tons of parking--which I totally love.
