Sooooooo good and unique, with attentive service. Excellent chips and salsa as well. La Cabanita stands in its own category and have been coming here for years. Thank you from @michelle_merchantservices read more

La Cabañita - Tacos de Rajas con Crema and mole Enchiladas De Mole - Mexican Near Me - Glendale, California

La Cabañita has quickly become a staple in my household. My first meal after birth was La cabañitas Caldo de Pollo. (that was also my first time trying La cabañita) I quickly became a fan as the taste was so homey, authentic, and delicious! Moving to Glendale from LA, it was extremely hard finding a good authentic Mexican restaurant until we tried La Cabañita, and now we have it once or twice a month. Service is always great, very attentive, and fast. Highly recommend the caldo de pollo, carne asada plate, pozole, chiles rellenos, street tacos (barbacoa is our fav). read more

Went for lunch at this place. I'll say the food is good. I had the soup lunch special. The value for lunch is would say is very good. On the menu, it says it includes a soda, but it also includes other drinks. Just ask, and they'll tell you. I would recommend this place. A couple of notes that I think they could work on are greeting you when you arrive. We walked in, and one guy just looked at us and continued doing whatever he was doing. There's a tablet to check in to be seated as you walk in. We put our name down and saw we were second in line. So we waited outside, thinking it shouldn't take long. As we're sitting outside, we see other people just walk in and get seated. So we go in and ask when we could be seated. The same guy from earlier looks confused and tells us we can sit at any table. We sit down order and have our lunch. I kid you not our name was still on the wait list even after we left. If they fix that little problem it would be just fine. read more

I love the Sopes here and the Sopes I just picked up (to-go only during the coronavirus pandemic) were just as good as they always are! I ordered the Sopes Compuestos (three sopes topped with chicken, chorizo and picadillo); the toppings were rich and delicous. What's a sope? More info on sopes here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sope I also ordered Pozole (hominy stew), a satisying homey dish perfect for rainy days and pandemics. I found my virgin Margarita-to-go refreshing and fun during these troubled times (virgin only for health reasons, believe me.) And a gigantic bag of super fresh tortilla chips and salsa sealed the deal. They are complying with all county orders; no one was in the restaurant when I picked up my order. I would ask them to be able to take credit cards over the phone rather than making customers sign in person. Provecho y salud! read more

Best Mexican food in Montrose, best chips and salsa hands down. Love bringing friends and family there when we wanna go out for Mexican food. read more

Love going there, lots of fun & authentic old skool Mexican. DONT however order takeout. Everything is extra, salsa,crema,jalapenos & a teenie cup of guacamole for $4.50!!! I ended up spending double what I would have spent if I had eaten there plus tip. $51 for one order of chicken fajitas with chips & extras??????????? Not nice. read more

Consistently good food. Always clean and nice. Attentive Servers. I enjoy the Chiles Marinara. The chicken soup is amazing. We are always happy here. read more

Met a friend here and really loved the food and received excellent service. I ventured out of my comfort zone to try the three chiles...one traditional with cheese, one vegetable, and one with chicken. Each one was great and had their own sauce. The server was very pleasant and inviting. I was visiting the area, but I will recommend to friends and come back again when next in the area. read more

My family's new go-to Mexi-Cali spot in La Crescenta-Montrose area (hyphens galore!). This restaurant has got the Mexican decor spot on with the colorful walls, vibrant sombreros, festive flags, and a gigantic cactus next to the restroom door. It really transports you to Mexico, and I love everything about it. My dad always get the Dos Equis lager here (so bomb) and he drinks it while admiring the blue and gold sombrero because he has an identical one in his sombrero collection at home. I've been here twice and got the carnitas a la cabanita twice. It's so good!! Not your traditional shredded carnitas. They take lean pork and fry it. Comes with rice, savory beans, salad, guacamole/salsa, and the best homemade tortillas. Also every table gets a bowl of chips and two different salsas with unlimited refills. Each plate goes for about $12-18. I usually expect to pay a little over 20 a head after taxes/tip. Prices are steep but portions are generous and food is delicioso. Parking is limited to street or the small lot in front of Schreiner's. It gets poppin around 5pm. Expect to wait if you go any time after 5:30pm. Space is definitely accommodating for large parties or an intimate date. It can get loud because the space is tight, and the restaurant is almost always full. Service is fantastic. Everyone is always super nice and accommodating. My favorite part of this restaurant is the "mi casa es is casa" sign outside the entrance door. La Cabanita is an asset to the Montrose restaurant community! read more

We had a great time here. The service was very friendly and very attentive. Ambiance is very family oriented. I'll be honest, the dishes we had were just ok but my Michelada was delicious and hit the spot so based on that and the great service, we will be coming back and trying other dishes. read more

Still a favorite! Last review was 2013 so happy to report they survived Covid shutdown and the increase in prices (like everywhere) is evident. It is still worth every penny! Our go to for Breakfast are the Huevos Divorciados that come with chilaquiles-YUM!!! Lunch or Dinner is still Chicken Enchiladas or sopes or yes, their chicken soup!! its all good! I have noticed the cook might have changed, some things are slightly different but still loyal to this place!! read more

This restaurant used to be the best place for Mexican food in this neighborhood. That meant a lot because the majority of the restaurants here suck. Since the last time I ate here the overall quality has gone down. The Caldo De Pollo (Chicken Soup) was probably the best chicken soup I've had the first time I tried it, but during my recent visit it tasted so incredibly bland it makes me want to never order it again. The Puerco En Salsa Verde (Pork chunks in green sauce) still tasted nice and tangy, but it seemed like they significantly cut down the size of the portions and on top of that, the prices for it and some of their entrées went up to the 20s. The Puerco costing $23. It's a tasty meal, but for $23 that's a hard sell. At its current state I don't think I'll come here again. read more

After a beautiful tulip-filled walk at Descanso, we stopped by La Cabanita for dinner and had a wonderful visit. This time, we requested that all the food be served hot, and they did a great job bringing out everything as requested. The stuffed chiles (combo with cabanita, nogada & rellenos) and enchiladas de mole were just as good as we remembered. The chips were all fresh and the carrot soup was spot on. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Montrose and definitely my favorite Mexican food in the area. The cucumber jalapeño marg is great, the service is always excellent, and the decor is so vibrant. 10 out of 10! read more

I've never been to Mexico City but the claim is this place is authentic to it. It's certainly unique compared with other Mexican food you get in LA, commonly topped with melted cheese. Lots of unique dishes for sure. It can get quite busy with people waiting outside not being uncommon. read more

Went with family for a friend's birthday. The food here is always consistent. The cream of corn soup and the carrot soup are super delicious. I love La Cabanita's salsas, they give one green, and one black. It's not very spicy, but they have good flavor. I've tried a lot of their dishes at this point and there has not been a single one that has disappointed as they've all been great! Last time I got the carnitas and man, the meat was so good! My family loves La Cabanita. read more

The chips and salsa were fresh and flavorful. I ordered migas which are chilaquiles with chicken or beef. I got mine with chicken and went with the mole sauce. This meal was very tasty and filling. The service at La Cabañita was excellent in every way. The servers were friendly and attentive. They made the customers feel welcome. I am really glad I visited today and would recommend this restaurant. read more

I came here on a Sunday afternoon because I was craving Mexican food. It seems like a great staple for the locals around. The service wasn't as bad as has been posted in the reviews, but they do not check for vaccinations cards or really space out tables when it gets busy. The works are all wearing masks and gloves though. The chips and salsa are bomb! We got the chicken tostados and the carne aside tacos plate. Overall for the carne aside tacos I would have to say that it was mediocre 2.5/5 unfortunately. The meat itself was a bit tough and the flavor was a bit lacking. The chicken tostados were better overall especially with the salsa but I think comparatively to other Mexican joints in LA it's average. Will be back to try other things on the menu still have hopes for this place read more

Non-authentic Mexican food. Burritos came with no beans and I even stabbed the roof of my mouth with the shredded chicken burrito bone (see picture). Horchata tasted like it was made from premade mix powder. Staff was nice, but I'm not there to eat staff. read more

Chiles Marineros are absolutely one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life. The salsas are also two of the best I've ever had.

Horrible overpriced and 18% service charge automatically added! Really! Save ur money and time go to a taco truck instead

The food was pretty good, the service was pretty good, the drinks were very good, but the Corn Soup is epic! This place is a little tricky to find if you're not familiar with the area. Google Maps directs you to their back entrance, which doesn't very clear signage. That said, it was worth it! read more

This review is based on pre-Covid experiences. La Cabanita is one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. Everything I've gotten here has been fabulous. For starters, let's talk about the chips and salsa. I could make an entire meal of it. SO GOOD. The entrees are outstanding. My daughter loves the flautas. Both chicken and beef have been excellent. My husband and I love the enchiladas and the stuffed poblanos. The corn soup is divine. The drinks are festive (and generous). Moreover, the restaurant is wonderful for groups. The wait is never long, even during peak hours. Service is brisk without being hurried, and attentive without being intrusive. We had everything we needed, when we needed it, but without feeling like staff was in our grill the entire time. A superb dining experience! read more

The food and drinks are amazing. I had the tacos and we loved it! I can't wait to go back.

Great food and drinks. Parking can be challenging and sometimes the wait times is long. Need to make reservations if you want to be seated right away. This is a really good Mexican restaurant and great atmosphere. They make all their own sauces from scratch, and their Mole is quite delicious. I do love their salsas too! Definitely recommend this place!!! read more

I had dinner a few night ago with my friends and we all enjoyed our food and the whole experience. Salsa and chips to start was delish and the veggie enchilada and tacos were sooo good.

One of our favorite restaurants! We were so glad to support. We ordered a bag of chips that came with all the salsas, my favorite-cream of corn soup, flautas-one of each beef, chicken, potato, and sopped compuesto. It was so nice to see familiar faces as the servers quickly distributed take out. Hand sanitizer conveniently placed at the tables. Although we ordered takeout, the restaurant was busy with customers dining in. Everything tasted delicious-even better than we remembered. If you're thinking of giving La Cabanita a try, don't hesitate any longer. read more

Delicious Mexican restaurant in Montrose. All the food was excellent...from the mole & poblano enchiladas to the chips and salsa. House made chips with a variety of salsas that were all very tasty. Didn't try the margaritas but they looked great as well. Take out or outdoor dining available. Only downside was the online ordering experience (have to go to third party site & create an account to order yet you still can't pay online and have to do so in person, also not available on Door Dash or GrubHub either). But overall definitely recommended if you are craving some delicious Mexican food! read more

Food and service were great. Easy to get into on Saturday night, we all enjoyed ourselves

Craving Mexican food, I found this place listed under "Best Mexican Restaurants" as "Best Hidden Gem" in Glendale, where I was staying while visiting Los Angeles. The interior was colorful with decorated paper in pink, blue, orange, yellow and green hanging from the ceiling. The walls were bright orange and there was a very homey, chill vibe. Upon being seated, we were served complimentary chips with 2 different types of dip: Savory, slightly spicy green colored dip and a sweeter, deep brown colored dip. The chips were wonderfully thick with great crunchiness. Of course I had to get the Hochata, which was pretty good. It wasn't as sweet as I am used to, but still tasted delightfully cinnamon-y. I had a tough time deciding what to order, but finally chose the CARNE A LA TAMPIQUEÑA, which is steak served with an enchilada (I chose chicken) with cheese on top, guacamole, rice, black beans and 2 homemade corn tortillas. The portion size was quite generous and I really enjoyed it (except for the beans, which I didn't try). The steak had delicious seasoning and was grilled to perfection. The chicken enchilada was covered in tasty sauce and the filling was tender and flavorful. The rice was just okay... I thought it was slightly bland but it complemented other ingredients well. As for the corn tortillas, you could tell they were homemade - Nicely warm, moist and fresh. I alternated between eating the steak and enchilada separately then creating a taco by filling the tortilla with steak, rice, cheese and lettuce. It was a very satisfying meal and they have a wide range of mouthwatering options. The service was solid and we were treated well. read more
