Their food is phenomenal. The best mole I've ever tried. Also service and ambiance is quite good.

Great drinks! Amazing tacos. However, partner and I both felt kind of off the day after eating here. We shared eachothers tacos so hard to pinpoint, but we think it was because we both had kind of lukewarm rice and beans that tasted like they had been sitting out a while. read more

When I visit my daughter in Montrose, it is one of my favorite places for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also have the best chicken mole! read more

Everything is great about La Cabañita. The food is excellent and reasonably priced. Their service is always kind and pleasant. The ambiance is just what we and our friends love for such a restaurant. Their history in such a lovely location is also comforting. Excellent! Highly recommended. read more

Really great options for vegetarians. The waitress suggested 3 of her favorite options, but said the one she would most recommend are the Vegetarian Enchiladas, so that's what I went with. They were really delicious, and came with black beans, and vegetarian Spanish rice. The green sauce on top was also vegetarian (the waitress confirmed). Service was wonderful; several people came by to ask how things were, and to refill the chips and tasty salsa (the 2nd dip was mint-based). The corridor leading to the restrooms had a newspaper cutting sharing that this was one of LA's Top 10 Mexican restaurants about 15 years ago. I am glad we picked this place. read more

We were in the area and really wanted some Mexican food and this one popped up. So we decided to venture in, the service was really really good no quarrels there. The food however did leave us walking for more. Everything was so Bland and I'm not I've never had Bland Mexican food in Los Angeles. We all got enchiladas and all agreed that the enchilada sauce felt and tasted like it was from a can. The chicken and asada wasn't seasoned. I'm not sure that I would venture back. But three stars for great customer service and decent prices. read more

So good for what it is. Great chips and salsas. Would recommend not getting the guac because it's not anything special but their beans are great. They're also quite adept at cooking eggs so I would really recommend their breakfast. Their diet cokes are delicious and huge and the refills are free. Huge space and your party gets lots of room to sit down. read more

I'm so disappointed that I'm giving this place a low rating. I've worked in Glendale a very long time and I've never been here. Today was the day to finally try it as some of my colleagues praise their margarita. Being that I am on the clock, no margarita was ordered. Just a good tasting ice tea that was the highlight of my dining experience. Being that it's Ash Wednesday, I am only eating fish or seafood for my protein. This place has no Seafood!!! I was short on time so I decided to stay and order the cheese enchilada lunch special. If I could have sent it back, I would have. The enchiladas are terrible. Tasted like two store bought tortillas out of a plastic bag rolled up with very little cheese. The rice was tasteless. The beans were dark and no flavor what so ever. It hurts me to leave this review but if you're looking for good Mexican cuisine, try anywhere but this place. You will even get better food from the many taco trucks in the area. And I'm sure they have fish tacos! It is safe to go say I will never return to this mediocre Mexican restaurant at best. Worst $18 I've spent on lunch in Glendale in a while. read more

A forever favorite for almost 15 years now. I try to make a special visit to La Cabanita every trip back home to LA, and I almost always get the same thing: their vegetarian mole enchiladas and a cadillac margarita. The only thing I switched up on my last visit was trying a mezcal margarita which was surprisingly too sweet, like they were trying to balance out the smoky mezcal, except that's the whole reason I ordered it -- to taste the mezcal! Regardless, it didn't ruin my night or my dinner. The food was typically delicious, and the staff was typically friendly. Recommend arriving early if you don't want to wait to be seated, or calling ahead to put your name on the list on a weekend evening. But even when I've had to wait to be seated it's always been much faster than the time they've quoted me. And always worth it. read more

This has been our go to Mexican food spot for years. The food is always great no matter what you get. We usually always stick to the same items. Pro tip ask them to make sure the food is extra hot. The service is always great and love the family run approach they have. You can also bring your wine and corkage is $15. Must Get Items: Corn Soup Flautas Chiles Vegetarianos With Extra Sauce Chicken Poblano Enchilada Chicken Verde Enchilada Black Bean Chicken Enchilada read more

Always make a stop at La Cabanita when in town. 25 or so years of enjoying the Enchiladas verde and the tomatillo salsa. I carry my leftovers home on the plane with me and either freeze the salsa and carry it on or pack it in my checked suitcase. This family restaurant never disappoints. If something isn't quite right the offer to fix it right away. Love this place. read more

I have a love hate relationship with this place. The food is out of this world, but the service really makes me dread coming. But alas, my tummy loves this place too much to (1) find an alternative (2) give this less than 5 stars. But just know that the service here is pretty bad (except for 1 or 2 outstanding waiters). Whether i come for the lunch special or for dinner, I always get the same thing. Prices for the lunch special has gone up over the years and so the real difference is for the same price as dinner, you're also getting rice and beans (which I would say is worthwhile since the rice and beans are amazing). The toastas (specifically chicken) is my all time favorite. You can get other toasta fillings (sweet ground beef or guacamole). If you like sweet, than the sweet ground beef is good, but it's a big no no for me. The guacamole one is basically the chicken tostada without the meat so I would say for the best bang for buck, i always go for 3 chicken toastadas (each order comes with three). Now, the REAL star of the show is the chips. I. LOVE. THE. CHIPS. I could eat 2 bowls by myself. When you dip them into the green or brown sauce, it is pure chef's kiss. I'm salivating just thinking about it. Note: if you order take out, they sadly only give you 1 small bag of chips (no matter how many orders you're placing - whether it's 2 orders of 5+). This alone makes me re-think whether I eat in or not. Overall, this place is incredible. I would drive across down to come to this place. I only wish the service was friendlier and they would more accurately give out chips for take out orders. Pro Tip: Come during lunch - waiters are wayyy better (more attentive and friendly). read more

La Cabañita is one of those hidden gems that you instantly want to tell everyone about--but also secretly hope stays just under the radar so you can always get a table! From the moment you walk in, the warm, colorful decor and the smell of fresh tortillas and grilled meats set the tone for a memorable meal. The staff is incredibly welcoming and attentive, making the whole experience feel like you're dining with family. I ordered the mole enchiladas, and wow--hands down some of the best I've ever had. Rich, complex, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. My friend had the carne asada plate, which came out sizzling and juicy, and the homemade salsa trio on the table? Absolute fire (in the best way). We also tried their margaritas, and they were strong, fresh, and not overly sweet--exactly how I like them. Prices are fair, portions are generous, and the quality is consistently high. Whether you're craving traditional Mexican comfort food or looking to impress out-of-town guests, La Cabañita delivers every time. Highly recommend--5 stars all the way! read more

Hugely generous portions, consistent quality Mexican food, delightful decor and ambiance, and professional respectful service !

I usually order a lot of lunch or dinner for take out from this restaurant. One of my favorites is the chicken pozole and guac with chips. One evening I decided to go in for a sit down dinner and ordered tacos with a margarita. I am ordered the nopales taco and a Cochinita taco. Definitely order a margarita if you like cocktails. I am now a fan of on those margaritas they are strong & tasty. All you need is one . read more

Came here on a Monday night at 5:15pm and we were seated right away. Come early to avoid a wait; there were over 10 people in queue when we left around 6:30pm. Cozy little place with nice interior decorations. Street parking and easy to find parking. We ordered the combination plates and chose soup over salad. They had many soup options and we picked the pozole. So delicious! I ordered the chili relleno and enchiladas mole, and subbed rice over beans. read more

Cute place, I stopped here after class with 2 friends, one of them been here before and said we have to try this place. I got the enchiladas one green and the other 1 mole. I loved the green sauce one, didn't feel the mole to much. The salsa and chips were really good as well. read more

La Cabañita - Enchiladas lunch special $14.99 - Mexican Near Me - Glendale, California

Pretty, colorful and fun vibe to this place. Love the playful decor. Service was very good and attentive even though we were upstairs, seemed furthest from the kitchen. Pozole was really good. Bright flavors, light and healthy tasting. Would return for the soup!! So thankful for other reviewers who commented on it. Their tortilla chips, served with red and green salsas are really good. Having the green option was a real bonus we were happy with. I had the Verde enchilada, which was mild in flavor with a bit of tang and made better with the side salsas. Parking isn't easy, but we got lucky to find a spot around the corner on the street. read more

This place came highly recommended, but unfortunately it didn't really hit the spot for me and my guest. Our food took a very long time to arrive. And it wasn't overwhelming. We came, we tried it, and that's it. I understand some people really love it and that's fine for them. And to end on a more positive note, our margaritas were delicious. read more

Great service and the food was very good. The carnitas were nicely fried and not too fatty unlike other places. Their beans were sooooo good. They had bacon and other spices in them and they were some of the best beans I've ever had. The others in my party were also happy with their choices, including the breakfast bocaditos which were different from what we had previously but also tasty. I can't wait to try the caldo and albondigas next time! The wait staff was attentive and very friendly. A great option in the area. read more

Wonderfully cute, with brightly colored walls, beautiful sombreros on the walls, small pinatas hanging from the ceiling. Friendly staff and the best mild green salsa and smoky red salsa for the table with freshly fried chips. The scrambled eggs and chorizo wasn't my favorite and the black beans were thinly spread over half the large plate. The coffee came with a small slice of cinnamon pastry which was delicious. Creamy coconutty flan. read more

Great Mexican American staple dishes. A popular local restaurant for a margarita, Friday and Saturday evenings can be crowded with many patrons. On some occasions, the carne asada may be a bit overcooked, but homestyle dishes such as Chile Rellenos and Enchiladas are properly made. Mole sauces are also on par. Striving for simplicity is what is the star here. read more

I came here with my girlfriend on a Friday afternoon around 3pm. There was no wait, the food was served quickly and hot, they even give you warm nacho chips and salsas to snack on while you wait for your meal!!

The margaritas are really good along with the food. The service is super attentive so much so that you feel rushed.

Though i am not as famous as the couple (Elizabeth Taylor and Larry Fortensky) photographed in the 90's sitting at a wall table here: I still adore La Cabanita. In fact as a major Elizabeth Taylor fan i was sitting at the table that she and her then hubbie, Larry Fortensky sat. I had been having a hankering for some of La Caba's patented Tex Mex Nachos and a bowl of their excellent Chicken Soup (Caldo de Pollo) so i landed here this morning in preparation for the extreme heat that is purported to land in Los Angeles today. There is plenty of parking at the back of the restaurant (in the shade) at about 930 am and just a few die-hard Caba Breakfasters here. As is the norm , there are plenty of waiters to take care of our needs: all of them happy to serve. These are the kind of servers that i like: people who take their jobs to a professional level and work their tables as such. I ordered a delicious, malty, dark, cherry, nutty "Bohemia" and with it came the thick, crisp, fresh chips of which this joint is famous. Along with these we get 2 dipping salsas: tomatillo based and a red: both are mild. I asked and received a bowl of Hot salsa which upped the ante, spicy-wise. I also ordered a bowl of Caba's Caldo de Pollo and a plate of their famous Tex-Mex-style Nachos (see the photo for the style of the preparation) It's very unusual: a style that of Texas (San Antonio for example) i have never seen. These Nachos come with Cheddar though you can ask for White. Yellow or White Cheese with beans or Meat or without: these Nachos are the best that i have ever tasted anywhere though there are certainly places that serve mountains of Nachos though taste-wise do not come near the unctuousness of these. Yum. Good Stuff. The Caldo de Pollo today was a bit below par: as if i had gotten the bottom of the huge pot bubbling in the back. But it is still full of real chicken broth flavor with lots of shredded chicken and huge accoutrements as in Avocado slices and chopped onion, potatoes and zucchini. As usual a good time is had by all. I will of course be back. Cheers! read more

The service and the food was amazing. Small quaint place, but well worth it! Plenty to choose from on their menu.

My honest opinion: Like others have stated. The food, desert and drinks are GREAT. - Carne Asada - Carnitas Plate - Fajitas Combo - Flan, try the coconut one too - Margaritas All great dishes to try. Service was acceptable. Nice cozy location, and well decorated. Issues: - If you park on the street, don't forget to turn your wheels to the curb or you will get a ticket. - The check-in part was a joke. Needs attention. - The SERVICE CHARGE. Not acceptable. I didn't see anything advertising a SC would be placed on final bill. Again food was GREAT and Service acceptable. A must try, just be ready for the issues. read more

Let me start by saying that I've been coming here for over 15 years... been a loyal customer making the drive from the west valley and now from DTLA when there are literally thousands of other Mexican food/restaurant options. We got take out during the pandemic at least 1-2 times a week to show our support. So I'm still a little salty at the visit we recently had where we were treated so rudely by our server. We dined in around 7:30pm, were seated at the tiniest table in the back room that was on a "hill" and was wobbling like crazy. Once a larger table next to us opened up, I asked if it would be ok to move and our server rolled his eyes and said yes. We made the move ourselves with zero assistance from him. The food was amazing (as always) and we ordered another round of margaritas. Never were we told it was last call or that they were closing soon. Apparently they close at 9pm. At 9:10pm (only a few minutes after our drinks were dropped on the table, along with the check), our server literally came to our table and said in the most condescending voice, "OK, it's time to go home now." My bf and I looked at each other in a state of disbelief. As a restaurant manager myself, I would never, ever say that to a guest. And did he want us to slam our full margaritas and get behind the wheel of a car? Completely unacceptable behavior. I woke up the next morning still thinking about it, so I called and spoke to the manager. He was deeply apologetic and mortified and said he'd have the owner/GM give me a call. It's been over a month and I have yet to receive a call which tells me that the owner doesn't care about how her guests are treated at her establishment. Very, very disappointed. read more

Visited this establishment twice in a week since the first time the fam and I had a good experience. Went back a second time with parents. Food is good, however, service can be friendlier.

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
