Tamale plate (top), chips and salsa, and shredded beef taco plate (bottom)

Shawna C.

Had a lovely quick lunch here in our way to Bloom Ranch. Very friendly local spot. Food and drinks were tasty and portions were large. Authentic flavor.

I went to this restaurant pre pandemic and food and atmosphere was always great. I took my daughter and grandkids here today June 25, 3026 and was surprised the place was nearly empty but I now see why . I order a $21.00 chicken burrito . What I received was a huge scoop of refried beans , tiny pieces of chicken that you couldn't even taste, nor feel, due to all the refried beans, wrapped up in a soggy tortilla. and on a plate with more refried beans and very plain/tasteless Mexican rice. I voiced my complaint to the head waiter who told me that's just the way it is. Never offered to change it out. I then opened up my burrito , took the soggy tortilla off , and attempted to it as is. It was like eating a load of canned refried beans. Not acceptable by any measure. I asked the waiter if I could please get a different dish. He argued with me, said no one else has ever complained about the burrito before. I showed him my plate with the burrito opened up. I showed him the soggy tortilla, the filling the consisted of almost all refried beans, and the tiny pieces of chicken. He continued to argue with me. He finally said he'd go talk to his boss, then came back and said, ok what do you want I asked him for the menu, chose a tostada to go which was less expensive, and I still got charged for the more expensive burrito I didn't touch. My daughter ordered a child's plate with a cheese enchilada to share between her 2 children. The only thing they touched was a little bit of the beans. They didn't like the rice (they normally like rice) and spit out their first bite of their enchilada and both proclaimed they didn't like it. (They normally like that as well. I tasted it to see if it was the enchilada that was the problem or the kids were just being fussy. It was the enchilada. Tasted like a soggy tortilla with red sauce poured on it. After having such a difficult time changing mine out I just paid for theirs and said nothing about it. My daughter ordered chicken taquitos which she said were ok but store bought would have been just as good Never again will I be back. Sad, because I used to really like this place. Home-made food is starting to surpass restaurant food by far now, especially for the prices they are charging. It used to be a treat to eat out. Not so much now.

The always perfect way to end any meal. Flan!

A delicious dessert makes any meal complete. The Fried Iceream they serve is a perfect example. After a fine dining experience, trust you can order this and truly have an incredible meal. Enjoy.

This place is so delicious! So glad we stopped here- food authentic! Our waiter Javier was super sweet! Very helpful with recommendations on entres. This place is very clean! Every single employee seemed happy and so friendly! They don't rush you out! Felt like I was eating at a families home. Thank you ! I will be back when in town!! Oh and that Cadillac margarita- whew! Delicioso!

I didn't get many photos of this place, but I should have. I dropped by for lunch with some friends and it was really good. Unfortunately, I hadn't seen the friends for some time and we got to talking, and you can probably guess what happened. The service was great. I had the chili verde burrito. It was good sized and filling. The pork was tender and the sauce flavorful, but not overly hot. They bring 4 types of complementary salsa of different spice levels. All were excellent. It's a comfortable atmosphere. They have a large patio. It was a little warm, so we ate inside. They bus the tables promptly. A very nice, clean restaurant.

Wow I have eaten authentic Mexican food in Rosarito Beach at very high end restaurants there. So I found this restaurant as good if not better quality than any other restaurant in Mexico. It was very welcoming very attentive people and servers Food was EXCELLENT delicious chicken rice and beans on special for $17.95 large portion too. If your on the 14 highway stop in and have some of the best food north of the border I promise you won't be disappointed

Stopped after visiting some friends in the area we decided to grab some lunch. Seated quickly, ordered some margaritas, and munched on yummy salsa and chips. For entrees we got the nachos and beef taco/ cheese enchilada plate. Everything was tasty, margaritas were refreshing and service was great. A nice spot in Acton serving great Mexican food.

My wife and I come here once a week and absolutely love this place! Not only is customer service great, the food is amazing as well. Their house margaritas are delicious too. I would highly recommend La Cabana if you are looking for good authentic Mexican food in Agua Dulce/Acton area. Our favorites are the marinated chicken salad, mini tacos, taquitos, and shrimp enchiladas! read more

Since it's been a couple years since moving to Acton here's an update. We love La Cabaña so much that we came here twice in one day. Why you ask? The strawberry banana margaritas! And they don't skimp on the alcohol! The service is always great and the food is consistently on point. My favorite dishes are machaca, Chile verde burrito, and chicken and shrimp fajitas. So happy we have this gem in Acton! read more

Very good Mexican restaurant. You are seated immediately and the wait staff comes to your table within just a few minutes to bring chips/salsa and water, followed by your server to drop off menus and take your drink order. The server returns within five minutes and takes your dinner order. Your dinner order comes out hot and fresh, within fifteen minutes or less. The food is good - large servings and well-prepared. The Shrimp Salad is huge - my wife's favorite. The tacos carnitas are large, full of carnitas. We've eaten dinner there a half-dozen times, and found the food and service good at each visit. read more

First time here because it was recommended to us. We came for lunch/early dinner and were seated immediately. The hostess sat us wherever we wanted and took our drink orders promptly. Drinks came out shortly after and so did salsa (red and green), chips, and bean dip. They kept the chips and beans coming until our food arrived. The chips were fresh and warm. Refills on drinks were prompt and so were the appetizers coming out. Food didn't take long either. Everything tasted amazing! Will be back soon. Loved the service here. Would recommend to anyone looking for some fresh authentic Mexican food! read more

Against my better judgment, I opted to give La Cabana another chance after a prior unsatisfying visit. My wife and I visited on a Thursday evening around 7:30 PM. I detected something amiss when I came through the back patio and spied a weather-beaten note hastily fixed to the door. Entering the bar area, I very quickly noticed that all the liquor had been removed from the shelves and the place was utterly devoid of intoxicating drink. Perchance it was the throbbing mass of patrons, scratch that, the two other customers dining in the bar (or the eight patrons in the dining room) that had consumed the spirits. Then at once my senses returned to me and I recalled the note on the back door...and recognized at once that the dread note had informed patrons the restaurant had lost its liquor license. Determined to stick out the ordeal with my lovely wife, I sat in a booth and was soon brought menus. The waitstaff brought my fizzy beverage (sans alcohol) and a basket of stale, wafer-thin tortilla chips and some moderately satisfying, albeit watery salsa. We made our selections and waited for some time for the staff to return to take our orders. After more than ten minutes of waiting, we quietly, yet slowly and deliberately left the establishment unnoticed in search of another eatery. Perhaps we dodged a bullet here, as the food of this place is typically devoid of any distinguishing flavor, save the gobs of lard, grease, and canned tomato sauce. Bon apetit! read more

We were what you'd call regulars, til the owners oldest son did a power move getting rid of anyone (including close family) who stood in his way. strong drinks, yes. But the remaining waiters from before were it's weak point then, and greed is it's undoing for me. I won't be back. I live near by, and work near by, Ill drive to any other Mex food now Greed leaves a bad taste. read more

Wannna go to a place that is hidden and lovely? this is the place. A patio that kisses the mountains. We were severed immediately with the best Margaritas this side of Papas N Beer in Mexico. One and your done! The food was excellent and mucho Grande. Both my husband and I had to bring home leftovers. I found the Salsa to be really different and good. Lot's of flavor and meaty in it's consistency. I have read other comments that are negative here and maybe they did too. For me, it was muey delicioso and the waiter was spot on. Give a try I don't think you will cry. read more

Their albondigas soup used to be BOMB but now tastes and smells like battery acid. Tacos used to be good, now are horrible, soggy, bland and greasy. Everything else is just drowned in nondescript sauce that's tasteless. Don't waste your time or money! read more

I work in the area and I am glad I have found somewhere I can eat....somewhere that has good food. This restaurant was recommended to me by a friend and I was very surprised by how good the food was. My expectations for Mexican food are very high and this place as met those expectations. The food was great and I was surprised it took very little time to bring it out to me. The chips and salsa were awesome and the chicken enchiladas were just as awesome. The food is pricey but well worth it. There is nothing in the area so if you're looking for something other than McDonalds, Jack in the Box, Subway inside of a gas station then you should try La Cabana. read more

The chips were freshly fried, but the salsa reminded me of store bought salsa. It was ok, but I was expecting something more authentic. I ordered the carne asada and they overcooked the steak. I wish it was more on the medium side. My wife ordered the shrimp enchilada and the sauce was really good. It was savory and slightly tart from the tomatillo sauce. It wasn't over powering and so that's how I like it. The restaurant does have a dingy smell and you can see how old the carpet is. I'm pretty sure most of the smell is coming from that. But I think the food is worth it though.

There's a down home, country feel to the 49'er Saloon subtly referring to the California gold rush days of yore. Looks like an ideal place for bikers and horse riders. Hearty grub with hints of traditional regional American cuisine and full bar where you will not leave hungry. There's a formal dining room for larger gatherings for families and friends. Great place to eat after scrambling around Vasquez Rocks, visiting Animal Tracks, or just hungry on CA 14 frwy. Just get off the Crown Valley offramp and head due south for about a mile. 1) Wild Game Sausage: Walk On The Wild Side With Jalapeño-Cheddar Stuffed Elk With Roasted Peppers & Onions. Big portion enough for 2 meals since the Elk sausage is so rich. Elk sausage is ground fine and stuffed tightly in the casing for dense, firm texture. You're getting your money's worth. The Jalapeño has a nice, warm piquancy while the Cheddar gives a dairy fermented undertone. The julienned red and green bellpeppers are pleasantly al dente; the onions are caramelized to bring out their sweetness. It's all sautéed in an agrodolce/sweet-sour sauce along with a touch of garlic. 1a) Side dish: Nice little garden salad including green lettuce, diced purple onion, chopped tomato, grated carrot. Chose blue cheese dressing to use for the "Buffalo Burger". 2) "Buffalo Burger" is extra finely ground, plush, velvety Bison meat. So when I ordered it medium rare, the patty turned out mushy. Next time, I will order it medium to firm up and give more of a chaw to the meat. Opted for two slices of not too crispy, meaty bacon. Mayo, tomato, green lettuce leaf, grilled onions, cheddar cheese, dense brioche bun. I spread on the blue cheese dressing to give a little funk to what I thought would be the blood minerality of the Bison meat. It's another substantial dish. 2a) Side dish of standard French fries which was crisp as requested although it didn't quite have that ineffable earthy, mildly sweet, potato flavour 1-2a) Allegiance India Pale Ale, Lancaster CA was a good counter to both food items. Dry, heavy bodied, fruity with scents of orange zest, lacquer, touch of cleansing acidity. 49'er doesn't leave you hungry so didn't have enough room for dessert. I took the Elk sausage home and made sandwiches for two meals. So eating at the 49'er isn't as expensive due to the big portions. 4 stars

The staff were very friendly as it wasn't very crowded it felt like we had the Resturant to ourselves and that they paid close attention to us. The decor is a Spanish style hacienda look with plenty of natural colors. They offer the add of groups of 5 or more free soft drinks or coffee, which is a smart incentive to get the larger groups and dinner parties in. The food smells were present as we pulled up to park. So I think I was hoping for a more authentic taste, I wasn't impressed! But my DIL is Spanish and a great cook so I tend to judge Mexican food harder! I hope the best for this place as the workers were so professional and that the flavors start to pour out into the community.

Baracoa Cuban Restaurant

Family-owned & operated

Outdoor seating

Baracoa Cuban Restaurant was an amazing discovery when we stopped for a lunch pitstop on our drive…read moreup towards Tehachapi. I can easily see them being a favorite in the Palmdale area. There was plenty of parking in this lot. The entrance is located through their patio, which can be a bit counter intuitive. We came at opening and the restaurant got really busy during our time there. Initially we were looking at the sandwiches because it was lunch time, but then we were going to a wedding that night so we decided to eat something more filling since the ceremony and speeches always delay the eating. All entrees here are served with black beans and rice or congri, and 3 fried plantains. My boyfriend had the Ropa Vieja ($28) with the congri and I had the Lechon Asado ($25) with the rice and beans. Our food came out pretty fast after we ordered. My boyfriend's Ropa Vieja is a Cuban braised beef. The congri is basically a mix of the rice and beans. This dish was super tasty and the shredded beef was so tender with the bell peppers and onions. I can really taste the red wine and tomato sauce in the base. I took a few bites but in general I preferred my dish more, and vis versa he enjoyed his dish more. My lechon asado is a roasted pork that is super super tenderrrrrr. It was so sweet with the grilled onions and it had the perfect amount of fattiness without being over bearing. SO GOOD! Love the plaintains too. I'm glad I got the rice and beans option because I would have gotten too full too quick with the congri. I barely touched my beans and only got through half of my rice. Both dishes came with this super tasty garlic butter sauce that I poured on my rice and made it even tastier. It was so good. One thing I didn't enjoy about the experience was the flies attacking us and our food. Since the door is open and connected to their outdoor space, it leaves the opportunities for flies to come in. We had to play defense with the flies the whole time. The service here is a little slow. Especially when I was trying to get back on the road I wasn't feeling too patient. I waived down multiple staff members too. Also I got hit with an undisclosed 3% surcharge for using my credit card. I only found out after I got the receipt. I would have paid in cash if I knew. *dislike* LOVE LOVE LOVE the food. Might be the best Cuban food I've ever had... and I've been to Florida where there was a lot of Cuban spots. Room for improvement with service, flies prevention, and the disclosure of the credit card fee.

The food quality is spectacular! I always get the Baracoa Cubano sandwich and it never disappoints. The ingredients are fresh and organic with each dish I've ordered. Since I have allergies to ingredients used to preserve frozen food, it's always been so hard finding a restaurant with a menu that doesn't cause me issues--and Baracoa has never compromised with their ingredients! The organic quality of their food is something you'll taste on your first bite. And finally--the service is impeccable and I have yet to see such excellent hospitality at any restaurant I've visited, even in Los Angeles! The waiters are always kind, attentive, and energetic with their behavior and service. It's very easy to tell they love the work they do and it shows in their work ethic. In addition to that, the managers are always making sure we're having an excellent night and have transformed it to a level of service we've never seen! My parents and I went a week ago and talked to Daniel the Manager about how much we missed a Piña Colada from a closed restaurant which would make it in the pineapple itself--and he said if we promised to be there in a week he's make it himself. We came on Friday, and the joy that my family felt was palpable when Daniel came out with the drinks we've wished for years now since that restaurant closed! Honestly, I've never heard of someone caring for their guests so much to do that--truly everyone should visit this establishment and experience true fine dining. I don't think I'll ever eat anywhere else for a special occasion ever again.

Today we went for brunch, our first time. Awhile back the restaurant mailed BOGO free brunch cards to households in the area, and since this was the 2nd to last weekend to use, we went. Came in a little after 11, not very busy (The Vineyards tend to get very busy later in the day on weekends) I order a Spicy Watermelon Passion Fruit Agua Fresca - it was good, but the Watermelon was so overwhelming it was hard to taste the passionfruit. My mom had the breakfast tacos (not pictured) which she liked a lot, I had the avocado toast and added ahi tuna. The toast may look small at first, but was very rich and filling. I will say I was surprised to see the tuna in lox-like strips, but maybe that's because I'm used to ahi tuna either seared or in chunks poke style. All in all, a very nice experience. I think i wanna go back and try the pancakes.

There's a down home, country feel to the 49'er Saloon subtly referring to the California gold rush days of yore. Looks like an ideal place for bikers and horse riders. Hearty grub with hints of traditional regional American cuisine and full bar where you will not leave hungry. There's a formal dining room for larger gatherings for families and friends. Great place to eat after scrambling around Vasquez Rocks, visiting Animal Tracks, or just hungry on CA 14 frwy. Just get off the Crown Valley offramp and head due south for about a mile. 1) Wild Game Sausage: Walk On The Wild Side With Jalapeño-Cheddar Stuffed Elk With Roasted Peppers & Onions. Big portion enough for 2 meals since the Elk sausage is so rich. Elk sausage is ground fine and stuffed tightly in the casing for dense, firm texture. You're getting your money's worth. The Jalapeño has a nice, warm piquancy while the Cheddar gives a dairy fermented undertone. The julienned red and green bellpeppers are pleasantly al dente; the onions are caramelized to bring out their sweetness. It's all sautéed in an agrodolce/sweet-sour sauce along with a touch of garlic. 1a) Side dish: Nice little garden salad including green lettuce, diced purple onion, chopped tomato, grated carrot. Chose blue cheese dressing to use for the "Buffalo Burger". 2) "Buffalo Burger" is extra finely ground, plush, velvety Bison meat. So when I ordered it medium rare, the patty turned out mushy. Next time, I will order it medium to firm up and give more of a chaw to the meat. Opted for two slices of not too crispy, meaty bacon. Mayo, tomato, green lettuce leaf, grilled onions, cheddar cheese, dense brioche bun. I spread on the blue cheese dressing to give a little funk to what I thought would be the blood minerality of the Bison meat. It's another substantial dish. 2a) Side dish of standard French fries which was crisp as requested although it didn't quite have that ineffable earthy, mildly sweet, potato flavour 1-2a) Allegiance India Pale Ale, Lancaster CA was a good counter to both food items. Dry, heavy bodied, fruity with scents of orange zest, lacquer, touch of cleansing acidity. 49'er doesn't leave you hungry so didn't have enough room for dessert. I took the Elk sausage home and made sandwiches for two meals. So eating at the 49'er isn't as expensive due to the big portions. 4 stars

Decided to try this place for Mother's Day. Surprised it wasn't busy at all. The service was awful! Had to ask for everything. Excuse me sir..... Can I have silverware?...:...can I get some more water?........can someone find our waiter so we can get the check?.......have you seen our waiter? .......Any chance we can get some more salsa? After waiting for him to come pick our payment for almost 10 minutes we decided to dig through our wallets to come up with exact change so we didn't need to wait anymore (yeah that's right we didn't even leave a tip). As we are leaving the restaurant we see our waiter sitting in the bar watching TV. Maybe if the food had been good we would consider trying it again and hope for a better waiter. But the food was salty and overall just OK. We will not be back. What a bummer of a Mother's Day. read more

I've been here twice, and both times the staff were friendly, the food was good, and prices were reasonable. There is a nice bar area when you walk inside. Plus a dining area with comfortable booths to the left. They also have an outdoor covered patio area at the back of the restaurant that I'd like to try next time. Good parking spaces on site. The staff have been friendly and welcoming, even when we brought the 18 month old twins in tow. We've also ordered takeout, which has also been a good experience. Good basic Mexican food at reasonable prices. read more

I keep going back and forth, is this a five star restaurant or what ? In the end I will have to say it is not the fanciest place, best ambiance, etc. What they do have is a solid offering of real authentic Mexican food that seemed to be all prepared with quality fresh ingredients. So do not come here if you are looking for a beautiful place, come here if you are looking for excellent food and fantastic prices, their service deserved 5 stars as well. read more

La Cabana is really out in the middle of nowhere but if you so happen to be making a trip, it worth the stop. The portion size is very good and the staff is very quaint. If you are not dining alone, I would recommend splitting a main dish and getting a few sides. The plates are really huge and if you are like me, a doggy bag isn't what you want in your car for the next 2 hours. read more

Maybe a little bit pricey - but really worth it in the long run. The food is good, the staff is friendly, and YOU CAN RIDE YOUR HORSE UP TO THE HITCHING POSTS AND NOT WORRY ABOUT HOW MANY MARGARITAS YOU HAVE! Your pony will get you home.
