    My usual: 2 crunchy chicken tacos with unlimited chips and salsa. I LOVE it so much.
    Gina E.

    This review has been long over due by like 6 years. There's something wonderful about this place where it reminds you of walking into someone's cozy home but not. Instead you walk into a restaurant in the nice area of San Dimas. When one of my friends found out I was moving to San Dimas 10 years ago, he recommended La Villa Kitchen. He said he and his family had been going for years and they know the mom and sisters. It's family owned and the food is great. I'm very picky with real authentic Mexican food and this area is in a predominantly white area so I was skeptical. This is not the hood so how good can this spot really be right? The staff are sweet and down to earth. Inside is clean and there are many booths to sit at. The customers sitting inside look like regulars. I still remember the first time I tried their unlimited chips and salsa. They were perfect. Til this day, I always look forward to them! I still order the same thing. Two crunchy chicken tacos. The shell is perfectly crisp and the chicken is flavorful paired with heaps of their homemade chips and salsa. I usually ask for more salsa because it's honestly the best salsa I've had. It's so fresh and it's never too salty or spicy. It's just perfect. I can drink their salsa. I haven't tried their other menu items because I love what I order so much. I'm so happy my friend told me about this place and now it's one of my favorite places to eat at. So is this restaurant real authentic Mexican food? Maybe... maybe not, but I'm telling you, try my order. It is DELICIOUS. In fact, I'll probably go again next week just to get my fix.

    But no one see much of anyone these days  Birthday Dinner  Flautas Combinacion Plate (light guac) from #LaVillaKitchen
    Mojo S.

    I had a girlfriend who lived up in the High Desert near Victorville. She introduced me to this local burger/Mexican fast food joint like three miles from her house that had the best flautas. And the best part was it was a drive-thru. There were so many times we were tired to cook, but we always had flautas from this place as a back-up plan. In the years since I've tried a couple different places for flautas but nothing ever made a huge impression. The flautas here though? They might've made an impression. Big chonky boys, both with lots of beef and flour tortilla, grilled just so--that's exactly what I want in a good flauta. Plus, being able to place the guac on the side, so I can spread a thin layer of guac instead of drowning it in the stuff is perfect for me. I enjoyed every bite. The space is respectable, has a good warmth to it, and is what you'd expect from a small Mexican joint. I also like the service. It's the kind where you sit yourself while they grab the menu and salsa & chips for you. But they check on you just enough to not seem pushy. I had no complaints in that department. All in all, when I'm thinking flautas, I'm thinking here first.

    Angel Tree of Giving. You can be a Secret Santa.

    When we want to dine out, we consider the location, quality of the food, price, and customer service. Ask yourself what gives a place that extra touch to make you a repeat customer? Consider La Villa Kitchen, for example. This is a small business, family owned and operated since 1986, plus they care about their customers AND the surrounding community. This year, I almost forgot about the Angel Tree project that they partner with the Salvation Army. Children write a "wish" on a paper ornament, which is hung on the Angel Tree. I drop by for a bite to eat and randomly choose a wish as a "secret" Santa. I envision the child on Christmas morning with bright eyes to see a present waiting for them. The requests are so cute "a remote control car, an arts and craft kit, a skateboard, books, walkie-talkie, etc." Thank you to the owner and his sisters, who extended the deadline this year so that MORE children could be given that smile on Wednesday morning. I hope you will support and patronize this worthy restaurant, they have weekly specials: Taco Tuesday, Fiesta Friday and Sangria Saturday. Next December, consider participating in the Angel Tree project. Don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary sent ya!!

    Chips n salsa

    Food was good and it was great talking with Renee she was telling us the owners are from Guadalajara. The flavors are a little different than Mexican flavors. We have a Carna asada wet burrito the red sauce they use on top of the burrito is very tasty they also used it on the enchiladas. We also tried the enchilada and tamale both tasty but a different flavor. The tamale was covered with the sauce which was good but a little over powering for me as I like tamales. Chips and salsa the salsa was mild and the chips were nice and warm.. and although they come in a small bowl but they keep the bowl filled with chips. Great experience friendly people and a lot of local people come here.

    I was bringing my pet to a nearby vet clinic and it took a while so I came in and wow I'm impressed. Great prices great food nice selection. They have their own parking lot. I ordered the orange Roughy broiled. It's on the first floor. Music playing sounds what's not stuffy in here.

    It was my first time here! The food was delicious. Everything tasted pretty fresh! The atmosphere is super cute and the decor was nice. I liked the tacos and the cheese enchilada. The server was so welcoming and easy to talk to! They have seasonal pumpkin flan during the fall I will definitely be returning again sometime to try the desserts! Yum!

    Best mexican restaurant ever and I love the service. I love the people that own it. And the ambiance is very quaint and family oriented. The food is delicious especially the chile relleno. The best in the west!!! My family has Been coming here since 1996.

    Taquitos combo
    Indi H.

    I was so disappointed with my To Go Order tonight. I usually am very happy with everything about La Villa, but the portions seem extra small. I paid about $54 for a chile verde combo, an enchilada combo and a burrito. I got 1/2 the amount i usually get (eating in and take out). I know times are difficult but if we're paying about $54 i expect a decent portion. My chile verde was about 1 tablespoons and rice about 1 tablespoon in both orders . Pictures included and put spoon in there so u can gage portion. Very dissatisfied.. On a good note, my sister loved her burrito!

    I love La Villa Kitchen and despite all of the negative Nellys on here their food and the staff are GREAT! The beans are incredible. However....ugh, I hate to say it but I feel it needs to be: the prices have gone WAY up! We came about 6 months ago and a one taco lunch special plate was about $8. Today it's $11.25! It would be ok if the portions match the crazy prices but they stayed the same. I get it, everything's gone up in price but a $3-$8 increase is incredible. The dinners are over $18! Anyway, if you know this place you know their food is great. Sadly, we won't be able to frequent it as often due to the prices and that we can get something less in price for just as good quality.

    Hard shell tacos are insane. The meat is awesome. Chips and salsa are 4 stars (a bit more heat would be great). Service was top notch.

It's been on my dine at list for a while now. It's located at the Route 66 Promenade shopping center on Foothill Blvd and Lone Hill Ave in Glendora. Finding parking was easy. They weren't super busy. I was greeted upon entry. Got seated right away. Ambiance was quaint and romantic with lovely art on the wall. I only wanted tacos so went straight to the Taco Tuesday section of the menu. Btw, colorful menu with good selections. Three tacos for $6.99. Fish tacos baja-style was $3.99 each. I was down for all of them. Got a set of three tacos... one carnitas, one shredded chicken, and one grilled veggies plus 3 fish tacos. Yes, it was 6 pack for me. Lady staff was friendly, nice, and hospitable. Thank you ladies! All tacos were DELICIOUSLY AMAZING! Carnitas were flavorful. Shredded chicken was plentiful. Grilled veggies had great crunch... carrots were amazing! One small gripe, they were tiny tacos... wished they were bigger. Side of salsa for the tacos was perfect in taste... wished it was a full cup and not half. As for the fish tacos, superb at its best! Good size baja fish filet with fresh veggies drizzled with tasty chipotle sauce on a super thin and crispy tortilla. It was so good I had to order 5 more fish tacos to-go. You bet I did. I wanted my daughters to try them. I will return for more fish tacos if nothing else. Btw, guava agua frescas was not the greatest... it was tasteless guava to say the least. Highly recommend for Taco Tuesday visitors! Btw, Taco Tuesday orders do not come with complimentary chips and salsa which was surprising to me. How much are they saving with a handful of chips? Come on, hence, 4 stars!

You can park in the additional parking spots all around Shopper Ln. I have been a customer for many years and tried many delicious dishes.

The staff are very welcoming and genuinely warm. The restaurant has cozy and inviting ambience. Outdoor and indoor seating are available. I placed an online order for pickup. It was fast and convenient since I had friends coming for dinner. I ordered the following: - Burrito Panchon 5/5 Stuffed with carnita, beans and rice, served with cream, beans and guacamole. Huge portion! You can choose your protein. - Fajitas Cielo Mar Y Tierra 5/5 Marinated beef, shrimp, chicken. It served with sauteed bell peppers tomatoes and onions, rice, guacamole, beans and pico de gallo. It was smoky, savory and flavorful. - Vegetarian Enchiladas 5/5 Corn tortillas stuffed with bell pepper, corn, onion, carrot, cilantro, squash, and topped with a combination of cream and jack cheese. The portion was enormous. It was a very flavorful and savory. - Carna Asada 5/5 Flap meat marinated with homemade adobo. It served with pico de gallo, rice & guacamole. The meat was juicy and tender. It was such a delicious dish. - Empanadas 5/5 I chose chicken empanadas. It served with salad. The empanadas was crispy from outside and very flavorful. - Ensalada de Nopales 5/5 Diced cactus mixed with tomatoes, onion, lime, and cilantro. - Taquitos 5/5 It was crispy from outside with savory and juicy filling. - Taco de Cameron , taco de Pescado & taco de Birria 5/5 They were savory, juicy and delicious. - Beans 5/5 Topped with melted cheese, really delicious - Large Bionico Bowl 5/5 Fresh fruits like topped strawberries, mango, cantaloupe, banana, papaya, blueberries, apples, pineapple topped with granola and shaved coconut. It was rich, creamy. The fruits were fresh and sweet. It was heavenly! Every box was wrapped with layers of plastic wrap perfectly. I got a bag full of different types of salsa with my order and another bag with tortilla chips. The food portions were very generous. Every dish reflected authenticity and deliciousness.
