Would it be my top choice for Mexican food if I'm looking for a traditional taco or burrito? No, but this restaurant markets itself as a modern spin on Mexican cuisine, and the food is solid overall. At my last meal I ordered tacos and shared one taco entree with a friend. Each taco order comes with two, and the duck confit had a great mixture of savory and sweet flavors with the goat cheese, bean puree, and pickled onions. I shared the fried chicken tacos with my friend and found it to be unremarkable. On the other hand, the seasonal cocktail that I ordered was well-made and made me curious about trying other alcoholic beverages when I return in the future.

Lovely spot for Mexican food with fun vibes!…read more I came for Sunday brunch/lunch with some friends. I made a reservation through Yelp a couple days beforehand and there was plenty of availability. The restaurant is located right off Ventura Blvd and has an attached parking garage in the basement which can be accessed via the parking lot behind the restaurant. There were plenty of spots available Sunday afternoon when I came. It's a bit hidden, but there is an elevator from the garage to the top level where the restaurant is located as well. We had two babies in strollers with us, so I requested a table with plenty of space nearby for the strollers. They seated us outside on their covered patio, and indeed, we had plenty of space. I peeked inside and there's also a nice lounge area with a beautiful flower wall as well as a proper dining area. When we arrived, there was a live DJ spinning tunes. I assume he's there during brunch hours, as he left around 3 pm when brunch ended. I started with a frozen lime margarita ($12). It was okay; it felt like it was only half frozen as the ice wasn't blended that well. For my main, I got the famous Anejo carne asada and shrimp plate for $40. Yes it was pricy, but the portion size was also huge! I was starving and somehow managed to finish the plate, but it'd be a great dish to share for two people with small appetites. I really enjoyed it as well. I asked for the steak to be cooked rare, and they didn't overcook it. Each bite was super tender and flavorful and paired well with the rice. Everyone else also enjoyed their dish. One friend got the wet chicken burrito for $15 and it was massive! Another got the veggie fajitas with steak added and really enjoyed her dish as well. Solid food all around. I would love to come back on a weekday and try their happy hour! Sipping on $5 margaritas and $6 sangrias sounds like my idea of a great time!

Went on a Tues around 12 wasn't to busy but I'm sure it's packed on weekends and evenings. Plenty of in door and out door seating. You can call in or order on line and pick up food at the take out window outside. You place your order, find a seat and enjoy. Employees are very nice. Helpful. Great salsa bar. I had 2 sopes , one chicken, the other asada delicious. Rice and beans were good. Also tried a beef hard shell taco. Again delicious. Wife had a chile relleno plate and she loved it. My fried had a huge nacho plate and two tacos. Food is fresh as if you were eating at a family gathering. Restaurant is clean. A few tv s. Didn't get a beer maybe next time, enjoyed a Jamaica. Looking forward to going back!

This particular location is stellar. Consistently terrific food prep, a wonderful team, and free,…read moreeasy parking. Let's start with the salsa bar -- AWESOME selection and all are delicious. My favorites are the KILLER HOT and the SHARKY'S salsas. Their AVOCADO salsa is also very tasty. GO-TO FAVES include the Grilled Fish Taco on a corn tortilla. Seasoned and grilled to perfection on a regular basis. I get mine with no Pico de Gallo as I like to layer on some very hot salsa instead (KILLER HOT) and I get it without the cheese to keep it lower in fat and calories. NEVER disappoints. Their Nachos are a treat when I'm breaking my diet. :) Shrimp Tacos are really good as are the protein plates which can be customized and are a very healthy, well-prepared meal every time. You order at the counter -- and a nice touch is they ask if you want chips while you wait. Their water is also a nice touch -- it's got lemon, cucumber, etc. in the water which gives it a refreshing spa-like feel. They also have really good iced tea. You grab your own beverages and I highly recommend both the water (free!!) and the iced tea. The staff here is wonderful -- an active management team that works the floor, checks in on guests, and generally just makes everyone feel welcome, along with the hard-working kitchen team and the young team that takes the orders and puts together the take-away options. They are a smooth-running, very friendly and kind operation there. I love Sharky's. I grew up in this area and remember when it was Twain's. Sharky''s is a great addition to the area - good, solid Mexican food with plenty of healthy options. Something for anyone in your group here.

It feels really high end and just lovely. Perfect for a date night or for a celebration. We ordered the molcajete and the fajitas. Both dishes were delicious! I also got the casa vega margarita which was good but on the small side... Good stuff but on the pricey end. Beautiful ambiance outside though. Definitely try and sit outside!

Incredibly disheartening to see what's become of Casa Vega. Every single interaction I had with a…read morestaff member (besides the hostesses) felt like I had made them resent me without saying a word. Just dismissive, pissed off attitudes from beginning to end. Literally every single thing, from ordering a drink to getting the check, took twenty plus minutes and multiple requests. The restaurant was fairly full, but definitely not overwhelmed. I genuinely had no idea who our server was because the interactions were so minimal and brief and half the time I was flagging someone down to ask (again) for X, Y, or Z. I work in a restaurant. I'm a server. My empathy is high and my standards are ALWAYS manageable. This was some of the worst service I've ever had. On top of that, my nearly $30 shrimp burrito had an amazing lack of shrimp in it, and even beyond that, it just tasted like mayonnaise. It was inedible. I didn't dare try to send it back or get something else for fear I'd be stuck there for hours. Casa Vega is iconic, that much is undeniable. I don't know if they're resting on those laurels, or if management has devolved to the point of having extremely jaded staff, but I probably won't ever be back. Not that you guys need my business. But I'm definitely going to encourage others not to go experience the wreckage of a one-time pillar of Los Angeles either, and that is something that genuinely pains me to say. I am BEGGING someone to care about this restaurant again. It is worth saving. But right now, it's not even kind of worth visiting. Would be a better museum than restaurant. Two stars for the margarita I eventually got. It was thankfully delicious.
