    Plenty of salsa !
    Ron W.

    First time Grub Hubbing from this place and I would reorder from them for sure ! Food was delivered in a timely manner and correct to my specifications- double rice no beans - Bravo !

    Chilaquiles
    Anastacia H.

    I was in area and came across this place thinking it would be basic. I ordered the chilaquiles and I was so surprised with the flavor of the sauce. It had just the right amount of spice and so flavorful. I was the only person there when I ordered so the service was great and the food came out quickly. Next time I'm in the area I will be back.

    Flan Caramel

    I find it outrageous to order a desert and get a store bought item. You wanna do that at least be specific or fake it! The flan is store bought. The guacamole is terrible and it doesn't come with chips. The Jalapeño Dourado comes with literally ONE jalapeño. The nachos were cold but okay. The burritos were okay as well. My drinks were missing. I wouldn't order again. It was a DoorDash order.

    Undercooked fries, undercooked meat, poor taste and sals is even the same.
    Maribel S.

    I got an order of asada fries and my fries are not cooked and the meat is undercooked. Very sad I used to come here a lot and it was good now it's like the chef is careless.

    Chilaquiles with burnt egg and a scorched cheesy roll up thing. $19.85 plus 20% gratuity
    Kewan F.

    Ok I usually can depend on something decent a bit inconsistent at times but more than less it's better than this chilaquiles and this kids roll up. I guess twenty bucks ain't what it used to be but I have been in the existing mood and Pico pica Rico today is your day to be exposed for the inconsistency. With the price of eggs and this is what I get. UNACCEPTABLE PERIOD...

    Breakfast burrito. Mar. 2024.
    John M.

    Provender: a great place to get Mexican food, especially if you want a breakfast burrito. They also serve menudo and burgers. Prices: the breakfast burrito will run you about $12. Parking: although it's in a small plaza, there are a lot of units and the limited spots can get filled quickly. People: fun for all. Perks: the restaurant has a few indoor and outdoor seats, along with a TV. The staff are great. They also have a salsa bar next the drink refrigerator.

    Very authentic Mexican restaurant. Staff is quick and friendly and the food is very good. I ordered a gordita with carne asada and thought I wouldn't be able to finish the whole thing because it was so big. It was good though, so eating the whole thing wasn't a problem lol. I plan on coming back with friends.

    BOMB !!!!

We ended up getting the pollo asado, the carne apache, and taco de pulpo. The sauce for the pollo asado was addictive and the way they seasoned those fries... You'd wish they were endless. I highly recommend the carne apache too. Full of flavor and just yummy overall. The taco pretty big but it's only one taco and that's it so worth getting a few. I definitely want to go back to try out some of their other dishes. It was pretty loud but the place isn't so big and it was pacckkkeddd on a Friday night at 9 pm. It took about 20 min to get us our table even thought we had reservations. So don't count on them to come find you when a table is ready. Keep checking with them. Just a heads up, the valet closes at 10 so you need to get your keys if you plan on staying late. I think street parking is better if you're lucky enough to find a spot.

    Casa Vega is an institution and one of those rare restaurants that's welcomes tourists, loyal…read morepatrons, and celebrities through its doors for decades. If you grew up in LA like I did, this was definitely THE spot...and honestly, it still is. The interior is packed with old school charm: dim lighting, warm red and yellow accents, cozy booths, and a dining room that's instantly recognizable. But don't sleep on the outdoor patio either. It's absolutely beautiful, complete with its own bar and plenty of seating for those perfect evenings out. Casa Vega is famous for its margaritas and classic Mexican American comfort food. It's not outright authentic, but it's nostalgic and hasn't changed for decades. During my last visit, I kept it simple with a cheese enchilada, a perfectly medium rare cooked steak taco, and spicy beans and rice. While each item was simple, it was done perfectly. Definitely get the combination so you can try a little bit of everything. Like I said earlier, For me Casa Vega is all about nostalgia. The familiar flavors, the atmosphere, and those feel good vibes that keep people coming back year after year. It's a staple because we all grew up with it so if you're someone here dining for the first time, keep that in mind. Last pro tip: there is $10 valet parking which honestly saves you from trying to find parking on the main boulevard so I would say just go with it.

    Casa Vega has been on my "legendary" list for a long time. After finally visiting, I'd say it was…read moremore of a one-time experience for me. Let's start with logistics: parking is valet only unless you manage to find street parking on very busy Ventura Blvd. When we arrived, we stood waiting for a bit without being acknowledged. When the hostess came over, there wasn't even a simple "hello," just "How many?" and "Do you have a reservation?" It's a small detail, but hospitality starts with a greeting. The ambience is undeniably cool -- dark, classic, very old-school LA. It has character. Food-wise, it was inconsistent. The albondigas soup leaned salty -- maybe it had reduced over time, maybe just my taste preference. The fajitas were actually the opposite: pretty bland. On the plus side, they weren't overcooked, which is common at many places. The cuts were large, not overloaded with onions (which I appreciated), but also not much chicken. The guacamole had a slight sour note. Not terrible, but enough to question how fresh it was. Our server, however, was great. Attentive, professional, and the highlight of the experience. The menu font is quite small, which makes it difficult to read in the dim lighting. And the payment terminal comes with a tip percentage already selected -- that always feels a bit uncomfortable. I'm glad I checked it off my list, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return or recommend it strongly. It feels like Casa Vega survives mostly on nostalgia and reputation rather than today's execution.

If I hadn't already asked my cousin's family to meet us here for an early dinner, we never would have stayed. Arrival & Service: Ignored at the Door: We walked in at 3:00 PM to a completely empty restaurant and still had to wait 10 minutes just to be acknowledged. We didn't even get an apology for the wait. Awkward Seating: Despite having the entire empty dining room to choose from, they sat our party of eight smack-dab in the middle of the floor. Zero Attentiveness: Even though it was completely dead, the staff never checked on us for water refills, extra chips, or anything else. Safety Hazards & Ignored Spills: The Floor Was a Mess: My son accidentally spilled his ice water all over the table and floor. A server brought us a single napkin and never returned to actually mop up the puddle. The Waitress Spilled on Us: When the food finally arrived, our waitress knocked my cousin's water directly onto him. She didn't apologize at all, handed over one dingy towel and some paper, and--once again--left the floor completely wet. Disgusting Bathrooms: My wife took our daughters to the women's restroom and said it was filthy. My cousin joked about the men's room floor being wet, but it was no joke. The floor was covered in water and dangerously slippery like ice (even while wearing Jordans). How does a restaurant let their bathrooms get this bad? The Food Underwhelming: The food was incredibly mediocre. The fajitas were supposed to be "sizzling," but they arrived dry and lifeless. Experiences like this are exactly why we rarely eat out. Sneaky Billing Practices Hidden Gratuity: When the bill arrived, I was getting ready to leave a cash tip. Thankfully, my wife checked the itemized receipt and noticed they had already tacked on an automatic tip of about $30! I almost double-tipped them. Random Fees: They also added an unexplained $7 fee that we couldn't figure out. Bottom Line: This place is an awful Mexican restaurant. By all means, go check it out for yourself if you don't believe me, but consider yourself warned. We will definitely never be returning!

There's a big bar around the cook area inside where you order or a covered patio outside area (with heating if necessary). We had a lovely evening, so we sat at the end of a bench.
