When I turned the corner into the street next to the restaurant I easily found street parking, just keep an eye on the street signs so you park during appropriate times. We were seated outside which was perfect weather and it was great the tables could be pushed together to accommodate as many people as would arrive (our group fit in 4 tables pushed together). To start, the bean dip and salsa! That bean dip is so delicious and spicy! If you told me they were sold out and all I could eat is chips and bean dip I would have been a happy girl and just sat there eating the bean dip! Yummm! For the main course I went with the Steak Tostada Salad and it did not disappoint! The tostada was fluffy and crunchy, and the inside was filled to the brim and had nice thick pieces of steak on top! I did not feel an ounce of guilt as I gobbled down the whole thing and I even splashed some of that bean dip onto the top for good measure! In looking around at everyone's plates everyone's food looked amazing with very very generous portions. The waiters were very attentive to our group coming around frequently keeping our waters full and refilling cocktails for anyone who had ordered one. I definitely recommend Los Amigos Bar & Grill for a very delicious and authentic experience!

I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, this is some of the worst Mexican food I have ever tasted…read morein my life! I ordered the Shrimp a la Scampi, light garlic, with rice & beans to go. When i got home, I realized the shrimp was sitting in a greasy pool of garlic-laden oil, which leaked all over everything. Thank God they use a plastic bag; otherwise, that garlic mess would have been all over my car. The beans were so salty & weird tasting (the worst ever), I think the chef must have been in the Mortons family. The rice was okay, but had no flavor at all, so my doggies will love it in their food tomorrow. The chips, which are now in the bin, were completely tasteless. They don't include tortillas(?), so I paid for an order of them, but they had so much grease on them from the pool of oil that leaked, I had to throw them out. The only thing I rescued from this expensive meal was the shrimp. I pulled them from the greasy garlic pool and am planning to rinse them off tomorrow and put lemon on them. Hopefully they will be edible. The young gentleman who got my order ready was a sweetheart, so I will say one nice thing. After the overwhelming garlic smell, the mess I had to clean up because of all of that leaked oil and my disgust with the waste of money, I ended up having watermelon at home for dinner.

Food was beyond sub par you can make the food at home and would taste better! Save your money. Everything we had from two orders of "taquitos", "esquite", quesadillas and a blood orange mojito. The only thing with a bit of flavor was the esquite, but again to pay for roasted corn on the cob with just mayo and cheese? For $13 ? NEVER AGAIN. I have a problem with the way they name their items which is a bit misleading. For example, they have an item called taquitos, meaning you would expect a rolled fried taquitos. What came was tacos dorados so why is it named taquitos? They DID write on the menu that it's fried tacos..but again why are they not just calling it TACOS DORADOS? Same with esquite typically esquites are corn off the cob but this was on the COBB and yes it was described on the menu as on the Cobb but again why not call it ELOTE instead of esquite. Clearly this is semantics but just frustrating. If you want authentic Mexican food there is a Don Cuco's around the block that is WAY better than this place. They are at a different tier than this Kalavera's location. If you're a drinker perhaps that would make the food taste better...so disappointed and a waste of money!

The pancakes were warm and fluffy, and the fresh berries went really well with them. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were great, and the meal came out hot and nicely prepared. The eggs were prepped over medium, as requested. The eggs plus the fruit made for a quick and healthy breakfast, complemented perfectly by the pancakes. Overall, this was a great breakfast experience. Good food, great portions, welcoming service, and a comfortable neighborhood atmosphere. Parking and seating can be a little challenging because of the restaurant's size and popularity, but the food makes it well worth the visit.

We were…read morecraving breakfast on a rainy day and finally decided it was time to see what all the hype was about -- and now we completely understand why it's always so busy! We waited about 45 minutes for a table, which honestly wasn't a problem at all. They're located in a plaza with parking, and there's also plenty of street parking nearby. First, let's talk about the Café de Olla. We ordered two, and WOW. It's their signature coffee, brewed with cinnamon, raw Mexican brown sugar, and spices. We normally drink our coffee black, but this was easily one of the best coffees I've ever had. Seriously, do not skip the coffee here! For breakfast, we ordered two dishes and shared everything. We had the Breakfast Skillet, loaded with country potatoes, eggs, bell peppers, mozzarella, fresh avocado, and ranchero sauce. We also ordered the Chilaquiles à la Bandera -- crispy tortilla chips with half tossed in their green salsa and the other half in red salsa, topped with mozzarella, Mexican cream, Cotija cheese, and eggs. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. And because we needed something sweet, we added the Crunchy French Toast Sticks, drizzled with caramel and Lechera. SO GOOD and the perfect sweet addition to our breakfast. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves! The service deserves its own mention. Our server, Liliana, was an absolute doll! She was so sweet, attentive, and genuinely helpful. She helped us decide what to order based on her own favorites and recommendations, and everything she suggested was spot on. Our Café de Olla came out within probably a minute of ordering, and once we placed our food order, I don't think we waited more than five minutes. Considering how packed the restaurant was, we were seriously impressed. Liliana definitely made our first visit even better! Everything was perfect -- the food, the coffee, and especially the service. Definitely recommend Mex Cocina Cafe for breakfast or brunch. We will 100% be back. In fact, we already can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

This place looks like the old west in the best way, complete with wagon wheels for the light fixtures and a killer bar area. It's really something you have to see yourself. So it's safe to say my wife and I were awed with the vibe of the place. I will say we were pretty hungry when we came in, and did hope they were going to drop some chips and salsa on the table, like most Mexican sit down spots do. However, that was not to be. The chips and salsa are extra. That was our only disappointment of the afternoon, as it was otherwise a fantastic experience. We tried the cochinita pibil, a shrimp taco, and the fajitas. They were all excellent, but man I'm still dreaming about the cochinita pibil. What full flavor, with a terrific sauce...both the plates came with cilantro rice, tortillas, and black beans, which made for an excellent combo. We will be coming back - hopefully for their taco Tuesday when my family comes to town next month!

I know my profile says no negativity but I have to break my rule for this, 'ahem', restaurant just this one time. Do not go here! I went here many years ago with a friend to have dinner and drinks. The food wasn't terrible, I've eaten worse, but it was not the greatest quality, like a cheap cut of meat and old beans, just not that good. The reason I will never see the inside of this restaurant again is similar to what other people have posted; the bartender's/waitresses/managers, etc. totally tried to rip us off over drinks!! We went during the afternoon with some sort of "happy hour" thing going when they had "$1 margaritas". So we ordered our food and ordered some drinks, and then some more drinks and so on. When we got the bill, do you think our margaritas were billed for $1? Hell no, they billed us like $6 for each one!! When we said "what about the $1 happy hour drinks" they looked at us like they didn't know what we were talking about. So we went to go point it out on the sign, guess what, it was erased from the chalkboard! Can you believe that? So then we called the manager over and he called the waitress over and they spoke in spanish for a bit and then he says "there is no special" and we said "yes, it was on your chalkboard" they talk again and then he says "you didn't order the special" WTF? I told him that the only reason we ordered the margaritas is because they were on special so I turned to ask the waitress why she over billed us and right at that moment, she forgot all the english she knew. She could totally understand us when we were ordering and exactly what we were ordering but now that we caught her is was "no habla anglais". We told the manager we were not paying $6 per margarita and then he says, "yes you are or I will call the cops!!" So I said, "call them then and we'll see what happens". Bottom line, after a long argument they adjusted the bill, but they still charged us $2 per margarita 'cause they said we only drank doubles (yeah right) and I told him that day that I would tell everyone who asked that his restaurant was a complete and total rip-off and to not go there ever. Now that Yelp is here I can warn people I don't even know to stay away from this horrible "restaurant". Sorry about the rant but I feel better now :-) read more

This a solid 4-star Mexican restaurant. The food is predictably great, very consistently hot, fresh, and fast. The bar is competent, reasonably stocked, and the house margarita is a reliable, tasty choice that will help unwind those knots in your shoulders. The food is straightforward, unassuming comfort food, and they probably have every single one of your favorites. But the food (as good as it is, and yes, it's quite good) is actually secondary to the service. The staff actually see you, and they will interact with you as a person. They are thoughtful and kind (I *really* liked the bean dip that came with the chips -- there might have been growling noises. The server brought me another one with a gentle pat on the shoulder.). This is not unusual. If you have leftovers (and their servings are *not* small), well, they are even better the next day. The valley is full of Mexican restaurants, and there are a ton of stunningly delicious ones (and about a zillion that are the sad equivalent of "Denny's"). Granada is a family-owned restaurant that's been here in Burbank like forever, and I'll drive from Encino to get my Granada fix. Will it change civilization as we know it? No. Will it make civilization (such as it is) bearable? Abso-frickin'-lutely. Sad? Console yourself with the cheesy goodness of their enchiladas. Happy? Celebrate with their surprisingly well-priced Sunday brunch. Enjoy their lunch specials for less than a Happy Meal, and feel like a loved human being the next day. Their tamales taste like happiness. I've literally never had anything here that didn't satisfy... it's like your mom cooks here. (She says "hi") Look, work on your diet next year -- for everything else, there's Granada. Don't say I didn't warn you. read more

Been here 4-5 times and never been very impressed, but it's close to Costco and I sometimes have a craving for Mexican food after my Costco run. This last time was so bad that I won't be back. Ordered the one vegetarian item on the menu in their vegetarian section. The photo of the vegetarian burrito showed it all dolled up with avocado slices and other garnishes to make it look appealing. I asked if they would make it chimichanga style and after much stumbling by the waiter was told they couldn't. They had done this for me before but no matter, now the cooks were unable to figure out how to put this particular burrito into the fryer. So it shows up completely naked and alone on the plate. It looked just like a 99¢ frozen burrito from 7-11, and just as appealing. I said that the picture showed it came with rice and beans, the waiter said it wasn't a combo and left. I tried a few bites and it was so bland that I didn't finish. I don't usually get angry but this ticked me off. Any moron from any walk of life knows that food is supposed to be appealing, flavorful, etc... This fact goes over the head of Granada's. One pathetic vegetarian item on the menu and they serve it up like dog food. I got up and left the restaurant to go sit in the car and cool off. My friend paid the bill and we drove off from this sad little restaurant. Won't be back. read more

My friend recommended this restaurant to me as the best in Burbank as she has been coming here for years! I tested the water out by just have a Beef Taco and Cheese Enchilada. The rating actually deserves zero stars. This is because the Beef Taco had a funny taste. At first we thought they must have made a mistake and brought us carnitas. The mystery meat was dried out and super dark/hard and dry on the outside and VERY bland tasting. Needless to say we questioned ourselves if we should go ahead and eat it....NOT! It took a while for the waiter to come back and he verified that the meat is beef. By looking at our meals...he did not even ask if there was an issue. He just left. If I was the waiter, I would ask if the food was to our liking but not so. Are you not curious as to why we barely touched out food before you took it away? DINERS beware! How can you call this mexican food? There is better food in East Los Angeles! I should have checked YELP before we decided to stop by. read more

Granada's is a pretty standard mexican restaurant on Victory blvd in Burbank. I love their chips and salsa and their tacos are pretty good. Nothing spectacular but certainly filling and satisfying. The main reason i come to Granada's is whenever I'm with friends and we're going for drinks and food. The girls I usually run around with love their strawberry margaritas, and they are actually pretty potent. The enchiladas, tacos and strawberry margaritas and of course, chips and salsa are the highlights of Granada's. Enchiladas are so-so, as are their burritos. I know plenty of people who like their enchiladas and burritos they just don't blow my skirt up. By all means though, come try them out for yourself and wash them down with a strawberry rita. read more

They have been serving authentic Mexican specialties made from family recipes since 1961. I went with two friends so we could order a few different things and share. We tried: * Guacamole with corn chips * Chicken & potato tacos * Mango & strawberry frozen margarita * Ceviche with fish marinated in lemon juice, onion, cilantro and chile * Cheese enchilada, country style * Deep fried ice cream Everything we tried was really good, although I will say the meal was definitely on the heavier side. The frozen margarita was a fun choice and went perfectly with the food. The service was also a highlight. Everyone was very welcoming and attentive, and multiple people checked in to make sure we were doing well without it ever feeling like too much. I am glad I finally stopped in after driving past for so long. There are still plenty of things on the menu I want to try, so I'll definitely be back. Parking tip: they have a parking lot in the back, but it fills up pretty quickly. You can park on the street or if the lot is full, go a little farther past it and there's a back alley area with quite a bit of parking.

We attended a farewell party at Barragan's not too long ago…read more We took over the lower patio, which is a great space to have a celebration. It has a great vibe and if you can catch it on the right night, they have live music on the other patio, which all can enjoy. We had passed appetizers vs. a full blown dinner but everything was delicious. Will have to go back for lunch and/or dinner to check out the regular menu. The service is outstanding. The servers were attentive--at the ready to top off your drinks before you even have to ask. I'm not mad at that!

There are usually a good number of people here on break for lunch. I usually get a burrito here, which comes with a pittance of chips, but the flavor is definitely there. I appreciate the kick they add to their burrito and sauce; however, I feel like I've been to several places in the area that offer better-quality food at a similar price point. Still, I enjoyed this place and will likely be back!

I ordered a Sear Shrimp bowl for my friend and for me the Tierra Azul Steak Nachos as well as a queso taco with asada. When the cook began to make my order I was a little disappointed to see that they have a char grill yet their steak was pre cut and cooked on the flat top. The char There is no way to really replace that char flavor. The char grill was basically a holder for bowls. Now for the actual food. The presentation was nice and the flavor for my queso taco was good but their hottest salsa was a little mild for me. I understand making things more palatable for the masses but some of us love spicy food. The Nachos were also good which you may say is hard to mess up but I have experienced bad nachos on Citywalk from that place that took over for Chamachos. All in all I came here because the line for the Mongolian Barbecue was too long but I did really enjoy my food.

Credit cards are accepted. My dad loved his bone marrow taco (Huesi taco) which was a huge bone and came with pickled red onions and cilantro. I got a sample plate which came with a soft taco (suave), hard taco (dorado), and a soft taco with cheese (quesi taco) in addition to an 8oz consommé (broth). The quesi taco was my favorite one - the cheese goes so well with the consommé and it's so tender and flavorful I'm getting hungry just writing about it. Good spot to grab a quick bite or if you're craving Birria tacos.
