The Fish tacos are delicious - not too battered/fried. For something a little different, try the Rose Mule, a twist on the Moscow Mule with Rice Soju and has Blue Ginger Kombucha
Evelina ProdanovaSeptember 8, 2017The service was great, we went on a busy day but were seviced right away and with attention. The food was tasty, timely served. Grill chicken tacos and breakfast salat are a great choice!
Suzanne XieJuly 13, 2014Great food and vibe! Grab a seat at the bar and get the fish tacos and key lime pie :)
Katja HaackMarch 28, 2016The interior is very pretty and the Mexican food is good and modern. You can see the open kitchen, which is always a good sign for cleanliness
Davide CorradiJuly 1, 2017Fish tacos are great. The guacamole is fantastic but the Fried calamari are just AMAZING. (Portions are VERY generous: Starter and sides are as big as a main)
Los AngelesSeptember 6, 2013Some call the menu Mexican but it’s hard to qualify other than to say it’s a melting pot of comfort food. Popular dishes include the “Mexican pizza,” Baja-style tacos, chorizo burger & sashimi.
Chris KJune 29, 2015Wings and fish tacos are a must. Calamari is gluten free. All amazing. Will be coming back
Bobby ChaconAugust 27, 2017Fish tacos were excellent and the ceviche was awesome. Greek salad with chicken added was great.
Tim BushJuly 27, 2017Great tacos and a decent craft beer list (both on draft and in bottles). Go for the fish tacos!
AskMenMay 19, 2011With a great outdoor patio & plates worthy of your discerning palate, this Spanish beer bar boasts a vast selection they’ll have you downing a different beer every day through summer 150 to be exact.
Angus RobertsonMay 3, 2015Fish tacos, pulled pork sandwich are standouts. Wine room is great semi private spot for a larger group of 10-12.
Julie ParfreyMarch 18, 2016Fish tacos, homemade tortillas, Mac and cheese, fried plantains, all exceptional
Lee HoffmanMay 11, 2013The brusselsprouts are amongst the best I've ever had. The chicken tacos are very good too.
Edward HutchinsonOctober 19, 2016Great food, tables are a little small, but a very strong atmosphere!
Brad SlavinOctober 15, 2014Fish tacos are extremely well balanced. Beer & wine place makes their margaritas with fermented agave. Interesting taste, slightly sweeter.
Lucky BrandAugust 13, 2013The perpetual fiesta at this happy hour destination includes deconstructed nachos (Chicano Cheese Pots), peel and eat shrimp and plenty of other recipes straight from owner Oscar’s mom.
Chris CooksonSeptember 25, 2016Kind of pricey for the amount of food you get, it's very high quality though and it has good vibes. More a nice place for a date and cocktails than it is for its food.
Kristin SwanAugust 2, 2015Great breakfast! The Huevos Rancheros is fantastic! The waffles, sandwiches, everything really looked delicious!
Danny NathanMay 3, 2016The veggie tacos were delicious - esp for $5 on happy hour. We had the cheese pots which were good, but don't expect Tex-mex style queso.
Anechka M.November 17, 2016Was good but a bit pricy (20$ for 2 sausages with bread?). Ceviche was very authentic and fish tacos as well. White sangria could have been better
i love their sangria and calamari made with rice flour. it's not a menu regular but order it if it's available.- Lucas WorthingOctober 31, 2014The Fish Tacos are perfection, and the Barbacoa Tacos have just the right kick in the ass! Breakfast is brilliant too!
Nick BurtoApril 18, 2016Barbacoa Tacos amazing. Corn delicious. Ceviche disappointing. Michelada too tomato-y for my taste.
S LeeAugust 7, 2014Want to like this place as it's right across the street but not a fan of the food. Best spot on Rose Ave to drink, but other than ceviche and chicken & waffles, meh. Dogs allowed on patio is a plus!
BollareNovember 28, 2012Work up an appetite riding your beach cruiser here, then order absolutely everything on the menu. Definitely don’t skip the Barbacoa tacos!
Ines RieraAugust 8, 2016Delicious and refreshing agua frescas in different flavors - perfect complement to the fish tacos.
Kristina ShahoianDecember 5, 2016great happy hour 4-6 pm, discounted drinks and food. loved the Empanadas!- ozzy chavezJuly 16, 2017Ribeye baby!! Usually go to the taco joint in Culver City but this place has big plates.
Justin MiyagiJanuary 25, 2015Plates come bigger than a typical tapa, so choose wisely. Excellent choices no matter.
Mariana AcuñaNovember 2, 2012The empanadas taste delicious, DON'T get the cheese dip thing, sounds great in theory in practice is mediocre.. The wings are crispy, mildly spicy and utterly yummers!- BollareSeptember 30, 2011Work up an appetite riding your beach cruiser here, then order absolutely everything on the menu. Definitely don’t skip the Barbacoa tacos! —Elizabeth
Rachel KJanuary 9, 2014Understaffed/too busy for brunch so you may have to wait for quite awhile to get refills or your check. Food is solid though.
Get the burger. Or the 5 spice BBQ sandwich. Food so gorgeous, you will want to photograph it!
Huevos Rancheros is amazing. One of my favorites anywhere.- Speedy LicoJanuary 7, 2015Two fish tacos for $14, they were good but, one more please and it would have been perfect.
Sasha CSeptember 1, 2011Barbacoa tacos, Peruvian sashimi, ceviche, flan. So yum!! And u can also have a gluten free option ;)
la puente burger is killer. hold the onions and special sauce. medium rare w cheddar.
