The food is grossly overpriced and mediocre to bad. The nachos are generic. The tacos are dripping with oil and leave the eater sickened. A plain burrito is $18, meat is an additional cost. Chips were warm and perfectly salty and the salsa was peppery and with great chipotle flavors. Ceviche with strawberry juice has good flavor. Overall this is one of the more pricey meals for something you'll not likely care to remember. It was a mostly empty restaurant on a Saturday night, quite a contrast from a few years ago during covid. Friendly and attentive staff. No parking anywhere so you will likely need to use the $15 valet.

Would have gone to four but its way too expensive to pay for stale chips. Cant do mexican food with stale chips. Drinks were very good though. Vic vega 2.0 was excellent. Service was very good too. Just that stale chips at a mexican restaurant would be like if starbucks tried to serve instant coffee. They were so stale we were dissuaded from buying entrees. Everything else can be great but the chips kinda overshadowed the whole experienceParking: $15 for valet

This is one of the best Mexican restaurants we've ever eaten at! The natcho chips were crunchy all the way through the delicious plate of natchos. The flank steak was so tender that you could peel it with your fingers! Cocktails were amazing! Service great!

We were in the area for the Barbie Pop Up Experience. We wanted something locals love and not a chain. I took a chance and wow. We were there for the brunch menu. Food was amazing, the French toast was the best I have had anywhere, including other countries. I would come here again! The cocktails were delicious and service was world class!

One word: DELOICIOUS. I came for brunch after the beach and sat at the bar. Got the nachos and an INCREDIBLE marg. The staff was so kind and the space so nice. Will def be back when I return to LA.

I was looking for a 5 star Mexican food restaurant. This place does not serve authentic Mexican food. I live near a border town, and I know delicious Mexican food, and this place is not close to it. We paid over $200 for a party of 3 and ended up leaving our food and going to fast food. If I had to choose this place or Taco Bell, I would choose Taco Bell. I gave 5 stars to our waiter for excellent service, but I wasn't looking for excellent service but rather excellent food.

The food was so good with the staff being nice & very welcoming. Defintely will be going back to eat here again, had Mothers day dinner with my Mom and sister here and it was our first time.

Had an absolute nightmare experience in as much as table of 12 under 13 children (unattended by parents ) Running around the restaurant as if a playground. Not anyone's fault except the parents but the fact that we had to pay top dollar for a very uncomfortable experience leads me to never wish to visit again.

I had my birthday brunch at Tallulah's for a group of 8 and we had the absolutely best time. One of my friends kept saying "20/10". Eli was our server and he made the experience incredibly memorable with his great recommendations. His presence at the table was so on point he totally matched our energy and met and anticipated every single one of our needs. You don't always think about when picking a spot for a meal how much of an impact your server will make, and even though I had the best company already- Eli's vibe and service definitely made the experience that much more enjoyable. Oh yeah and the food and drink was also INCREDIBLY delicious. Everyone loved their drinks (passionfruit cocktail, paloma, margs, cucumber mint agua fresca) Eggs in a blanket tastes way better than it looks. Guac was also my fav I've ever had at a restaurant. French toast, SO good.

This is very tucked away. Valet costs $12 + tax Food was okay. Best part was the cesar salad. I had 3 different kinds of tacos (carne asada, fish, veggies); the flavors didn't hit for me. The guac was good. The service was great.

We had the best time and the best food! I'm from Maryland and went with a friend who lives in the neighborhood. Their salad and salmon were amazing, so fresh and spiced just right. Our server was the very best I have ever had! He really knew the menu and was super-attentive and the manager also checked in on us. This was a great meal at a great price.

The food is always delicious and beautifully presented. Our server was beyond amazing. Upbeat and informative without being intrusive. First class experience on every level. I highly recommend.

Haven't been this excited about a Mexican Happy Hour in a while! The margarita is always great and the food was exceptional. We got the carnitas, Baja fish and quesadilla and everything was delicious.
