Ambiance: clean cafe that can seat about 130 customers. Mexican music playing through their speaker system. Chairs and tables in good condition. Overall, it's what you would expect from a Mexican cafe style restaurant. Chips and salsa are provided to their customers. They were tasty. Salsa not too spicy which my wife enjoyed. Service: we were greeted promptly when we arrived and seated immediately. The server was there within a minute to get our drink order. He a lot of some time to review the menu and then came by to get our order. Unfortunately, my wife's order wasn't quite right, but he made sure to take care of it right away with no questions. Food: you get a lot of food for your money. The not so good news is that it doesn't taste like they season their meat. I had their shredded beef, chicken and ground beef. None of them tasted like they were seasoned at all. I took each one out of their tortilla to taste individually but they were all bland. How does a Mexican restaurant have bland meat? Everything else was just fine except for the lack of spiced meat. I may be spoiled being from Southern California where we have what I think might be the best Mexican food around.

I decided to stop in on a whim after a basketball game, to get carnita tacos and guacamole dinner take out. First of all, there is free parking right out front. LaCabana has handicapped accessible entry and restrooms. This place has authentic decor. It is very clean, which is important to me. There is a bar, and dining available. The wait staff wore clean uniforms and were professional with the patrons dining. They have high chairs. The pricing is fair for the quality and quantity of the menu food offered. After eating the meal, I would definitely go back again and be a repeat customer.

I went into the bar and sat down and literally looked at the guy bartender like 5 times in the face and no hey or what are you drinking? And etc. Until I got a waitress sent to Me. With being in public and customer service for almost 20 years by far one of the worse service I've dealt with .

What a huge bummer. The reason I give this review is to the lack of attention and BAD ATTITUDE by the male server. Awful. This was our first time here. Our server (a man with a ponytail and don't recall his name) was greeting customers at the door and immediately he had a bad attitude asking "what the heck is he doing ?" As he seemed upset that my husband was holding the door for some elderly patrons. He continued this bad attitude at the table . As you can see by my profile we eat out quite a bit and have no problem spending money on food and drink especially if it's a good experience. Mexican cuisine is our favorite. This time we wanted to try a new place, we did not stay for another cocktail or dessert, we decided to leave. Not ONCE did this server come back and check on us. If he did, he would realize that the things we ordered were incorrect, so the opportunity for correcting the situation never presented itself. Granted, I USED to be a server for over 25 years as well as a former restaurant manager, we had no idea that it was a 2$ taco night and sometimes they may not do substitutions because of this, however, We did not even order that. Upon ordering, I asked the server if I could have the flautas made with flour tortillas, as I do love how the flour tortillas taste when fried. he immediately said no and gave me a story that flautas cannot be made that way because they will break. What a flat out lie. Chimichangas are made with flour. And every other Mexican restaurant from here to Mexico that we have been to has had no problem doing this for me. Anyways, I didn't care too much, and I had a back up plan. Also, my husband asked also if we can just have a shot of regular run of the mill, lower shelf tequila along with our margaritas we were charged nine dollars a piece after he assured us this was the cheapest. He then told us they were all the same price. He never Came back to our table afterwards ( and we are fun and easy going people ). He didn't offer us water, or anything, and also this person was standing at the front door on his phone, and then standing over by the kitchen, juggling towels like a game, and was in no way busy the entire time. He was just rude, so we will never be back. I'm sorry but the food was just OK and when you have terrible service. It's just not worth a return visit.

I was really craving a margarita and some chips and salsa. Being that it was Sunday night, we were happy to find LA Cabana open until 9, which was perfect. They were not busy at all and were very attentive to us. I ended up getting a strawberry pina colada, and I'm so glad I did. It was super refreshing, and I love that it had chunks of coconut on top. I took a while looking at the menu because I really didn't know what I wanted. I ended up getting the Hawaiian Fajita, which was the special. It did not disappoint. It was mounds of veggies with shrimp and grilled pineapple. I can not express how good it was. It came with rice, beans, pico, sour cream, and guacamole on the side. The portions were humongous! I still had half to bring home for lunch on Monday.We had an excellent server as well. I believe his name was Alex. Very friendly from the get-go. We shared some good banter, which I enjoy. Makes you feel welcomed.

Went there on a first date because I really enjoy the food. Service was ok, never refilled my drink, date finally flagged the server down for a refill. (There was only 1 other table of people). Food was amazing. He had enchiladas. I had the chicken fajitas Quesadilla. My biggest problem was the 10 to 12 fruit flies we killed while there. When mentioning it, the server was like yeah I try to kill them but what can you do......Maybe I will try the Valpo location. Not sure I will go back to this particular spot anytime soon.
