Offbeat L.A.May 2, 2016Opened as La Mission Cafe on Spring St. In 1928 it moved to the oldest brick building in LA, built 1855.
Scott ArrredondoAugust 24, 2014Sit on the patio. You can people watch, while you wait for you food, wich seems like an eternity!
LanimakaFebruary 18, 2014The fresh blend mango margarita was good (&strong). Tortilla soup...heavenly (&spicy). Guac = good. Service started excellent, but ended poorly. 25+ mins waiting for bill &my waitress forgot about us.
Cassie Scroggins-BeasleyJune 8, 2014Great food! Wait staff is super! Honestly it feels like you've stepped into a party in progress!
Rudy KhamboJune 15, 2014Asked for the best tasting meat, Cochinita Pibil (pork) suggested. Nailed it! My table fought over it.
Karl HobartAugust 18, 2011On hot days, order the La Cubana--a perfect combination of salt, lime juice and Dos XX. Essential drinking.
Alexis BethOctober 13, 2012Mariachi is super loud! They play inside as well as outside, so beware on the weekends! Very noisy to the point where I can't hear myself think.
Laura McMillenJanuary 13, 2012When the older gentleman is working he is heavy handed with the tequila order the margarita's!!
Bee MoneySeptember 7, 2011Order the "hot sauce" ... I think its habanero, but its perfectly not-too-spicy
