This is a great Mexican restaurant with a great menu and a wide selection of cocktails and drinks. The food honestly tasted really good and had a well balanced profile with one exception. There was no spice in any of the food or salsas and it was the one thing that would have made the meal amazing. The ambiance was classy and romantic. It was quite loud in the restaurant from the conversations people were having. The staff was nice and service was fast.
No wonder the Kardashians frequent this joint, redesigned by notorious loudmouth former Bravolebrity back-stabber trout lipped Jeff Lewis, CV reigns supreme w classic barrio Mexican style food enhanced a-la chicken bouillon. Portions are great, drinks are strong, mood is get-down-to-eat vibes. The decor is giving me cute date night. We started off w their chips n salsa where we dipped into the salsa like kids doing their first cannonball into their pools. I had the fajitas and Greg had the Chilli verde burrito. I accompanied my dish w grilled jalapeños and it sealed the deal. Nothing makes Mexican food taste better than chargrilled jalapeños w each bite. Enter food coma. Thank god for the margaritas to snap us out. This place warrants many many visits.
Sat at the bar with my friend. The bartender was so cool. He had great suggestions. We just had appetizers & drinks. I will definitely come back for the dining experience soon.

We passed by this spot and wanted to stop by to get a margarita. My husband ordered a carnitas burrito and chicken taco. Great taste and great service.
From the moment the valet opens your door, you're greeted with such warmth and hospitality that you feel like you're their honor guest. The outdoor patio area is perfectly concealed and covered in beautiful chic white paint that harmoniously blends well with a bar covered with beautiful Mexican decor. Creating the perfect scenery for amazing Mexican cuisine. The atmosphere, as a whole is reason enough to stop by.
The food was as delicious as advertised or as published on KCAL9, and the atmosphere is great. I had the new shrimp tacos and they were perfect. So on the negative, the drinks had little to no spirits, and our server was absent the majority of the time. It's worth going for the food, but there's plenty of other Mexican restaurants with just as high quality of food with much better service I'd rather spend my money at.
OMG I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT BEST SERVICE EVER. MY FAVORITE FOOD HERE THE SHRIMP AND LOBSTERS ENCHILADAS OMG AMAZING.MY FAVORITE BARTENDER RICKY HIS SERVICE IS SO AMAZING.BEST DRINKS AND FOOD HERE.I COME 3 TIMES A WEEKS FOR HAPPY HOUR AND TO VIST STAFF. LOVE THIS PLACE
Great time, food, atmosphere, service!
⭐️ Try Mango Margarita if you like smooth taste with no harsh alcohol and not too sweet. It just hit the spot for me!
⭐️ The service was super wonderful, nice without kissing a*s. The host and the server (Ben 🙌) both made our night even more pleasant.
⭐️ Pretty quick service in terms of sitting and food.
😑 Football on their TVs kinda didn’t make sense to me.
They got a new (I’m assuming) patio outside and I look forward to coming back and checking it out: it’s so cute!
P.S. I’m not super picky about Mexican food in California. As long as it doesn’t drag me down to the ground, I’m fine. So if you are a picky eater - skip to another review :)
Is Casa Vega touristy? Yes. But that’s probably the reason why you are there so you shouldn’t be shocked at it being busy, rushed service, expensive, etc. I thought the food (while overpriced) was great! They have all the classics and any of their combo plates make a great meal. We started off with the Tostada Chiquita, which is kinda like a taco salad on a tostada? It was worth going back for by itself. The restaurants decor is classic and really makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Service was good, but a bit rushed. We never had to worry about drink refills or plates being removed. I would come back in a heartbeat!
I went here for my birthday dinner this year and has a blast. Great service, yummy food, good cocktails (I had the Grilled Pineapple Margarita) and amazing atmosphere.
We came with a big group on a Thursday night and had a blast. The food, drinks, service was 10/10!

Went there for the first time for my birthday lunch on a Sunday right when they opened at 11:30AM. Sat in the booth next to the one Brad Pitt and Leo DiCaprio sat for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood as that actual booth would have been pretty tight for the 6 of us. Of course had to try the Tarantino Margarita, and it was very good. Ordered tableside guac. Not only is it fun to see it made in front of you, this was the best bites of the meal. I got the chicken mole, which was ok. The rest of my family were pleased with their food, but I can't remember nor did I take pics of what they got 😅. The room with the booths was very dark, but I enjoyed the ambiance. We were pretty stuffed, so didn't have much room for dessert, but the restaurant was nice enough to give a small flan for my birthday. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience and would love to go back with other guests and family.
Very intimate setting. Server seemed preoccupied but still managed to do a good job. Very dark and hard to read the menu
