    I came here with a friend tonight as she found this place online and thought and thought they did a daily happy hour. When we arrived, we were bummed to learn that only the Santa Monica location has a happy hour. Since we were famished from a hike at Griffith Park, we took a look at their menu to see what they had and figure out if it was worth staying. I didn't see any vegan options on the menu but my friend asked the employee and she said the vegetarian tacos were in fact vegan and dairy-free. She told me I could choose a veggie for it. I asked which one she recommended and she said the potatoes. My friend and I opted to sit outside on their sidewalk seating as the weather was nice and warm. The tables and chairs were pretty comfy. I loved the cute decor they had both inside and outside and it was all such a great vibe. The seating inside actually seemed more plush and comfortable but the AC felt a bit too much for me. The food came out quickly and the staff were great about bringing salsas and waters to our table. I really loved the potatoes taco I got and the potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and perfectly spiced and seasoned. The salsas were pretty mild and really enhanced the flavors of the dish. I regret not ordering another taco, as it was very hearty and delicious! Parking was very easy and plentiful on the street.

    Godzilla Quesadilla

    I know I've written about this place before, but since we live close and often crave Mexican food, I gave it a few more chances. At one point, it became a solid weekly spot for me because the food was genuinely good. The service is still a hit or miss. Ordering by phone is still a struggle, hard to get a hold of them and communication is poor.. but in person, the staff are usually very nice. We were regulars, coming almost every week on lazy nights we didn't want to cook. I understand paying extra for sauces and sour cream, but sometimes the portions are laughably tiny. If I'm paying 50 cents, I'd like more than a squirt. Our go-to orders were the nachos, tacos, and the Godzilla carne asada quesadilla. I loved that quesadilla.. it was huge and usually enough for two meals. But the last time I went, it was so thin it felt like I spent $17-$18 on mostly cheese and tortilla with a sprinkle of meat. I can also tell you to look at photos from other yelpers and you can tell the difference from what i was served. That was a clear sign to stop coming. The décor is nice and fun, but honestly, the food and service aren't worth it for us anymore.

    Food, service, and experience was great. A buddy I work with and I came here because of yelp and we're glad we stopped by. Everything was awesome. The ambiance is pretty cool. Music fits the setting and it isn't too loud like some other places. Our server was also very nice which added to the experience. By the way.... if you're a fan of horchata you'll be pleased with the size drink yoy get.

    This location is so inviting as soon as we walked in! The staff and service were friendly and fast. I ordered the quesa Birria taco and it was delicious paired with my margarita! Amazing!!

    Great taco spot! Cool vibes, big menu with great flavors, super friendly staff. We've been twice and really enjoyed all the different things we tried. They have some very creative things going on here, not just your average street tacos. Everything has a little special flare to it.

    Nice cantina atmosphere

    From the moment you walk in, you're hit with neon lights, exposed brick, bold artwork, and an energy that feels fun. Service was outstanding. Maria and Teresa were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They knew the menu well, gave great recommendations, and made us feel like regulars instead of first-time guests. Their timing and friendliness really elevated the whole experience. The food coming out of the kitchen was equally impressive. Chef Edgar clearly knows his craft. Every dish was flavorful, no shortcuts, no gimmicks, just solid execution. You can literally feel the care behind the food. The open-kitchen setup, neon signs like "Real tacos and not chingaderas," make this a place you want to hang out, not rush through. Desvelados is doing it right. I'll definitely be back and I already know who I am bringing with me!!

    Omg, my friend and I came here in Cinco de Maya. Unfortunately I only got a picture of their drink. Which was delicious, the food was so good. And so unique. I loved their menu. What a great discovery! We will be back!

It was easy to feel comfortable and even easier to want to come back. They have a really solid beer selection, but the real winner is their cider--it's 8% alcohol, which is insane for a cider, but hey, I'm not complaining. They had the hockey game on, which I definitely appreciated, and they also have a pool table where you can write your name down to play. Not sure if there's a charge for that, but either way, it's a nice touch. They're open pretty late, and while the location doesn't have a bunch of other bars or spots around, the upside is tons of parking--which I totally love. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely recommend checking it out and maybe even making some new friends while you're there. (If you go in, tell the bartenders, I said hi)

We had two separate servers because one went home during the middle of our dinner and both were equally horrible. Not even exaggerating when I say we waited at least 15 minutes after we asked for the check and there were probably only 10 tables in the entire restaurant. And we had to call her back over to ask for a second time. SMH. The food although flavorful was so ridiculously priced it was not even funny. I got a "ribeye ". Was literally eight thin slices of steak, like 1" x 1" size for $42! No, I will not be coming back here for so many reasons. The view is great. Castaways is definitely not what it used to be in the way of quality but at least you get more and you get the view. But definitely not worth it going to this place. It was quite a frustrating evening. Also, if you do decide to go here, just bring a coat when it's a little bit cooler in the evenings cause it does get cold up here and getting the staff to manage the heaters correctly is a whole other frustration. Oh, and valet is your only option for parking up here. It's kind of crazy because a few years ago you could just go park in the lot or the garage that's available there but now they're charging you $11 and it's chaos. I will say that the view up here is great though so if you're willing to forgo all of that for a view for like a one time date or something like that, it might be worth it
