This was our second time eating here, and once again, they did not disappoint. The first time we came, I had the chilaquiles for brunch, and they were really good. What surprised me most was how much I enjoyed the food because I wasn't necessarily expecting such traditional Mexican flavors. But honestly, one of the best ways to judge a Mexican restaurant is by the salsa--and their salsa is seriously good. On our second visit, I ordered the carne asada plate, and my wife got the beef fajitas. Let me start with the carne asada: the flavors were authentic, the meat was delicious, and the handmade tortillas were a standout. They were so soft and fresh that I honestly think they were one of the reasons I kept going back for another bite. Everything just worked together. I also tried my wife's beef fajitas, and they had some really good, bold flavors. The vegetables, beef, and seasoning all came together really well. Overall, we've really enjoyed both experiences here. Great Mexican flavors, fresh handmade tortillas, excellent salsa, and food that feels authentic and full of flavor. We'll definitely be back. read more

After watching a movie at The Regal, a buddy and I decided to eat here for Sunday Brunch. The place had a nice authenic Mexican atmosphere and was quite busy so I figured this place was good. I ordered the carnita plate and my friend ordered the asada plate with enchiladas. The complimentary chips were tasty and the green salsa was one of the best salsas I've ever had. However, the red salsa was kinda disappointing. So my carnitas came out with a bed of Spanish rice which was nice and fluffy but the beans were kinda salty. The carnitas were juicy and they served a good amount so I took the left over home. The service was good, and there's one more thing I forgot to mention and that's the homemade tortillas. They were way too thick. Other than that, I'd come here again and try some other dishes. read more

I showed up with a party of SEVENTEEN on a Saturday night after a little league game and they cleared their backroom and had us eating complimentary chips and AMAZING salsa in under 2o minutes. The service was outstanding; they refilled said chips and AMAZING salsa three times. The food (generous portions) came our quickly and they refilled the waters before being asked. What can you make vegan? I asked, since the menu didn't mention anything specifically. The waiter, unbothered, began listing what they could make me but I stopped him pretty quickly at enchiladas. They ended up being good but the star of the plate was their vegan rice; it was clearly different from what all the meat eaters got on their plates. There's was yellow/orange, but mine was green and fragrant- cilantro and lime clearly central in the cooking. SO GOOD! I will definitely come back for the service and to try something else from the ready list of vegan entrees they seemed happy to offer off-menu. read more

Ordered a beef taquitos plate through DoorDash. The taquitos, rice, and beans were so bland. I also ordered an horchata and the flavor was off. The tortilla chips were good. Very disappointing. read more

I was craving some Mexican food while in the city of Montrose and La Cabanita had the highest reviews of all the Mexican restaurants in the area so I decided to give them a try. We walked in at 8 PM, an hour before closing, and the game had just started on the TV screen. We decided to order their tacos because they come with homemade tortillas. I must say the tacos were delicious! They came with black beans and rice and a side of pico de gallo. We also got their guacamole and some sour cream on the side. I ordered an Horchata drink, but I did not like it very much, it tasted watered down and not as good as other ones I've had before. Next time I would return to try some more tacos and a margarita instead. read more

This place was so delicious! It was my first time here and I thought the place was super cute, and the server who waited on our table was so sweet. I got the corn soup, and the enchiladas verde with chicken and it was all really yummy! They had some of the best chips I've ever had. The place is really loud though, the walls don't have the best acoustics so it's a little hard to hear your party talking so just keep that in mind but I think they might have a smaller room that is probably better for smaller parties? Not sure though But all in all, this place was amazing and can't wait to come back and try something new! read more

Finally found a solid Mexican breakfast place that reminds me of Mexico City! A hidden gem close to the Montrose Farmer's Market so you can walk around after eating a delicious meal. I really like all the breakfast dishes we got and appreciated how big the portions were! For the machaca norteña, the eggs were seasoned and had the perfect inclusions. Everything tasted amazing wrapped in a tortilla especially with the beans. The omelet with chipotle had a slight kick to it and great flavor! read more

One of the great Mexican brunches in LA. We ordered Huevos Rancheros (because I missed it!) and Carnitas La Cabanita. I finished the Huevos Rancheros as it is a simple dish with two sunny-side-up eggs and corn tortillas underneath plus black beans. The lean pork is soft from the Carnitas dish which includes rice and salad. Cafe De Olla is my kind of coffee and theirs has a subtle cinnamon flavor but you can still taste it which I liked. Their green and red sauce as well as chips are soooo good! Come by and try! The staff are attentive and observant. Their service is excellent! The place is clean and the ambiance is quiet. People seem to enjoy the food. I would love to come back again. 5/5 on this one read more

The chilaquiles were very good; crispy and with a little kick but not too spicy. The burrito was also very good. We really liked the tortilla chips and the salsa verde. We ordered a margarita pitcher which served about 4 glasses. The service was very good and our waiter was super friendly. Will definitely come back to try another dish. Live their mural also! read more

Found this restaurant while in the city for a baseball game. It was open. It was busy. It was 10 AM. Staff was friendly and seated me quickly. It was early but still very charming and lively. I ordered the tacos de arrachondo (I believe). Food came out quickly. My tab was $21. No complaints because of the service, large plate, and the food was REALLY good read more

Went for the first time today. Honestly, everything was incredible. To start, the red and green table salsa were INSANE. I could drink that stuff. So I was already sold right off the bat. Service was excellent, the staff were all so sweet. The vibes were great. Beautiful and comfortable environment. The food did not disappoint either. Kids quesadilla was a super generous portion, which I always appreciate. The beans and rice were delicious. I got the barbacoa & pastor street tacos. 10/10, no notes. Super flavorful. Prices were fair! The carnitas burrito was huge and super tasty. Can't wait to come back honestly. read more

We enjoy going to this restaurant and love to bring family and friends, even though it's not the biggest they can still accommodate large parties. If you come with the least six people, we recommend getting the appetizer platter. It comes with a little of everything, including quesadillas, taquitos, cheese, carnitas, guacamole, and much more. Love coming for their lunchtime specials good deal for the amount of food you get if you go on the weekend you can get as one of the soups and their pozole is amazing! There is a ton of street parking. Just remember to curb your reels so that you don't get a ticket. The staff is very attentive and helpful. If you have any questions we've been coming here for years and we love bringing our friends and family. read more

This place is probably the only good Mexican restaurant in the area. I love their salsas with the chips I always ask for extra. The street al pastor tacos were just okay but the other three tacos were pretty good! I liked the tortilla it came with so much better and the meats had way more flavor. I would come back and get more of those tacos. The blended margarita was just okay I barely tasted alcohol I'll probably do on the rocks next time. Service can be slow if it's busy. Overall good spot for lunch in this area! read more

Tried this Mexican restaurant out for the first time. It's a really nice local spot. It can be a challenge to find street parking so give yourself enough time. There is no restaurant parking lot that I know of. And depending on where you park, don't forget to curb your wheels. There were a few people waiting outside and when we entered, wow it was busy. Not in a bad way. It has a nice neighborhood family vibe to it. Love the interior design. A little snug and consists of a few sections. There's also a bar. We had a large group and were seated in the back where there was more space and tables. We were given chips and salsa, which were pretty good. I ate a ton before the meal and during. I ordered the Chicken flautas plate. The flautas were crispy and juicy. Easy to bite into and not tough. So good with the guacamole on top. And the beans and rice kept me eating nonstop lol. Nothing left on this place. I had it with a negra modelo and it was a perfect meal spent with new and old friends. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Friend and I were craving Mexican food and Joselitos had a very long wait time and we were starving after work and came here. There wasn't a wait.. and now I know why. First of all the table looked clean but was sticky? The food here is very bland, cocktails are expensive and taste incredibly watered down. Our server was very sweet but the whole dinner was mid. I don't think I'll come back. read more

After eating at so many amazing Mexican restaurants, this one just wasn't it. The service was horrible and extremely slow. The food was just okay--not terrible, but definitely nothing special, and I've had much better. The restaurant also didn't feel very clean. The tables were dirty, and the plates and cups looked old and really need to be replaced. Overall, pretty disappointing. read more

First time at La Cabanita and we had such a great experience! The atmosphere was warm, cozy, and welcoming. Our server, Javier, was excellent! Very attentive, patient with our decent-sized party, and very professional and friendly the entire time. He makes an amazing margarita and gave us great food recommendations as well. He also handled all of our party shenanigans with friendliness and good humor, which definitely did not go unnoticed. Huge thank you to Javier and all of the staff for making our experience so wonderful. We'll absolutely be back again! read more

Decent food Slightly overpriced Below par service Hadn't been here in a couple years and the experience tonight wasn't on the level it once was. Service was pretty bad. Not rude just not attentive and kinda scattered. Food wasn't bad just not that great. I remembered the carnitas being a highlight but today they came out dry and not very flavorful. Might have just been an off night but probably won't go back read more

Many restaurants claim to treat their guests like family, few can actually live up to that promise. La Cabanita is one of those few. The waiter let me choose where to sit, suggested the coveted window-side seat, and then gave me FREE chips and salsa! I had two tamales and a green mole chicken. No words. Each bite was perfection. I ordered horchata. Each sip was a welcome home. The BEST Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. I wish there was Mexican food at read more

My wife and I decided to have an early Sunday dinner at La Cabanita. For numerous reasons, (being away from town for extended periods, trying new places, etc) we hadn't dined here in quite some time. We ordered our usual fare, Quesadilla Azteca with chicken and an ala carte chili relleno for me and an ala chuleta and chili relleno with rice and beans for my wife. We had house margaritas and enjoyed the chips and salsas. The service was excellent and everyone was very attentive. The food arrived promptly and was piping hot. It was delicious and nothing had changed....it was just as tasty and satisfying as it has always been since we started dining there over 25 years ago. As I told Josie, the owner/manager when she inquired about our meals, "it's like going home". We had a great meal and stayed to enjoy desserts and a coffee. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and will be back soon and definitely, we won't stay away for very long. The food is too good to do that! read more

La Cabañita is hands down the best Mexican food spot in Glendale. My parents came here for brunch and margaritas on their anniversary, and raved about the food. We are from San Diego, where the Mexican food is far superior to Los Angeles. (Don't even try to fight me.) They raved about this place so much, that we had to come back as a family. We had a big table in the back room, for our large group. They started us with chips and salsa, which is so damn good, we had to request more. Their salsa is BOMB!!! Between us, we had enchiladas, flautas, carnitas, a burrito, and fajitas. The adults had margaritas. Everything was incredible and delicious. The service was incredible - multiple people checking on us throughout our meal to ensure our drinks stayed full. The ambiance was lively - lots of families with kids and parties happening - but definitely not obnoxious. Definitely my new favorite spot in town. Already planning our next visit! read more

I was introduced to La Cabiñita by a dear friend years ago, her son ordered the soup for dinner - I thought it was interesting that he would order just soup for a meal. It ends up this soup has become my favorite soup ever! I ordered: Dos Equis Lager - $8 - draft - served in a glass mug - cold and refreshing! Caldo De Pollo - Cup - $9.33 - Chicken broth with vegetables, rice and shredded chicken breast with two homemade corn tortillas. There are big chunks of potato and carrot, and a generous portion of avocado. If you get the larger 'bowl' size, you get a corn on the cob piece Enchiladas de Mole - $20.74 - Three corn tortillas filled with chicken breast or cheese, topped with their special mole sauce, onions and cheese. served with rice and black beans. beans are garnished with mexican cheese. Flan - $8.29 The soup is really the winner here! - so fresh, so well prepared and it feels so nourishing and healthy! read more

This is my third time here and food was great. Parking is in front. Make sure you curb those wheels even note wanting signs all over the place. The menu is extensive. I had a chicken mole which was made with the chicken breast served with rice and beans although I did substitute salad. The salad has a homemade dressing excellent and the chicken mole was tender. My wife had is stuffed chili, which was fantastic. Service was quick. The restaurant is homestyle. They do have a large room and back for a large partiesand a side room which looks like it accommodates large numbers in the main room which is the bar area we were not rushed, but noise level is high. It's a little difficult on the conversation. read more
