I won a gift card at a work event a loooooong time ago and decided that I should use it before it was too late. Kind of glad that I did, since the server indicated that they had a upgraded the system and no longer could use the gift card. He was awesome though, because I had the receipt that the buyer obtained when they purchased the card that showed the balance and they still honored it. The great customer service did not stop there....since coming into the restaurant, we were greeted and felt welcomed. Several tables were already occupied but it was not too busy for the Sunday lunch hour. The host asked where we wanted to be seated and we choose seating by the windows. It was a super hot day outside and I appreciated the cool AC inside. Their menu was extensive, lots to choose from. My parents got the chicken fajitas and the shrimp/octopus cocktail. I ordered the super gordo burrito with carne asada and with red sauce on top to make it wet. Food came out quickly and hot. Portions were generous, food tasted fresh. Our server made sure that we were doing well by coming over a couple of times, but not excessively where we felt uncomfortable. He was great in answering questions that we had about the menu. We didn't go to the restrooms, but the restaurant itself was clean. The vibe of the restaurant was casual. Plenty of parking in their lot in front. There was a little stage in the restaurant and I inquired if they do events and they said that they do. They can also help you host birthday parties or any other celebration if needed. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Service was amazing! Can't stop raving about that! read more

Great food, nice ambience, outdoor seating, a full stocked bar. Amazing staff fast, kind and professional. They do have tvs with sports playing. Nice little place, you should check them out! read more

The food here is amazing! The service was excellent, and everything came out quickly. We finished every bite of our meals--that's how good it was! We ordered two micheladas along with the Camarones Rancheros and the fajitas. The handmade tortillas were delicious, and they offered a great variety of sauces to pair with the fajitas. They also have live music on the weekends, which creates a fun atmosphere, and there's plenty of space for dining in comfortably. If you're craving delicious Mexican food, I highly recommend checking out this spot in Newark! read more

Every time I come here I'm impressed with whatever I order. I really enjoy the chile relleno and Cochinita Pibil. The meat is so juicy and flavorful. The Mole and fajitas are also excellent. They have a full bar. Pours are always a bit heavy. It's a large restaurant, perfect for large groups. It's casual and loud with music playing throughout. Service is always great and staff is very friendly. read more

Decent place, wouldn't say it's oh my gosh so amazing. We got some chilaquiles to go for breakfast recently & i should've taken a picture but they were pretty good! A little spicy for those who don't like spice but i myself loved it. The packaging to go was impressive, everything was separated & well organized. Inside the restaurant was a homey mexican vibe like i was at my abuelas house which i appreciated, one day i will dine inside to see how the customer service is but for now i give them 4 stars based off the food & packaging! read more

I came here with friend who recommended this place. It has nice casual ambiance and friendly staff. Service is bit slow. We had all vegetarian food. There are lots of options that can be vegetarian upon request. Loaded nachos are super yummy and very feeling. Enchiladas with chile verde is very delicious. Chile relleno is regular. Vegetarian crunchy tacos and quesadillas have lots of veggies like zucchini, mushrooms etc. it made our day !! I would love to have more seasoning to it but their salsa is bomb which helped to balance. We will definitely come back to try more dishes !! read more

The environment is clean, and the restrooms are spotless! It's spacious with plenty of seating. The atmosphere is fantastic! Plus, they have singing on Fridays! Every dish is generous in portion and absolutely delicious. It's perfect for friends and family gatherings, and great for birthday celebrations! Seriously, every dish here is better and more skillfully prepared than typical Chinese food! The service is excellent! They specifically ask you about your preferred spice level and if the taste is to your liking. They even went the extra mile and gave us avocado dip to go with our meal! read more

Service was exceptional. The staff is friendly. inside the restaurant was traditionally decorated. The food was delicious but I felt it was "safe" spicy. I love a salsa that has a bite; this salsa was mild which was disappointing. I wish it would have been a bit more spicy. it would have made me crave more. The most important thing about this restaurant is that it did not rush us out to turn a table. They let us linger until we were ready to go. read more

The dining room is casual yet stylish. The server met us with a big smile & let us choose our table. This was a special lunch treat from a friend & it definitely felt like it! She ordered the Crab Enchilada & she had me at crab & creamy cheese sauce. I've never seen this in other menus so I was intrigued. It didn't disappoint. You have to try it if you're looking to try something new. read more

I went for dinner here last week and ordered the shredded chicken burrito. It was moist, tasty and a great size. The servers were all very friendly, accommodating and quick at getting us a table. We loved the food and drinks so much we came back again today and had another great experience. I hadn't been here in many years before this and I have to say this place has really become a hidden gem in Newark. The food, atmosphere and workers are amazing. We will definitely be making this one of our regular dining places. read more

Samuel was great server food was tasty and light great booth seating and customer service 10/10 I would go back price was reasonable

I just moved in the area so I decided to give this place a try! (I've come by once but years ago). I was not disappointed. Service was amazing. Food was great too! I had the menudo and fish ceviche. The ceviche had some sort of chipotle sauce so it wasn't exactly what I think of when I think of ceviche, BUT it was Smokey and good. My man got a wet burrito. There was nothing left! I also got a Michelada with negra modelo. Also great! We will be back! Thank you! read more

Came here with a group of ladies for a mom's night out and we had the BEST time! Food was AMAZiNG and came out super fast! I also had a passion fruit margarita and it was delicious . Later in the night they turned down the dining lights and on the party lights and did karaoke and it was SO fun! So glad I found this place. I was tired of the same old boring spots for mom's nights - this is my new go to! 10/10! read more

La Cabaña - Mexican Near Me - Newark, California

Decent Mexican food spot. Ample parking in the parking lot. Staff is very friendly. We come here when it's not very busy. Which is great because we can sit where we want. But it's not so great because the food takes forever to come out. That is the only downside to dining here. The food is pretty good. It is a little on the pricey side, but their portions are great. The food is very fresh and tasty. I don't have any complaints about the food. Sometimes, they can be a bit inconsistent, though. We ordered the mini chimichangas twice already. Once, they just placed 3 on a plate and called it a day. The second time we ordered them, they made a very nice presentation with guacamole, fresh slices of tomatoes, sour cream, and shredded cheese. It was a meal within it itself! The food is decent, so I will still keep coming here. read more

Excellent customer service and food. The staff of La Cabaña were excellent to their customer. I went there for my Spanish project and the gentleman happily helped me do my assignment.

I have lived in Newark for 39 years. I have been in this establishment twice. The first time was for business (and didn't eat) and today it was to eat. La Cabana has been completely revamped and under new management!! The service was top tier, and the food, well, let's just say I didn't think you could make a street taco sexier than what they served. The presentation was clean and screamed, "Eat me!" Once I dove in, OMG, to die for. Marinated carne asada, purple onions that were soaked in probably a pickled vinegar had a tangy flavor, topped with verde salsa and cojita cheese. Probably top 2 street tacos I've ever had. Highly recommend and curious if other items on the menu are as delicious. Impressed! read more

My family and I have been coming here for over 10 yrs. and this restaurant has made significant changes such as sports bar atmosphere but not taking away the family style look. Perfect place for sports fan to spend time with family as TV's are setup all around the restaurant. They offer a patio setting as well. Our family has enjoyed many private parties over the years. Food and drinks are fabulous and authentic Mexican cuisine read more

Visiting from So Cal I was looking for a good menudo spot- the place I wanted to get from was closed so I yelped near by Mexican restaurants and found this place a mile away- I was hesitant at first because place looked a bit empty. Entering the restaurant I was greeted and waited patiently to order- restaurant was very clean! It has big screen tv's with sports on and I also noticed they have a bar. I ordered 1/2 menudo and a Jamaica to go .. a gentleman brought out the drink and first sip I knew it was authentic!- rushed to my daughters place to try the menudo and let me tell you!!! I found my new spot!!! Meat is very tender (soft) flavorful, clean which is the most important thing for me- menudo pieces were cut it edible pieces not too large and the hominy was delicious! No handmade tortillas but I'll take delicious menudo before handmade tortillas any day! Thank you La cabana for not disappointing me!! Menudo was delicious!!! I will definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

Haven't been here in three years and was happy to see they were still in business. Food was really tasty and cooked to our liking. The woman bartender that made my Margarita -- great job !!! Nice and frothy the way I like em. Service was very accommodating and attentive to our requests.... Good salsa with the chips!! Inside ambiance could use an update but the Mariachi singers made up for it! Sure could use more customers as we went on a Friday night and barely a third full. Hope it picks up! Salute! read more

The most amazing staff, service, food and drinks!! All of that in one place is hard to find! My daughter (who is the pickiest eater) said her quesadilla was the best one ever LOL read more

It's always funny when people think I don't speak and understand Spanish. While I waited 10 minutes to pickup my order, an employee and customer had a very inappropriate conversation, even referencing how long they were making me wait and laughing. My order was $11 more than I was quoted on the phone and higher than their website and the prices Yelp had listed. When I asked about the discrepancy the employee acted like he didn't understand what I was saying. Classic. I was hungry and had kids waiting for their food so I had no choice but to pay. And about that food...average at best. Not much flavor and overcooked. What a terrible mistake it was to give this restaurant a chance. The atmosphere during the day was extremely depressing. Few people drinking at the bar and only one table, with two people eating. This place is a step above a dive bar. An employee was also seated at the bar with their laptop and paperwork taking up a lot of space. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. read more

The Chile Relleno was very good and huge. I never had such large Chile's. Lol. Service started out great but was a little slow at the end. No big deal, the meal more than made up for it. Owner was very nice and attentive. If you haven't been here in a while, definitely give it a try! read more

Minus one star for not having real Ranch dressing. Our most recent dinner here 2 days ago we added the green dinner salad (extra charge) to our meals, both with Ranch dressing. I know Ranch when I taste it and this wasn't it and my dinner companion agreed. Tasted mainly like plain mayo with maybe their own spices (if any) to attempt to make their own homemade ranch - it was not good. We love this place, but this deserves mentioning. Don't advertise Ranch dressing if you don't have any. read more

This is our go-to Friday spot. Their mojitos are superb . I usually get the enchilada suizas (their salsa verde is bomb.com). Hunny gets the carne asada plate. Since moving here from So Cal, it's been hard to find Mexican food that can satiate our cravings. I would even go as far as to say, "oh, how I miss Albertos!" For my So Cal peeps they know what I mean! Lol. This place def satisfies my craving. I recommend trying the beans, enchilada Suizas, and the mojitos! The owners are onsite taking orders and serving. They are great at making you feel welcomed and ensure your taken cared of. With the pandemic, I'm sure some servers had to be furloughed or let go, so service can be a bit slow but keep in mind he and his wife are def taking on many hats. It's now the new norm and what many local restaurants have to do to stay open. Patience, compassion, and support is needed to keep our local restaurant doors open. Especially when they're food is good! read more

Quaint restaurant and cantina tucked into a corner off Thornton. Excellent margaritas and the food is fresh, from an extensive menu that goes beyond the standard taqueria fare otherwise found in Newark. Good atmosphere, blending modern with traditional through tasteful murals rather than tchotchkes. My only criticism would be that it can get quite loud as the place starts to fill up. Standout features include attentive staff and the lovely covered, lighted, and heated patio. Often it is reserved for parties, tonight (first Saturday of the month) was a stand up comedy show. Show was well run, and there was no pressure to purchase anything although there was a server on hand so folks didn't have to go out to the bar on their own. No cover but tips appreciated. I really like the margaritas here, I've sampled them all and they are all tasty and potent. The salsa is no joke. Giving the place five stars because we have nothing else like it in town, everything I've had on the menu has been good, and I really feel the hospitality when I come here. read more

I'm very disappointed in this restaurant. They left out my entire dinner on my Grubhub order. When I called them, the man on the phone said, "Oh, this is totally my fault". He then told me he would not send the item out to me because, "It would cost me too much money". Really?!? He then said I can come get the dinner myself and I could get a free appetizer. This is terrible service and the food my family got was not so good. read more

Would give zero if I could. Ordered to go and just horrible. Don't waste the $$ This was the first time where got it home and it looked so bad.. went back there to get a refund. Chicken fajitas were just nasty looking and smelled. Did not even think of eating it read more

Heard how good the food was so had to check it out for myself. Our service was spectacular and the owner even came to introduce himself to us. I had a perfectly made classic margarita and my dinner was so yummy! I was shocked at the portion size for the price. I literally took 2/3 of it home! Everything tasted fresh. Our bill was around $45, for 2 alcoholic beverages, 2 huge entrees, and dessert (also very good!) how can you beat that! Plus my bf and I had left overs for lunch the next day. We will def be back! read more
