    I was bringing my pet to a nearby vet clinic and it took a while so I came in and wow I'm impressed. Great prices great food nice selection. They have their own parking lot. I ordered the orange Roughy broiled. It's on the first floor. Music playing sounds what's not stuffy in here.

    Food was good and it was great talking with Renee she was telling us the owners are from Guadalajara. The flavors are a little different than Mexican flavors. We have a Carna asada wet burrito the red sauce they use on top of the burrito is very tasty they also used it on the enchiladas. We also tried the enchilada and tamale both tasty but a different flavor. The tamale was covered with the sauce which was good but a little over powering for me as I like tamales. Chips and salsa the salsa was mild and the chips were nice and warm.. and although they come in a small bowl but they keep the bowl filled with chips. Great experience friendly people and a lot of local people come here.

    It was my first time here! The food was delicious. Everything tasted pretty fresh! The atmosphere is super cute and the decor was nice. I liked the tacos and the cheese enchilada. The server was so welcoming and easy to talk to! They have seasonal pumpkin flan during the fall I will definitely be returning again sometime to try the desserts! Yum!

    Best mexican restaurant ever and I love the service. I love the people that own it. And the ambiance is very quaint and family oriented. The food is delicious especially the chile relleno. The best in the west!!! My family has Been coming here since 1996.

    I was so disappointed with my To Go Order tonight. I usually am very happy with everything about La Villa, but the portions seem extra small. I paid about $54 for a chile verde combo, an enchilada combo and a burrito. I got 1/2 the amount i usually get (eating in and take out). I know times are difficult but if we're paying about $54 i expect a decent portion. My chile verde was about 1 tablespoons and rice about 1 tablespoon in both orders . Pictures included and put spoon in there so u can gage portion. Very dissatisfied.. On a good note, my sister loved her burrito!

    I love La Villa Kitchen and despite all of the negative Nellys on here their food and the staff are GREAT! The beans are incredible. However....ugh, I hate to say it but I feel it needs to be: the prices have gone WAY up! We came about 6 months ago and a one taco lunch special plate was about $8. Today it's $11.25! It would be ok if the portions match the crazy prices but they stayed the same. I get it, everything's gone up in price but a $3-$8 increase is incredible. The dinners are over $18! Anyway, if you know this place you know their food is great. Sadly, we won't be able to frequent it as often due to the prices and that we can get something less in price for just as good quality.

    Always full at lunch and dinner. But well worth the wait. Been coming here since the 1980s and the food has consistently stayed the same, tasty! They have homemade salsa. All of their food is made fresh to order so it comes out hot. Staff is always very friendly and welcoming. The decor is cute inside. They occasionally have a car show down in that area and the restaurant can get a bit packed. Worth checking the cars out while you wait to eat. It's located down in the Vons center of Via Verde. This is a location that is worthy of taco Tuesday every day of the week.

    What was I thinking!!!

    What was I thinking!! I had a late breakfast at La Villa Kitchen on taco Tuesday, this place starts taco Tuesday specials at 4pm....I was 1hr too early for that. So I had an order of beef flautas, as seen in picture mostly tortilla with a strip of shredded beef and a salad with what, was , supposed to be ranch dressing...OMG!! horrible,dressing was so old it was no longer tasted like ranch,ewww!!! The salsa was ok..nobody cared in that kitchen.... Not for me...

    Nice little Mexican restaurant in San Dimas has live music on Fridays. I ordered the Chile Colorado plate comes with rice and beans and salad. There Chile Colorado is one of the best I have had, nice and flavorful.

They cut off all our ties!! Which honestly, it made for such a fun, unique experience, and I could totally see myself coming back From the moment you walk inside, you're greeted with walls full of previously snipped ties, which was pretty cool to see and definitely added to the anticipation haha As for food, we ordered the Space Dusts, Orange Tequila Martini, Steak & Chicken, Grilled Salmon, baked potatoes, beans, cornbread, and side salads. The steak and salmon were great and I loved that the baked potatoes were a good size and came with cheese, sour cream, green onions, and butter. The ranch for the side salad was also perfectly creamy. Overall, I really enjoyed our dinner and the memories we made that day :)

Its dark, rustic, lively, & all about comfort food. I remember all the quirks to this place & think the whole tie idea is hilarious so I told my boyfriend to make sure to wear one! Haha It was a packed house when we arrived, parking lot & restaurant. We got seated right away since we had reservations so that was helpful! Service was great we had a nice lady who got us all we needed throughout the night! As for the food... mmm there are some things that lacked. The bread wasn't the best, it was dense not soft, plain, not warm pretty much nothing to it. We all ordered different cuts of steak, the trail boss (which was okay I feel like it lacked in seasoning or just salt but the cook was fine) cowboy steak (which we ordered medium rare but came out medium/ medium well) so they were nice enough to bring him a new one so that was great on the service part, everyone else liked their options from the ribeye (he actually just wished there was a bone in ribeye), the NY steak & the filet they all enjoyed. As for the sides, Mac & cheese was just okay. The sautéed mushrooms were good! Corn bread was tasty! Baked beans were alright. The staff also sang happy birthday & gave ice cream to my boyfriend's brother for this bday! They did cut the tie off my boyfriend which we all found humorous & fun! To wrap it up.

But once you walk in, you're greeted by welcoming staff members and delicious food! It was our first time there so we had to try the popular fish and chips dish. We also ordered their coconut shrimp and cajun salmon dish. The coconut shrimp was one of the best I've ever had! It came out piping hot and the coconut taste was prominent. I'm not a big fish person but this place converted me! The Cajun salmon was perfectly seasoned and paired well with the garlic rice. It was crispy but not over cooked. The fish and chips were light but flavorful. And the portion size was a plus! Everything we got out was delicious and was large enough to share. Will come back again to try other menu items.

There was a line when I got here during dinner time, but the line was moving pretty quickly. Services were prompt, and our servers were very friendly. They were also very attentive. We ordered lobster bisque, fish and chips, shrimp taco, and fish taco. The lobster bisque was very flavorful with the perfect texture (it was not too thick or too watery)! It has a lot of lobster meat in it. The shrimp and fish inside the taco was very fresh. The fish had a very crispy batter, but not overly thick. The fish was not oily, and fish was flavorful! The chips was crispy! The kale salad that came with the fish and chips was a surprise! The salad dressing was a bit sweet. It was refreshing. I will come back again for sure! This become my favorite fish and ship restaurant in Los Angeles!

Our server took over 10 minutes just to greet us, and the wait for our food was even worse. Charging $15.95 for a BLTA and then charging extra for tomato is already ridiculous -- only for them to come back another 10 minutes later to tell me they were out of multiple items anyway. Once the food finally arrived, the server never checked on us again. We had to flag someone down ourselves just to get the check. I didn't catch her name because she barely introduced herself in the first place. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place on a Saturday afternoon. The service was awful, the staff seemed uninterested, and the food definitely wasn't worth the price.
