    What a great meal amazing flavors from start to finish. The service is absolutely incredible, warm, and attentive. The ambience is perfect: you can watch sports, enjoy a relaxed dinner, or just listen to good music and unwind. We're here tonight for a family dinner, and it's truly great for kids as well. What makes it even more special is that it's family-owned, and you can feel it everyone works together, and the hospitality is genuine. You don't just feel like a customer, you feel truly welcome. Highly recommend for families, friends, or anyone looking for great food and a great atmosphere.

    Presidente margarita
    Tracy P.

    Checked this place out on a quiet Wednesday evening. The place is spacious with a dining area and separated bar. Everything is super clean. First impression that everything is priced fairly, at about $17 per plate depending on Cadillac Margarita was delicious with the perfect kick. Beautiful presentation like something you'd see from a fine dining Mexican bar. My entree was a barbacoa taco (shredded beef) and chicken enchilada. The taco was crispy and the beef was tender. The enchilada wasn't as good as the taco but still solid. Tortillas seem house made. Light and fluffy. Super solid spot that I ended on coming back to often. 9.5/10

    My son and I thought we would give this place a try. Fairly empty at lunch hour. Service was quick and friendly. Bar tender and waiter who made our horchata on the spot. Best I've ever had. !!! We will have to make this a weekly go to spot. We will be back.

    Fajitas, Mixed Ceviche, spicy mango margarita Shrimp Ceviche Asada Taco
    Rachael I.

    I had a long day and went to this restaurant with 1 of my girlfriends and I'm so glad we looked on Yelp for a new spot because this was just what was needed after my exhausting day! The food is mouth watering thinking about it while typing this review! I got the chicken fajitas which were probably the best I've ever had. My friend got the ceviche and carne asada and she said it was on point as well. The service was great! The waitress was so hard working despite all her tables and the blasting fun music (people singing kareoke were amazing.) the margaritas were so flavorful and strong. I recommend the spicy mango and cucumber margaritas! I will definitely be coming back thank you so much!

    Fajitas play become my favorite, but they have a taco too from fresh tortilla and big tacos!!
    Patty F.

    I love display. Especially because it's run by family. They're very nice very nice bartender. They had a good bar and they had the best fajitas place. I love it. And you can watch the soccer game and have your favorite drink.!!!

    Racist server who refused to serve me
    Ajahn B.

    Very racist establishment. Me being black they didn't want to serve me. I even handed them cash and they held it from me to act like they can't give me any change for my order. Then proceeded to not let me order any food. I even requested just a lemonade drink and they refused even though I gave them exact change if you're black you won't be served here.

    Inside decor

    The shrimp dishes and fajitas are so good! Great margaritas and Dj music! Fun lively friendly restaurant definitely try for the food and value!

    Cucumber pineapple margarita
    Valerie D.

    Place is pretty big and clean. Friendly service with a smile. The food was really good. I was pleasantly surprised. I had the carne en su jugo and it was delicious. Our friends had the fajitas and the mole enchiladas, and they couldn't stop raving about them. I also had a cucumber pineapple marg. It was a bit sweet but really tasty. Karaoke was on fire. It's a ways away from where we live, but it may be worth the drive.

I'm constantly going to revival and old theaters like The Egyptian, New Beverly, and Aero theatre and wanted to add this one to the rotation. Essentially, they transport you back in time to the early 20th century when movie theaters started taking off! And not just about the old films they show, we're talking OG Dr. Pepper in a glass bottle and lobby cards and photos on the wall. A giant Wurlitzer organ where our organist started off the night's festivities with a few words of history and a few songs on the organ. We even did some sing-alongs lol. Everyone in the red vests are volunteers keeping this running. You can sense the deep passion they all have for preserving this history and a deep love of cinema. Got a brochure calendar for showings through June and will now make sure I come out at least once a month.

They had a cool set up for margaritas and I was impressed with the fresh Aguas they had to mix the margaritas. I got the Tamarindo and Mango one added a shot of tequila and mezcal, the price wasn't that bad and they were good and refreshing. They also had beer selection and mixed drinks at the other bar. Their service was great and all the staff were friendly, if you needed help with anything or finding your seat there was someone always there. They had a food truck vendor outside that has Oaxacan food and also had food inside and it looked really good and fresh. The venue inside was very classy and loved the section we sat we could see well and enjoyed the music and show. Can't wait to be back to catch other concerts I def prefer this location than bigger venues. The parking was easy, wasn't that far of a walk and for our easily and they have people guiding which is a plus for me. Such a neat venue for sure!

I don't think you can take in anything but water, I just don't recall. They also have soda and all their snacks are in the cute logo bags. You can tell the volunteers are proud of this place and they should be. There is not a bad seat in the house. The seats are comfortable and the entire space is spotless. You can even go outside if you need a break or there is an intermission. We took out grandson to the see The Bill Withers Songbooks and it was amazing. The sound was perfect. The singer and his band were just great and he sounded like Mr. Withers. He also did some of his own music and it was great. Getting in and out is easy. The patrons are nice. The staff is the best, There is nothing not to like so you must go. Use their website or Google TOCA and you will find a list of upcoming events. The area is safe, it is all just wonderful.

Wasn't too crowded upon arrival, but as it got closer to race time, the humongous back patio was flooded with spectators, mostly college kids from the looks of it. Im not into crowds so it wasn't the most pleasant setting. The bartender was helpful in describing the available seltzers so I could make a choice. I also needed dinner so decided to go with a smashburger and fries, which was nothing special but was still devoured given my hunger level. Had to fork over steep Westside prices for a small meal that didn't fill me up and one drink. We left after the races were under way. I felt bad for the turtles with so many drunk kids hovering over them and all the lights and absurdly loud speakers. On any other night, it would be a cool place to sip a brew with the ocean breeze in your hair and toss some cornhole bags around with pals. One more note: parking can be scarce being on a busy street. Make sure to check street signage. I got lucky and snagged a close spot but others may have to walk a bit.
