This restaurant is family-owned. It is self-service. You walk up to the counter to place your order. I was hoping to get a glass of water, but all drinks are bottles for purchase. Luckily, I had 2 fresh water bottles in a cooler in my car. Parking is very convenient, just in front of the restaurant. The people working here are very welcoming. The seating was comfortable. (Please see photo's below.) The food was excellent! Will definitely be back!!!

This place is a little hidden gem. The service is so genuine and friendly. Amazingly delicious flavorful chile rellenos I'm very picky with chile rellenos and this is by far the most delicious chile rellenos I've had. It taste homemade. My son had the asada burrito and he also was impressed, the size, flavor and freshness of the burrito. We had agua frescas Jamaica an agua de pepino really delicious and refreshing. It's so peaceful and quiet. You feel the love that family has working together.

Beautiful, huge, and fresh battered fish and shrimp tacos!!!

Great first experience. Service was friendly. We ordered to go and were not disappointed! Flavor, presentation, and the price for the portion sizes are 5 stars for me. We'll be back to try more menu options :) I just wish they added more that 1 lemon slice on the side. Wasn't enough for me and my two tacos personally but not upset about it since I always have some at home.

My son was super happy with Peña's food & service!

We hired Pena's to cater our son's graduation party and I cannot say enough great things about them! Arturo and his team make fantastic food - everybody raved about the quality! All the tacos were out of this world, and they even make their own tortillas on site! Pena's supplied all the cooking equipment, condiments, paper plates, and utensils so it made hosting so much easier. I will definitely use them again, as will many of our guests. Highly recommend!

Taco bar and the sweet chefs!  Fresh tortillas!  Yummmmm!

We had a 16th birthday party for my daughter and Pena's Tacos did the catering! They were amazing, they set up cooked and broke down! We had Chicken, Beef and Pastor...they provided the utensils, plates and napkins! It looked awesome, such a professional set up! The food was awesome! Tacos, burritos and quesadillas....so delicious! Highly recommend! Thank you for making our party a delicious one!

Are the potato tacos mashed potatoes?

We just hired them for a party - forgot to ask if they will bring their own tables for set-up. I'll call later but just curious if anyone here knows?

What's the number to order? This number on here goes straight to voicemail

A couple weeks ago, I called too and it went straight to voicemail. But since I was nearby, I went in the lot and they were open.

Do they deliver?

Unfortunately not.

Whats the difference between the traditional burrito and the burrito loco?

Size difference

This place is a must visit!!!! How did I not hear about…read morethis place before? Booked a reservation easily for a Friday evening, there's not really a bad seat in the entire place. Cute cocktail bar with a view, The view is incredible at sunset on the outdoor patio. We enjoyed cocktails, beer, and the filet mignon sammie. The food was SO good. Perfect for cocktail hour, but they also serve the full menu from castaway here so you could even order dinner if you wanted. Really beautiful presentation for the cocktails, reminds me of Barton G before it closed. They have a buzz button cocktail which was super tasty! Service was extreme friendly,and accommodating. Everyone was making sure we were satisfied throughout out time there. I will for sure be back, and if you're looking for a cute date night spot this it! I will be back to try more of the tapas!

The Green Room... I am not sure why service gets such a bad rating- never had any issues with that…read more I like their signature cocktails and food options... l am giving them 4 stars only because of the most recent experience that I had... I checked the hours, and it said this place closes at 11. My friend and I came at 9... and guess what... the place was closed. Why? I don't know. We were just told that they'd decided to close early that day. Mind you, Castaway was still open that night. Why would a bar close before its posted hours? ‍

Bloody hell -- Cajun Craving is the spot. I walked in expecting solid seafood. I walked out…read morewondering how the hell they haven't been handed a Michelin star already. Let's start with the Cajun shrimp: perfectly cooked, tender, and absolutely drenched in a sauce so flavorful it should come with a warning label. Not salty, not greasy -- just balanced, bold, and outrageously addictive. You taste it once and immediately know someone in that kitchen actually gives a damn. And the crab legs... my god. HUGE, sweet, and steamed to perfection. You crack into them and it's like opening a treasure chest -- except instead of gold, it's pure, buttery, Cajun-kissed heaven. Now the sausage -- whoever seasons that deserves a raise. It doesn't just sit in the bag like an afterthought. It has its own flavor, completely over the top in the best possible way. Smoky, spicy, rich... it punches through the boil like it's auditioning for its own dish. But the real sleeper hit? THE GREEN SAUCE. Off. The. Chain. A straight-up flavor knockout -- bright, herby, tangy, and absolutely lethal in the way good sauces should be. It elevates everything you dip it in. I could drink it. I won't -- but I could. The whole experience? Different -- but in that rare, memorable, "I need to come back tomorrow" kind of way. Cajun Craving is easily one of the best seafood boils in LA. No nonsense, no shortcuts, just pure, serious, crafted flavor. Five stars. Easy. Gordon Ramsay approved.

Doesn't exist ? Came here and there's no sign that this place even exists ? There's a pizza spot in…read morethe address that it's supposedly supposed to be at. Very disappointed drove an hour just to find out this place doesn't even exist

When we were deciding where to host our wedding dinner, we wanted a place that felt intimate,…read morebeautiful, and centered around incredible food. Palma Ristorante exceeded every expectation. This was the first wedding dinner they've ever hosted, and they made us feel like they had been doing it for years. From the moment we started planning, the owners welcomed every idea with genuine enthusiasm. They worked with our florist, created a custom printed menu just for our guests, and transformed the private dining room into an elegant, candlelit space that felt warm, romantic, and effortlessly beautiful. The food deserves its own standing ovation. Chef Jose's philosophy is simple: let exceptional ingredients speak for themselves. His recipes use minimal oil, allowing every herb, vegetable, seafood, and cut of meat to shine with its natural flavor. Every course was beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how incredible everything tasted. Seeing how Palma's team poured their heart into such an important evening made it even more meaningful. If you're looking for a restaurant that offers exceptional food, heartfelt hospitality, and a team that truly cares about creating something special, Palma Ristorante is a place you'll remember long after the meal is over. Thank you to everyone at Palma for giving us a wedding dinner that was even more beautiful than we imagined. We'll always be grateful.

Olive Garden has more authentic Italian food than this establishment…read more If my nonna's nonna could see what this restaurant calls Italian food, she'd be rolling in her grave. The pasta was cooked to floppy noodles, the sauce was boiled over and broken, and the pizza tasted like they baked the cardboard box and forgot the sauce. The steaks were ordered medium-rare and medium. Both came out well done, dry, and completely unseasoned. The seafood tasted like it went straight from the freezer to the plate. The service was just as bad. Drinks came out one at a time, with one showing up after we had already finished eating. The space is nicely decorated but that does not justify the void of food quality and technique. The only things worth eating were the pound cake and cannoli. This wasn't Italian food. It was an Italian food h¥te crime.

Wanted to try out a new place in Burbank, on Saturday early evening…read more Initially we parked on the street , seems to have plenty of parking around on a weekend. But when we walked in we saw the parking lot, so we moved the car. (Rare for a restaurant to have a parking lot. About 12 parking spots ) The drinks were tasty. I got the lemon drink, wife got the sweet white drink. .(forget the names) Appetizer. Mexican corn ribs. Funny name. Was super tasty. Was going to order the lamb kafta , but a few minutes later the waiter reported it's unavailable tonight. Instead I went with the dolma . I have had grape leaves in the past , my mom would make them. These were amazing. Packed with loads of flavor. No regrets ! My wife ordered the lamb chops, excellent. Service was great. Ambience was good, nice enough for a nice date night. Would return.

Found this place in an effort to avoid the parking nightmare in downtown Burbank. It should be more…read morepacked in this place. It has a great vibe. I didn't take pics or walk around the whole restaurant because I was on a date, but will be returning for more. I had a short rib, beet, cabbage soup of sort. My first bite was a bit more beety tasting than I was expected, but then added the dollop of sour cream provided, and it was like magic. It was a unique combination of flavors. Perfect for a dreary night. Filling and warming, and delicious . The presentation was beautiful as well. My date ordered a steak that also came with vegetables. He enjoyed, and it was cooked perfectly Our waitress was great. She had a good sense of what level of attention each table needed as I watched her. My only regret last night was not ordering some pistachio cheesecake that a table next to us ordered when seemingly just coming in for a quick dessert. This is a great place for a family dinner or a date, or something a little bit more upscale. Love that they had a parking lot, as well as there was plenty of street parking. I'm excited to return to try some more things on the menu. You can also call for reservations, although it was surprisingly not very busy for a Saturday night.
