Fire Mexican food. I'd say the best in Santa Monica/Venice. They give you so much steak and it's high-quality! Also, their salsa is super spicy. it's BYOB and they have a takeout counter for easy pick up.

Really liked this place. The interior was cute and the staff was really nice and attentive. The tacos were all very good I got the asada, beef, and the carnitas. There was free chips and salsa as well which is a huge plus in my book, though it definitely had quite a kick.

This spot is such a gem! Delicious and fresh food, great portions and prices, warm and friendly service, and a nice casual vibe. You can't go wrong here! I've been here a few times and have tried their fish, steak, crispy potato, and shrimp tacos. All delicious! You get an entire cut of fish on the taco, which I appreciated. No skimping on ingredients here! We've also gotten the nachos to split among the table, and others in my party got fajitas and chicken soup. The chips that they bring to the table and use in the nachos are made fresh and you can taste the difference! Everyone gave it 10/10. I also love their tamarindo agua fresca! And my partner loves their horchata. This is a great spot. It's relatively quiet which feels like a nice escape from the chaos of LA. And it's not too far from the beach! It's the perfect spot to come for a casual night out, or after a long day of adventuring. We've now brought out of town guests here twice and both parties really liked it!

This place is a hidden gem! Service is prompt and friendly and the food is amazing. Definitely in our weekly rotation. Portions are good value.

Cute family run spot with tasty food. Lots of yummy sounding menu options but as soon as I saw chile relleno, I knew it would be mine. Hubby chose the pork wet burrito, my daughter had a cheese quesadilla and I had my chile relleno. Food was super tasty but was such a big portion I couldn't finish it. Would return again.

Located just off a busy street with other dining options, parking is available along the street. The atmosphere is very casual, and the staff is incredibly friendly. While not strictly authentic, this restaurant embodies the essence of a classic, hole-in-the-wall Mexican eatery. The coffee horchata is a delightful twist on the traditional drink and is worth a try. The food, especially enjoyable after a night of drinking, is tasty and satisfying. Overall, a great choice for a casual meal with a welcoming vibe.

Cinco Estrellas! We loved this authentic Mexican place. What a pleasant surprise in the midst of so many other trendy restaurants that come and go. Food was fresh, delicious and well portioned just like it came from a family kitchen. The pork carnitas platter was incredible, the meat was tender and tasted like it came from a campfire, the frijoles were soft and buttery smooth. Must go for the guac and the salsa is for real hot! The tortilla chips were thin delicate, fresh and very tasty. As for the service it was friendly prompt, and all around right. We chose to sit outside because the weather was so beautiful but the interior is nice as well. Nothing fancy or pretentious here. Just great food and great people!

Best steak taco I've had in a long time. The meat was tender and well seasoned. Then the green salsa on top adds a nice spice to the mix. 10/10 would recommend. The carnitas was also amazing. Tender, well seasoned and has the same green salsa Just a note, as of early June 2023 they didn't have a license to sell alcohol. I was really hoping for a beer with my tacos and was disappointed when I couldn't but then the food and service completely made up for it. Our waiter was very nice. Apologetic when we found out there was no alcohol and helpful by adding we could byob. Sounds like this place is still new so they're working on getting the license. The waiter also had sensed we were in a hurry and was quick to bring us the check when we were finished. He was really on his A game and we appreciated that
