Absolutely fantastic. All of it. The outdoor seating, the great servers, the Prickly Pear Margaritas. The ceviche appetizer, mind blowing. Then the excellent fresh fish of the day on a bed of chipotle mashed potatoes. We will definitely tell our friends and return next time we are in Venice Beach. WOW.

What a great find. Came here for a belated birthday lunch. The cactus tacos were divine. Service was friendly. A little puzzled that they didn't have iced tea, but ok. Overall, a lovely place for lunch with good food.

This was my first time and I had a really great experience. Reservations were pretty easy to make parking was a bit of a chore but there are tons of neighboring restaurants in the area which is great for a Sunday fun day. The staff was super friendly and attentive, the food was great and the server made really great suggestions, spicy margarita was on point will definitely come back
