Looking for sexy simple and downright good Mexican...you found it. Enjoy the dimly lit dining room and indulge in any number if great dishes. Guac and ritas are on point.

This 60-year-old mainstay is perhaps the most iconic Mexican restaurant in the Valley, where big, cheesy plates and blended margaritas are the name of the game. Read more

Get the Burrito Empanada hybrid! Filled with your choice of meat, along with refried beans before it's fried, this beast is then topped with salsa, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. Read more

Great margaritas. The blended coconut is amazing. But the hostess staff is less than friendly and the food isn't anything to rave about. I can get better Mexican food in Tennessee.

Opened 1956. Dark, vintage Mexican restaurant with burgundy leather booths brick walls and great original neon signs.

Happy 55th year Ray Vega! The booths are so dark it's best to sit up front by the bar. Don't forget to order the carnitas and cheese enchilada/chicken taco combo plate while you're at it.

Their new Sunday Bloody Mary cart is awesome. Best Bloody Mary I've had... Cucumbers, Olives, Celery, Peperoncini's... Mmm👍. (Service much friendlier Sundays too!)

Visited for the first time for lunch. Light crowd, great food, and our server was super-nice to our daughter. Great first experience!

Awesome! Yummy food and drinks. Great healthy, vegetarian and vegan selections!!!!
Jenny GJuly 2, 2013
Don't listen to those fools!!! We are here for lunch and the service is fantastic plus the best food to boot!
Jeff PorterMarch 10, 2017
I like this place and the food is decent, but wow is it expensive! For 2 people having Mexican food with only one alcohol drink still end up paying almost $100 bucks!

Get the lobster enchiladas!!! Best ever! I mean, I haven't tried them yet but everyone says their great 😊
TOMMY GIBBSJanuary 18, 2014
TOO DAMN CROWED AN THE ENTRANCE AND THE BAR NEED TO BE BIGGER REMODLE, HOWEVER THE CARNE, ASSADA, BURRITO IS THE BOMB!
Robert BankheadSeptember 5, 2014
Food and drinks are great. Service is good. Like the gave setting... great for dates and family eating
Briefly CaresJune 22, 2011
Yes crowded on the weekends just get there about 7 and you'll be in good shape, you'll be in even better shape when you order the crab enchiladas.
Owen SzaboApril 7, 2014
Have a drink at the bar while you wait to be seated. Get a margarita of course. Tell them you know Owen
Sarah MkAugust 25, 2012
Can't make reservations. BUT they have the best quesadilla. (also, try the ranchero burrito) Awesome.
KatrinaJanuary 28, 2015
Popular place for drinks on weekend. Decent food but definitely a good hang out bar in the valley.

Best happy hour margaritas... You can't beat $5 & they are strong and good
Melody HanJuly 26, 2021
Happy hour margs are great, and that and the ambiance are what you’re there for bc the food is only so-so
Tucker AustJune 2, 2017
Good margaritas, but everything felt a little over priced.
Brad HerschbergerAugust 25, 2012
Great Skinny Margarita... A must try if all the Sweet&Sour of a regular one is just to much!!
Linda PosnickMarch 5, 2014
Great atmosphere, the food not so great. I had the avocado salad, lots of iceberg lettuce. The vinaigrette dressing was horrible. A cross between French and vinaigrette dressing. Yuck!
Brett HuntJuly 26, 2013
If your hungry, best hope your entire party is there otherwise you don't get a seat :-(
Erik OstermanSeptember 21, 2015
Ambiance is nice, but food has gone to hell. Been coming here for 20+ years, but something has changed. Food is just not that good. Waiters are inattentive. Frequently get served the wrong thing.

Lunch specials and happy hour make this place worth it. Be prepared for a long dinner wait though.
Natalie RotmanDecember 2, 2011
for comfort food - no one can touch Casa Vega. Get the Tostada Chiquita + Cheese Enchiladas. Rub your belly all the way home x

Ok, so this used to be a fave, but in recent years the food has taken a downturn. Now it's confirmed, I'm not returning, suffered sickness after eating here. Shame, as I loved the atmosphere :(

Try the Burrito Empanada.
Janae SJuly 3, 2022

The lobster enchilada is highly recommended!
Kindred SheppardJanuary 19, 2014
The wait is long... but well worth it... the food is good.
Brittany EllisJune 24, 2011
This is still probably the best Mexican food in the valley. Delicious!!!!
Daniel H.September 2, 2013
Over-hyped, average food - expensive for what you get. Mediocre service. But, did see a movie star while dining. Tortilla soup is better at Baja Fresh.
JBSeptember 5, 2012
Kitchen open until 1AM. Bar open until 2AM.

Amanda FaloccoMarch 15, 2011
Whatever you choose to order, get the guac as an appetizer!
Karen SteinJuly 4, 2012

Brian EdwardsJune 5, 2019
Delicious, but it's quite expensive now.
