Darlene JeffersonFebruary 19, 2016The Service is Impeccable! Staff is very attentive! The Food is Delicious! The white chocolate Bread pudding is luscious :-) We always have an enjoyable meal.
Sarah Ann-Marie ThomsonJuly 15, 2011Food is always amazing. Dont miss spicy cocktails and the staff are welcoming and great. Never ever had to wait to be seated so must have chosen good times to go. Can't recommend highly enough
Casa DragonesApril 4, 2013Rick Bayless's LA outpost delivers stunning contemporary Mexican in a high-ceilinged setting. Try one of the superb ceviches with a pour of CD!
Adam PalmerDecember 16, 2014High end Mexican food with great flavour and great ingredients. Get there on happy hour for deals on cocktails.
Sean BesserFebruary 4, 2013Upscale Mexican; Amazing atmosphere/vibe (probably the most beautiful restaurant in LA); food is very good, but not amazing.
Alfredo LewisFebruary 25, 2011If you sit in the lounge don't wear skinny jeans...it's like sitting at a pre school class table.....You are basically on the floor!But it's a fun scene and the food rocks!- Scott KleinbergJuly 4, 2013Rick Bayless is a master of Mexican food. You'll love everything here. I highly recommend the short rib sopes.
Go for their happy hour for the food! Between 5-7, great prices for expetional food.
AllisonOctober 8, 2010I can be pretty critical of restaurants but EVERYTHING we had was incredible! The corn chowder w/ crab is a must, as are the chicken enchiladas and the bunelos.
Erin FrankenheimerDecember 10, 2011Love the staff here. Spicy Marg is the way to go. And the simple chicken enchiladas suizas are more than simply delicious!
Nabil BazzariOctober 5, 2014Nice mexican food with style. Like the decor. Scallops with mash potatoes are amazing- Tasting TableAugust 8, 2012Order the tinga poblana, a duo of pork shoulder and belly with house-made chorizo and chipotle chiles: Read more
JESS KalinowskyFebruary 6, 2014When they first opened they were very arrogant and offensive as they were HOT. Now longer hot! Now can walk in any day anytime almost without reservations.
Chris GarbersNovember 9, 2010Awesome tequila selection. Drinks could be a little stiffer. Getting seated can take some time, even with reservations. Food across the board was very good.
Jackie GonzalezJuly 28, 2010Cocktails- The Alacran is the best spicy. Margarita I have had ever! Food- the halibut ceviche is great and the pescado dish is amazing!- Condé Nast TravelerApril 21, 2011Try the tinga poblana, a tender duo of pork shoulder and belly with homemade chorizo and smoky chipotle sauce.
Usually I get annoyed because this place is crazily overpriced. However, they have a Sunday happy hour from 5-7 that is an epic way to greet the evening.
Lisa TaylorApril 30, 2012awesome margaritas and appetizers but if you have the appetite, order the pork!
Will KivinskiMarch 1, 2013I love Rick Bayless, but this place blows. The cocktails and atmosohere are nice, but the food is mediocre. I actually prefer the food at Frontera Fresco, his quick service restaurant, over this.
Tammy BrownJuly 8, 2013The Casa Blanca margarita is wonderful . The clarified lime juice is terrific.
BriannaSeptember 1, 2010This place does not disappoint! I recommend the beef short ribs sopes, tortilla soup, duck taquitos and chicken enchiladas.
Eric SchwartzmanMay 30, 2010Great ambiance. Great menu. Expensive but not out of control. Suggest pork sopas and colorado lamb. Coordination between wait staff and servers is sloppy. Poorly lit restroom with single sink and stal
Vignesh RamSeptember 24, 2010The plaintain sopes & alacran margarita are vital. Service is top notch contrary to Yelp reviews!
Devran MustafogluSeptember 15, 2010Beautiful restaurant with a lively atmosphere. Recommend the short rib sopes!
Katie HertelJune 15, 2011Bit of Hollywood smoke and mirrors. Take away the gorgeous space and attentive waitstaff and you're left with average food. Which would be totally fine for average prices - not the case here.
Tumara GrijalvaJune 16, 2011A mixture of very good and boring. The drink inovative while the entrees are blandish.
Melissa TeigueNovember 6, 2010Say hi to my friend the Executive Chef Michael Brown! He's an awesome and talented Chef!
