Great ambience and great food! A big shoutout to Nikki who was so nice to us and made sure we were well fed and comfortable. The tacos were outstanding and heavenly! After a hot tiring day at the beach, it was amazing to have the refreshing Baja Mangonada! Do try it and you won’t regret it! :) If you are in Santa Monica and looking for a Mexican place to eat, this is the right place!

Absolutely one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The chicken was very juicy, their green salsa was absolutely delicious, and the tortilla chips were very warm. The portions were very generous too. This is a place I would return to for sure. Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: Yes Takeout: Yes … More

The food here was incredible. We ordered chicken tortilla soup and braised short rib enchiladas. The quality of the food and service were exceptional. The view was beautiful as well!
