The place has a nice vibe. I got two tacos – birria and carne asada. They were good. My husband got the chile rellano. He said they were good. I wouldn’t say the food is over the top but it was decent. I had the Sangria which was just ok. The pricing is reasonable in my opinion. It was very large, so for the price it was a good deal. The server was attentive and kind.

Fun casual local Mexican restaurant with a great Happy Hour Menu Monday Friday, 3pm- 6pm.
I enjoyed my chile beef releno so much I ordered it twice! The house margarita was very tasty, so I ordered it twice! My friend ordered the burger which she enjoyed. See my photos!
Customers are also friendly too so coming here is a social thing!

Walked by here with a friend that’s a regular of Lula, and went in with medium expectations. The Taco Tuesday Special ($18) is excellent, featuring 2 tacos of your choice + a House Margarita. I’ve been twice, and have gotten the fried fish (decent), the shrimp (amazing), and the carne asada (amazing). The portions are generous and the margarita hits nicely.
They have a Happy Hour Menu that runs Monday-Friday 3-6pm that is pretty appetizing. Draft beer for $6, Marg’s for $10, and most dishes $8-10. Honestly though, most impressed by the Taco Tuesday special!
Great service and will be back very soon.

The sweetest manager who works at the front is always so welcoming and smiley. He let me come in one time just before closing which was so nice. The margaritas are great and the food is very good and consistent. We love the ceviche and shrimp fajitas. The atmosphere and staff are 10/10. Always my go Mexican restaurant to when I am in Santa Monica.

Chicken tortilla soup was full of flavor, and very creamy. The different sauces all tasted very good. All of rhe food we had was very good and the ingredients tasted fresh. Portions are proper, not too big or small. Seemed like a nice local hangout. Eating out back was nice too, dogs are welcome, and the heaters were warm.

I’ve been coming to Lula on main street since I was a kid. It’s still one of my favorite spots to this day! The service is always 10/10. Everyone is so friendly and there’s always a good vibe whenever I go. <3 Definitely stop by for their Taco Tuesday deal! One margarita (WARNING, their margaritas are strong!!! ) and two tacos! (my favorites are the birria and carnitas) Overall, you should definitely try it out! :)

star (only because zero isn’t an option)
Extremely disappointing experience from start to finish. The $17 mocktail margarita was flavorless and absolutely not worth the price — especially for a non-alcoholic drink.
The real disaster was the $36 fajitas. The meat was burned, dry, and rock hard. I counted about five very small pieces, all so tough they were basically inedible. I wouldn’t even give them to my dog.
We ordered three dishes and one drink, waited over an hour for our food, and somehow ended up with a $170 bill. For that price, you’d expect quality and basic service — neither was delivered.
To make matters worse, they charge for tortilla chips, and the salsa had no flavor at all. Chips and salsa are usually the bare minimum at a Mexican restaurant — here, they were an extra disappointment.
I attempted to contact the owner afterward to share feedback, but no one ever answered.
Save your money and your time. There are far better — and much cheaper — options out there. Even Taco Bell would have been a better choice.

Some of the best, tastiest, and most tender meats in an area already saturated with Mexican restaurants. Lula shines also because of the excellent service, the beautiful decor, and the impeccable vibe. Will come back for sure.

Very bad place, so expensive takes forever for a beef burned fajitas to come almost no meat! $36 and a drink $17! We will never go back! Even the sauces to eat with the tortillas chips were bad! Run! Taco bell is much better!
