Great little restaurant in the middle of Olivera Street! We stopped in for a nice family lunch after going to the California Science Center. The food was good and the margaritas were tasty. There was a mariachi band that walked around and serenaded us while eating.

Location is the best part of this Mexican cantina. Prices are expensive for a Mexican restaurant. Portions are big, with great flavors. Over $10 for a Margarita and around $15 a plate but you will end taking food home. The area is great for shopping Mexican items. Guacamole is delicious, but our order had big chunks of avocado which I would normally prefer smashed.

Delicious Mexican Restaurant on Olvera Street with authentic Mexican food at very reasonable prices we shared an Appetizer Plate and it was plenty of food for the two of us. Gustavo was our server and he did a fabulous job. The restaurant is usually very busy ( at least on weekends), so expect a wait at peak times. The ambience is lively, with wait staff wearing traditional Mexican colorful clothes- all adding to the fun. Mariachi players are frequently there, and are happy to play some delightful tunes for a tip. There are both outside and inside tables, and it’s common to see people waiting 45 minutes for a table. The staff are all effecient- there are just A LOT of customers waiting. The food is always delicious and definitely worth a visit!

The staff is awesome! The food was delicious ! Got 3 tacos, shrimp al mojo, Pollo de mole, and carnitas with beans. I wasn’t expecting them to be so filling I couldn’t eat them all. I gave it 4 stars because we got sat outside on a hot day and there was hardly a breeze. Other than that have to go back. My micheladas were awesome as well

Was such a big meal, seasoned very well. But the steak was unevenly cooked but still tasty and tender. Good chips

This is more for ambience than for their food. I’ve been coming here for over 50 years. Today was strictly for nostalgia. I ordered the machaca and also the chorizo and eggs breakfast. Both made you wonder “where’s the beef”?! I guess with the increased rent, labor coats, taxes and cost of doing business in LA, they had to cut back somewhere. Which I suppose is why the place was so empty on a Sunday morning. But it did leave room to go out and get a couple of cookies and a snack on the way out. But i am spoiled with great places to eat in san Diego which has the best Mexican food on the planet. Word to the wise, stop in for a house margarita and maybe chips or nachos then head over to Cielito Lindo for some rolled tacos rice and beans cause you only get on at this place.

Established in 1924 as the first Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles, this family-owned cafe and cantina serves an array of timeless, authentic Mexican dishes ranging from tacos to margaritas. The crispy tortilla chips and medium salsa verde are delicious, as well as the juicy chicken enchiladas with mild salsa verde, which are complemented by refried beans and zesty Spanish rice. The staff are helpful and the building itself is strikingly historical; it even has a fireplace! I highly recommend La Golondrina the next time you visit Olvera Street.
