CV has been a staple for a long time. Great food, great drinks, great vibe all around. The food is usually really delicious but recently hasn’t been as good as it should be (especially for the price). Overall, I love coming here and hope they keep everything high quality like it’s always been!

I’ve wanted to visit Casa Vega for a long time since it’s considered a legendary spot. Unfortunately, after tonight’s dinner, it feels more like a one-and-done experience for me.
Parking is valet only, unless you’re lucky enough to find street parking on busy Ventura. When we arrived, no one greeted us while we waited, and when the hostess finally came over, there was no welcome — just a question about party size and whether we had a reservation. It’s a small thing, but when you’re used to basic courtesy, you notice it.
The ambience is cool — classic, dimly lit, with that old-school vibe.
Food was mixed. The albondigas soup tasted a bit salty — maybe it had reduced too much by the end of the day, or maybe it was just my preference. The fajitas, on the other hand, were surprisingly bland. A positive note: they weren’t overcooked like they often are elsewhere. The cuts were large, not too much onion (which some may like), but also not much chicken either.
The guacamole had a slight sour aftertaste — not overpowering, but noticeable enough to feel like it wasn’t freshly made.
Our server was excellent though — attentive and pro. Great service from him.
One more thing: the menu print is quite small, which makes it hard to read in the dim lighting. Also, the payment terminal comes with a tip percentage pre-selected, which feels a bit pushy.
Overall, I’m glad I finally tried it, but I’m not sure I’d come back specifically for lunch or dinner. I can only assume Casa Vega continues to thrive largely because of nostalgia.

This place is historic and is also absolutely one of my favorite places to visit a close friend of mine and I decided to stop here and we had to have the quesadillas. He got his mistake and cheese, but I had to add jalapeños to mine and I didn’t regret it.
The service was incredibly friendly and always very classy. You’re always greeted promptly when you walk in and of course, if you have an extra $10 the valet parking makes it worth it.
I had a wonderful lunch here. I’m gonna come back and try some more stuff but I am absolutely going to make sure this place knows I am super thankful for the great service an amazing food!

Save your time and money!
For having such of a noticeable image in LA and understanding and having tasted solid authentic Mexican food all over LA, this place does fall short with saying that the authenticity has been sacrificed for just for the dollar.
But after saying all of this, The drinks were an absolute dream. I haven’t tasted a proper well long Island in a while and this place killed it. Definitely a great save there

It’s Christmas Time at Casa Vega!!! This place is a staple for a reason. The quality and atmosphere hasn’t changed and I don’t think it ever will. Best margheritas in town and such a delight to always take a seat and soak in the history.

Stopped by after a late comedy show. No wait to be seated. We ordered carne asada nachos requested add on extra meat with additional charge, ordered Jamaica agua fresca and pineapple jalapeno margarita. However after taking our order our waiter never returned to our table and we never received our drinks ordered. Service was poor and our nachos with extra meat fell short. Authentic Mexican cuisine is not what I would rate this restaurant. Canned enchilada sauce was used for our nachos and food was a disappointment. I do not recommend Casa Vega for authentic Mexican food.

I’ve been coming here for YEARS. In the last year, my bf and I have come here at least 5 times + bringing friends and family and going for my bday. So I think I’ve gone almost 10 times this year which is wild, haha. But it’s my fave and I love Mexican food.
Since last November, it has gotten progressively worse. What is happening, my beloved CV?! Service sucks, food sucks. I get the same thing every time which is my favorite: chicken enchilada and sweet corn tamale. For the last FOUR times at least my enchilada edges have been crisped and my tamale is not fluffy at all. The cheese inside is all hard. Like they’ve been sitting and microwaved all day. I read in another review that the food was clearly microwaved and I scoffed at it but now I see what they’re talking about. And last night our rice wasn’t even warm.
And what’s with the rice portions? They look substantial here but they are not. As you can see we ordered extra.
I will say the drinks are always amazing (pictured here are delicious mocktails that I highly recommend) and the two consistently delicious things are the guac and the flan which is clearly homemade and the best I’ve ever had. But guac doesn’t need to be $20 when the rest of your food isn’t holding up. How are enchiladas and tamales being treated so poorly? Please don’t make me choose cactus taqueria over you. :’(

This place has so much charm! It had been around for over 60 years and still feels like an old school lounge with good food. The molcajete was very good, as was the chips and salsa.

Great food, vibe and margaritas. What more do you need? Staff are great. Definitely recommend checking this place out. My friend told me the Kardashians have come here as well if you are into that.

Casa Vega nails the nostalgic California-Mexican atmosphere—it’s dark, moody, and wrapped in that old-school charm that makes you feel like you’re stepping into a Quentin Tarantino frame (which, let’s be honest, you probably are). It’s got just enough kitsch to feel authentic-ish without crossing into parody, and that’s exactly what I come for.
The margaritas? Excellent. Strong, balanced, and flowing. The service? Also excellent—friendly, efficient, and on top of the chaos, even when the place is buzzing. It’s a fun, high-energy spot that’s perfect for a night out with friends when you want some throwback LA ambiance and a good buzz.
Where Casa Vega stumbles is the food. It’s not bad, it’s just… underwhelming. You’re paying a premium for the scene, not the salsa. The dishes are fine, but they don’t really outpace what you’d find at your neighborhood spot for half the price.
So yes, go for the vibe, the drinks, and the memories. Just manage your food expectations and you’ll leave happy. Four stars.
