The parking service was adequate. All of our meals arrived at the same time, and there were plenty of gluten-free options to choose from. The food was good, but not outstanding. The margaritas were overly sweet, and there were no alternative options available. The waiter mentioned they use pre-made mixes, which was disappointing. Additionally, the mole sauce was unusually sweet and lacked flavor. While I might consider coming back for the tequila and the table-side guacamole, I will likely choose to dine elsewhere.

Absolutely fantastic Mexican cuisine! The complimentary chips and salsa were a great start, and the margaritas were delightful. The food quality was excellent, and the portions were really generous! The atmosphere is lively, but it's quite comfortable!

I've visited this restaurant a few times since it's conveniently located along my route. I always order the lobster enchiladas and the guacamole made at the table. The food does take a while to arrive, but usually, I'm so relaxed and enjoying my margaritas that it doesn’t bother me. While it's not the best Mexican spot in town—Mexicali is better—I'm coming here now because that's where Leo and Brad went.

I absolutely LOVE CASA VEGA! When I lived in the valley just a few minutes away, I took my mom there for dinner, and it was fantastic. We enjoyed the classic margaritas along with chips and salsa. Their guacamole is prepared fresh right at your table, which is a real treat. I adore their tortillas; they exemplify truly authentic Mexican cuisine! As a chef, I deeply appreciate the traditional flavors that are passed down through generations. The enchiladas and tacos are outstanding. The ambiance is wonderful, too. I recently saw the restaurant featured in the movie Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, and it brought back wonderful memories as I watched Leo and Brad during their dinner scene. I can't wait to return, and I'm so glad they made it through the challenges of the pandemic shutdowns.
