"La Cabañita is a homey Mexican spot tucked way up in the foothills of North Glendale, practically Montrose. Despite its somewhat cramped dining room, the place has a fierce following among locals, and for good reason. The margaritas, available in two dozen different flavors and served in wide goblets, are shockingly generous and the food includes a few intriguing regional dishes like shrimp-stuffed chiles marinero and mole enchiladas. We also love that they provide two great salsa options with their chips—smoky chipotle and tart tomatillo—and that the complimentary flan they give out if it's your birthday tastes so rich and caramel-y we’d happily pay full price." - brant cox, garrett snyder, arden shore

Food is good and portions are huge. Quite popular so sometimes there’s a wait. When it’s busy the service can get a bit slower, especially if you’re in the back room. Good assortment of kid options. Margaritas are on the sweeter side. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

I was disappointed with the overall quality of the main dishes. The flavors were underwhelming and lacked complexity. The ingredients seemed fresh, but the preparation fell short. The only redeeming element of the meal was the salad, which was crisp and refreshing. I would not recommend ordering the main courses.

Here's your starter, crunchy tortilla chips, smooth mild red and tangy green tomatillo salsas, both have a fresh tomato flavor. Street taco - fluffy homemade corn tortilla, tender marinated asada, slice of lemon, fresh Pico de Gallo. Good but I ordered a la carte and I thought it was a bit pricey, had to taste it though. Huevos Divorciados two eggs over medium, one smothered in regular salsa and the other in green salsa, separated by a mound of Chilaquiles. Just needed a little salt but all tasted very good. Staff attentive in black uniform. Exercised the "if you have time to lean you have time to clean," philosophy - never saw them just stand around. Atmosphere respectfully festive, not noisy, good music, good vibe. There's a big mural on the wall-if you know you know- zarape curtains, sturdy wooden tables accented with tile, comfy padded chairs. An honors wall leads you to the bathroom with framed celebrity pictures and newspaper mentions and reviews. Bathroom, decorative, clean and stocked. Great place.

Great service by the staff. They were all accommodating and attentive. However, the food was not authentic and mediocre in taste. I really wanted to like it but it wasn't meshing with my taste buds. The green and red salsa for chips was decent and not spicy. Great little town though, quaint and nice for a stroll up and down the streets. Make sure when you park on the streets to curb your wheels they Will give you a ticket. Enjoy.

Went to this place with my family because I saw it in the news. As being Hispanic it was okay not the best I had better at other places. I did go with high expectations but was disappointed. Some of the sauces on the food same like if they are from a can and not homemade.

Tasty Mexican restaurant on verdugo! Quick, and prompt. No outdoor seating, and not dog friendly (understandably!). We were recommended to them by our friend who also recently moved to the area from west la. We have been missing some of the quality, taste, and access to great food. This spot seemed to be closer to the level of quality/taste that we experienced in LA proper. The restaurant is sandwiched between some more car repair shops; easy to miss when driving down the street! There is some limited curb side parking out front. Be aware to turn your wheels into the curb when parking to ensure you don’t have issue with the incline. Apparently the police do monitor and cite this commonly. The restaurant had signs all over to warn its patrons of the ticketing. Salsa was tasty. Food was fresh. They have a large bar, and two large dining sections. Busy, but no wait. We ordered take out, they quoted 10 min, and it was ready in that window. Most of the staff was very attentive, and friendly. They asked if we needed cutlery or anything else to enjoy our take out. We will be back!

Working with La Cabañita for a recent wedding was a great experience! As a wedding planner, I very much appreciate ease of communication and organization when working with other vendor teams. Jocelyn and her team were so easy to coordinate details with both leading up to and on the wedding day. The food was Amazing, and definitely stood out from other Mexican catering I've had before! I hope to work with the La Cabañita team again soon!
