i had heard mixed reviews so i decided to try it out when i was feeling like some mexican. ICK! even if she hadn't mentioned it, it was pretty obvious that neither my friend or i would ever return to la cabana. the menu is unorganized & so hard to read and as i read in a previous review, nothing on it is very enticing. it was very hard to order something that included everthing or anything that i usually look forward to when dining mexican.
first, they don't have black beans. however, when i saw that the empanadas had black beans i asked ""oh, don't the empanadas have blk beans?"" our server had no shame in confessing that they were pre-made. i clarified, ""so they are frozen and reheated?"" and the answer was yes. how do they get off charger $7 for something thats thrown in the microwave?!!!
secondly, they only have pork tamales that are dry and disgusting.
thirdly, they couldn't be shadier with the guac...it doesn't come with any entrees and is barely present is anything else! marketprice? come on, its guacamole not fresh toro!
thirdly, i cant believe they won ""best margarita in LA"". way too watery.
overall i'd say pass & go to el cholo, its delicious and way more reasonably priced.
oh yeah, the beans are totally crusty like mentioned in another review...another sign of reheating.
Pros: authentic mexican interior and nothing else
Cons: FOOD, SERVICE, VALUE. plus with the check they gave us two smashed lollipops! thanks a lot.
