Bandera has become a staple in the restaurants that I frequent in LA. The food is fantastic, but I usually don't stray to far from the tuna poke, macho salad, and banana pie for dessert. But when I do stray everything I have tried has been great. Also, you can bring in your own bottle of wine for dinner which can really make a difference in your bill at the end of the night. My friends and I go here a lot and the only bad thing I can say is that if you don't have a reservation you have to wait a long time, but the plus side is that there is usually good people watching and great live music being played.
Pros: No Corkage Fee
Cons: Long wait if you don't have a reservation
