La Isla Bonita

The 17 Best Restaurants In Venice Beach

"We once picked up ceviche from this mariscos truck on Rose and brought it down to hungry friends on the beach. The only problem was, there were more friends than expected and we forgot to ask for forks. Never have we seen such a carnal feast take place. Tortilla chips disappeared in a flash. Hunks of fish were scooped with sandy fingers, and pools of fishy citrus juice were slurped like soda from the bottom of the containers .. All of which is to say, getting in line for ceviche, cocteles, and campechanas at La Isla Bonita is always a good idea. Especially since lunch for one won’t cost you more than $20, if that. " - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren
