"For more than 20 years, the Camarena family has been serving up the tastiest Jalisco-style Mexican this side of the 405, and for just as long it's been cherished by locals. You might even say we're protective of it. You'll almost never have a problem grabbing one of the 7 tables in the tiny dining room because it really is a well-kept secret. You can't go wrong with the tacos, but try and score a bowl of the chicken soup... so long as they haven't run out which they do almost daily! Yes. It's THAT good." - The Branding Farm

Amazing food. Freshest ingredients. I see Mexican food in a different light now.
What we had:
Quesadillas - fresh and well done. The cheese was perfect.
Chicken Tacos - fresh and excellent. Probably the best I’ve had.
Nachos - fresh and tasty ingredients.

Love this taco spot! The food is fire and super fresh! You get tons of steak in your taco and it’s all really high-quality meat. Service was wonderful and it’s BYOB which now I know for next time!

Charming Mexican restaurant near the beach, perfect for a snack or meal. We enjoyed 2 tacos, an enchilada, flan, and chips & salsa for just $20! Food came out fast. Both indoor and outdoor seating available. Our server was friendly & accommodating :)

This is a fantastic place to have a great meal. The ingredients were fresh and the flavor was rich and well seasoned. My favorite was the chicken soup and the fish tacos. The service was great too. Definitely a place worth coming back to!

Wonderful authentic Mexican gem!
We came here for lunch during our last day of vacation and was impressed by the food here.
The restaurant is nicely tucked away from the buzzing Venice beach but still very walkable if you are visiting the beach.
It is not a fancy restaurant but the food was very authentic and reasonably priced. We ordered some tacos (pork, fish, shrimp and steak) as well as tostadas and loved every bit of it.
Easily best Mexican restaurant we have been during our LA/Palm Springs trip!

Delicious tacos & great prices! Really authentic & fresh 👌 I had the shrimp, fish & chicken, my partner had the chicken, steak & pulled beef. The complimentary chips & salsa are also yum! Nice amount of spice 🫶🏼
