Business Summary what's this?
For three star Mexican, try La Cabana in Venice. Check out this affordable place in the Venice area. The menu is a mix of tex-mex specialties that include empanadas accompanied by a zesty sauce. Know before you go: this place features outdoor dining. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a romantic atmosphere. This place features private rooms, a full bar, breakfast, delivery, and brunch. This restaurant is open late and good for groups.
Since 1963, La Cabana in Venice has been serving great Mexican food. A little senorita pats out thick tortillas by hand on a brick-layered fireplace and a festive strolling guitar trio takes you back to pueblos of Mexico. There's a colorful outdoor patio where you can wash down chips and salsa picosa with over 18 varieties of margaritas. La Cabana serves monster burritos and sopes made fresh from the tortilla comal. The Chile Rellenos are to die for and they have an excellent Carne Adobada (pork steak marinated in a smokey chile ancho and pasilla sauce).
1.0 of 5 stars.

Stick to the simple menu items like burritos, enchiladas, nachos, chile relleno. They are good. THe "Specials" are not worth the price and are put together sloppily. Godd margarits. Good Service.
