We came for a little Sunday guac sesh and left with smiles and new friends. Our pal up front was playing music and drumming on the salt and pepper shakers. Good vibes and good.

What an unforgettable night at this hidden gem of a Mexican restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch - our server was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. But what really made the evening special was the food: authentic, flavorful, and generously portioned. Every bite was a delight.
The atmosphere was lively and local, with vibrant decor and a cozy vibe that made us feel like we were in the heart of Mexico. And then, the pièce de résistance: a surprise serenade from the in-house mariachi band, complete with lilting trumpets and soulful vocals. It was like something out of a movie.
The whole experience was just so much fun - we'd highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a truly immersive Mexican dining experience. Be prepared for a night of great food, great service, and maybe even a few spontaneous sing-alongs.

La Cañada Grill in LA is a great spot for a casual meal with friends or family. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. The food is absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Their tacos, grilled meats, and salsas are standouts that keep you coming back for more. It’s a laid-back place where you can relax and enjoy a satisfying meal without any fuss. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable for the quality you get. One big plus is the ample free parking, which makes dining here even more convenient. The atmosphere is cozy and unpretentious, perfect for a chill dining experience. If you’re in the area and craving great food in a relaxed setting, La Cañada Grill is definitely worth a visit.

Great spot for a breakfast burrito, taco or agreeing else really. The carnitas taco was exactly as it should be, nothing fancy but for like $3 it was totally legit. Great spot, classic Mexican restaurant vibes.
The asada wasn't my favorite - I'd get the carnitas again and maybe try the chicken instead of the asada

The place is good but since one of the cooks left the place is not what it was
Atmosphere is casual and bright, with kind and attentive staff. Although the fountain diet I received tasted a little sour, I thought the tacos I ordered were delicious! Very reasonably priced too, especially with the fresh, complimentary tortilla chips and salsa. The hard shell was unlike any I had eaten before, and also tasted fresh. The shredded beef wasn’t too salty or greasy, and the lettuce soaked up the rest. The grilled shrimp taco was similar to what you’d get at other, non-fast food restaurants, which was good enough for me. Comes with shredded cabbage and chipotle sauce. I don’t eat cilantro, so I didn’t eat pico or much of the complimentary salsa and guacamole. Again, not too heavy or salty. Definitely a place worth returning too when I’m craving tacos!
