The most bland Mexican food I've ever had. Chile relleno, large and full of bland cheese. I should have looked around first to see the other customers drinking, not many with meals.

Ordered a tortilla soup, and I got a tomato soup. My Dad ordered a mojito alcohol drink. Was water down and we mentioned it to server and he seemed to get upset. Not a good experience at all.

Ok. Don’t let those good drinks you got at the bar one time fool you. I should have “listened” to all those other reviews. The food is not good. There was little to no seasoning. The food came out tepid at best and then left a greasy taste in your mouth.
The flautas were weirdly covered by excess shredded lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream (to cover up the ridiculously thick tortillas covering the tasteless meats inside, no doubt). The carnitas were lacking in flavor. The drinks bought to the table lacked the flare (and the flavor) of those we had at the bar.
The space itself, is weirdly expansive. The mirrored ceiling makes the empty coldness even worse. Top tip, don’t go and wait for a table - any table - anywhere else at the Americana.

Had reservations for 6:00, for 3 adults and two children. Waited about 15 minutes to be greeted, and I finally asked a gentleman could he grab our server and he proceeded to tell me it was him and he was busy but he’ll be over shortly. Received our nachos appetizer at 6:44 which came out ice cold. Notified our server and right at 7:00 our appetizer reappeared on a tray with all of our entrees.
I proceeded to send the nachos back, because appetizers normally arrive before the entree but moving along…. My nephews chicken tenders were piping hot, my sons cheese quesadilla luke warm and every adult entree, again, ICE COLD. My husbands potato taquitos arrived about 4 minutes later and they surprisingly were hot. Again, I notified the server our food was cold and asked for a manager. About 8 or 9 minutes later Liz, the manager arrives seemingly not really very unapologetic and her idea of fixing our experience was to comp everything (that mind you came out cold) except the drinks (both alcoholic and non alcoholic) and the kids meal. We paid 52.92 before tip, for a horrific experience and I ended my night ordering to go from Cheesecake Factory because after almost 2 hours I still had not eaten.
I normally frequent Frida in Sherman oaks which unfortunately closed down but service is amazing, and also Frida Beverly Hills who has phenomenal service as well. You literally cannot pay me to visit this location ever again. Oh I failed to mention the surrounding tables who sat over 20 minutes after us had food before we did. And I mentioned it to Liz she blamed that on the kitchen being “backed up” this is just another example of restaurants charging an arm and a leg these days for subpar food and horrible customer service. The staff including management needs training.

WOW WOW WOW!!!! Delicious! Ask for Miguel Mendoza. What an incredible service! The food was amazing. We were in town for the Rose Bowl and decided to stop by! Absolutely worth it! I dont know how they are not 5 stars. Drinks were to die for. Food was fresh and delicious. I asked them to make me just steak and shrimp fajitas and they were mouth watering. What a way to celebrate my new years eve. If they were closer to home I would be a regular!

Any other restaurant in the valley would easily beat this. Overpriced bland Mexican food. Waiters kept pushing to up charge. They asked us 4 times if we wanted guacamole and we kept saying no. Overall mediocre at best.

I don’t normally put in reviews for places, but let me tell you, this one server was just not it. I don’t know if something happened earlier to make him so irritated and annoyed. But the way he just dropped my plate in front of me with no care at all, made me genuinely surprised. Even after that incident I still told him thank you for bringing me the plate, but that experienced just soured my mood. Horrible service from that food runner.
