Gem in Hollywood. Great old school Mexican food. Great place for a date. Fair price. Fun server.

The veg Korean bowl was super tasty, it’s a cute vibe inside, they showed the show we wanted to watch and kept my card safe when I left it there. Great neighborhood spot esp for happy hour

I've lived in LA for 20 years and have been coming to Franklin Village ever since. The area is great. I consider myself a pretty discerning "Mexican food critic," and I must admit, there aren't many restaurants I would visit more than once in Hollywood, West Hollywood, or Beverly Hills. I had always hoped one day there would be a Mexican restaurant that was worthy of my patronage in FV. Happy to say La Villita is now one of my favorites to visit. It is cantina style Mexican food and it is fresh, and flavorful. IMO you can always tell how good a Mexican restaurant is by their chips, salsa, and guacamole-La Villita checks all the boxes with their yummy food. Their bartenders are friendly and professional. I especially think Cole is great. He always greets you with a warm smile and has a great attitude-even when he's busy, he always makes sure you are taken care of and feel welcome. Margaritas here are not watered or iced down and are so refreshing and delicious. They serve them with fresh juice. The restaurant is well lit and has a chill vibe. You can't keep me away from this place.
Food and drinks were amazing! The staff was so friendly and gave us chips and salsa on the house because the waiter was running a bit late, which was so kind and thoughtful of them. Best of all, our waiter José was so knowledgeable of gluten allergies and I felt very safe eating there with celiac. I’d love to go back here again and would recommend it to anyone!
Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options and vegan versions available!
Dietary restrictions: Knowledgeable about gluten restrictions! It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to have chips and salsa at a restaurant, since normally chips share a fryer with other non-celiac-safe items, but here they keep chips separate! It was so nice!
Very accommodating of Gluten Free needs and celiac requirements. Delicious, every flavor felt distinct, sharp, and distinct yet melodious together. Highly recommend the Jerk Filet Mignon bowl!

The filet mignon fajitas was bomb! Added shrimp for extra $5. Amazing food. So tasty and perfect portions. Drinks- Jalapeño Cucumber margarita was delicious. Service was excellent as well. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and got a table near TV to watch our LA Dodger game with our 6 yr old son who’s a huge fan!! The only hard thing was finding parking. But it is Hollywood so we expected that. Luckily we found one right in front of the restaurant. Overall, excellent experience and we will definitely return soon! Thank you La Villita Cantina cooks, waiters, host, and of course bar tender. You are all doing a great job running your restaurant.
