My favorite restaurant that I drive over 5 hours to enjoy. The homemade corn tortillas, chile rellenos & last month they introduced me to chicken mole tacos. Very clean, delicious and friendly team. Thank you!

This is one of my FAVORITE restaurants, so how disappointed was I when we drove over 1 hour to get here, arrived 8pm and told they were closed. Website says 9pm. Please update your info so people are heart broken!

What a great find. We were looking for a dog friendly patio for dinner on our way back to LA. I called to see how long the wait was, and a table had just opened up. Score! The margaritas are strong and tasty, not overly sweet. The black bean salsa that came with the chips was flavorful but not spicy, even my child enjoyed it. The fajitas were delicious. And large enough for me to share with my child. The burrito was huge and quite good also. They even accommodated a couple of special requests all with a smile. It's a lovely little patio, relaxing and quiet. So happy that we found this little gem.

Cava is a spectacular restaurant. We had our wedding reception there years ago and have been back a few times since. The service is always excellent. The food always tastes fresh and well-prepared. The cocktail menu is creative and complimentary of the food. I can't recommend Cava enough.

We were lucky to have walked in and immediately seated at a wonderful booth. Margaritas, food, were amazing and for a reasonable price. However, Esteban our waiter was less than interested in wanting to serve us. Food would be a four-star but overhaul service was a two star.

Cava’s Tortilla Soup, Enchiladas Mariscos, and Asado Burrito made lockdown tolerable. Thank you, Cava’s staff!

It's been a minute since I've dined at Cava. I've not been since pre-Covid, and, oh boy, have I missed it. Now let's get down to the nitty gritty, the food. I ordered the Pasilla Chile Relleno En Caldo. I've never had it prepared this way before and I was a bit skeptical if I would enjoy it. Well, I was not disappointed. The soup of the Chile Arellano was tasty, and the meal itself rendered all the wonderful herbs and spices. And, they never disappoint with the drinks, always tasty! Since we're still in Covid precautions, seating was very limited indoors, with more accommodations seating accommodations outdoors. The staff were very in tune with precautionary standards and the needs of the guest.
