Fantastic! Loved the street tacos. Service was excellent, and considering it is on the 3rd Street promenade, prices are EXCELLENT!
I had the fish, and wife had carnitas. Both were GREAT!
Friendly, attentive wait staff. Highly recommend!

I came here with my wife for the first time and found my new favorite Mexican Restaurant. The food was delicious! I started off with the Garlic Shrimp appetizer which itself was amazing! Then I moved onto the Garlic Fish which also was delicious! My wife had the Vegetarian Tostada which she really enjoyed! For dessert we shared the Flan and the Churros! The flan was the best flan I have probably ever had and the Churros was amazing! We had the pleasure and honor of having the owner Fernando wait on us. He is a really great person and made our night very special. You can tell Fernando takes pride in his restaurant and the food he serves. If you have not had the pleasure of eating here do yourself a favor and eat here. With such an extensive menu there is something for everyone. You won’t be disappointed.

We'd heard a lot about the quality of Mexican food in LA, and found Casa Martin purely out of chance one lunchtime. On a weekday it was quite quiet, with only 3 other parties dining in the restaurant. It is very nicely decorated, however I must add that the chairs we sat on were fairly dirty, and we were provided with an additional set of cutlery, which is unprofessional. Everyone at lunch service was being served by the manager/owner, and he was very hospitable and took genuine interest in catering for our tastes in every manner. He offered samples of certain sauces/dishes which we were uncertain about, and gave us the time we needed to consider our choices. This was certainly necessary given the wide ranging menu. I would add that the menu felt difficult to read through and lacked clarity in its formatting. I opted for the chicken fajitas. The food came quickly, and I was immediately struck by the generous portion size. It all tasted great, particularly the guacamole. On the flip side I would criticise the presentation of the refried beans, as it did not look particularly appetising when simply poured over half of the plate. A bowl would suffice. But after what was a very enjoyable meal, we asked for the bill, and were surprised to see that an 18% auto-gratuity fee had already been charged. This would be tolerable if we were not then prompted for an additional tip immediately after. I believe this is misleading, and some less attentive customers may easily mistake the additional tip for the normal service charge which is expected in most US restaurants. I still think this is a solid 4 star restaurant, however, with great food and a passionate host. With its convenient location in Santa Monica, it's definitely worth a visit.

One of the best Mexican restaurants that I have been to. The ambiance was so cozy and beachy. The verde enchiladas were delicious and the fish taco was loaded and so so yummm. Everything was so delicious and fresh - made with love
