This is one of our favorite restaurants in LA! BUT… my wife gets sick when we eat there. As a person with celiac, she usually doesn’t have a problem with Mexican food. But for some reason, they make their corn tortillas on the same machine as their flour tortillas. And for someone who needs to eat gluten free, this is not good enough. I hope they update their methods, everyone deserves to experience the charm of this place.Dietary restrictions: Their kitchen takes little account of celiacs and people with gluten allergies.

Food was excellent, everything was prepared very well. I had the skirt steak and it didn't disappoint. The portions were small for both appetizers and entrees. Unfortunately the entrees were too small to be called "mains", as you would need two orders of entrees to be a satisfying meal. Our server was friendly, he tried hard and was courteous, but he just wasn't attentive and kept forgetting our simple requests. I would recommend but order more than you would normally would and don't expect too much on the service level.

The food here is unmatched. The best tacos and salsa around by far. The service? Not super amazing, but it made for a more intentional dining experience, and I don't mind that. Truly though, the steak tacos set a new bar for me. Amazing work in the kitchen. Great cocktails too!

Really good flavorful and chic Mexican joint with a hint of Spanish delicacies as well. Loved the pork and red snapper tacos. The red snapper one was a hidden gem. Seasoning game was spot on and the spices were well balanced. The drinks deserve special mention as well. The Figuero Verde had a hint of jalapeno heat and tasted really well.

Everything about this place is top notch.Yes, the portions are not big, but what they lack in size. They absolutely make up for and taste and quality of ingredients.They only offer one dessert: flan.And that is all they need to offer. The flan was delicious and also of a good size to share.I've been here for meetings with co-workers, a drink at the bar during happy hour, and dinner with friends.This place is great for all occasions. And there's even parking in the back!

Love this hidden gem. It's such a neighborhood staple. Their drinks and food are great. Love that their dishes are small but shareable which makes it easy to get a few things so you can really taste their menu. The ambiance is so cool since it's inside of a 1920s Spanish style house which makes it very cozy and it's a whole vibe. Their service is great, but it can improve a bit but over all a great place, especially for taco Tuesday.

Can’t believe this hidden gem has existed in our neighborhood for 10 years. Love that there’s a parking lot. Service and food were both

I used to come to Cascabel frequently a few years ago and stopped. I came backast night and remembered why. The atmosphere here is great. It's like a cute little Spanish style house and the drinks are always good. The food has always left something to be desired for me. Most recently I got shrimp tacos and it was two tiny shrimp on each taco. The flavor just wasn't there for me either. All of the portions are miniature.

Great experimental food and nice margaritas. Can be quite loud at night, but has great atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. Great for a work drinks or meet up, just make a reservation if you can to ensure space for large groups.

Architecturally pleasing Spanish interior. Small and very creative menu. Tasty desserts. Great place for a date, you will be pleased. The restaurant and parking is behind a business frontage. Look for the signage.
