New to the venice neighborhood so I wanted to try a local spot, my neighbor recommended Chulita so we walked over last night and boy did they deliver a great experience! We started with drinks at the bar then moved to a great patio table. The music and ambiance were a great vibe. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and gave us great recommendations for tacos, starters and drinks. We got equites and guacamole , the combo together was chefs kiss. The tacos were outstanding . The Barbacoa was seasoned perfectly and the mushroom taco was so savory, (try their house made cassava flour)Our waitress recommended the bad hombre - it was vibrant, refreshing, spicy, and Smokey . The owner came by to check in to see how everything was, made us feel like family. A true neighborhood gem that handles a rush with grace and still delivers top notch service! Can’t wait to go back !

The restaurant and the plates look nice, but our food had no taste.
It's great for IG photos of the plates. The service was okay.

A mini escape to Tulum is best to describe the decor of this little cute restaurant in Venice. I been here many times. I took my mother here for brunch, they had wide variety of selection on the menu that caters to meat lovers and vegans. Food was great! My mom is a vegetarian and the food satisfied her Mexican cravings. John was our waiter and he took great care of us and I made sure to left him 25% tip for his hard work.

The food was okay but our waitress the older white lady with hot pink lipstick wearing all white was extremely rude and unfriendly. I will never be at this establishment because of her service. She gave attitude and a scowl, not the type of place I’d want to eat or spend my time. The restaurant was cozy though.

Stopped by Chulita in Venice to enjoy a cocktail and bites at the bar with a friend. What a sweet spot! It has a great vibe, feels open and airy. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and they have a nice balance of vegan and non-vegan items. The service at the bar was friendly and attentive. Love the range of mezcal flights, a perfect way to explore for connoisseurs and newbies alike.

We had an amazing time at Chulita and were lucky to have the best Mexican server ever. I can’t remember his name, but he was incredibly kind and attentive, checking in on us even though he had multiple tables. We were celebrating our anniversary and it was our last night in LA on vacation, so he surprised us with churros on the house.
The food was absolutely amazing and I loved that there were so many good vegan options.

We had great service and great seats. The restaurant is semi open air for the inside spots with outside seating that has shade as well.
Chulitas makes their own GF Cassava Flour tortillas that were soft, pliable and have the same chew and char as a fresh flour tortilla. They have organic blue corn tortillas as well as tostadas that are baked for “chips” with their house salsa.
They made me a virgin spicy margarita that was the right amount of tangy heat.
I ordered a Barbacoa taco on the cassava flour tortilla and a Fish taco on a cassava tortilla. They were nice sized and had tons of protein in each one. The barbacoa was unctuous and spicy with a nice crunch from the fresh veg and radish. The fish was firm, flaky, and perfectly cooled with a citrus slaw. I ordered a side of Spanish rice. It was creamy it all the right ways and subtly spiced.
The table ordered the two dessert options to share, GF Pumpkin Spiced Churros with a vegan caramel and a vegan chocolate mousse with almond crumble. Both had good texture. The mousse also had a raspberry coulis that was tart and balanced rhe creamy chocolate. The Churros were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The caramel was a little watery so we dipped out churros in the chocolate mousse.
Overall, EXCELLENT food and service
