Chales Kitchen & Cantina — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I'm updating my review. I came in for the first time in a while and I used to frequent this restaurant. They've changed their menus and drastically increased all of the prices of everything. The nickel and dime everything and overcharge. I paid over $25 for some nachos and a horchata... I asked for extra sour cream and they brought it out and realized I was also charged for that as well 🫤The food wasn't even that good to warrant the extreme price increase. It's a shame because this used to be a really good restaurant but I will not be returning anymore.

Edit: The owners response clearly indicates that they can't accept any type of criticism. Don't be upset at me for talking about it on Google when you nickel and dime every little thing. I said what I said, and if you don't like my review I don't know what to...

Absolutely fantastic service!! And food!! Off the charts! Definitely a hidden gem of LA.

I think they remodeled the place. They have a very wide selection of food and drinks. They have outdoor seating as well. The ambiance is very classy yet authentic.

We got the burrito panzon asada wet and pastor quesadilla. They were so flavorful and muy rico! The cheese was gooey and melted. The meat was really tender and well seasoned. The salsa wasn't too spicy. Their food is very traditional with hints of modern twists. It definitely hits home.

The owner was a chef at the restaurant Houston's Steakhouse in Pasadena! It's a high end steak house that serves fresh steaks. No wonder the food at Margaritas was so good.

Highly recommend this...

Walked past this restaurant on my way to Ross lol my partner and I shared the chicken pozole, asada tacos, and chips with red salsa. The pozole came in a huge bowl that can feed 3 folks. The asada tacos had a good ratio of meat and toppings (fresh cilantro and onions). Would come again for the pozole especially on a rainy or cold day like today. Felt super medicinal.

As for drinks - we didn’t order any but they have a nice bar selection and are known for their classic margaritas. Will be back for one!

And the service was phenomenal. Very kind and patient lady who served us. They speak. Org English and Spanish here.

Come by and visit to monch on delish local...
