Casa Vega, in Sherman Oaks, opened its doors in 1956 and has been serving the people of Southern California ever since. Local residents, and even celebrities, have flocked to the family-run Mexican restaurant currently run by Christy Vega Fowler, daughter of original owner, Rafael Vega. While the decor is modern, the menu still reflects traditional Mexican menu staples. The extensive menu allows for every person to find something to enjoy. Homemade house guacamole, or one of the many soup or salad options, make for a great starter. The entree options are plentiful. Casa Vega serves everything from traditional chicken mole, a plethora of burrito options, combination plates and specialty options, such as carne chile Colorade and the signature Casa Vega molcajete. Vegan and vegetarian options are also available. Top off your meal at Casa Vega with a delicious house margarita or mojito.

    I reserved a table for New Year's Eve, expecting "champagne toast, mariachis" according to the website. I could not get an indoor table at 6:00 pm, so I agreed to an outdoor table, thinking the place would be packed and festive. The outdoor area was pretty, but empty. We were one of only two parties eating outside. Despite the heater, it was very cold, there was no music, no Mariachis, no champagne toast, no New Years Eve ambience whatsoever. Food was good, waitress was nice, but it was just like any night at Casa Vega. Very disappointed.

    The food, service and overall ambience is cool and good. The quality was good. The staff were kind. But unfortunately, the two tops are all awkwardly placed close and so the entire time it felt as though staff were simply rushing by us, busing dishes into the bins right next to us, bumping into us, etc. Made it a bit difficult to relax and enjoy when it felt hectic around us. If you’re a larger party who can get a booth along the wall or sit at the bar, you’ll probably have a great experience. For couples, just be aware the two tops aren’t great.

    This is our second time eating there, and while eating outside isn't as fun as eating inside, the food and service - including the necessary heat lamps - were lovely.

    A magical Christmas experience! Service was outstanding and the food was delicious. Every single thing we ate tasted fresh and homemade, which is unheard of these days. And everyone was so kind to us. As first time parents with our four month old in tow, it meant the world!
