Lula Cocina Mexicana - Santa Monica

Have always loved this place since they opened in the early 90's!

Excellent happy hour, bartender was cool. Will definitely be back.

Great location and great service. came here for dinner at 6 on a Saturday and there were many tables available, no reservations required. Your menu offers a variety of margaritas, including a thin margarita. They serve large Mexican foods, but they also offer meat alternatives for vegetarians or people who avoid meat. I'd come back!

Have been coming here since 1992 (remember The Pelican Cafe which was in this location before). The food is really unique, while it is Mexican it has slight local twist that is really magical. I've only been disappointed once (and that is over easily 50 to 100 times being here). The food is really terrific. The drinks are wonderful (if you decide to imbibe). And there is what I call a tequila museum which is a fun little part of the restaurant to stop at and spend a little time learning about all the different tequilas at.

Great place to stop for a glass of wine or two and a sope. Use the Happy Hour Specials!
