- SSezaLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoGreat service! Our server was really attentive and very nice. The food is amazing along with the ambiance. Celebrated my birthday . Everything on the menu is good but I love their slaw it’s the best ! The fireplace in the middle makes it feel like home and cozy. The whole staff is very professional. It was not my first time there and definitely not my last.More infoThe HideawayPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Beverly Hills•4.5

- CChristineLos Angeles •4 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 12, 2024When we arrived this nice young lady assisted us to our table and even asked if we had preference for different tables. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. Understood exactly what we wanted and check on us in a very discreet way (I appreciate this because sometimes it can be too much). Food was great, recommend the Queso fundido and the Tetelas. The guava and passion fruit margaritas low on sugar are amazing, and the little popsicle that comes with it makes it so flavorful and fun. Will continue going to this placeMore infoMas MananitasPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Woodland Hills•4.1
