Nachos were delicious and big enough to share. Nice place to hangout or go out on a date, our server was hospitable and made us feel welcomed. We will definitely be back again for more horchata martinis!

I haven't written a review in awhile, but Ortega always deserves a review. So here goes...EXCELLENT! Ortega 120 continues to be one of the premier Mexican restaurants in Los Angeles...they have changed their menu over the years but the food selection and flavors remain top notch. The server Gabriel is always excellent and friendly and if you go there more than once he will remember you. All the servers are on point but we like Gabriel especially. It is dark inside with a day-of-the-dead motif, which we like and seems to add to the experience. I miss the old movies they used to project on the wall, but it's really all about the food. I forgot to mention...best margaritas ever. Maybe somewhere in the world there is one similar but if there is I am I am unaware. They have a special way of preparing it at Ortega. Ask them about it sometime.

Chef Cris Brown, thank you for coming out to meet up, kudos to this restaurant for giving you a chance to show your art with food We will be back again and again

A pitcher of spicy Margs and the Mixto Ceviche is all you're gonna need. Tacos Tuesday the damn thang

Really great food, service, and ambiance! Walking in we immediately loved the setup, great lighting and decor that feels homey. I was craving some mole enchiladas and they did not disappoint! Large portions and super delicious. My husband got the birria tacos and said they weren't anything to rave about but still good. We ordered a kids plate for our 10 month old and they made sure it wasnt too hot and there was plenty of food to take home as well. The servers were all super sweet and friendly. Thank you for the wonderful meal

I LOVE this restaurant. The attentive servers, the vibe, the cocktails and especially the food are all 10/10. They have the best Al Pastor tacos! The pomegranate ginger cocktail is also amazing. There is a happy hour at 3:00 pm which includes $4.50 tacos and discounted margarita pitchers and drinks. Parking here is great too. There is a free parking lot behind the restaurant. I will definitely be back here soon!

Its been years (c. 2019) since I have been to Ortega 120. See previous review. The venue has...changed. Before, you were greeted with beautiful Mexican artwork on the walls. While they are still there, they are no longer at the forefront. Instead, the alters are hidden near the bathroom and the artworks appear to be shuffled in such a way that you have to look around to find it. I scrolled through the reviews and noticed that they may have changed owners. I also noticed that business was a lot slower than it used to be. This place used to be vibrant with a 20 minute waitlist, even on a Sunday afternoon. We sat down and ordered the following: Horchata: Still amazing as always Skinny margarita: this one had less sugar than other typical margaritas. It had a wonderful balance of sweetness and alcohol Enchiladas with mole and - chicken (tinga) this one was very flavorful, it wasn't too spicy - Carne azada steak: my dad didnt enjoy it, he felt there wasnt enough meat and didn't feel fresh. Note, he still finished it Salmon plate : my mom tried this and she loved the dressing but felt the fish wasnt the best. Churros: this was 8/10. The churros were perfectly cooked, and the vanilla ice cream that went with it was amazing. The only downside was the chocolate syrup. We felt that this should have been drizzled on and not a pool at the bottom. We also felt that there should have been an edible mint as a garnish. I also noticed that they no longer make tortillas. And what was once the star side dish - Mexican rice. It was drier than normal. The service was stellar, they told the chef about my shellfish allergy and the staff was very nice and attentive. Overall, we still want to come back for lunch. The price tag is a little too high for what they are offering. However the dessert is perfect for sharing, and the drinks are spot on. I hope that the owners take into account all these reviews and suggestions, because this restaurant was/is amazing and i hope it bounces back up again.
