Get a room at the hotel next door cause you're going to be drinking these margs by the pitcher (made with real fruit juice, no sour mix). Also, tequila flights. And homemade chips. So good.
Rayshawn WilliamsSeptember 22, 2016The chile rellenos is given with one stuffed with short rib and the other cheese and raisins. Both good and filling. The short rib was the best of the two.
- Pitcher of their House Margarita is really good and has a good amount of Tequila. It's a good value at $32 but if you want flavor added (Strawberry, Mango, Pomegranate, etc) a $10 surcharge is added.
MeliAugust 30, 2014This is the shit! Really great tacos and soup. Guac is amazing and the tortilla chips are huge! Ambiance makes you feel like you're actually in Mexico!
Delilah ShelbyAugust 25, 2020Amazingly delicious Mexican Food. Plenty of healthy options and mouthwatering margaritas. The staff is sooo friendly here and they really make you feel appreciated
Jonathan BeutlerJune 28, 2015One of the best Mexican places in the South Bay. Great decor and lovely vibe. Good for happy hours and parties. Loe their MOLE.- Rayshawn WilliamsSeptember 21, 2016The calamari a la Diabla sauce has a nice kick and is very flavorful. Definitely makes the dish.
Thomas RoosSeptember 4, 2013The Cobb salad was great the tacos tour ok - the beans were essentially salt-fee. The margaritas were good although they tasted as if not prepared with real fruit in case of the strawberry & mango.
Mike MolinoMay 25, 2015The tortilla soup is ridiculously good. And the homemade tortillas are the best.
Jeremy FernandesSeptember 10, 2013Very nice service, the interior decor is interesting and the tortillas are made by hand. Nice location and ample of parking space
A pitcher of Ortega's signature margarita is a must! If you want to keep it simple, the Tour de Tacos is really good. Salud!
Brent GatewoodApril 15, 2015Great food! Loved the homemade chips and salsa. The Mac and Queso was very good.
TV Food MapsJune 15, 2015Check out Ortega 120 as it was featured on Best Bars in America for Over 250 tequilas and one of the finest margaritas in LA Read more- BRIAN POPEJanuary 29, 2010Amazing menu! Not your typical Mexican fare. Margaritas are the best I've had in LA. Short rib chili rellenos and lamb shank were standouts. Decor and lighting are great too.
- Their MOLE is AMAZING!!! It's good on anything. And I normally don't like mole.
Ed VazquezJanuary 19, 2014It's good food and friendly service. Not to mention over 120 varieties of tequila.- House Margarita is the best (with fresh orange & lime juice)! Chile Relleno Duo is awesome...as is the killer burger! Decor is off the hook cool.
Jeffrey PayattJune 5, 2011Both the breakfast and the duck chilaquiles are fantastic. My tip is to share them... They are XL!
Yvette HernandezApril 6, 2011decent food.. The best??? Explore the city people. Decor great, rice yuck, torta thumbs down, beans ok, fries yum, queso fundido I've had better... Should have gone to jersey mikes
Fantastic margaritas, amazing guacamole, chips, and salsa. I've never had a bad meal here. Everything is great!
Erik BowmanSeptember 15, 2014Taco Tuesday! http://www.localistamagazine.com/editions/redondo_beach/2014/08/20/taco-tuesday-tour-first-stop-ortega-120/
Try the roasted Brussels sprouts in chile oil. No kidding. They're amazing.
Pitchers are $20 @ happy hour and the mixed greens with chicken salad is only $5!
House margarita is on point... And the Caipirinha de Fruta is great!
Laura SaulsApril 19, 2010Hands down the best restaurant in the South Bay--Monday night all night Happy Hour offers $2 tacos and $5 pint of margarita! Read more
Tequila! Helping Demi decide what tequila she wants from the distributor! Ah!
Mark GonzalezJanuary 19, 2012Service here really sucks but the food and the amazing Margaritas make up for it. We still come back despite the horrible service.
