highly addictive..great food, drinks and staff – Ok, so this is my addiction..truly unlike any other!! I started coming here about 4 years ago..and cannot seem to stop! The atmosphere is hip, fun, lively..yet very low key. I think the margaritas are the gorgeous....and each week they have special creations ..gingerita, sangri..etc. And I have just discovered that they are doing monthly tequila tastings..for only about $30 ...with much liquor and tapas style snacks..Patron this month. The food is tasty...and very diverse..wit... read more

Good service...ridiculous prices – I just got back from an evening at Lula's. My boyfriend and I were greeted and seated promptly. the service at this restaurant was excellent; our server was very attentive. The food was so-so. the queso fundido we ordered for a starter was greasy! I really enjoyed the shrimp and goat cheese quesadilla! However, the only problem I had was when it came to the check! 2 entrees, a starter and 2 margaritas later and it was $55! the margaritas were $8.25. There was no drink menu provided to us, a... read more

Really nice folk go here to have really great food. – Everything I've eaten at Lula's I'm now addicted to; the churro's and 3-flan desserts are unbelievable. Beside the faultless menu, what makes this my favourite of restaurants is that the staff welcome me as if they haven't seen me for years, even if it's only been a week, and the atmosphere is so comfortable that you find yourself chatting with all the other customers who've popped in... that could certainly be because of the Lula signature margaritas, but I think it's ju... read more

Best Mexican Food in Los Angeles. Bravo! – I brought a group of 10 people last night to Lula for a business meeting in your beautiful patio. The entire group was so impressed by Lula. The food was absolutely the best Mexican food I have had in Los Angeles. When I arrived I was starved and I started drinking your fabulous Lula margaritas a little too quickly. When the food arrived I could not believe how delicious everything was; from the Lobster Taquitos to the Shrimp and Goat Cheese Quesadilla.. I also wanted to mention how... read more

High Energy – Not only is the food fresh and delicious, but you walk into Lula's and immediately there is an energy that is felt. From the color's and decor of the restaurant, to the food, to the staff. This is a haven for Santa Monica and Venice regulars. Unbelievable happy hour from 1-7 everyday.

Have a Lula Margarita and sit in the Patio – Great service but there is usually a wait on Fridays and Saturdays. I like all of the Tamales, the Tuna Tostada (fresh Tuna) and the Mole Negro. They have just added a bunch of wines so I'll have to try one the next time I'm in if I can resist the absolutely HUGE tequila list.

If you want Mexican food on Main Street, this is pretty much it – Main Street is lacking for Mexican food and I think Lula's high ratings are for that reason. It is an average Mexican food joint - chips & salsa are fine, the margaritas are average and the decor is standard Southwestern with some pretty cool paintings. The lobster dishes are however very nice, the restaurant is clean and bright & the service is usually friendly. There is an outdoor area and the restaurant itself has huge windows that open onto Main Street's c... read more

Great Mexican Food! – Great food! The tamales as well as any other veggie dish are good! Don't forget to have a glass of sangria or a margarita while people watching! It's located on Main Street so it's fun to walk off dinner afterwards!

Pleasantly surprised by its authenticity – So many area Mexican food restaurants serve up greasy, Americanized Mexican food, so I was pleasantly surprised by Lula, especially given its location on Main Street in Santa Monica, near the beach. Beautiful flaky tamales with smoky mole sauce as well as huitlacoche quesadillas are some of the delicious surprises that we tried on a recent trip. Margaritas on the rocks are refreshing and the open airy atmosphere is inviting whether you sit on the patio in back, or in the screened di... read more
