Reviews

I went hiking with some friends and family at Will Rodgers Park.
We were all unfamiliar with the area.
We tried our luck in Pacific Palisades and after a careful review of our options chose Prima Cantina.
They had no problem seating 6 adults and a 5 year old.
I ordered 3 shrimp tacos.
No cap, probably the best cooked shrimp I've ever eaten, And they didn't skimp.


I really wanted to enjoy some margaritas and tacos but never got the chance.
Two extremely rude staff totally turned me off.
One slammed the door in my face almost catching my arm in the door jam.
The other completely ignored my attempts to get her attention.
How dare I interrupt their day with a question.
Ended up at Porta Via, which has a great happy hour.


Chips n salsa, crispy chips and a pretty good red salsa.
Double Cadillac margarita by Nadir.
George Clooney sponsors the restaurant.
Ordered the carnitas plate w/ a grilled jalapeño on the side.
Looks yummy.
Ok, carnitas plate: a bit salty, but still not bad.
Now I'm feeling thirsty from the salt, so I'll have another Cadillac margarita, double.
($24) They have a habanero salsa, pretty spicy.
They closed early, not much traffic.
Dinner, drinks, conversation for $100 tip included.
Overall, I've had better food for less, but this is the Pacific Palisades.
