Chulita is an Alta California-style modern Mexican restaurant and mezcal/tequila bar in the heart of Venice, bringing botanas y mezcales or Mexican drinking food to Rose Avenue.
“Had a lovely dinner at Chulita the other day! My friend visiting town is gluten free and dairy free, so finding restaurants for her was a difficult task indeed. She was craving Mexican and upon looking at the menu, there were plenty of options suitable for her. What was a wonderful suprise was that the entire restaurant was gluten free!! Even their flour tortillas which were made out of cassava flour if I remember correctly. We even got to have their vegan churros which are rare to find!!!!”
“I stumbled upon this place while we were in Venice California. It's a small boutique restaurant that has great service and strong drinks. The menu is pretty small but they have an array of great tacos. I got the cauliflower and mushroom tacos. The mushroom was definitely my favorite. My friend opted for the chicken and fish. If you are a vegan and or vegetarian this will definitely be a place to check out.”
“DANG!!! Just got back from Mexico and was craving a good taco and margarita. This place did not disappoint. Staff are incredibly friendly, menu is top notch. Something for everyone. I had the seasonal cocktail (apricot 😍) with mezcal. And the tacos are unbelievable. I couldn’t pass up the gluten free churros. Cannot wait to come back for brunch.”
“The food was fantastic and the restaurant was cute. The hostess who seated us stuck us in a back patio where there was no one but us. Couldn’t quite assess if this was a rascist move, because no one was seated there the entire time we were there. The server was great though.”
“Picked up my mom from LA airport and she was craving Mexican food. I found Chulita in Venice and were so happy we found this place. The service was very attentive, the ambiance was beautiful inside, very boho Mexican style. Everyone around us was ordering the guacamole so we knew that was a staple at this restaurant. I definitely suggest also getting the salsa it was delicious. We also got the ceviche, which was great flavor, and chicken and fish tacos! We tried both the cassava and corn tortillas, you can taste the freshness. I love my entree. The arrachera really hit the spot. The hanger steak and carrot mole was perfect! And of course we finished with the churros dessert. We left there feeling very satisfied! Definitely recommend.”
