We were here for a private event. The service was stellar, friendly and helpful staff. Drinks were on the mark and tacos were very good.

Alie and Lanea was probably the best part of our trip to Santa Monica. My fiancee and I just wanted tacos late at night and we found this little gem that has a couple hundred tequilas. We asked Alie to take us on a tequila/mezcal journey. It was perfect. We loved some, hated others but the journey was amazing. Highly recommend the asada tacos and the premium tequila flight (most aged). For a couple hundred dollars we had a tequila omakase that we will never forget. Just go and trust that Alie will make sure to find the right tequila for you.

This place you wanna go to catch a buzz before you go out it’s not really some place to hang out but they do have pool tables and there’s a lot of food shops all the way around all in all it’s very convenient and good place to hang

Delicious food! Cocktails and tequila were delicious. The bartender was able to give us a good tequila recommendation and I ordered the watermelon cocktail in addition. Ordered the carne asada taco, which was good and came with multiple salsas. Well priced for the quality. The tequila was delicious and sippable.

Best cocktails you can get in a can. The actual cocktails they make and serve there could use some work but not terrible. Service was good and the people were nice.

Drinks are strong, tacos are delicious. The corn tortillas are exactly how every taco should be.

Ginger Margherita is The Jam. I love the candied ginger they top it with the music felt fun. The tacos were delicious. The lighting vibe was really spot on.

After watching the sunset from Venice beach, my friends and I were looking for a place that was open late for dinner. We randomly stumbled upon Lanea on our way to the third street promenade. Not only were the food and drinks delicious (I recommend the picante coast highway margarita and the WATERMELON. SUGAR. HIGH. for drinks--the margarita flight was also very fun--and quesadilla for food), the bartenders were some of the nicest people I've met. The bar was packed and only two bartenders were there to take orders and make drinks. Both Alie and Chad were amazing. They took my order and quickly made the drinks (which were delicious) and then brought our food to a table outside, even though the bar area was packed. They were quick to take our order, quick to serve us, and quick to smile during the whole process. The two handled the stress phenomenally, and I could go on for pages about how great they are. As I said, Alie and Chad are the best bartenders I've ever met; they're great at making drinks and even greater at making me want to come back. The flight of margaritas made it a fun night, but the bartenders made it amazing!
