About Us
La Cabana is proud to say it has been offering a Genuine Taste of Mexico in Venice, CA since 1963. La Cabaña has only one location and is independently owned, and not affiliated with any other restaurant. The restaurant's founders, Nina L Haro and her husband Carlos Rafael Haro Lasso started La Cabaña when they decided to open a Mexican restaurant in Venice. Soon after opening, the restaurant began making hand-made tortillas on the premises. In fact, we were the first Mexican restaurant on the westside to offer hand-made tortillas with its dishes. We were also one of the first to offer genuine Mexican "Platillos" and continue with this tradition. Our Carnitas, for example, are prepared in the style found in Michoacan, Mexico, while other dishes like our Plato de Barbacoa hail from recipes found in Texcoco, Mexico.
Most of our employees have been with us for almost 20 years. Some 30, 40 and even 50 years! They are considered as family and are an integral part of our success. Their loyalty and dedication are second to none and their professionalism is a major reason why we continue to be successful today. Now after many years, what was once a small, thatched roof hut, La Cabaña has flourished into a Venice landmark restaurant that is proud of its heritage. We welcome you and your family, and we look forward to serving you.
