Desvelados Santa Monica

We traveled to Mexico less than a year ago and were really hoping to rediscover the same authentic flavors we experienced there. We’re happy to say we were not disappointed at all! The food was simply delicious, full of rich and genuine flavors. The portions were very generous, and the staff was absolutely lovely and welcoming. We had such a wonderful time, truly a fantastic experience from start to finish!

Incredible meal tonight at Desvelados. Food was 10/10 and the best Birria taco I’ve ever had hands down. Meat was tender, well seasoned, tortilla shells were so soft and delicious. The ambience is very trendy and beautiful. My only critique was that they had just one server working the bar and tables. He was very attentive and timely, there was nothing slow about service. As a former server I know how hard that is - had another few tables walked in, it would’ve been too much to manage well.

Authentic and delicious Mexican food in a beautiful setting. Desvelados is easy to overlook, located in a quiet part of 4th Street in Santa Monica. But it's in my mind the most authentic Mexican food in the area. Together with Pappy's, a casual birria taco outlet. Desvelados have beautiful drinks a very nice dining room, great service and delicious authentic food, torta, tacos, quesadillas, burritos. My favorite so far is the brick burrito with lengua.

Wanted to enjoy some authentic Mexican cuisine. Wife got guacamole and chips and shrimp tacos. I got chicken tacos. Everything was delicious. Food was nice and fresh. In town for Eagles game and would definitely recommend. Senorita Theresa was awesome!

This place has upscale food, drinks, ambiance, and service without an upscale price! I just can't say enough good things about Desvelados. We had freshly made Guacamole and chips to start the meal. The chips arrived hot. There were 2 sauces on the side. 1 red and 1 green sauce. The red sauce was much spicier. My friend had Hibiscus aqua and I had Cucumber & Lime aqua. These waters were thick with color and flavor. Yummy! My friend had the Chilaquiles. They were floored with the flavor and authentic taste of the dish. I had the Norteno Burrito with Carnitas. This was the best meal I had on my California trip. Our server was quite knowledgeable. He said none of the dishes are spicy. They are family dishes from Sinaloa. Exquisite!
