The Vig

One word.Pozole! It didn't matter that it was 108 degrees outside, I decided to try the pozole based on a recommendation from a friend and the waiter.This stuff is so good it haunts my dreams now. The menu is eclectic and there's no reason why this soup should be as good as it is without it being a specialty restaurant. The other plates at our table all looked good too, but I definitely won the lotto with my choice.

Had a fun and delicious early dinner yesterday here with friends I had not seen in over 25 years! We walked in to a dark and inviting place with indoor and outdoor seating. It was 110 degrees out so it was a cool respite! We started with chips, guac, and a tasty salsa. My friend and I had roasted pork soft tacos from the happy hour menu. The pork was tender and flavorful. They came with a bit of pickled onion, queso fresco, shredded lettuce, a tiny bit of tomato and were garnished with micro size cilantro. Delish! My other friend had the steak frites. He asked for medium well and it was cooked perfectly. The steak must have been very good my friend ate every bit. The "frites" were good but not as crispy as he had hoped but it did not deter him from enjoying every one. All three of us had giant hot fudge sundaes meant to share but not us! wow at least a pint of vanilla gelato perfect amount of fudge and garnished with peanuts. We were there at Happy Hour and there are quite a few fun drinks specialties. It is a casual place and I recommend!

This place is located on the East side of Central Ave, across from Sunnyslope HS south of Dunlap.The service here was excellent. I was there to get together with a bunch of old friends and some families. We were in the outdoor area straight in from the entrance. We tried out a lot of different things and several drinks. The quality of the food was fine but we were there more to hang out. There was no pressure to order or rush.The amazing thing was there were 20-30 people but somehow they kept tabs for everyone. I have no idea how they did that but they never asked about a combined bill or separate. Overall nice venue to hang out and great time.Sorry I did not take photos of the food but I was distracted.

Fine food & service. Nothing special to say about it, though. Sorry about that, Yelp!

I was a frequent flyer at Ladera. Loved the indoor/outdoor atmosphere and creative offerings. Surprisingly, I've never been to a Vig before. I came for dinner. Ordered 4 chicken tacos. To be honest, nothing extraordinary. The tacos were definitely on the more conservative side (could have eaten 4 more). My group of 5 thought their food was OK as well. Pricing is a little on the expensive side. Beer menu was nice, ordered a wheat. If I'd come back I'd likely order something else.

A yummy spot! We loved the pretzel and chips and guac. I got the salad and really liked it but wish the squash was a little more cooked. Others loved the various meat sandwiches. The servers were nice too!

Really nice atmosphere at this restaurant. Outdoor area is adorable and also dog friendly. The menu includes an unusual array of items that are presented in a unique way and they have a happy hour that includes some very cute cocktails. Our only issue was with the service, which was disappointing. We were a party of four, and got only drinks and entrees. My spouse asked three times for extra condiments before they were provided. My niece had a beautiful salad plus a side of sweet potato fries that never showed up even though we asked about them multiple times. We finally had them taken off the bill. We tipped well despite the problems but $175 was steep for four of us with the issues added in. Regardless, I think I would try them for brunch. The atmosphere is just too cute to write them off.

A local friend took me to Vig for dinner. She lived in the area and had never tried to spot. Upon arriving, it was very welcoming and well designed. There is indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit inside. We did not have a reservation and they were able to seat up immediately. We chose to sit at the bar. The bartenders were so friendly and attentive to our needs. We ended up ordering the Coug Cup and Bennet and Bubbles. Both were nice drinks and not very sweet. We started with the Poke appetizer and Pomegrante Salad with Prawns. The salad and portion size was perfect. Everything was fresh and delivered quickly. This place was cute and I loved the ambiance and lighting.

Big lover of the vig. I've never had a bad experience. All their drinks are so good, and I love how they have seasonal mules. The drinks are also pretty strong, so good bang for your buck. Their gluten free buns are pretty good, I've had it on their chicken! The sweet potato fries are divine. They made their chicken wings gluten free for me and I loved those. Great queso. My friends LOVED their crispy calamari. Always great service, very attentive servers.

This is one of my favorites! The patio is full of trees and there is an outdoor fireplace that makes this place so inviting. Such a relaxing friendly environment! They had a live singer.. he was fantastic!!! I had the turkey pastrami & shishito peppers and both were delicious!
