Tallula’s is a vibrant, SoCal-inspired Mexican restaurant and bar that’s like a hidden “coastal pearl” in Santa Monica Canyon. We’re tucked away between the beach and mountains in a funky, historic pagoda-style building with a huge patio, where margaritas are always flowing in Felix’s Bar, the aroma of handmade corn tortillas is emanating from the kitchen, and everyone’s digging into spicy ceviche and heaps of cheesy nachos.
