This is my third time here and I still have the same issues...poor service. Yes, the patio is fantastic. But the house Cabernet is one step before vinegar. We ordered happy hour Puerco tacos. I wish the waitress would have explained it wasn't really tacos. It is a skillet of mediocre pork and potatoes with an unnecessary egg on top served with chips. We waited and waited for our wine. There are so many good things about Ladera. It isn't the parking, it's the patio. Live music on Thursday was a treat. Thumbs up for Miguel. I think it can be so much better.
