Planning to visit one of the restaurants I've had bookmarked..we headed south. We passed Ladera on our way and took note. When we pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant we originally planned to go to, we noticed the attire of the patrons was a bit casual for what we had planned. So we went over to Ladera and was seated right away. The restaurant is gorgeous! And the ambience was sexy. Cocktails and food was delicious. Some of the best salsa I've ever tasted. Tacos are great and the roasted corn is to die for. Will definitely be returning!
