Casa Vega has been a Sherman Oaks staple since 1956, known for its iconic red booths, dim lighting, strong margaritas, and lively atmosphere. A true Los Angeles landmark, Casa Vega blends nostalgia with classic Mexican American comfort food, making it a popular spot for family dinners, girls' nights, and late-night drinks. It is not gourmet or minimalist. It is bold, warm, a little chaotic in the best way, and full of history.

If you’re searching for the best restaurant in Sherman Oaks, we recommend Shiraz. This place serves Persian cuisine in a sophisticated and welcoming atmosphere on Ventura Blvd. Diners praise the tasty kabobs, generous portions, and relaxed vibe. Having been a favorite in the neighborhood for over 30 years, it’s great for those seeking an experience a little removed from Hollywood while still providing excellent flavor and quality. It’s ideal for groups, romantic evenings, or gatherings with your own wine since they allow outside bottles.
