Mexican
Chef: Walter Manzke

Walter Manzke's Petty Cash is a semi-authentic taqueria with myriad talent drawn from East LA, Baja and beyond. Petty Cash's menu features re-conceptualized street food classics driven by the best local, seasonal ingredients, rooted in multi-generational tradition and technique.

Featuring urban elements such as hand-painted murals by local street artist RETNA and picnic style tables and bench seating which lend to a relaxed and playful communal dining experience. The street art meets street food vibe channels the spirit of Tijuana circa 1986 meets modern day LA. The equally spirited cocktail program features unique craft cocktails on draft and eclectic Mexican spirits.

    It's always so good! Last night it was a last minute decision. We sat outside with our dog. The food never disappoints, so much flavor, great margaritas and the staff is attentive and knowledgeable! Food comes out quickly. Valet in LA helps with the overall experience too!

    I love this place. They have the best margaritas in the LA! The finest tequilas and mezcales at an affordable price. Their drinks are so smooth in the palalet. The food is street style presented in the most creative and finest way. This is the classiest taqueria I have ever been to. Chefs, manager, hosts and servers are so kind and special at the time they addressed guests. This place deserves an A+!

    Great food, tasty drinks and a nice atmosphere. A great place to go on a warm summer evening. The ceviche was particularly good, as well as the Kale nachos. The margaritas were smooth and fresh tasting, all in all we had a great time and will look forward to going again.

    Petty Cash was wonderful! I had the Birria tacos and the Good Sh*t Margarita, and both were great. The staff is friendly, attentive, and seemed interested in making sure that we had a good experience. We sat outside, and the passing traffic can be occasionally noisy (obvs), but not so loud that you felt like you were sitting next to the freeway and didn’t disrupt conversation. I hope one day you’ll open a location on the east side! Will definitely be back!

    $8-9 for a tiny taco is a bit ridiculous. But the service was great. I'm not sure I'll be back for awhile as we can find tacos of the same value, way less expensive at other places but the open-faced quesadilla was incredible!

    I adore this place. Easily some of the best drinks in town (the pineapple habanero is a must!). This time I also tried a new one - the grapefruit and it was outstanding. We took a friend for her first time and she loved it -- a home run. This place is as loud as the food is good (I wish the music was a LITTLE lower). But it's a small price to pay for some of the best tasting tacos on the planet. And while the cauliflower nachos sound scary and weird, they're absolutely fantastic. This place never fails.

    First, the servers were on top of us, consistently, to try to get more orders after our drinks and appetizers. Told them we were not in a hurry, finally, when we did want to order, it took us at least 10 minutes to get somebody over to us and it wasn’t busy they were busy they were chatting away with each other. The food is not great and have their own few on Mexican food. The quesadilla had all kinds of sauces with the chicken.The enchilada was very average. If you want some thing unusual as Mexican food with their own little manipulation on it and maybe that’s the place for you . However, if you want true Mexican food, this is not the place to go. They serve tacos only in soft corn tortillas, you cannot get hard tacos or flour soft tacos. Nothing is served with rice or beans. I think the chef is best to stay with his French food, which he is well known for. Overpriced and underrated of quality food. Don’t this restaurant will be around for long! What a disappoint!!!!

    We had chips, salsa, and tacos - all were of very good quality; however, $9-$12 per street taco and $17 per house margarita are a bit too bougie for my taste. The place was busy so the prices don't seem to bother anyone else.

    Terrible experience. Our reservation was at 8:15, we got there right on time and they didn’t seat us until 8:30. We sat outside and no one came up to us for 30 minutes. No menu no waters nothing. Then another hostess came to our table and said “you weren’t supposed to sit here” … okay? we didn’t put our order in until 9:30. It was just a terrible experience. Food was not that good and service even worse. Not to mention extremely overpriced. Don’t waste your time like we did.

    The pineapple habanero margarita is perfectly made. A great ratio and very delicious. The tacos are amazing. Best veggie mushroom taco! I’m not even a vegetarian and would order it again and again. I have also never seen such a great presentation of a breakfast taco. Delicious too! First time at this restaurant and would definitely come back for drinks and tacos. A bit on the pricier side, but worth it. I would come back again when nearby. My only complaint was the service. The hostess was very friendly and had great customer skills even when in the middle of something. She knew what to say and in a polite manner. Our busser quickly brought us waters and was friendly as well. It was our server, can’t remember her name, that was very flat and brought a lot of the energy down. She had no enthusiasm and really came across like she didn’t even want to be there. Maybe she wasn’t feeling well, I don’t know, but damnn you can’t even fake it when we weren’t even being needy or annoying lol. That’s the only part that I would warn people haha. Also, because she couldn’t even offer us various way of payments. I guess just an order taker booo! No customer or solving skills at all. We were only a party of two by the way so just a heads up if you come here with a larger group. Or maybe ask and say something beforehand.
