I'm sorry. The food very good, server very nice, noise level was crazy. There were two tables of idiot women who ruined my dinner here. So loud & obnoxious. Management must have been fine with it. Or maybe afraid of them!

Wonderful ambience, staff and food. I highly recommend! I loved the mix of El Dia de Los Muertos and Mexican Art. Take a look at the ceiling when you go.

This place had it all, including a great Margarita menu (coming from a guy who lives a view miles from Rio Grande (Fort Collins Colorado) which are still the best. Great atmosphere and food.

Authentic and fresh Mexican food in the South Bay! Food was prepared to order and the taste was excellent. Decor appeared to celebrate Dia de los Muertos. Our waiter was energetic and appeared to be excited about the restaurant and menu. It was loud and noisy, so I would not recommend for a romantic night out. Otherwise, it's nice to... More

Just left the restaurant. Everything we ordered were yummy. We had a pitcher of the house margarita for the 3 of us. The calamari a la diablo was especially good. William is an awesome waiter - he was very attentive. Will definitely go back. Will probably try the brunch next time.

I've been here at least 20 times and I have never been disappointed. I love the 120 greens salad and all their food is a good value. Go for lunch during too- they have great deals. A must try!

In Southern California where Mexican restaurants are on nearly every corner, Ortega 120 stands out. The menu is unique and the atmosphere is fantastic. Try the chile relleno stuffed with short ribs...wow. Worth a visit for sure.
