As far as I'm concerned this is the best restaurant in Santa Monica. I bring all of my out of town friends here and they love it. The chicken stella is amazing (yummy corn cake in tamale and great veggies are bonuses), the specials are always good, the desserts are to die for and the ribs, well the ribs are SCRUMPTIOUS. Better than any I have had anywhere ever, including steak houses and Mr. Cecil's Cal. Ribs. Go to Babalu, you won't be disappointed.
Pros: reasonable, good service, bright
Cons: small, loud
