Lares

Definitely one of the most authentic Mexican Food places on the west side. The setting is great and the food is even better. I recommend the Chicken Chipotle , margaritas & the breakfast !! ❤️

My favorite Mexican Restaurant in town . Try the margaritas , the Savanitas, and the fish tacos :)Complete with live Mariachi music . A bar both down and upstairs. I prefer hanging upstairs :)

Chips/salsa worth coming for. Service good. Some delay w/ coffee I ordered. (It came after dinner ) but the food was delicious. Ordered off menu bc I don't eat meat, and the been burrito was amazing.

Try the shrimp ceviche ! Very authentic mexican food , awesome taste and quality service. Margaritas are a must.. good for families too. Absolutely loved it!

If you come here often enough the servers get to know you and they are super nice

Great food! Love the daily specials ...Fridays my fave, grilled red snapper tacos rice and beans $8! Great margaritas too ????

For breakfast definitely try the Macuca, it sounds strange but it’s soooo good. Ask for chicken instead of bacon if you want. ????

Chicken fajitas are delicious

Really great food, a wonderful staff , and cheap and amazing margaritas ! What else could you want? :)

Make sure to ask for the house spicy salsa with your chips , fantastic!

Amazingly good Mexican place . Must must do in LA. And really friendly staff with super good food.

U can always tell a good mex rest. By the salsa & beans. Good spot! Margaritas r fantastic! As a Latina women -thumbs up

Carnitas , check. Margarita , check. Need I say more?

Faves: Sr. Maclorio Especial, Chips & Salsa

Margaritas are the best!

Great place to grab some delicious Mexican food with friends. Don't forget about the margarita's they are tasty here. If your feeling dangerous try the Lengua or tongue .

Local institution. Great food and nice staff ????????✨

Carnitas , chicken mole , chips and salsa ????????.

The entire menu but most importantly... Torta de Carnitas .

The beans here are awesome!

Service is great, food is consistently awesome and the house margaritas are hand poured not pre mixed.

Bedt home made Mexican dishes . The machaca is excellent!

Tacos and enchiladas are grrrreat! Very quaint place w lots of pizzaz

Carnitas in chile verde . And a Casadores margarita on the rocks with salt. Do it.

Steak and shrimp fajitas are the bomb !

More room upstairs. Margaritas are good. The salsa is great!

The camarones a la diabla are delicious but are also VERY spicy !

Carnitas enchiladas here are great.

Seriously, I'm a margarita expert, and the margis here are amazing!

Most want to eat upstairs. Some of us like eating family style with the owners downstairs.

Opened in 1968.

Chicken enchilades in red sauce rock!

great for birthday parties. order the carnitas .

Order two small guacamoles instead of one large. Basically the same amount for a few dollars cheaper.

Great! Tip os too short

The margaritas were great

Whoa there, tiger! A word to the wise: the margaritas are stronger than they taste.

The margaritas are great!! :)))

Get the tres leche

The carne asada tacos are the best around!

Carnitas all day, every day.
