My bestie & I come for our **favorite nachos , probably every week. We get regular nachos & the house margaritas ...affordable & delicious! Very festive vibe & the staff are amazing! ❤️
Tequila . Mezcal . The best selection this side of the border. love the luchador deco. The joint doesn't disappoint.
The chips and guacamole are delicious. Also definitely get the Alex OG cocktail . And the mushroom taco is super good. Pollo taco good, too.
Who doesn't love a Mexican wrestler themed bar with a huge tequila list and awesome fish tacos ?
The spicy margarita was one of the best I’ve had in LA. Tacos are amazing as well . Great date spot or a nice spot to go with a friend!
favorite **spicy maggie, tequila shrimp , cheese enchilada and papas taco . great 1st date place i met my husband and we are stoked they reopened.
The only100% agave beer , with a smooth flavor and gluten free . Taste Fiesta Latina here at: El Carmen
Don't let the waitress talk you out of the mole taco . If you love mole you'll love it. Pair it with some del maguey vida mezcal
Take advantage of their extensive tequila selection , and if you're feeling adventurous try the "tuna " margarita - it's not the fish , don't worry- Tuna is spanish for cactus fruit . Read more
Amazing array of margaritas and tequilas ! Gets a little sceney but still fairly lowkey. Surprisingly tasty vittles-- I love their chips and salsa .
Great place! Loved their margaritas and their hongo (mushroom ) with manchego cheese taco .
Go for happy hour , stay for a million margaritas . Amazing date spot .
The tacos are so good, they melt in your mouth! Great margaritas too!
Have the siete leguas silver or añejo before you order your go to tequila if you've never had it. It's a solid tequila .
The cilantro ginger margarita is too subtle and needs more of a punch. Potato tacos are amazing. Wonderful ambiance but not good for groups .
Popular night out place. Filled with ppl and drunk off margaritas !! Bumped into a few fame chefs before
Happy hour margarita ($5) + side of jalapeños (free with your food) = spicy margarita ... Don't pay $5 for muddling!
Great price on the cuervo reserva de La familia. Great tacos and awesome service.
You can play classic rock , oldies, punk, and Daft Punk on the jukebox here.
Love this place! Great vibe and amazing spicy margaritas .
Amazing mezcal selection
The spicy margarita is not for the faint of heart, but if you've got the balls it's worth it.
Best happy hour deals anywhere! Try the jalapeno margarita !
Tacos obv!!! Great spot for authentic tacos ???? ???? ????
If the food is the The bomb then the margaritas are like the B-2 Stealth Bombers to deliver them...and that's the worst metaphor i've ever concocted . Pretty much necessitates an apology.
$4 margaritas from 5-7pm! don't forget to build a base with their awesome chicken tacos and guacamole , ceviche is good too
Good date spot . Mexican food and good drinks. -Francine, The Real L Word
Get the cucumber margarita and elote
Really good happy hour and the potato tacos are amazing!
The potato flautas ! I dream about them - they are that good.
Great guava margarita !
Amazing Margs for a 'dive' bar . Enjoy
Order their take on the Mohito, the Mexito.
The fish tacos are ridiculous. The cucumber mint marg is also delicious.
The jalapeño margarita is my favorite. Can't have just one.
Fun for a not divey dive bar !
Order the cucumber mint and the spicy jalapeno margaritas .
best spicy jalapeño margarita , HH til 7 food and drinks
Margaritas are your best bet. As for the tacos : carnitas were good, pollo was too oily and the carne...sauce tasted like A1. Do not want.
The blood orange margarita is amazing!! Highly recommend it!
Love the cactus fruit margs on the rocks. Fresh and tart .
Love the Jalepeno Margs . Just watched a girl send one back and tell the waitress that it was "just too spicy " so warning-- don't try unless you are a bad asss...
It's all about the tequila shrimp !
Go with the jalapeno margaritas and the tomatillo ribs and a potato Taco . Won't forget it.
The guacamole is amazing! Order some & enjoy :)
A must try are their spicy margaritas and the chicken flautas ! NICE!!
tons of great tequilas and definitely the best 'ritas in town . Get one.
My fav place to come with my girlfriends...... greatest margaritas !!!!!!!
Great Churros W/ chocolate !! Yumi
