Border Grill
1445 4th St, Santa Monica,
CA 90401 · 310-451-1655
User Rating: 8 / 10
Description: SANTA MONICA.
It's all about the margaritas and guacamole at this Mexican favorite. A
festive and loud spot, Border Grill is known for spicy Mexican eats and
free-flowing margaritas, tequilas, and sangria. Exceptional dishes include
the achiote-marinated pork or the seasoned carnitas on corn tortillas. Happy
hour can be enjoyed weekdays from 5pm-7pm. Casual dress.

Casablanca
220 Lincoln Blvd, Venice,
CA 90291 · 310-392-5751
User Rating: 9.6 / 10
Description: VENICE.
If you're a fan of the movie "Casablanca"
(which is set in Morocco),
you'll likely be a fan of this restaurant, too. The décor and ambiance pay
homage to what some call one of the greatest movies of all time, but the
cuisine is straight Mexican. While that seems a strange combination, the end
result works quite well. Handmade tortillas are prepared fresh daily, in the
center of the dining room no less, and the calamari is reputedly the best in
town. Live music is featured most nights, and the tequila list is vast.

Guelaguetza
11127 Palms Blvd, Palms, CA 90034 · 310-837-1153
User Rating: 9 / 10
Description: PALMS. Boasting an inventive menu, this small restaurant
is big on taste (and spice)! Enjoy goodies like goat stew, mole, or crickets
cooked to perfection. Laid-back casual atmosphere is punctuated by the
warming smells of cinnamon and chile. Great breakfast stop as well. Casual
dress.

La
Serenata de Garibaldi - Santa Monica
1416 Fourth St, Santa Monica,
CA 90401-2309 · 310-656-7017
User Rating: 10 / 10
Description: SANTA MONICA.
For seafood done Mexican style, try this Santa Monica favorite. Regulars attest to
the fact that the consistent presentation of the expertly prepared seafood
dishes have made them steadfastly loyal. Order the fish quesadilla, the
shredded beef in red chile sauce, or the chicken enchiladas. Excellent
margaritas round out the experience. The décor is done in warm tones and
features carved stone pillars and a lovely fountain. An upscale casual
atmosphere pervades. Smart casual dress appropriate.

La Serenata Gourmet
10924 W Pico Blvd, West Los
Angeles, CA 90025 · 310-441-9667
User Rating: 7.75 / 10
Description: WESTWOOD. This place is an off-shoot of its famous East LA cousin, and the food is just as good. Fresh
fish either grilled or in a burrito, a gordita stuffed with shrimp, and
weekend breakfast specials keep the crowds coming back. They do not accept
reservations for groups of less than eight, so be prepared to wait. No
worries, though: this is one of the top Mexican restaurants in LA, so the
time is well spent.

CA 90731-3318 · 310-521-8818
Description: SAN PEDRO. This Cal-Mex restaurant has earned awards from
the Southern California Restaurant Writers Association, most likely because
of their inventive cuisine. From the swordfish taco to their full bar serving
nine microbrews and extensive wine list, each selection you make will have
the unique stamp of Sixth Street Bistro. Dine in or out on the patio, and
enjoy live entertainment Thu-Sat.

Sonora Cafe
180 S La Brea Ave, Los Angeles,
CA 90036 · 323-857-1800
Description: WEST HOLLYWOOD. This
incredible restaurant, full of texture and Southwestern style, steps away
from traditional fare and moves into the territory of nouvelle Southwestern
cuisine. Sitting amid elegant surroundings, diners treat themselves to
grilled antelope, tortilla soup, and rack of lamb. (If the sweet green corn
tamale is on the menu, be sure and try it!) For dessert, zuppa fruit or the
extravagant Southwest Sundae make grand finishes to a memorable meal. A great
change of pace. Dressy casual attire. Reservations accepted.

Tito's Tacos
11222 Washington
Pl, Culver City, CA 90230 · 310-391-5780
User Rating: 9.5 / 10
Description: CULVER
CITY. This
"real" taco stand has been dishing out addictive burritos and tacos
since 1959. You queue up, give your order, then stand back. Be sure to ask
for it "to go," even if you are eating in - with a "to
go" you get extra chips. You can choose from bean or beef only, as there
are no chickens in sight. Two tacos with cheese will set you back less than
$5. The lines are usually long, but they move fast. Cash only.

Tlapazola Grill
11676 Gateway Blvd, West Los
Angeles, CA 90025 · 310-477-1577
User Rating: 9.6 / 10
Description: WEST LOS ANGELES. Grilled pork tenderloin with mole amarillo, chicken with
mole negro - Tlapazola brings a unique Oaxacan-style to LA. Although there
are many imitations, the real thing is still the best. Their combination of
dozens of herbs, different types of chocolates, and chilis keeps regulars
coming back for the lamb, chicken, and pork dishes. The ambience is cool and
casual, and it is always interesting to see what your neighbor has ordered.
This is a marvelous place to try some dish you have never encountered before.
