One of the best upscale Mexican restaurants in LA. Carnitas are to die for and don’t leave without having a spicy, cucumber margarita. A little cramped at this location, but it’s 4th Street in Santa Monica. Must have a reservation for weekends.Parking: Recommend getting an Uber but there is plenty of paid parking nearby in the Promenade structures. Sometimes difficult to find a spot. But usually available.
One of the best contemporary Mexican I’ve had in a while. The chef balances inventive tastes, offering new twists on classic tastes. The pulpo al pastor was a standout, the guacamole and chips super tasty, and even classic tacos were super flavoursome. Highly recommended.
