A Mexican institution on Beverly

This 82yr-old behemoth on Beverly is still the go-to spot for Mex-American grub in Mid-City West. Underneath the ambience-enhancing Christmas lights hanging from the ceiling, you’ll find all the comforting usual suspects -- fajitas, nachos, and enchiladas -- along with the occasional wild card, like OSTRICH tacos (!) and, um, burgers. On Tequila Tuesdays, they offer at-the-bar tastings and dollar-off ‘ritas, ensuring that you can essentially already call Wednesday a bust.
