14 Best Mexican Restaurants in Los Angeles | Condé Nast Traveler

"This is the birthplace of the L.A. Mexican-American restaurant model: black and white photographs tracing its history and significance, moody lighting from hanging lanterns, upholstered booths and heavy wooden furniture. While you could get a sprightly ceviche or a fish taco, this place earned its reputation in the mid-century on albondigas soup, tableside guacamole, chimichangas , and enchiladas, so keep your order old school and respect the soul of the operation." - Hugh Garvey
