Lares

Mexican restaurant · Santa Monica

"Santa Monica’s Lares has been operating daily since 1968 with old-school Mexican food, margaritas, and mariachi music. Though plenty come for dinner, breakfast is equally tasty with a top sirloin steak, eggs a la Mexicana, and tortillas, along with beans and potatoes." - Matthew Kang, Eater Staff, Mona Holmes
