"Though there are four Madre locations throughout Southern California, the West Hollywood outlet has a dazzling mezcal display behind the bar and one of the country’s best tequila and mezcal collections. Staff can guide diners to make excellent selections to sip, but Madre is also an excellent choice for Oaxacan food, including tlayudas, moles, and memelas. The wood-fire oven makes it possible to prepare barbacoa de borrego (lamb barbacoa), and pescado sarandeado. Order a strong cocktail or beer to wash it all down." - Mona Holmes
