The Best Mexican Restaurants in LA, According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"This classic Santa Monica Mexican restaurant has been serving amply portioned, reasonably priced combination plates, fajitas, and margaritas since 1968. The low-key interior, with dark wood beams and string lights overhead, feels nostalgic for those who grew up dining at Los Angeles’s Mexican restaurants. A sizable platter of chicken enchiladas offers tender, shredded chicken with a tangy salsa. Fajitas come on a proper sizzling skillet with a bonus of potatoes to help mop up the brown juices. Even with inflation prices, the margaritas are still less than $11." - Rebecca Roland
