"Almost 50 years into service, the combination of beach air and garden atmosphere at Baja Cantina hasn’t aged a day. Its location between the Venice Canals and the beach plays throughout the outdoors spaces. The tented patio could be in someone’s backyard, but the sandy floor is a reminder that you’re only blocks from the ocean. The mezcal list here is flight-worthy, or you can order a Frost on the Rocks, with citrus cordial, coconut, pineapple, and rosemary." - Robert Spuhler
