"The first time we went to Bar Calo, we thought we had walked into a satirical urban lifestyle exhibit. There were exhausted-looking 23 year-olds draped across the couch, chain-smoking musicians on the front patio drinking tequila cocktails, and a healthy handful of people who have crafted overalls out of repurposed Trader Joe’s bags. This modern Mexican bar in Echo Park is complete insanity, and also one of the most exciting places to drink in LA. People watching aside, the cocktails are excellent and if you don’t order at least a few things off the bar food menu, you’re doing it wrong." - brant cox
