"With locations in Torrance, Culver City, and West Hollywood, you’re never too far from Madre. And that’s a good thing, because this Oaxacan restaurant serves incredible food in a casual atmosphere with one of the best mezcal stocks in LA. While we certainly support getting involved with a mezcal flight, the one cocktail you can’t miss is their smokey margarita. Made with mezcal joven, it’s certainly smoky, but the sweet and spicy notes of the red chile liqueur and agave balance it out perfectly. It’s $13, but if you come during their weekday Happy Hour from 3-6pm, it’s only $11." - Brant Cox
