Socalo - Review - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"Something about Socalo’s funky, mid-century decor and portraits of cute chihuahuas feel like they belong poolside at a Palm Springs hotel, which isn’t the worst contrast for a place across the street from a busy hospital. This casual spot from the Border Grill chefs is one of few sit-down Mexican restaurants in mid-city Santa Monica, and a reliable place to find solid antojitos and cocktails throughout the day. The deshebrada tacos with shredded brisket are drippy and dusted with cotija, and the gooey tacos gobernador with cheesy shrimp make for a nice snack with the bar’s strong margaritas. If you’re the type whose ears perk up at the mention of a Taco Tuesday special, this is your kind of place." - Sylvio Martins
