"Even though this Toluca Lake Mexican restaurant (with other locations in Burbank and Simi Valley) has been in business since 1969, its margaritas are consistently delicious and sugary. Expect the first few sips of this sweet marg to punch you in the face, but after a few more, your taste buds recalibrate. They’re also enormous, so you only need two before the buzz hits hard. Be sure to get the tortilla soup - it’s one of our favorites in town." - brant cox, sylvio martins
