"A little piece of you dies every time you look at a dinner bill and see that you and your friends somehow spent $150 only on drinks. Escuela’s very generous BYOB policy is your solution. Whether you bring a bottle of wine, a six pack, or a full handle of tequila, the staff at this laid back Mexican spot on Beverly will open it for a flat $4 fee. The homemade chips are very good, and if you get them with guacamole they’ll keep refilling your basket until you don’t even want those tacos you ordered anymore." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, brett keating
