"Lanea is a bright Mexican restaurant in Downtown Santa Monica, and the kind of place that will raise your spirits no matter how many passive-aggressive emails you received that day. With over 400 different kinds of tequila and mezcal, the margaritas are the way to go. But come hungry too, because their menu is from the people behind Barba Kush, one of East LA’s best taquerias. Get the perfectly-spiced lamb barbacoa." - brant cox, brett keating
"This casual Santa Monica cocktail bar has several to-go cocktail options. That includes $20 canned 4-packs of house cocktails ranging from mimosas to margaritas, various tequila flights, and $60 party packs that come with 12 canned cocktails and beer, plus a pint glass." - brant cox, brett keating
"The Santa Monica cocktail bar just opened up an outdoor seating area along the front sidewalk. All the tables are six feet apart, making it a great option for some al fresco drinking and tacos courtesy of Barbakush in East LA." - brett keating
"I can book a seat for a one-time Clueless-themed brunch on September 17 at Lanea in Santa Monica; tickets cost $55 and include a main dish and a drink." - Cathy Chaplin
"I remember Lanea as one of the bigger Westside openings of 2019: a leafy, breezy Broadway spot in Santa Monica with blonde wood, house plants, and plenty of sun. It offered something the seaside city hadn’t seen before — true barbacoa from East LA underground hit Barba Kush — and the cocktails and barbacoa proved to be a hit." - Farley Elliott
