Lula Cocina Mexicana

"Lula’s in Santa Monica has one of the best tequila selections in the city. But today, you’re not ordering anything on the rocks unless it’s a margarita or a cadillac. The margarita is a classic version with silver tequila, lime juice, and a healthy dose of triple sec to cut through the sourness. It’s served by the pint in a juice box - do you really need any more motivation than that? Call to order - (310) 392-5711." - brett keating

"You go to Lula’s when you want to eat a lot of very solid Mexican food and drink fresh margaritas on a bright patio that the Pier tourists haven’t discovered yet. This is a fun cantina where you will eat an entire order of fajitas to yourself and might consider slurping the complimentary salsa with a straw. Fill a booth with friends before a night out or come with a date on a weeknight - just know that one margarita here is powerful enough to make you click purchase on everything that’s been sitting in your Amazon cart since 2014. Plus, they have a great Happy Hour with food and drinks from 1-5pm on weekends and until 6pm during the week." - jess basser sanders, amy clark
