My bestie & I come for our **favorite nachos, probably every week. We get regular nachos & the house margaritas...affordable & delicious! Very festive vibe & the staff are amazing! ❤️
PHRESHAIRJune 5, 2016Tequila. Mezcal. The best selection this side of the border. love the luchador deco. The joint doesn't disappoint.
Abbey KeckFebruary 17The chips and guacamole are delicious. Also definitely get the Alex OG cocktail. And the mushroom taco is super good. Pollo taco good, too.
Natalie GuerraJune 26, 2018The spicy margarita was one of the best I’ve had in LA. Tacos are amazing as well. Great date spot or a nice spot to go with a friend!
Danny NathanFebruary 14, 2017Who doesn't love a Mexican wrestler themed bar with a huge tequila list and awesome fish tacos?
Rian RochfordMay 14, 2013Don't let the waitress talk you out of the mole taco . If you love mole you'll love it. Pair it with some del maguey vida mezcal- Jane LeForceNovember 11, 2021favorite **spicy maggie, tequila shrimp, cheese enchilada and papas taco. great 1st date place i met my husband and we are stoked they reopened.
Beatriz CastilloJanuary 15, 2015Great place! Loved their margaritas and their hongo (mushroom) with manchego cheese taco.
Sharon RonenSeptember 11, 2011Amazing array of margaritas and tequilas! Gets a little sceney but still fairly lowkey. Surprisingly tasty vittles-- I love their chips and salsa.
The tacos are so good, they melt in your mouth! Great margaritas too!
Doris NeubauerNovember 17, 2012The cilantro ginger margarita is too subtle and needs more of a punch. Potato tacos are amazing. Wonderful ambiance but not good for groups.
fiestalatinabeerJuly 3, 2017The only100% agave beer, with a smooth flavor and gluten free. Taste Fiesta Latina here at: El Carmen
Dustin ShawJuly 21, 2013Great price on the cuervo reserva de La familia. Great tacos and awesome service.
Connor CumminsMarch 10, 2013The spicy margarita is not for the faint of heart, but if you've got the balls it's worth it.
Andi ForsterMarch 5, 2014You can play classic rock, oldies, punk, and Daft Punk on the jukebox here.
Happy hour margarita ($5) + side of jalapeños (free with your food) = spicy margarita ... Don't pay $5 for muddling!
KatrinaJanuary 27, 2015Popular night out place. Filled with ppl and drunk off margaritas!! Bumped into a few fame chefs before
Adam R.September 20, 2013If the food is the The bomb then the margaritas are like the B-2 Stealth Bombers to deliver them...and that's the worst metaphor i've ever concocted. Pretty much necessitates an apology.- Dustin ShawAugust 18, 2013Have the siete leguas silver or añejo before you order your go to tequila if you've never had it. It's a solid tequila.
Go for happy hour, stay for a million margaritas. Amazing date spot.
Cristina F-MMarch 18, 2010$4 margaritas from 5-7pm! don't forget to build a base with their awesome chicken tacos and guacamole, ceviche is good too
Dominique CherelleMay 6, 2012Margaritas are your best bet. As for the tacos: carnitas were good, pollo was too oily and the carne...sauce tasted like A1. Do not want.
Go with the jalapeno margaritas and the tomatillo ribs and a potato Taco. Won't forget it.
Showtime NetworkJune 2, 2011Good date spot. Mexican food and good drinks. -Francine, The Real L Word
- A must try are their spicy margaritas and the chicken flautas! NICE!!
- Edgar SarmientoJanuary 2, 2010tons of great tequilas and definitely the best 'ritas in town. Get one.
catherine castleOctober 18, 2011My fav place to come with my girlfriends...... greatest margaritas!!!!!!!
Moira McCarthyDecember 18, 2009Love the Jalepeno Margs. Just watched a girl send one back and tell the waitress that it was "just too spicy" so warning-- don't try unless you are a bad asss...
