    Opened as La Mission Cafe on Spring St. In 1928 it moved to the oldest brick building in LA, built 1855.

    Best Margarits in El Pueblo. Sit on the terrace and watch tourists buy fake designer bags.

    The fresh blend mango margarita was good (&strong). Tortilla soup...heavenly (&spicy). Guac = good. Service started excellent, but ended poorly. 25+ mins waiting for bill &my waitress forgot about us.

    Asked for the best tasting meat, Cochinita Pibil (pork) suggested. Nailed it! My table fought over it.

    Mariachi is super loud! They play inside as well as outside, so beware on the weekends! Very noisy to the point where I can't hear myself think.

    On hot days, order the La Cubana--a perfect combination of salt, lime juice and Dos XX. Essential drinking.
