Fantastic classic LA ambiance with gorgeous and tasty dishes. This place is hidden away a bit but by all rights should be rammed with customers all the time. Great and friendly service too.

Look for the neon sign; the restaurant entrance is behind the dentist’s office. Delicious bacon guacamole and short rib taquitos! Drinks are also delicious, and the staff is so nice and friendly~

Hidden gem. I dig the converted house into a restaurant aesthetic. Look for the neon sign. Food is fantastic. Portion size is a small plates format and great for sharing. Mezcal old fashioned was tasty.

I always bring friends visiting from out of town here. Cascabel’s slightly upscale menu puts an elegant twist on classic Mexican dishes, and I love that. My go-to favorites? The lobster tacos and Mexican corn bread—absolute musts.
