"This ultra-hip Mexican restaurant is where the local club kids and young professionals go to slug margaritas and dine on eclectic fare before painting the town red. The large, diner-like room is festive with lots of folk art tchotchkes and always bustling, especially on the weekends. The food is more Tex-Mex than the real deal:A green corn tamales are sweet and savory, the queso fundido rich and salty, and the shrimp on tomatillo sauce appropriately fiery."

"The pierced and tattooed Silver Lake crowd flocks to this restaurant for gooey queso fundido, green-corn tamales and fresh guacamole. There's also a decent selection of fresh seafood and vegetarian dishes, including shrimp in garlic sauce and spinach enchiladas. The interior is groovy Nuevo Mexican: a couple of pinatas, bright primary colors and a bar that serves knockout margaritas made with top-shelf tequilas."

"Viva Mexico City! This is the place you go to when you're craving good Mexican food in a sophisticated sit-down environment. (I love a good taco stand as much as the next girl, but...) The corn tamales are a must-have appetizer, along with the ceviche de camarones and the gorditas. Choose the pollo pibil, a Yucatan-style chicken dish as your plato fuerte. And don't forget to eat your frijoles! Finally, promise me you'll have the strawberry margarita--West siders, that alone is worth the trip to the East."

"The decor is '50s Naugahyde, the crowd Los Feliz cool cats, and the menu atypical. The spinach enchilada--with a Zacatecanas sauce of poblano chiles, sour cream, and onions--best shows off the kitch-en's ability. Carnivores will like the cochinita pibil (Yuca-tan-style marinated pork)."

"There are few restaurants in Los Angeles that achieve a delicate balance, serving up a familiar ethnic cuisine yet reinvigorating it with finesse and invention. Even rarer, keeping it as reasonably priced as any neighborhood joint, and presenting it in a fun, trendy space that one can still get into without a reservation. Rarer still is keeping it up for an avid clientele for 10 years and counting. Mexico City lives up to the billing. This is an all-time favorite that offers some of L.A's best Mexican cooking, albeit on a more pleasing, modest scale than the glamorous Border Grill and Ciudad."
