El Chavo (CLOSED)

LA is a watering hole for authentic Mexican grub, and when it comes to finger-licking street fare (and a tequila-filled cocktail), El Chavo knows what they’re doing and then some. Chock-full of classics like tamales, nachos, tacos and hearty carne asada plates, this Silver Lake staple is the go-to joint to satisfy your Mexican food cravings and well-deserved margarita.
