La Huasteca Restaurant

Paying tribute to the La Huasteca region of Mexico, this Lynwood restaurant serves up traditional cuisine to the South Bay crowd. Gorge on enchiladas filled with chicken or seafood, scoop up chunks of guacamole with homemade tortilla chips, and indulge in "water of the goddesses"—a refreshing drink made with corn and cacao (they claim it has aphrodesiac properties). There's also a full bar here, where you can imbibe in everything from a White Russian to a more classic margarita. On the off chance you find yourself in Lynwood (uhh...we're sorry?), make sure to pay a visit to this Mexican oasis.
