This week's restaurant review is a special one: El Compadre, in Los Angeles. El Compadre has two locations on Sunset Blvd in LA, one in Echo Park and one in Hollywood. The food is delicious although a bit gringo Mexican (read: cheese is on everything, and you get endless chips and fiery salsa), but the decor and the flaming margaritas make up for it.
I'd recommend the Vagabundo or the El Compadre, although everything I've ever had there is delicious. Make reservations, and you'll probably still have to wait any night of the week after 6pm. Inside, the atmosphere is dark and the decor like a redone Spanish villa. You'll fall in love, even before the mariachis start to sing or a woman comes in off the street to sell you individual roses at your seat.
