Why You Should Go: The first bite of a really good enchilada is hard to replicate. The burst of authentic flavor is so real, you'd swear you were dining al fresco in the garden of su casa with a cool ocean breeze on your back. Here in the LA, you can get that feeling anytime at Tarascos, thanks to fresh, flavorful Mexican fare and an outdoor patio for dining under the sun. 

Why You’ll Love It: A Silver Lake favorite for its boho spirit, fresh ingredients, and homemade dishes, this taqueria celebrates Mexican cuisine without any over-the-top sombrero decorations or mariachi singers interrupting your meal. Order off the flavorful menu, handwritten on the chalkboard and enjoy your meal on the oasis-like vibe of the outdoor patio.

What You’ll Eat: Start your fiesta with an order of crispy tortilla chips served with spicy pico de gallo or creamy guacamole. Then choose marinated steak or tender chicken fajitas, sautéed with a mix of green and red bell peppers, onions and cilantro, served with rice and beans. If you’d rather go the enchilada route, choose chicken or cheese, topped with red sauce with rice, beans, guacamole and sour cream. Thirsty? There’s a margarita for that, with or without salt.
