I have never had so much fun at a Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles. The Velvet Margarita Cantina is THE place!!!!! You gotta try the chicken mole. The music is great too. I never knew there was a Spanish version of Neil Diamond's ""Cracklin' Rose."" Also, this place is a tequila lover's dream. I got quite an education from the bartender about what makes a great tequila. I cannot imagine that there is a better selection of tequila anywhere north of the border. You will also have fun trying to identify all of the velvet portraits. Of course there is the most obvious Elvis, but my faves are Herve Villechaize and Sid Vicious!
