West Hollywood's Best Mexican Restaurant

We crunched the numbers on West Hollywood’s Mexican food, and the data is delicious. From the smoky mezcal margaritas at Cavatina to the ten-dollar spicy margaritas at Zarape', this stretch of Santa Monica Boulevard runs a full spectrum.

You can chase a barbacoa lamb neck at Broken Spanish or crush a crunchwrap at Doomie's NextMex without breaking a sweat. One visit to Love Organic Cafe had me back within 48 hours, which is the only metric that matters.
