Julio's Mexican Grill

5174 Wilshire Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90036



The salsa negra and the salsa verde were a little bland.

I did come up with a new drink, via their generous drink fountain... the "Arnoldo Palmero", which is one part iced tea and one part sweet watermelon-flavored drink.

A fish-taco enthusiast that joined us did enjoy their tangy potato-filled burrito.

Keep your taco eyes clear,

p.s. Does the hunter hunt the taco, or does the taco hunt the hunter?

Loteria Grill of Hollywood

6627 Hollywood Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90028
(323) 465-2500

A nine dollar Michelada, you say? Can it really be that good?

The Michelada is a popular Mexican alcoholic beverage of several variations, the common ingredient being beer.

It can be similar to a Bloody Mary but containing beer instead of vodka, although a less complicated concoction of Mexican beer with sauces and lime juice is also referred to as a Michelada. The drink dates back to the 1940s, when mixing beer with hot sauce or salsa became popular in Mexico. In recent years, the drink has begun to become popular in the United States.

But can Loteria Grill make one worth nine big ones? Eh, not really. Instead, grab yourself a 50¢ Tecate, somehow throw in lime juice, Cholula, paprika and salt, then use the leftover cash to buy yourself a nice side order of Loteria guacamole, which goes well with their chips, which coincidentally goes well with their delicious "hot sauce".
