Loteria Grill of Hollywood

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".

So Loteria has no problem with people just coming in and freely popping their own beers at the tables? That doesn't sound right. This blog sucks.

Editor in Chief's note: We at the Tacohunter blog in no way encourage our patrons to bring their own beer to Loteria on Hollywood; although, we are firmly in favor of making your own AT HOME with the recipe provided. Please pardon the irresponsible suggestion, and Thank You to ChuyScout for your keen head's up observation.

It wasn't my intention that people come to Loteria with beer, but rather that they save their money and make Micheladas at home.

Sorry about the confusion.
