This place is so nice and the host was very nice and friendly.
Went there 2 times in 2 weeks.
The drinks were great as well.
The oysters were a delight and the papa tacos ,yum.
Going back soon!

One of the best brunch experiences I've had. The food set a new standard of what I know is possible for breakfast. I will make El Barrio Cantina a regular stop next time I am in LA.

This one is a bit of a diamond in the desert. Mainly because it's so difficult to get to. The area is local making it tough to find parking. But the food is amazing. Amazing. Cool paintings.
