Cactus Taqueria #1

A humble taco shack on the side of the road, Cactus offers up $4 tacos with all types of meat you could imagine, even beef tongue. They also have carne asada and chicken for the less adventurous. This spot dishes out other Mexican favorites, but plowing through cheap tacos is the main reason to come here.

El Compadre

$$ | Hollywood

All amigos are welcome at this retro-styled Mexican-American eatery known for its lively scene and potent flaming margaritas. The menu doesn’t stray too far from its 1975 original: mole-topped chicken enchiladas, sizzling fajitas, and street-style tacos are the best bets. Red vinyl booths and an excess of black wrought-iron grill work dominates the dining room. Director Quentin Tarantino is a reported regular. He’s joined by the in-crowd who come for the party atmosphere and reasonable prices. When the weather is fine, the shaded outdoor back patio away from bustling Sunset Boulevard is the spot for happy hour.
