Care for some bedhead with your burrito?

The pierced and tattooed Silver Lake crowd flocks to this restaurant for gooey queso fundido, green-corn tamales and fresh guacamole. There's also a decent selection of fresh seafood and vegetarian dishes, including shrimp in garlic sauce and spinach enchiladas. The interior is groovy Nuevo Mexican: a couple of pinatas, bright primary colors and a bar that serves knockout margaritas made with top-shelf tequilas.
