Worthy Picks
#1
Paco's Tacos
7.9
A retro cantina anchored in Mar Vista since 1975, built around handmade flour tortillas and oversized combo plates that reward group ordering. The fish-tank-and-Christmas-lights dining room sets the tone—unhurried, unfussy, and sized for families who treat this as a weekly rotation spot rather than a special occasion. Portions run large enough that sharing a SuperMex burrito or splitting enchiladas is the move.
Must-Try Dishes:
Queso Fundido Con Chorizo, Flour Tortillas, Albondigas Soup
What Makes it Special: A Mar Vista fixture since 1975, serving massive combo plates and handmade flour tortillas in a retro cantina with fish tanks and Christmas lights.
#2
Casa Sanchez
7.9
A lively sit-down option with patio energy and a broad menu that covers crowd-pleasers and coastal-leaning plates. It’s a reliable neighborhood dinner spot for fajitas, ceviche, and strong margaritas without pretense.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken or Steak Fajitas, Ceviche, Cochinita Pibil
What Makes it Special: Patio-driven, full-service Mexican with a strong cocktail pull.
