Celebrate Cinco de Mayo at Ortega 120

has been featured on local television and in newspapers, and the restaurant won Open Table's 2011 Diner's Choice Award and L.A. Weekly's Best Classic Margarita designation. They host cooking classes and charitable events--even their website music is catchy! But there's still a remote chance some of you haven't heard of them. Now you have.

Eat on Ortega 120's patio or back in the Frida Kahlo room, where even the ceiling celebrates the artist. The food here is surprisingly affordable—especially since this is innovative fare made with the best ingredients.

Forget run-of-the-mill tacos. Think instead about tacos made with Sushi-grade Ahi (yellowfin tuna) with roasted corn and mango in the sauce, or baby back ribs soaked in mole sauce.

By the way, the 120 in their name stands for the minimum number of tequilas stocked in the bar—just in case you needed another incentive to visit. Ortega 120 can be a great place to party or to enjoy an intimate dinner.
