El Compadre in Los Angeles
El Compadre is a popular Hollywood restaurant located on Sunset Boulevard. The joint may not be totally gourmet, but it's perfect for a late-night dinner any day of the week. If the late-night crowds and mariachi band don't wake you up, then the flaming margaritas will. Those maragaritas--the pineapple one is particularly tasty--are El Compadre's signature cocktail. Good options for grub include the fajitas, tacos and taquitos. This outpost is also great for celebrity-spotting. We saw Drew Barrymore and boyfriend Fabrizio Moretti, plus a bunch of ex-Road Rulers, all there on a Monday night.
The Sunset Boulevard location may be popping, but there's another flavor of El Compadre in Silver Lake. That one is more laid back and has friendlier staff. It's perfect for a post-party weekend lunch, and can get downright quiet during daytime hours. That means you and your flaming margarita can be together in peace for as long as you like.
