La Serenata Gourmet

Frommer's Review

Westsiders rejoiced when this branch of Boyle Heights's award-winning La Serenata de Girabaldi began serving its authentic, but innovative, Mexican cuisine just a block away from the Westside Pavilion shopping center. This place is casual, fun, and intensely delicious. Local favorites are the Mexican shrimp with rich mojo de ajo sauce, fish tacos, shrimp enchiladas, pork gorditas, and the garlicky beef tongue in tomatillo sauce. All dishes are accented with hand-patted corn tortillas, fresh chips dusted with añejo cheese, and flavorful fresh salsas. It's always packed to capacity, so try to avoid the prime lunch and dinner hours.
