If you asked us to pick an official cocktail of L.A., micheladas or Moscow mules might leap to mind–but margaritas would certainly be on the list of candidates. And even in troubled times, the simple drink tastes like a bit of sunshine in a glass. Plus a little extra vitamin c from the lime juice couldn’t hurt anybody these days, right?

Casa Vega

A Valley staple since 1956, Casa Vega is reopening on February 22. Roll through the drive-up “cantina” for a variety of margarita options, including the newest option, the Tarantino, a nod to Casa Vega’s appearance in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Order on Casa Vega’s website or call 818-788-4868. 

Madre
