Considering the waifu and I went during National Margarita Day, management was extremely accommodating with zero fuss on wait and getting a table. Service was super efficient and we were seated and got drinks in the blink of an eye. Definitely going to recommend the guac... and the micheladas... the home made mix goes a long way.
I love this place ... The best margaritas in the whole world !!! number one customer service !!! Love it !!!
Great atmosphere and amazing guacamole �
This is a great bar with great ceviche great atmosphere and some great people. I love it. �
Mejor lugar buenas bebidas good place mucho mezcal y tequila buenas cervezas mexicanas
Try it you'll love it! Hip on point service and awesome food!
El Carmen, I love you.. You're amazing, but as I'm writing this, mine and all the ear drums around me are at the receiving end of a full thrust 747 turbine also known as your jukebox. I love living life turned up to 11, but sometimes you know, 7 is cool too. Just sayin', maybe when the song is actually distorting and dogs are committing suicide in packs, it may be time to back off just a hair.
I still gave you five stars, but it's so loud my teeth hurt.
Awesome place!! Vanessa is the BEST bartender!!!
Great spot for happy hour. Came in after work with my friend. Happy hour 5-7. Highlights are the $6 beers and $7 margaritas. Inside has a cool, stylish interior. The food is good for soaking up the booze. Service was great. Friendly staff. There's street meter parking up and down the block but you might have to walk a block or two.
I had three different tacos here. Pollo, Carnita and Papa with Chorizo. All three were delicious however my favorite was the carnita. Service was very fast and fantastic. Ambiance is beautiful inside.
The food and service was great! I love how eclectic it is inside. Plan to speak loudly for the person you're with to hear you. Lol... If you're looking for an intimate dinner spot, this may not be the ideal place BUT, if you're looking for high energy and wanting to hang out, eat and great upbeat vibes, this is your place!
First went here 17 years ago when I lived down the street. Back in town, it was the first place we wanted to go. The same guy brought us our food from all those years ago.
Beautifully decorated with homages to the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema and the Luchadores (Mexican Masked wrestlers). If you decorate a place with artistic thought, beautiful lighting, and quality materials... no need to change a thing! And thankfully, they haven't.
Small, very tasty plates, delicious margaritas, and we have another reservation Sunday. The menu has all the old favorites (enchiladas, rice, and beans) and many additional items. Reservations recommended.
Cool atmosphere, a little small but the food was pretty good! Drinks were better lol 😆
Went in for a tequila tasting and had the best tacos ever!! Everything about the place is on point. Service was perfect, food came out fast and drinks were delicious.
The 4-star rating is because the guacamole and the salsa were not very good. But the tacos were outstanding. As were the drinks. Les, the owner, was positive toward me about my poor review of the guacamole and salsa, and he listened to my suggestions.
Yayyy‼️‼️♥️ El Carmen is back and better than ever. I LOVE THIS PLACE. ❤ El Carmen is such a great neighborhood bar, serving West Hollywood/ Beverly Grove. Best Happy hour ever. I have been a faithful patron for 7+years

Drinks and food were delicious! Had a craving for enchiladas and it was well satisfied. Service was quick and staff very lovely to interact with.
Happy hour will definitely make you happy. Can only recommend this venue for a visit.
Love the vibe. Great variety of loud music playing, spanish jams too. The waiters only bring your food. You have to order from the bartender so you wait a while. The bartender makes good drinks hooked us up.
I really like it here cuz of the Mexican wrestling thing going on. I do not like hipster or looking at them or being seen with them but being dark and red in there, you hardly notice them! The food is good, kind of small and always hurts my stomach but that's me. This time I took a pepcid before I chowed down and it worked! Beers are cold, I don't drink tequila or I will fight. Staff is fantastic, men's room very clean!
Service was professional and quick and the tacos and drinks where flavorful! A bit pricy but worthy for sure, the atmosphere itself and the food justifies it, not to mention the very large selection of hard liquors available
Loved it!
Great tacos and drinks, fast service and good vibes.
HH margaritas were delicious and strong. Friendly staff, fast service. Good food, inviting.
We got there when all of their tables were busy, they made room by having us share a booth. They were definitely accommodating and brought our food out fast.
Nice spot. I was upset that they charge extra for spicy salsa. What Mexican restaurant doesn't offer a spicy salsa🤔
Cool vibes and ambiance. Fish taco was good. Service was great!
Wife wanted to come here after an appt in Beverly hills. Looked like just a bar walking in, but you're greeted by a friendly host. Don't get nervous cuz it looks like just a bar, the food is pretty solid. The potatoes tacos are so delicious, mouth watering thinking about them. The ceviche tasted really fresh like it just came out of the ocean...... server was very friendly n worked really hard. Oh yeah the shrimp tacos were bomb too, give this place a try n you won't be disappointed
