On the Westside, three outstanding choices:
The Talpa on Pico & Barrington for rustic, tasty fare in a no frills divey sort of atmosphere. Great thick crunchy crispy chips and table salsa that packs quite a kick. The pork in spicy tomatillo sauce is to die for and can be had either in a burrito or as an entree. Great guac, as well. No liquor license, so only beer and wine and agave wine margaritas.
Lares on Pico near 34th - superb sit down Mexican food, good margaritas. The vibe upstairs is a little more high end than the dungeony feel of downstairs.
La Serenta di Garibaldi on 4th between Broadway & Santa Monica near the promenade serves up delish Mexican seafood that come with a wide choice of sauces.

Re: Lares -- I swear in all the times I've visited I didn't even *know* they had an upstairs. Color me inattentive.

Sauce,
Lares has always had an upstairs, but a few years ago there was a fire in the upstairs kitchen that closed the place for many months.
That said, the ambience is much nicer upstairs, although you can expect a long wait for a table, particularly on weekend evenings.
