        La Serenata de Garibaldi - 1416 Fourth St.. Santa Monica, CA 90401
        or
        Tlapazola Grill - 11676 Gateway Blvd. (Barrington Ave.) West LA, CA 90064

        Both very good Mexico City style places.

          Monte Alban in WLA just east of the Santa Monica border on Santa Monica Blvd.

            Second and third this. I love this place. I actually prefer their red mole over the black.

              Have you tried Juquila too? It's also quite good. I love having breakfast there once in a while. It's just a bit farther east on the same side of SM Blvd. (across from the car wash at Federal IIRC).
