El Compadre is an embarrasement. We returned all of our dishes we ordered. El Coyote is trendy, but once again, "americanized" versions of it. Lucy's El Adobe once again, does not have the authentic mexican flavor. Havent visited Gardens of Taxco, but Taxco is a town in Guerrero (Western state in Mexico) so I wonder if theyre menu sticks to the local area of Mexico. A rule of thumb should be this: If the Mexican restaurant youre dining at does NOt offer fresh Mexican fruit drinks ( tamarind, watermelon, horchata), most likely they are not original mexican food. Now, if you re in the downtown area "Guelaguetza" restaurant (3014 W Olympic Blvd) is the place to go. Buen Provecho!
Stuffed Zucchini, Spare Ribs in Salsa Verde, Carnitas in Orange Sauce, Spinach Tamales, Chiles en Nogada, Vegetarian Blue Corn Tamales are among my favorite dishes that i have not seen duplicated at any Mexican restaurant from San Diego to Santa Barbara. Antonio imports his own 100% Agave tequilas as well as having a huge selection of commercially available tequilas. He has an extensive wine cellar that would rival the finest French restaurant. It is family run and their hospitality is seconded to none. I have had the privilege of eating in some of the world best restaurants in LA, San Francisco, New York, Denver London, Rome, Tokyo and then some. If you can’t tell by now, Antonio’s on Melrose is not only my favorite Mexican restaurant, it is among my top ten restaurants of my entire restaurant dining experience. If you haven't tried Antonio's you must !
