Santa Monica's Mexican garden restaurant — margaritas under string lights, wood-fired dishes, and the most romantic patio on the Westside
Tallula's sits in a canyon just above Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica and manages to be the exact restaurant this neighborhood needs: a wood-fired Mexican kitchen with one of the most beautiful outdoor patios in Los Angeles. String lights through eucalyptus trees, margaritas made with fresh citrus, and a menu that takes the California proximity to Mexico seriously without losing the sense of occasion. The carnitas are cooked low and slow until collapsing and served with warm tortillas and a rotating salsa. The mole enchiladas demonstrate that mole is worth the time it takes. Weekend brunch with a prickly pear margarita is one of the most pleasant ways to spend a Saturday on the Westside.
