Mexican Food in Little Tokyo

Our good friend J came and visited us a couple days ago on his way to Japan and Singapore. I was bummed that I couldn't hang out with J as much as I wanted to because it also happened to be the same time as my big annual conference (American Lodging Investment Summit, aka ALIS), but he was a sport and did some exploring of LA with some of his local friends. One of J's requests was to get good Mexican food. After picking him up from the airport, we headed straight to my favorite taco/burrito spot the lovely El Burrito Junior. I'm not sure if I've talked about it before, but it’s a great chain with a couple locations in LA. My favorite one is a walk-up window on Pacific Coast Highway in Redondo Beach. And I'm happy to report that his spot did not disappoint! Great affordable food as usual :) Our next venture in finding good Mexican food was a spot J found after watching Anthony Bourdain's "Layover" show on the Travel Channel. It is a restaurant/bar called Senor Fish and is in the heart of Little Tokyo. Not sure why a Mexican restaurant would be in Little Tokyo in the first place, but it was an awesome spot! We had amazing fish tacos, Ensenada style, and some yummy mole empanadas too! Pretty quiet while we were there on a Tuesday night, but I could picture it as a happening late night spot on the weekends too. I took J to the airport on Wednesday morning for his trip to Asia and he felt we had successfully satiated his cravings for Mexican food to hold him over for at least a little while.
