El Compadre

A West Hollywood classic since 1975, El Compadre is famous for its theatrical flaming margaritas served tableside and for nachos loaded with a proprietary queso sauce, shredded cheese, and pickled jalapenos that arrive sizzling and shareable. The festive dark-wood dining room has maintained its neighborhood institution status through decades of changing LA food trends. Order the nachos with carne asada and a flaming margarita.
