They might not be around much longer... the For Sale sign is looming, but in the meantime, the happy hour is pretty good and the food is tasty. I had the nachos with beef (tender steak!)

Happy four from 5-9 is fantastic. House margaritas mixed with chicken and potato tacos is the way to go!!

Killer table salsa and excellent Mexican food. I really dig the dark interior and trippy, psychedelic neon sombreros on the roof next to the bar. A classic.

El Chavo is my fave place to duck in & have a margarita, ‘guac’ & chips. Sitting at the bar is great, especially when there’s an acoustic guitarist performing. Read more

In 1789 Governor Pedro Fages granted 6647 acres to Jose Vicente Feliz as a reward for his service in the early governments of Los Angeles and San Diego. This rich land became the Rancho Los Feliz.

Drinking in one of the best happy hours in LA tonight & every wednesday night. Try the scratch margarita & the green corn tamale.

Tacos served straight to the bar, what else do you want.

Word to the wise: Don't mention the Dolly Parton portrait behind the bar. The Airborne Toxic Event asked about it and the bartender responded: "Don't you talk sh*t about Dolly."

If you don't want sweet sweet tiki cocktails, then take a few extra steps to this place. Food is so so, but the complimentary chips are better than a kick in the balls. Cheers!

Food is mediocre and a bit overpriced on some items. But margaritas are damn good like the mango with spicy rim. Apparently it's Dolly Parton's favorite Mexican shot. She must not get out much.

I want to like El Chavo, but the loud dining room and the somewhat boring Mexican food keeps disappointing me. The margaritas, however, are good.

The salsa is spiiiiicy and delicious.
Karl HobartMay 14, 2011
For a similar vibe with better food, I recommend Casita del Campo on Hyperion.

Sneak into El Chavo and steal a bottle of tequila. But you know, wait til it's closed..

Scratch margs aren't bad. Also, hit it during happy hour.
