Team in Eating #1: Chichen Itza

What: Chichen Itza Restaurant
Where: 2501 W. 6th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90057Reservations: (213) 380-0051 or info@chichenitzarestaurant.com
Price: Entrees = $11 to $18

We Say:

YEA!

Team in Eating found Chichen Itza to be a delightful place to enjoy Mexican cuisine that is outside of the traditional Mexican food we find on every corner. Forget tacos and burritos, here it's about the juicy and tender pollo or cochinita pibil. Next time I'm personally ordering the huevos motulenos.

We Also Say:

-Good for dates despite the sketchy MacArthur Park neighborhood. The restaurant itself is cozy and attractive inside.

-The music es muy bueno. A guitar trio serenade you from a corner of a restaurant and don't move around from table to table to distract you from eating.

-Free valet parking, but the night we were there only one valet was working. As a result, the flummoxed valet had a line of cars waiting for him. Audrey waited for over ten minutes to have her car valeted.

-Good service.

Overall Rating: 8 out of 10
