Why You’ll Love It
El Carmen, where cozy and moody vibes set the perfect backdrop for catching up with friends. With over 300 types of tequila, you'll have a hard time finding a bad margarita (not that you'd want to) in this spot that pays homage to the rich culture of Mexican wrestling. Whether you're starting your night here or making it a second location, it's the ideal destination for a fun evening out. Originally opened in 1927 by Encarnacion Elias Gomez, the establishment stayed in the family until it was sold to Sean MacPherson, who spent his summers in Guadalajara working at his grandmother's school for blind girls. His deep connection to the history of El Carmen and his heritage make for a beautiful match in culinary heaven.
