Ka'teen

Hidden behind a foliage-lined entrance off Selma, Ka’teen opens into a lantern-lit jungle courtyard that feels far from the bustle of Hollywood Boulevard. Chef Wes Avila’s Yucatán-inspired plates, from cochinita pibil to whole grilled branzino, pair with mezcal-heavy cocktails and a club-adjacent soundtrack. It’s built for scene-y dinners where food and atmosphere share top billing.
Must-Try Dishes:
Cochinita pibil, Whole grilled branzino, Charred street corn or papas
What Makes it Special: A lush, Tulum-style courtyard with Yucatán cooking and party-ready cocktails.

Trejo’s Cantina brings Danny Trejo’s playful take on tacos, bowls, and margaritas to a lively corner of Cahuenga. The menu leans toward healthier-leaning Mexican with vegan options, while the space functions as a buzzy hangout for pre-bar hops and casual meetups. It’s less chef-driven than some neighbors, but the branding, music, and crowd keep it feeling current.
Must-Try Dishes:
Carnitas taco or street tacos trio, Cauliflower or jackfruit taco, Trejo’s nachos
What Makes it Special: A celebrity-backed cantina with colorful tacos, margaritas, and a lively soundtrack.

Must-Try Dishes:
Kluckin tacos, Chopped tender quesadilla, Mini wings with Kluckin sauce
What Makes it Special: Nashville-hot chicken tacos that hit like a guilty pleasure.
