Bar Ama

cocktail·$$·Downtown LA

Tex-Mex cantina with exceptional mezcal and tequila selection; margaritas, tacos, and downtown energy.

Insider Intel

Order This

The mezcal selection is serious - ask for guidance. Margaritas are excellent. The queso fundido and beef cheek tacos. Josef Centeno knows what he's doing.

Best Time

Happy hour for deals. Evening for the full downtown cantina energy. Lunch is more mellow.
