This was my first experience at El Segundo. The hostess Gabby was warm، friendly and efficient. She politely informed us that there was a 30 minute wait but that she would work on getting tables cleaned up so she could seat us as quickly as possible. She came back after a few minutes to let us know that she was working on getting our wait time down and wanted to make sure we were comfortably seated during our wait. She got the wait time down to 17 minutes and she came to seat us and took our drink order right away and asked if we would like to put and order in since we had to wait. The food came out quickly and it was delicious. We had the burned tips taco 🌮 and the mole wings to start. We then tried all the tacos and I had a Mexican coca cola and my husband had a Margherita. While we were dining، we were told since it was taco Tuesday، the tacos were $3 and the Margheritas were $5 the bartender made the drink from scratch and my husband was given the option of salt، sugar or tajin on the rim. We were blown away and understand why there was a line out the door. The atmosphere was very hip and there all ages and demographics in the room. It's a dog friendly restaurant. It reminded me of a hip Texas roadhouse. Art on the walls، subdued light and a big screen TV over the bar. There's an outdoor area and even though it was packed، it didn't feel claustrophobic. Our favorite taco is the el big Mac. A smashed beef patty with cheese served on top of a flattened sesame seed bun. Sadly، we ate more than we thought and had no space for dessert so we didn't try the churro or the tree leches so I guess we will have to go back!
