"Brunch at Cha Cha Cha in the Arts District will make you feel like an extra in a sun-soaked travel ad by LA's tourism board. Their menu highlights Mexican dishes like chorizo eggs in purgatory and a sope benedict, but the real draw is the rooftop dining space filled with palm groves. On your way to your outdoor table, you’ll catch glimpses of the Downtown skyline and remember how badly you need a tropical vacation. Bring a group for a fun birthday or sit at the bar with a good book and some smoky, crunchy chilaquiles." - brant cox, sylvio martins
