"From chicken enchiladas to a grilled fajita bowl, the bar food at Semi-Tropic is much more substantial than most other cocktail spots in Echo Park. And since nothing on the menu costs more than $15, you can get a bite and a drink without feeling like your credit card might decline. The kitchen here stays open until midnight on weekends, so take advantage of this fact the next time you need sustenance after shutting down the dancefloor at Los Globos. " - Nikko Duren
