J discovered this place earlier this year, and since then it's become a bit of a tradition any time one of us happens to go to LAX. I was in LA a few days this past week, and my sister and I went after she picked me up at the airport.
This 24 hour Mexican restaurant is best known for a dish called "Happy Oysters." This can best be described as mild, sweet, raw oysters topped with a Mexican style ceviche of fish and shrimp. Topped with some lime juice and Tabasco, this manages to be even better than plain raw oysters.
This is the grilled octoput plate. J said he had a great one last time, but mine was mixed. Some pieces were tender, some were hard, and overall the octopus didn't really have either a salty or a charcoal-grilled flavor. Everything was bland overall, including the rice and beans. The guacamole, however, was good. One thing about Los Angeles is Mexican food almost always comes with a generous portion of gree guacamole. San Francisco, when will you learn? Anyway, I'm sticking to happy oysters next time.
