El Carmen
Los Angeles’ preeminent tequila purveyor, El Carmen showcases a spectrum of over 400 agave-based nectars, from Patrón to Chicicapa. Mirroring the authenticity of its spirits and Mexican fare, the high-flying luchadores, harlequin lights, and vintage movie posters that line the restaurant’s walls ignite a festive atmosphere.
On February 11, El Carmen’s highly anticipated tasting event will play host to some of the world’s top authorities and mixologists as well as ambassadors from a dozen labels including Peligroso and Clase Azul. With tastings, classic appetizers, and intoxicating energy, this exclusive affair beguiles both connoisseurs and casual sippers.
