Oh, Down in Mexico

Pinches Tacos

Wanna dance?

One, two, cha cha cha.

Oh, speaking of cha cha cha, the Anaya bros have opened Pinches Tacos on the edge of the Sunset Strip.

Using super-fresh, high-quality ingredients, they make everything from scratch — even the tortillas — under the watchful eye of their dad, Miguel Sr. (a long-time vet of The Ivy), according to recipes passed down through generations of family and friends from Guadalajara and Jalisco. Don’t miss the al pastor pork, carnitas, adobada, or the chicken mole made as it was 114 years ago. Muy delicioso.

Open from 11 a.m. until 4 in the morning, the spot is decked out inside with vintage Mexican posters and crafts and set up outside so you can eat on the patio and get six -packs delivered from the liquor store across the street.

Talk about good moves.

Pinches Tacos, 8200 Sunset Boulevard, at Havenhurst Drive, West Hollywood (323-650-0614 or pinchestacos.com).
