Casa Madera

Casa Madera is a massive, clubby “Tulum-inspired” restaurant on the Sunset Strip, hailing from one of the world’s great epicenters of Yucatan culture… Toronto. Jokes aside, this place is totally serviceable, and if you’re looking to put on a risque outfit and get a little wild with friends on a Friday night, it’s great. Serving as the ground-floor restaurant of  The Mondrian, Casa Madera’s patio is undeniably beautiful with white wood accents, hanging flowers, and very impressive views of the city. The food is fairly average clubstaurant-type food (save for a flavorless burger, which is just plain bad), so we recommend keeping it simple and sticking to ceviches and tacos. And then load up on the real reason you’re probably here: margaritas. Which thankfully are quite good.
