When I first heard that there was a new Mexican restaurant in Beverly Hills, immediately I imagined it to be an overpriced, watered down experience. Well, after sitting down for dinner at Taberna Mexicana I now know that this place not only turns out flavorful Mexican food punctuated with pleasant surprises, but it is also affordable, especially when you consider it's smack dab in the middle of the 90210. (And FYI, the daily $4 happy hour is the best deal in town.) I'm already planning my next visit.

UPDATE: Sadly, due to health issues concerning chef Gary Robins, MoKo has closed. It will reopen as Gyenari 2 (G2) on September 1, offering a "less expensive and more accessible option" with "all-you-can eat-Korean BBQ and a lively happy hour."
