A Michelada can simply be described as a Mexican cocktail made from tomato juice, beer and spices. When made well, is one of the most refreshing and bracingly flavorful summer beer drinks out there. Monday, July 12 is Naitonal Michelada Day and I’ve gathered places around LA that serve a mean michelada.

Fiesta Martin
The Martin family has been serving delicious food and drinks (like this michelada) for nearly ten years. They cook all their chips fresh, so they always served warm. The best part is that their margaritas are strong.
