by Kaitlin W. on Let's get one thing correct about me- I LOVE to dance dance dance dance! I am not a club hopping type of gal however when the opportunity is propositioned to me- I cave. The Griffin was visited on one of those nights. Good music, not too crowded were the pros. The cons begin with the amount of creepy guys (cue thick eastern European accent and unwanted manhandling) and bridge and tunnel girls there for an 18th bday- or so it looked like. Overall I had a good time dancing with my friends and drinking a lot of champagne. 1 star- They played a good mix of hip hop AND house, 2 stars- Not too crowded which is always a problem- enough room to dance and sit if your footsies need a rest. 3 stars- Eh- I'm feeling good about life! Also the chandeliers were stunning!
by Jonas Furne on I had lunch here recently with a small group. It was my first visit to Mexican Village in nearly ten years. This was never a favorite place of mine. It is even less so now. I ordered a Chile Colorado burrito which was undersized and dreadfully bland. A friend ordered arroz con pollo and had to search to find the chicken, which appeared to be shredded for some reason. With the wealth of fantastic Mexican restaurants in LA to choose from, there is little reason to settle for this place. Sorry, but I'd say it's no better than your neighborhood Acapulco Restaurant.
