Business Summary what's this?
For two star Mexican, try Señor Fred in Sherman Oaks. This is a moderately priced restaurant. It's been awarded the 10 Best LA Mexican award. Know before you go: this place features outdoor dining. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a romantic atmosphere. This place features a full bar and valet parking. This restaurant is good for groups. The service is terrible.
4.0 of 5 stars.
Great outdoor patio.

Senor Fred makes a mean cadillac margarita. It's pretty much my favorite margarita anywhere. Ever. But the favorites don't stop there... The tacos, enchiladas and carne are all just as mouthwatering....
