Info About Lanea:
This quote is from the Santa Monica Daily Press by Clara Harter, published on Jan 29, 2021:
"Lanea [is] a taco bar serving authentic family recipes from Puebla Mexico and what the owners claim are the best spicy margaritas in all of Santa Monica. ... Lanea was created in July 2019 by local restaurateur Peter Trinh and taco chef extraordinaire Petra Zavaleta…Lanea offers over 400 hand-selected mezcals and tequilas and sells thousands of tacos per week. ... Top-selling tacos include the legendary lamb barbacoa, carne asada, pollo, pescado con mango, and camaron con mango, which are all seasoned with Zavaleta’s distinctive spices. Lanea’s craft cocktails are flavored with inventive recipes curated by bar directors John Neumueller and Connor McRaith. The margarita is sweetened with a unique dry Curacao and has much less sugar than a typical margarita."
