Village Tavern Restaurant Review: Popular with locals in suddenly trendy Atwater Village is Village Tavern, featuring barbecue dishes that combine Mexican and American traditions: pulled pork tacos, barbecued chicken quesadillas and smoked brisket burritos. Also available are beer-battered avocado fries and jalapeƱo rings to pair with burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches or wings. About a dozen craft beers rotate on tap, along with 50 in bottles and cans. For dessert, the kitchen turns out a very respectable flan. The place is homey and boho-chic, just like the neighborhood. |
