Most weeknights, the Santa Monica outpost of La Serenata, the "other" Mexican restaurant on 4th Street in Santa Monica, resonates with a post-tequila calm that pales next to the constant laugh track and cocktail shaker buzz at Border Grill across the street (even if not quite the same buzz as the new downtown location). But we mean that in a good, soothing fish tank sort of way.

Which is exactly what makes its weeknight Happy Hour such a rare commodity for a restaurant adjacent to the tourist-laden Promenade. That, and the fact that the Happy Hour was added begrudgingly to the menu last fall by the former chef-owner, Jose "Pepe" Rodriguez, who passed away late last year (his wife and son now run the restaurant). A man who was respected for so much more than his well-regarded restaurants.
