El Floridita, in Hollywood - http://www.elfloridita.com - I'm listing it first because 'Floriditas' is most famous on Monday nights, when you better show up early or you'll have to stand outside in line.  This restaurant/club is also great on 'Cuban' Fridays [my favorite], as well as Saturdays.  The place is small, not exactly cheap if you go for dinner, but the food is good, and the 'mojitos' are great.  If you skip dinner and go for entertainment only, the cover charge is $10.  Parking is tricky unless you valet... [but not impossible... heh]
