Iconic Oaxacan Food in LA

For more than 20 years, Guelaguetza has been a stalwart in Los Angeles’ robust Mexican restaurant scene. From mole to mezcal, they serve some of the best Oaxacan specialties in the United States. Be sure to try their signature mole negro, served either with chicken and hand-made fresh tortillas, layered in their tlayudas (a giant Oaxacan-style pizza with queso fresco), or on the banana leaf-wrapped tamales. Better yet, go with a crowd and order the shareable tasting plates, or botana, piled with fried masa cakes, white Oaxacan cheese, empanadas, pork ribs and chile rellenos. The Koreatown restaurant hosts live music and a raucous crowd nightly, fueled by the lengthy list of mezcal and chile-infused micheladas.
