Guelaguetza
About
Guelaguetza, opened in 1994 by an Oaxacan immigrant family on Olympic Blvd in K-Town, is considered America's flagship for Oaxacan food and won a James Beard America's Classics award. People come for the moles (black mole above all), tlayudas and mezcal, often with live music on weekends.
Jasmine says
America's beacon of Oaxacan cooking: a four-mole sampler with live music on weekends.
