Guelaguetza Restaurant Los Angeles

Guelaguetza is a Los Angeles institution celebrating the food and culture of Oaxaca, Mexico, founded by the López family in 1994 and now recognized as one of the most authentic and important Mexican restaurants in the United States. Located in Koreatown, the restaurant is famous for its mole negro — a complex sauce made from dozens of dried chiles, chocolate, and toasted spices that simmers for days. Tlayudas, memelas, and mezcal-focused cocktails round out a menu that earns annual awards and a deeply loyal local following. The restaurant also hosts live Oaxacan music and traditional dance on weekends.
