Guelaguetza

Description

Summary: A taste of Oaxaca with live music and moles.

Guelaguetza offers a vibrant slice of Oaxaca in Koreatown, where live music enhances the dining experience. The Lopez family has preserved the restaurant's legacy, offering a marketplace at the entrance and a Mezcaleria bar. The menu features traditional Oaxacan dishes such as chiles rellenos, tamales, and the not-to-be-missed mole negro. The décor is as lively as the atmosphere, with a bright orange façade and green accents. The restaurant's love for mole is evident, even in its web address, and the sauce is indeed a highlight, especially the negro and rojo varieties. Guests can start with an ensalada de nopalitos or molotes, and for drinks, there's an impressive selection of tequilas and mezcals. The Pasión de Oaxaca cocktail is a must-try, and the Micheladas are a crowd favorite. Whether it's for the Oaxacan breakfast, the tlayudas, enchiladas, pozole, or the mole estofado, Guelaguetza delivers an authentic and delightful culinary experience.
