"Arguably the best-known Oaxacan restaurant in LA, if not anywhere outside of Mexico, Guelaguetza could be described as the house that mole built (their website is literally ilovemole.com ). This Koreatown spot features a gift shop, mezcal flights, and a lengthy Oaxacan menu that covers a lot of ground, from banana-leaf tamales and enmoladas doused in smoky mole negro to soft memelas topped with quesillo. Guelaguetza is also a great place to take big groups and out-of-towners because there are always enough tables in its big dining room, plus live music most nights. " - Sylvio Martins
