Our family was born in Oaxaca and migrated to the US in 1994. Ever since then, our goal has been to showcase not only our family recipes, but also the hard work and dedication that goes into each of them. Each year, we travel to Oaxaca, and hand pick our ingredients, and carefully select the people we partner with. Guelaguetza is a restaurant, boutique market, and advocates for Oaxacan culture located in the heart of Korea-town in Los Angeles. Our motivation behind our products is simple: uncompromising quality. The products found in our store have taken years of development, and we hope that when taking your first taste of our Mole, or your first sip of our Michelada, you are transported into what Oaxaca means to us...a true Guelaguetza.

The cheeseburgers were, as promised, delicious. Thick and juicy, and served with hot, perfectly crisp French fries. Service was prompt and professional. A member of the hotel staff (perhaps a restaurant manager) provided exceptional personalized service when we had a special request. I would happily stay at the Omni LA and dine at Noe Bar again.
