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.

Food was fabulous! Service was a little slow but they were friendly so I could live with it. Will definitely go back. The NY steak alone is phenomenal! But the desserts were chefs kiss.

What an absolute delight to have this hidden secret rooftop restaurant so close to the Pantages!! The bougie chips lived up to their name and were the bomb! We shared the Lemon pasta which we didn’t understand. There was zero lemon taste and instead was all turmeric. It was definitely a shock to our mouth when we were expecting a sweet lemony pasta. It was good but not what we wanted when we ordered Lemon pasta . Every plate that passed looked more delicious than the next. Can’t wait for our next Pantages night to come back!! Love the vibe!!

Great American café style comfort food. Unfortunately, we were the only customers in the restaurant at 8 PM on a Saturday night. Also, the risotto was too garlicky. Other than that, everything was great.
