About this restaurant

ALMA is a Mexican restaurant that celebrates Mexico’s rich culinary history by incorporating authentic ingredients and cooking techniques into its menu, while making modern modifications to delight Angelenos.

A unique two-story concept, the ground floor of ALMA is comprised of a walk-up taqueria and marketplace, which sells imported Mexican novelties and fresh ingredients, such as hand-pressed tortillas from ALMA’s kitchen. The fine-dining restaurant, located on ALMA’s second floor, serves authentic Mexican cuisine served with a Southern California twist.

Grupo Hunan's first venture outside of Mexico, inspired by Baja California's raw, coastal landscape, sun-kissed flora, and vibrant food culture. Grupo Hunan has been a mainstay of the Mexican restaurant scene for 30+ years, satisfying all the senses.

For us, being together is the way of life. We invite you and yours to come in, share some platillos, clink some glasses, and -most importantly- ENJOY the mexican culinary experience.

Just don’t go. It’s the first time I’ve ever sent a margarita back, and the restaurant doesn’t give you enough time to finish your appetizer before the main course is served. It’s also very noisy, making it difficult to have a conversation. Overall, it wasn’t a great dining experience.

I really wanted to love this place—the location and ambiance are fantastic. Unfortunately, the food was ice cold and just average in taste. I wouldn’t return for a meal, but I might stop by for a drink.

as many have stated, the prices are a little bit or more than a little bit outrageous, likely the place is not doing well because the beautifully decorated upstairs is now closed on weekdays, only open weekends--supposedly. Service by Maximo Alejandro was outstanding, as other reviewers have mentioned, of note for us the food was remarkably delicious, the mole was outstanding and delicate, the enchiladas light and delicious, very untexmexlike in their crafty gourmet style, however, I wouldn't be surprised if the place was gone in a year....
