Guelaguetza is one of the first places to put Oaxacan cuisine on the Angeleno gastro-map. With its vibrant colors and homespun service, Guelaguetza has a mole for every tastebud, and two of the best-loved are the salted beef in black mole and the red mole enchiladas. While mole is the twinkle in Oaxacan cooking, you should also venture to try the other potent dishes like the grasshopper cooked in a spicy red sauce, the pork side ribs and the grilled cactus steak. It’s a nice family spot that has a kid’s menu (complete with a cartoon grasshopper waving hello) and an array of desserts (creamy flan) and hot drinks so rich they make your average hot cocoa look like warm milk. However, there’s no alcohol, so if you must have a margarita with your pollo en mole, then head to the Guelaguetza location on Olympic.
