"A meal at Guelaguetza, a Koreatown institution for Oaxacan cooking, usually involves multiple types of mole, tlayudas, big plates of meat, and a healthy amount of mezcal (all of it shared, ideally). With its massive space and live music, this is a great spot for a big group dinner or for entertaining out-of-towners with a full-on feast. There are several family-style sampler platters on the menu which are a good bet, but if had to spotlight one dish, get the queso fundido—it’ll ruin every other queso you’ve ever had."

"Guelaguetza Cibo oaxacano a K Town? Proprio così, e non perdetevi questi deliziosi bocconcini. Koreatown è conosciuta per tutto ciò che riguarda il vivace paese del Nord-Est asiatico, ma ospita anche una grande comunità oaxacana ed è quindi il luogo in cui si possono trovare alcune delle migliori e più autentiche specialità oaxacane di Los Angeles. La storia narra che gli oaxacani, provenienti soprattutto dalla Sierra Juárez, emigrassero a Los Angeles in cerca di una vita migliore e si stabilissero a Koreatown e Mid-City. Negli anni ’90 si è assistito a un boom delle migrazioni e più o meno in quel periodo il VIP Palace, un ristorante costruito dall’uomo d’affari coreano-americano Hi Duk Lee, fu venduto all’oaxacano Fernando Lopez. Egli mantenne l’esterno e la facciata dell’edificio, conservandone i ricchi dipinti e le tegole, ma ne trasformò l’interno nell’attuale celebre ristorante Guelaguetza, che serve piatti di qualità, come il suo squisito mole oaxacano. New York sarà anche nota come la città che non dorme mai, ma Koreatown a Los Angeles può facilmente fare la concorrenza alla sua mentalità ‘sempre attiva, 24 ore al giorno’. In un’area di circa 8 kmq che tocca la periferia di Downtown e Hollywood, questa zona era un tempo il cuore e l’anima dell’Età d’Oro di Hollywood, quando gli Academy Awards si svolgeva no all’Ambassador Hotel (tra il 1930 e il 1943) e le celebrità banchettavano al ristorante Brown Derby. Oggi Koreatown è molto lontana dall’Età d’Oro, e noi riteniamo che sia molto meglio così. Venendo qui sembra di aver lasciato Los Angeles e di essere entrati in una vivace città della Corea del Sud. Qui si trovano diversi centri commerciali, in particolare il KTP (Koreatown Plaza), con un’infinità di negozi e un’area ristorazione che vende autentico ed economico street food coreano. La zona è costituita per lo più di comunità coreane e latinoamericane, queste ultime provenienti in particolare dall’Oaxaca. Potrete gustare alcuni dei mole migliori della città da Guelaguetza, mentre è risaputo che a K Town si trova la maggiore concentrazione di locali notturni, attività commerciali e ristoranti aperti 24 ore su 24, e karaoke bar del paese. Quindi, cosa state aspettando?"

"mole oaxaca The standard bearer of Oaxacan cuisine in America, owned by siblings Bricia, Fernando Jr., Paulina, and Elizabeth Lopez, Guelaguetza is a James Beard American Classic award-winning destination for mezcal, mole, and grasshoppers. The key to its success and longevity has been its uncompromising presentation of traditional Oaxacan cuisine augmented by an active marketing game. It’s the only authentic Oaxacan restaurant in the U.S. modeled after the greats in Oaxaca City like La Teca, La Biznaga, and Los Danzantes. At these spots, customers wash down tasty moles with world-class mezcales. There’s also especially fragrant estofado, a mole accented with green olives and hints of fresh herbs — tlayudas, and memelas topped with a smear of asiento (unrefined lard) and silky, refried black beans. 3014 W Olympic Blvd, Harvard Heights, 213-427-0608, ilovemole.com Guelaguetza's horchata de Oaxaca, the most famous agua fresca in Los Angeles "

"#98 Guelaguetza is the spiritual home of Oaxacan cooking in Los Angeles, a restaurant that preaches the gospel of mole. On any given weekend, its cavernous Koreatown dining room is a welter of live music, futbol watch parties and michelada-soaked Mexican brunches. Start with an order of the chapulines, fried grasshoppers crisped in olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. Or try one of the restaurant’s terrific, pizza-sized tlayudas, gilded with toppings like chorizo, scrambled eggs, epazote leaves and queso fresco. The essential order is the festival de moles, a sampler furnished with a smoke-tinged coloradito variety; the fiery rojo mole; the bold estofado; and the most enigmatic mole of them all, the mole negro. It has a bitter edge that lands like a shock to the tongue. Things have changed from the days when Guelaguetza occupied a tiny dining room with a scattering of travel posters on the walls. There is a lobby gift shop, and a valet stand in the parking lot directing traffic. A cookbook is now available. But that mole negro — it still makes the little hairs on your arm stand at attention. Full bar. Valet parking. Credit cards accepted."
