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.

Gorgeous restaurant, friendly service. Food was well prepared and unique. Overpriced, but par for the course given it is a roof top restaurant.

Good as usual, Happy Hour times are unclear, leading to half our check being HH and half not, which was confusing. Plates feel lighter than before, rice was really dry. Overall one of my less impressive visits.

The reservations were down but they welcomed us in. It wasn’t busy plenty of space. Our waitress was awesome and the other servers as well. As they came by to serve very helpful with our questions. We will be back. I was really hoping that Danny Trejo would have been there. But it’s okay we’ll be back awesome food awesome service thanks again.
