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.

    I’ve been wanting to go to this restaurant for a few years. I was in LA this week on business and decided to try it out with a couple of my colleagues. It was outstanding. Excellent food and very authentic. You cannot go wrong. It wasn’t an LA “scene.” Great service, valet parking, and incredible mole. Appetizers were also outstanding and there is something for everyone. I had the Coloradito mole enchiladas. Exceptional.

    Tepid and under seasoned food. Guacamole was mushy and liquified. Meats over cooked, dried out and not hot. Piece of plastic in my food. Server was lovely, but phone or tablet only menus for this type of restaurant is silly and annoying. Tacos de Barbacoa were very good, so was fundido.

    Shrinkflation has hit this restaurant hard. Rice and beans are now a la carte with a $20+ plate, plate sizes have definitely gotten smaller, and a lot more filler (onions/cucumbers) in dishes. Used to be a great spot at a reasonable price, but now overpriced for what you get.

    I didn't know a restaurant charged extra for rice and beans on an entrée. Disappointing

    This was my second time coming to Guelaguetza. I never make any reviews on the restaurants I go to. However, the food was not good my second time. It felt as if they bury added any meat to the food. The food was not hot when it came out. Spent over $227 including tip. I don’t think I will ever come back. There’s other better Oaxacan restaurants in LA. I feel like it didn’t meet my expectations as a person who was returning. Hopefully they improve their food management.
