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.

    The finest Oaxacan meal I’ve ever had and one of the finest meals I’ve ever had period. Treat yourself to the Festival de Moles.

    I’d never had Oaxacan food before — it was very good and the service was great. Not everyone in the party liked mole, but almost everyone found something they liked — even the kids. I will definitely return. To try another dish.

    The atmosphere was energetic and vibrant, with live music adding a great touch to the evening. Our server was incredibly patient and accommodating, especially since we had a large party. Despite being very busy, they never once rushed us and let us enjoy our time there for several hours. The service was top-notch, and the food was delicious. You must try the red and black mole and the seafood soup! I highly recommend making reservations in advance, as it can get quite crowded. Definitely a must-visit for anyone looking for great food and a lively dining experience!

    The food was good my reservation was at 12 noon got there a few minutes early the restaurant was not busy and the food came out very slow. My only complaint is Why don’t they have regular menus???? Who wants to come to a sit down restaurant and have to scan the menu to me this does not look good this is a Big mistake.
