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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Guelaguetza offers a vibrant dining experience with "out of this world mole" and authentic Oaxacan cuisine. Guests rave about the "great atmosphere" and the friendly, accommodating staff. Despite some noise complaints from live music, the delicious food, particularly the "best chicken mole," and the festive ambiance make it a must-visit.

    We had a company dinner (for 6 people) here last night and everything about it was wonderful. Amazing service by the bartender for those who came early and waited there; also from our waitress at the table once we were seated. The food was absolutely delicious. There is a fun vibe and atmosphere here. We will be back!!

    I was looking for something cultural and delicious, and I’m always hesitant to choose a Mexican restaurant because nothing ever tastes authentic—but this place really hit the spot. It was amazing! The live music was the cherry on top. The food was incredible—the café de olla was perfect, the mole was outstanding, and the homemade tortillas made me feel like I had traveled to Mexico. If I had to complain about one thing, it would be that the champurrado tasted a bit watered down. But they did mention it was dairy-free, so I understand. I really hope they keep the live music because it made the ambience so much better. I totally recommend this place!

    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.
