We were looking for something a little more low key and since we were in LA we were hoping to get some tasty Mexican food (unlike our failed attempt last trip down here). I found this place not too far from our hotel with open reservations and more importantly it was founded by Enrique Olvera of Pujol in CDMX and Criollo in Oaxaca, both of which we loved.
