"Open since 2011 in the original Gualeguetza space, Sabores Oaxaqueños is a Los Angeles legend. The restaurant comes from brothers brothers Germán Valentín Granja, who both worked at Gualeguetza before striking out on their own. In the process, they convinced Gualeguetza’s chef de cuisine Dominga Velasco Rodriguez Velasco to join. People from all over the city flock to Koreatown to order Sabores Oaxaqueños’s tlayudas, topped with asiento spread, black bean pasta, cheese, and a choice of meats. Other standout dishes include memelas made with thick corn tortillas, goat barbacoa, and empanadas with quesillo or huitlacoche. If dining it, make sure to order one of the restaurant’s famous (and very strong) margaritas. Whille parking in Koreatown tends to be tricky, Sabores Oaxaqueños has recently expanded with a second location at the edge of Hollywood." - Rebecca Roland
