"A family-run, James Beard America’s Classics Award-winning Koreatown restaurant founded by Oaxacan immigrants who began by selling tlayudas, cheese, mole, mezcal and other staples door-to-door. Its origin story—selling goods from the trunk of a car and later filling backpacks with regional ingredients when traveling—shaped a menu and identity rooted in Oaxacan tradition; the next generation now runs the operation and continues to serve community staples like tlayudas, Oaxacan cheese, mole, bread and chile de agua." - Cynthia Rebolledo
