The 18 Essential Sit-Down Mexican Restaurants in LA

"It’s easy to get lost in the Mexican food wonderland of Mercado González. Certainly spend an hour or so perusing the puestos and nibbling on choice morsels, but eventually head to Maizano for a proper sit-down meal. As the only full-service experience in the sprawling emporium, Maizano serves regional plates from the Mexican states of Yucatán, Puebla, and Oaxaca, focusing on the magic of masa. Every dish under chef Alan Sanz’s watch is thoughtfully composed and highly shareable, including the chicharron del parque with blue fin tuna and the silky mole blanco with broccolini, chayote, and sprinkling of grasshoppers." - Eater Staff
