Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: February 10 | Eater LA

"Rebecca Roland (editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest) sought creature comforts in oxtails and patacones at a low-key Mid-City Caribbean and Panamanian spot. The oxtails were tender enough to forgo a knife, the patacones were just the right amount of salty and crispy, and it was the comforting bowl of sancocho that captured her heart: "Squash and corn were stewed down with tender pieces of chicken until soft. A squeeze of lime over the top amplified the flavors of the stew, adding a contrasting acidity. The bowl came out hot, but I could barely wait to dig in, watching steam roll off the top as the scent of the soup filled the room." - Eater Staff
