4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: August 29 | Eater LA

"“My mind still hums from the recent (deeply needed) getaway I had in Ojai, California. For the long weekend, I highly recommend a trip up to the mountain town, which has seen something of a restaurant boom in the last three years. Our first stop after arriving at the hotel was a sleek hi-fi hideaway tucked behind the main facade of an Ojai massage parlor. This is Radio Roma, a mezcal bar and taquería that seems to take influences from Mexico City, the Oaxaca region, and even the listening bars of Tokyo, Japan. Music floats from a vintage Klipsch sound system while tacos, like a superlative lamb carnitas rendition with crispy edges, fly out from the kitchen. The mezcal list runs just deep enough, although you may start with something simple like a sipper of Madre from the Oaxacan hills of San Dionisio and Miahuatlan. The ranch water, here made with mezcal and jamaica, will be a nice palate cleanser between bites of tacos, ceviche, and tostada de atún. This is a great spot to start or end the night, though know that it gets busier — its crowd spilling out into the small patio that foregrounds it — as the hours get later.”" - Eater Staff
