"Reborn in Downtown Los Angeles the day after Bar Amá quietly closed on December 19, this restaurant from chef Josef Centeno is described as a mashup of Bar Amá, Bäco Mercat, and Takoria, with eight dishes from each of the three concepts on the menu. The new format offers a fresh chance for fans of Bäco Mercat, the locally loved restaurant that closed in mid-2020, to once again enjoy its dishes in a combined setting with Centeno’s other celebrated spots." - Mona Holmes
