"The Grove seems like an unlikely place to find well-excused modern Mexican food, but Alma is a surprise in all the best ways. Mexico City’s Grupo Hunan took over the former Dominique Ansel space in the heart of one of Los Angeles’s most touristy locations, opening a destinations for pan-regional Mexican dishes like carnitas tacos, queso fundido, flautas, and enchiladas. Head over on the weekends for a brunch offering dishes like huevos rancheros, chilaquiles, and huevos con chorizo. If looking for a quicker bite, Alma also operates a taqueria and marketplace on the ground floor. Book a table through Resy." - Rebecca Roland
