4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: May 30 | Eater LA

"Chef Adolfo Perez—who spent a career learning various cuisines and dishes at the Cheesecake Factory before striking out on his own (including a gas-station establishment known for some of the San Fernando Valley’s best burritos)—began a residency at this Downtown LA restaurant in late April, serving crowd-pleasing Mexican American dishes like surf-and-turf fajitas, barbacoa taquitos topped with ancho chile ranch, and achiote-marinated roast chicken. The restaurant occupies prime pre-theater dining real estate at Downtown’s Music Center, and Perez’s food works as a delightful snack prior to the area’s high-quality shows. The patio tables are especially desirable, with views of City Hall down the hill and the iconic John Ferraro/LADWP building surrounded by a faux lake; on late afternoons when the breezes turn from chilly to pleasantly warm, it’s an ideal spot to feel that summer has finally arrived in Los Angeles." - Eater Staff
