"Between the multiple restaurant stalls, yacht-sized central hearth, and seating area that resembles an airplane hangar, there's a lot to take in atMaydan Market, West Adam’s fancy new food hall. So let us help: Head to Lugya’h first. FormerlyPoncho’s, this Oaxacan specialist occupies a small counter in the market making tlayudas that are just as incredible as the ones from their South LA pop-up. Hubcap-sized sheets of masa are toasted until crisp over a wood-fired comal, then folded with black bean paste, rendered chorizo fat, shaved cabbage, and gooey quesillo that stretches like bubble gum. One tlayuda plus a grilled meat (we love the smoky spiced blood sausage) costs $25, but can feed two—or leave one with a hefty takeout box." - Brant Cox
