"Las 7 Regiones de Oaxaca has been in the same location on Pico since it opened 25 years ago. And since then, this family-owned spot has drawn in crowds from far and wide, with everyone clamoring to try their Oaxacan dishes. As expected, the mole is excellent—a velvety, rich sauce that coats juicy chicken pieces and white rice. We also recommend their traditional tamales Oaxaqueños which are wrapped in banana leaves and filled with, you guessed it, glorious mole negro con pollo. As they say, the magic is in the details, and this spot never misses." - kat hong, brant cox, sylvio martins
