The 22 Best Mexican Restaurants In Los Angeles - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Run by celebrity chefs Jaime Martin Del Campo and Ramiro Arvizu for the past 25 years, La Casita Mexicana in Bell is both a beloved neighborhood staple and a true LA dining destination. The menu here spans Mexico: there's rich, chocolate-y mole, Azteca cheese fondue, and steak served over grilled cactus. But the mandatory order here is their chile en nogada. This giant green chile is stuffed with beef, spices, dried fruits, and nuts, then topped with pecan cream sauce. It’s sweet, savory, and every flavor in between—a dish we would happily eat as an appetizer, entree, or dessert." - sylvio martins, brant cox, garrett snyder
