The 15 Best Oaxacan Restaurants In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Gish Bac’s new home in Pico-Union was previously an event space, which you could probably guess by the awkwardly spaced out tables and stage with no band to take our requests. It’s definitely not as homey as its predecessor, but the traditional Oaxacan cooking at this family-owned operation is as great as ever. The coloradito is packed with as much punchy dried chile flavor as possible, the tlayudas serve as platters for Gish Bac’s housemade tasajo and peppery chorizo, and the signature lamb barbacoa dishes, including the weekend-only barbacoa blanco, is slow-roasted to peak tenderness with avocado leaves." - sylvio martins
