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

"Madre is a local mini-chain that boasts the country’s largest private mezcal collection (yes, really) as well as consistently good Oaxacan food. There are three locations in LA and a fourth in Santa Clarita, but the spacious Torrance branch stands out as our favorite, with its large bar area where you can comfortably post with friends for mezcal margaritas. Madre’s folded tlayudas come glued together with melted quesillo, mole-drenched tamales are generously stuffed with chicken, and the crispy chicharrón tacos come on soft, handmade tortillas." - sylvio martins
