Chiguacle Sabor Ancestral de Mexico
Mexican restaurant · Historic Core
103 Paseo De La Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90012
"Olvera Street has plenty of forgettable tortilla chips and margs. But if you want to end an afternoon of trinket shopping with a really good, sit-down Mexican meal, head to Chiguacle. This cantina specializes in low-and-slow dishes from southern Mexico, like zingy cochinita pibil and Mayan-style lamb with nopales and smoky dried chilies." - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins
"Located a stone’s throw away from Downtown’s Union Station, Chiguacle Sabor Ancestral de Mexico (or Chiguacle for simplicity’s sake) is LA’s answer to a traditional Mexican cantina with its excellent bar and varied menu of southern Mexican specialties. Besides its delicious cochinita pibil, Chiguacle serves a wonderful mixiote de borrego, slow-cooked lamb in a thick marinade made from Yucatecan staples like allspice, oregano, chiles, annatto, and garlic. The creamy sauce burns low and slow and straddles heat, sweetness, and a savory smokiness. The whole dish is enjoyed with handmade tortillas that have nopales mixed into the masa." - Sylvio Martins
