"An Oaxacan institution that is available on mainstream delivery platforms such as Doordash, Grubhub, Postmates, and Uber Eats, making it more visible to diners using those services." - Bill Esparza
"I view the original Guelaguetza space on 8th Street as an iconic pillar of LA’s Oaxacan community: it first opened in 1994 and is remembered as the first traditional Oaxacan restaurant to open in Los Angeles. That 8th Street location held deep community importance—Valentín Granja worked there as a manager for 20 years and Germán as a server, and it’s where Valentín met his future mother-in-law, Dominga Velasco Rodriguez, who worked as chef de cuisine there in 1995 before moving to Guelaguetza’s Olympic Boulevard address. Rodriguez is respected for her moles, especially a wonderfully smoky, earthy mole negro, and her forty years of cooking reflect the matriarchal, indigenous traditions that underpin Oaxacan cuisine in LA." - Bill Esparza
