Guelaguetza

Los Angeles, California

An Oaxacan institution in Koreatown that's been serving some of the most authentic moles in America for over two decades. The Lopez family brought seven moles from Oaxaca and they make every one from scratch. The tlayuda is the size of a hubcap and tastes like a revelation. This is the kind of restaurant where the food connects you to a place thousands of miles away.

Insider tip

The mole negro with chicken. It takes days to make and you can taste every hour. Pair it with a mezcal from their Oaxacan-focused bar.

Sqirl

The ricotta toast that launched a thousand Instagram accounts, yes. But Sqirl is more than that — it's a tiny, sun-drenched kitchen turning out some of the most thoughtful grain bowls and seasonal plates on the east side. Jessica Koslow's preserves are legendary for a reason. The line moves fast. The food is worth the wait.

Bestia
EatArts District

Bestia

The restaurant that put the Arts District on the culinary map and somehow hasn't lost a step in over a decade. Ori Menashe's Italian cooking is muscular and unapologetic — house-made salumi, wood-fired pizzas, pastas that could make a Bolognese weep. The room is industrial-gorgeous, loud in the best way, and impossible to get into on short notice. Plan ahead.

The Broad
ExperienceArts District

The Broad

Eli and Edythe Broad's contemporary art museum is free, stunning, and houses one of the most important postwar collections in the world. Basquiat, Koons, Ruscha, Haring — all under one vaulted honeycomb roof designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro. The infinity mirror room still draws lines, but the permanent collection alone justifies the visit.

EatLittle Havana · Miami, Florida

Versailles

The cathedral of Cuban-American cuisine. Versailles has been the political, social, and culinary heart of Miami's exile community since 1971. The food is comfort in its purest form — ropa vieja, vaca frita, platanos maduros — and the ventanita window for cafecito is a daily ritual for half the city. Skip the trendy spots. This is Miami's soul on a plate.

EatDivision · Portland, Oregon

Le Pigeon

Gabriel Rucker's flagship remains one of the most exciting restaurants on the West Coast. The menu reads like a dare — foie gras profiteroles, beef cheek bourguignon, a burger that costs more than it should and is worth every cent. The room is tiny, the counter seats face the open kitchen, and every plate arrives looking like controlled chaos. This is Portland fine dining at its most unruly and brilliant.
