    I am so happy I finally got to try Dama! I absolutely love Antonia LaFasso so I've been dying to…read moretry one of her restaurants. Now when you pull up originally you might think, "am I in the right place" but once you park and get into the courtyard, it is LOVELY! Amazing ambience! There is a bocce set up, string lights. It is a little slice of oasis in the middle of the fashion district. The restaurant itself - beautiful. I couldn't ask for more. Absolutely perfect in my book. Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried. Unfortunately my friends had gone to Funke the night before so they were comparing the squash blossoms and Funke won out, but they still liked Dama's! Small plates were enough for the 3 of us. The service was quick and attentive. Parking was easy for us. I will definitely be back!

    Wonderful escape right in the heart of downtown. Plenty of street parking. There are lots around…read moretoo Love the outdoor area They have permanent benches that are cushioned with backrests too So enjoy the outside protected from the wind Most tables are shaded with the buildings surrounding too so you have this nice alcove feel Enjoy your mimosas and cocktails!!

    Mercado La Paloma Mission Statement: Mercado La Paloma is located in the Figueroa Corridor of South…read moreLos Angeles a neighborhood that is full of creative and hard working entrepreneurs, community spirit, artists, musicians and cultural traditions. The area has historically suffered from disinvestment - including a lack of quality jobs and business opportunities, quality gathering spaces, quality food, and art and cultural opportunities. The investment that has occurred in the area has often not been designed for the benefit of those living in our community. In 1999 in response to the suggestion of some residents in Esperanza's housing developments for a local version of the bustling markets that they had left behind in their home countries, the idea for Mercado La Paloma was born. Mercado La Paloma Offerings: Offering a unique blend of local retail, cuisine, and cultural experiences. Developed by Esperanza Community Housing Corporation, it provides affordable business opportunities and living-wage jobs for local residents. 1st Floor Community Room Rental Fees: - $25/hour for current Mercado tenants, vendors, and local community groups - $60/hour for external nonprofits - $100/hour for external for-profits - $55 per day for day table rentals For Room Reservations and more information, email: daniel@mercadolapaloma.com Shop Vendor Stalls Inside Mercado La Paloma: 1) Gloria's Alterations 2) Joe's Sports World 3) Donaji Oaxacan Crafts 4) Paloma Cutlery ========= Food Vendor Stalls Inside Mercado La Paloma: 1) Holbox 2) Taqueria Vista Hermosa 3) Thai Corner Food Express 4) Chichen Itza 5) Komal 6) Oaxacalifornia ======== Wait Time: Wait time doesn't seem like an issue with 5 of the 6 food vendors. The one food vendor that you might have to wait for is Holbox (Michelin 1 Star). I went over the weekend and the food vendor stall had a separate line dedicated to the shop. Took about 40 minutes get to the front of the line to order. Parking: Paid parking can be found in their private parking lot and free parking on Grand and surrounding neighboring streets. Ambiance/Decor: Pretty cool ambiance with plenty of tables and chairs inside outside for your dining pleasure. Shops/Food Vendor Of Choice: I haven't visit any of the shop vendors stalls, but I've visited 3 (Holbox, Taqueria Vista Hermosa, and Thai Corner Food Express) out of 6 food vendors stalls. All the food vendors that I've tried were very good. Mercado La Paloma For Thought: I would mind coming back to try other food vendors.

    I love this food hall. Holbox is the most popular choice, but there's also excellent food at other…read moreplaces too. Chichen Itza is the older restaurant of the chef Gilberto (holbox) family. Komal has delicious food and is the expert with masa and tortillas. Oaxacalifornia has the best selection of agua frescas. There's Thai Corner that I have not yet tried but want to check out. Taqueria Vista Hermosa is great. There's something for everyone and the ambiance is always bustling. Parking can be difficult if you're visiting during busy hours on the weekend.

The food was absolutely outstanding, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. We tried the empanadas and they were phenomenal. Perfectly crispy on the outside and packed with flavor on the inside. The meat was juicy, rich, and seasoned beautifully. Honestly, every dish we tried was amazing and you can tell there's real passion behind the kitchen. A huge shoutout to Juan for setting everything up for us and making sure the experience was seamless. And a big thank you to the manager, Sherryl, who made us feel incredibly welcome and took great care of us throughout the visit. Great food, great service, and an overall fantastic atmosphere. If you're looking for delicious empanadas and an authentic, memorable dining experience, Que Bárbaro is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended and we will absolutely be back.

Influencers can be seen taking photos and recording videos, adding to the vibrant atmosphere and colorful design throughout the space. It's a lively spot to dine, connect with friends, and truly enjoy a fun night out. A decent cocktail, mocktail, bubbles, and wine selection with a Happy Hour menu available on game nights. The food is flavorful and slightly on the spicy side. We enjoyed the empanadas as the crust was one of the best I have ever had; the filling was tasty, but the wagyu beef did not shine through. The lobster tallarin was well prepared as the spaghetti was perfectly al dente. Don't be disappointed as there are no lobster pieces, only shrimp. The lomo saltado had generous pieces of beef; however, the filet pieces weren't tender because they were overcooked. A strawberry cheesecake was gifted to us for dessert to celebrate our event. It was dense and filled with the perfect touch of sweetness. After our meal, we ventured to the poolside bar with an awesome DJ, bar, and views of the city. Fun place, fun night!
