History

Established in 1994.

Guelaguetza first opened its doors in 1994 by immigrant husband and wife Fernando Lopez and Maria Monterrubio. Since then, our goal at Guelaguetza has been to showcase the best of our family recipes and stay true to authentic Oaxacan ingredients. Guelaguetza's mission is for all of its patrons to live and experience Oaxaca through all of its dishes. Today, Mr. and Mrs. Lopez are retired and have paved the way for their children, Paulina, Fernando Jr, Elizabeth and Bricia Lopez. This new generation of Oaxaqueños has taken upon themselves the responsibility of not only continuing their family's restaurant success but also expanding its legacy. Recently they launched their online retail store where fans can purchase Guelaguetza's famous mole and signature Michelada mix. The Lopez's have undoubtedly become ambassadors to Oaxacan cuisine in Los Angeles. Their hard work, dedication and love for their culture have earned them features and mentions in publications such as Los Angeles

Business owner information

Lopez-Family L.

Business Owner

Our family was born in Oaxaca and migrated to the US in 1994. Ever since then, our goal has been to showcase not only our family recipes, but also the hard work and dedication that goes into each of them. Each year, we travel to Oaxaca, and hand pick our ingredients, and carefully select the people we partner with. Guelaguetza is a restaurant, boutique market, and advocates for Oaxacan culture located in the heart of Korea-town in Los Angeles. Our motivation behind our products is simple: uncompromising quality. The products found in our store have taken years of development, and we hope that when taking your first taste of our Mole, or your first sip of our Michelada, you are transported into what Oaxaca means to us...a true Guelaguetza.
