Guelaguetza Restaurante, established in 1994 by Fernando Lopez and Maria Monterrubio, is celebrated as one of the premier Oaxacan restaurants in the United States. With a mission to showcase authentic Oaxacan dishes crafted from family recipes and regional ingredients, the restaurant has become a cultural ambassador for Oaxacan cuisine in Los Angeles.

Now run by the next generation of the Lopez family—Paulina, Fernando Jr., Elizabeth, and Bricia—the restaurant has expanded its legacy by launching an online retail store for its renowned mole and signature Michelada mix. Guelaguetza's dedication to its culinary heritage has garnered accolades from numerous prestigious publications and recently earned the James Beard Award for American Classics, solidifying its status in the culinary world.
