“Bricia and her family are true culinary ambassadors, sharing the
ingredients, the stories, and the flavors of her native Oaxaca. To
me, they have achieved the true American dream—they have brought
with them all of the very best from their home, providing an
amazing space for community, for family, for the people of Los
Angeles . . . and now we all get the chance to hear the stories and
taste the food that makes Oaxaca one of the best places to eat on
earth.”

"From its powerful and important dedication, to its enticing
introduction, alluring photographs and recipes, the thrilling new
cookbook Oaxaca accomplishes that rare feat of capturing a place so
vividly it not only make you want to go there, it brings you there
by simply picking up this wonderful tribute to a land and its
people. Let’s lift a glass of mezcal to Bricia Lopez and the family
behind LA’s Guelaguetza.”
*chef and co-owner of Mozza Restaurant Group*
Bricia and her family built an amazing space to share the flavors
and the stories of their native Oaxaca. Her journey is inspiring:
Like any other migrant family they brought to the United States
their very own cuisine, but they also created a place for
community, for the people of Los Angeles, a place where you can
feel at home. Now we have the chance to read the stories and taste
the food that makes Oaxaca one of the best places to eat on
earth.

"I grew up in Ktown in and out of 8th street, aka the Oaxacan
corridor where their first restaurant was. Now it's located in the
buffet building I used to eat at as a kid on Olympic. And soon,
Mama Rabbit is gonna open right next door to my restaurant Best
Friend in Las Vegas. I can't seem to shake the Guelaguetza family.
We are forever linked and I'm mole than happy for that!”
*Roy Choi*
“This inspiring and delightful cookbook, full of excellent and
easy-to-follow recipes, confirms that Oaxaca is not only one of
Mexico's most important food regions, it is one of the most
important in the world.”
