Note: Although Chulita takes limited reservations, the team holds the majority of tables for walk-ins.
This Oaxacan-inspired restaurant on Venice's now-gentrified Rose Avenue features a bright dining room and curated, thoughtfully sourced Mexican dishes, including a vegan tortilla soup and grilled nopales tacos topped with avocado salsa, blistered tomatoes and cotija cheese. A slew of mezcal and tequila-based drinks round out the menu at Chulita, making it a neighborhood favorite for anyone in search of agave-based coctkails.
