ALMA is a Mexican restaurant that celebrates Mexico’s rich culinary history by incorporating authentic ingredients and cooking techniques into its menu, while making modern modifications to delight Angelenos.

A unique two-story concept, the ground floor of ALMA is comprised of a walk-up taqueria and marketplace, which sells imported Mexican novelties and fresh ingredients, such as hand-pressed tortillas from ALMA’s kitchen. The fine-dining restaurant, located on ALMA’s second floor, serves authentic Mexican cuisine served with a Southern California twist.

Grupo Hunan's first venture outside of Mexico, inspired by Baja California's raw, coastal landscape, sun-kissed flora, and vibrant food culture. Grupo Hunan has been a mainstay of the Mexican restaurant scene for 30+ years, satisfying all the senses.

For us, being together is the way of life. We invite you and yours to come in, share some platillos, clink some glasses, and -most importantly- ENJOY the mexican culinary experience.

    Food was cold, specifically the rice and beans. For the tacos, few tacos were also cold. Waiter stated food would come in 10 mins it was more like 20 mins. Never once said if food was behind or check in with us.

    I love this restaurant but on Valentine’s Day they did not read my OpenTable reservation note so it was not completed even though I didn’t call to remind them I had assumed they would take a look at that. Food was delicious server very nice wish our request would have been completed

    Armando is so attentive and super charming, so refreshing to have a manager that is hands on and so friendly…. Feels like a lost art these days. Xander was also awesome and gave us some great recs for food and was on top of it all night. Food was delicious and atmosphere was fun.

    Armando! Armando! Armando! Utterly sensational! If I were a restaurant owner, I would swiftly hire you and triple your salary to run the show! Armando embodies the epitome of customer service dreams – a true gem in the dining industry. As an avid globe-trotter whose travel itinerary revolves around must-visit restaurants, I have never encountered such genuine and enthusiastic hospitality vibes outside my family circle. Armando, you possess a true gift – do not underestimate it! From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, Armando greeted us by our names as listed on our reservation. He seamlessly rearranged the entire table to accommodate our son, who joined us last minute when our babysitter fell through. Armando's attention to detail was impeccable; he even noticed our son was cold and brought a blanket over unsolicited. This was meant to be my birthday dinner, but we were so captivated by Armando's professionalism and service that we forgot to mention it. I have dined in Michelin-starred restaurants that do not hold a candle to the energy and exactitude displayed by Armando. And let's not forget dessert – a complete spectacle crafted by Armando, accompanied by the best dessert drinks. The food was exceptional, but the true experience was elevated by the impeccable service provided. I cannot wait to share my remarkable dining experience with my entire office come morning. I must also mention our waiter, Romel, a polite and soft-spoken young man who tended to our needs with great care and a positive attitude. Thank you both for creating such a fantastic evening that will be a lasting memory. With sincerest gratitude and admiration, An Enthusiastic Restaurant Critic.

    Seating preference made on reservation was not honored. Food was ok, but also pricey.
