Not least in the park’s renaissance is the line of elegant wooden tamale carts along Alvarado, each run by a vendor from a different part of Latin America, each selling its own particular kind of tamales, one better than the next: banana-leaf-wrapped Oaxacan tamales oozing black mole sauce, wet chicken tamales from Honduras and spicy green-chile tamales from Acapulco, densely sweet little torpedos from El Salvador and grainy tamales from Michoacán. The driving force behind the vending district is Mama’s Hot Tamales Café, a sprawling, brightly painted complex across the street from the park that provides the kind of curatorial services and logistical support to the district’s tamale masters that in a better world MOCA would be providing to Los Angeles artists. In the café, a small bookstore is stocked with all the usual revolutionary classics, plus the odd García Márquez or Vargas Llosa novel in Spanish. A massive wooden table serves as an informal boardroom for the community, and a gallery sells paintings and jewelry by local artists.

There is a slightly utopian element to the venture, like something dreamed up during the third sleepless night of a Justice for Janitors sit-in or a long bus ride to the Capitol Mall. But judging from the number of community activists and families and men in crisp chef’s whites who course through in an average afternoon, the café has been thoroughly absorbed into the community. And as a neighborhood restaurant, Mama’s Hot Tamales is fantastic. Cafés in Mexico are not so different from this in the mornings, with excellent coffee, red-sauced chilaquiles at that nexus of bendy and crisp, peppery little cubes of fried potato, impeccable refried beans, fried country eggs, freshly made tomatillo salsa.

There is a surprisingly good Oaxacan mole here, slightly less complex than its equivalent at Guelaguetza perhaps, but rich, deeply flavored, sneakily spicy, with shredded chicken threaded through the sauce almost as a thickener. But mostly, of course, there are the tamales, a dozen or so available each day from a rotating list of about 50, each prepared by a cook from its area of origin, from Acapulco to Mexico City to Lima to Huehutenango, wrapped in avocado leaves or banana leaves or corn husks, wet and dry, spicy and mild, dense and polenta-like. Mama’s brings Los Angeles together, one tamale at a time. Mama’s Hot Tamales Café, 2124 W. Breakfast and lunch, seven days, 8:30 a.

Los Angeles happened to be on my mind today, so I thought I’d share my 25 favorite quotes about the city — it’s all the glory and disgrace of the City of Angels from 25 different lenses.

I could hear everything, together with the hum of my hotel neon. I never felt sadder in my life. New York gets godawful cold in the winter but there’s a feeling of wacky comradeship somewhere in some streets. Los Angeles is 72 suburbs in search of a city. I started The Cultureur in August 2012, almost a decade after contracting the travel bug while on a Model United Nations conference in Russia and Finland. From the grand aesthetics of a Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris to the aromatic flavors of street food in Mexico City, The Cultureur bridges the richness of both worlds into a redefined idea of luxury, effortlessly maneuvering through the satisfaction each brings and appealing to an audience that values experiential luxury travel.
