El Jacalito Brings Oaxacan Home Cooking to Culver West
Last month’s lunch at the Bill Esparza approved Gish Bac on Washington near Crenshaw gave me a serious craving for mole. Ordering mole in L.A. is always a crapshoot, but Gish Bac’s red and black versions are everything you hope for when you go all in on a new place. Thick, complex, fragrant… it’s the kind of sauce that sticks with you for awhile, giving you hope that greatness might, just might, be found in any old Oaxacan place in any part of the city. And it was that optimism that brought me into El Jacalito, a tiny little joint on Washington near Centinela in Culver City.
