You haven't lived until you've eaten Chicharron de queso (fried cheese). Seriously.
Loteria Grill, known by many as the best Mexican food this side of Santa Barbara’s La Super Rica (the late Julia Child’s favorite), and no less, the best Mexican food in Los Angeles, is coming to Studio City. When Jimmy Shaw opened the original Loteria Grill in the Farmers Market on Third Street in Los Angeles seven years ago, people flocked to the little stand for its authentic take on regional cuisine. Last summer, Shaw opened Loteria Grill in Hollywood to rave reviews. And this summer, he begins construction inside the old Gaucho Grill location at Ventura Blvd and Laurel Canyon. Until you’ve tried the chicharron de queso (cheese that’s fried and then shaped like a giant hat), you haven’t lived. Seriously. Stay tuned. www.loteriagrill.com

Owners Jaime and Francine Alba, who oversee the Los Angeles restaurant chain and are often found visiting with customers, have also added new vegetarian dishes. No one would believe their Vegetarian Chicken Parmesan, Sauteed Sirloin, Chicken Picatta or Shrimp Scampi are made from soy and wheat protein. Furthering their healthy eating menu, the Albas have also created new healthy low carb dishes just in time for summer. Of course, their regular specialties, including family platters, are always available.
