“The award-winning Los Angeles based chef, Wes Avila, known for his blend of regional California and Mexican cuisine, has returned to his roots with MXO, a contemporary Mexican Steakhouse centered around wood-fire cooking located in the heart of the new culinary epicenter of West Hollywood.”

“MXO, means “Mexican Origins.” We’re big fans of Chef Wes’ going back to his very personal Angry Egret Dinette in L.A.’s Chinatown and the original Guerrilla Tacos cart before that.

“Chef Avila was particularly inspired by his most recent travels to Monterrey, Mexico where the bustling culinary scene there inspired the creation of the MXO concept, all the while paying homage to his roots and Mexican culinary traditions.”

Look for specialties including Grilled Cabbage Caesar, Okinawa Sweet Potato Taquitos and Pork al Pastor with pineapple.

MXO is part of Dine L.A. Restaurant Week through Friday, February 7th.

Chef Wes takes a break from the active wood-fired grill to join us.
