“New to the Walt Disney Concert Hall in DTLA is La Nena Cantina, created by restaurateur Vicente Del Rio, which brings coastal-inspired cuisine and handcrafted cocktails all made from scratch to guests dining before shows and to the broader community. Diners will find many of the beloved dishes from the restaurant's Malibu and Hollywood locations, including Mole Negro, Tiradito de Hamachi, La Nena Molcajete and Tacos Malibu, as well as signature elements such as the tableside guacamole and handmade tortillas.”

“The restaurant showcases exclusive offerings created just for The Music Center, from specialty premium seasonal cocktails to specially curated pre-show menu options. La Nena Cantina is open for both lunch and dinner.”

Hours of operation are Monday through Thursday, 11:00 A.M. – 10:00 P.M.; Friday and Saturday, 11:00 A.M. – 11:00 P.M.; and Sunday, 11:00 A.M. – 9:00 P.M. La Nena Cantina adjusts hours of operation to accommodate any pre-show or special event service windows.

“La Nena Cantina (Hospitality 70 Group), is a contemporary Mexican restaurant concept inspired by the vibrant coastal flavors of Mexico and the relaxed sophistication of California living. Founded in 2025 by Vicente Del Rio and wife Andrea Nales—the team behind the acclaimed Frida Mexican Cuisine (Frimex Hospitality Group)—La Nena represents the evolution of more than 25 years of Los Angeles hospitality experience, offering a fresh interpretation of Mexican cuisine that honors tradition while embracing creativity and modern dining culture.”
