La Condesa Set To Open April 23 In Santa Monica

A new Latin American restaurant plans on opening April 23 in the old Estate space at 1519 Wilshire Blvd.  La Condesa is the latest project of Misael Guerrero.  Guerrero, who originally hails from Sinaloa, is the man behind the rapidly expanding chain Culichitown and Mama Por Dios.  He is known for his Mexican sushi and lively atmospheres.  We wish him the best of luck.

Mama Por Dios Bringing “Mexican Gourmet” To LA

It looks like LA/West Hollywood is getting a new Mexican joint.  A banner on the front of 8722 W 3rd St. (previously home to The District by Hannah An) and some brightly painted fiberglass cows are announcing the impending arrival of Mama Por Dios.  MPD operates one other location in Rancho Cucamonga and promises us “Mexican gourmet” served with a side of live Mariachi music or DJs.
