Guelaguetza also has champurrado, which is atole (a corn based hot beverage) with chocolate. One of the shops on Olvera street, on the west side of the street does a good Mexican hot chocolate, made from an espresso machine. In terms of non-Mexican hot chocolate, I have yet to have a great cup in LA, so I make my own. Tue Sep 21 15:44:55 -0700 2004 338468 0 sku 2 338481 By the way, did anyone notice that J. Gold reviewed Antequera de Oaxaca in the LA Weekly one week after Thi's excellent review of it? Hmmmm. Tue Sep 21 15:46:09 -0700 2004 338480 0 sku 2 1986271 The shop at Olvera street that sells books, arts & crafts? Yeah, that is good, rich Hot Chocolate.

Tue Sep 21 16:56:22 -0700 2004 338468 0 Panoz 1 338541 Picante Cocina in Berkeley serves Mexican hot chocolate imported from Oaxaca. It's delicious, as is their food.

Wed Sep 22 04:42:10 -0700 2004 338468 0 Jon 1 1985697 Try Espresso Y Sabor on Hollywood Blvd. Tue Oct 31 16:41:04 -0800 2006 338468 50139 olivethegreat 1 1985849 El Sazon Oaxaquena in Culver City on Washington Place has it. I believe Monte Alban also has it. Tue Oct 31 17:22:57 -0800 2006 338468 13350 glutton 2 1986267 Its okay but not great. (El Sazon uses Abuelita & Monte Alban uses Mayordomo). Tue Oct 31 19:16:57 -0800 2006 1985849 42572 Eat_Nopal 1 1986092 The BEST Champurado I've had in the city is at Mama's Hot Tamles, rich flavor and texture... it's like FINE chocolate pudding... SO adores it... --Dommy! Tue Oct 31 18:29:14 -0800 2006 338468 10659 Dommy 2 1986146 I completely forgot about that. Dommy is absolutely right -- it's amazing. Tue Oct 31 18:43:14 -0800 2006 1986092 13350 glutton 1 1986156 I love the champurrado at Tortas Mexico (in Studio City, La Cañada and La Crescenta). Tue Oct 31 18:44:56 -0800 2006 338468 10811 Das Ubergeek 2 1987315 Is this a local chain? They also have a Tortas Mexico in Pasadena. Wed Nov 01 00:43:22 -0800 2006 1986156 15848 ozzygee 3 1987503 Yes... it is definitely a chain. What I don't know is if its affiliated to Tortas Mexico of Mexico City. Wed Nov 01 02:16:23 -0800 2006 1987315 42572 Eat_Nopal 1 1987870 The best is what use to be called Espresso mi Cultura on Hollywood just east of Wilton...I think it is called Saber Cultura or something like that.

Rich, full, and soft in the mouth and a subtle, afterburn of spicy goodness. Mmmm... I went to the shop in La Jolla, but I think there are also locations in Irvine, Carlsbad, and Encinitas. These are retail shops, not restaurants, although I think there were a few small tables at the La Jolla location. http://www.chuaochocolatier.com/ Fri Feb 09 12:33:03 -0800 2007 338468 71240 jvozoff
