CaCao Mexicatessen - Los Angeles

CaCao Mexicatessen elevates Eagle Rock dining with gourmet Mexican cuisine featuring wild game tacos and innovative preparations. Signature dishes include duck confit tacos on blue corn tortillas, wild boar chorizo, venison tacos, and the unique huitlacoche (corn truffle) preparations. The $50 Koreano short-rib burrito and beer-battered fish tacos showcase their creative fusion approach. Jonathan Gold praised their duck confit as a ‘confit-carnitas hybrid’ that ‘makes for the best taco.’ The mole fries have achieved cult status in LA, while the tocino enchochocolatado features house-cured bacon with chocolate mole. Vegetarian options include squash blossoms, hibiscus blossoms, and portobello mushrooms. Full bar with Baja wines and craft beers. Open Tuesday-Sunday 5pm-9pm (10pm Friday-Saturday). Expect $15-20 per entree for this elevated Mexican dining experience on Colorado Boulevard.
