If you happen to be a board game aficionado, you may recognize the name of this Mexican eatery. Lotería, the game, is a Mexican game of chance, much like Bingo, involving cards with theatrical images. Lotería, the restaurant, is a guaranteed delicious Mexican-inspired meal in a chic, industrial space on Hollywood Boulevard.

Originally known for its stand in the historical Farmer’s Market at 3rd and Fairfax, Lotería’s distinctive menu has been captivating Angelino taste buds for years. With recipes featured in “L.A.’s Original Farmers Market Cookbook”, the restaurant is best known for its exotic sauce creations and handmade corn tortillas. While we love the quaint feel of the Farmer’s Market location, the Hollywood joint offers a posh crowd, ultra-modern high ceilings and, last but not least, a full bar. Start off your meal with the Probaditas mini-taco sample platter to fully understand what makes this Mexican gem so exceptional.
