The opening night of the 2019 Los Angeles Times FOOD BOWL begins with Mesamérica L.A. at the Million Dollar Theater in downtown Los Angeles.

Mesamérica L.A. is the first incarnation of chef Enrique Olvera’s celebrated symposium to be held outside of Mexico. Olvera and L.A. Times Food Editor Peter Meehan have put together a program that explores the culinary and cultural interconnectedness of Mexico City and Los Angeles to celebrate the sister cities’ 50-year anniversary. Art, architecture, identity and the meaning of tacos will be explored through talks, video and song. The Mesamérica event will be followed by DFiesta next door at Grand Central Market and La Cita Bar. Most of the market will feature for-purchase chef collaborations, roving Mariachi bands and other Mexico City-inspired merriment.

Tickets for the event are $35 for Mesamérica only or $85 for Mesamérica and the DFiesta. Please note this event is 21+ only.
