At Babita Mexicuisine, you will discover fantastic Southern Mexican food, including the cuisine of the Yucatan peninsula (such as a saucy broiled swordfish and a regional classic known as cochinita pibil—achiote-marinated pork roast in a banana leaf). This small, simply-decorated, hidden gem ranks among some of the best Mexican food in LA, and the fact that Babita herself is likely to be your server (not to mention the fresh, handmade corn tortillas that come with the meal) only serves to underscore its authenticity.
