Damian opens a tropical courtyard behind warehouse walls.
Enrique Olvera’s duck carnitas, clam aguachile and a courtyard under banana palms.
Hidden behind industrial warehouse walls in the DTLA Arts District, Damian reveals an intoxicating open-air tropical courtyard shaded by banana palms and industrial steel beams.
From Chef Enrique Olvera and team, Mexican heritage meets California produce: hibachi-grilled duck carnitas with heirloom corn tortillas, clam ceviche with serrano aguachile, and the iconic charred corn husk meringue.
Sensual, pulsing with Latin rhythm, and bathed in dappled golden hour sunlight; mezcal cocktails and natural Mexican pet-nats complement the smoky cuisine.
Damian demonstrates the soaring global stature of modern Mexican gastronomy, cementing Los Angeles as the North American capital of contemporary Latin culinary art.
