Silver Lake, Los Angeles · restaurant
Plantain gnocchi in Nigerian curry, yuca latkes with fennel seed, and duck confit hoe cake topped with stracciatella and hot honey set the tone for Amiguita’s Afro-Caribbean crossover menu. Rare in LA and confident in its combinations. The soft-toned dining room keeps things intimate, with cozy tables that make it feel more like a dinner party than a restaurant. If it’s on, the flan is quietly the best thing here.
