le dräQ by Bar Amá & Bäco Mercat

Food-wise enjoyed everything I had: rolled taco with chicken, OG Fish Taco, and the shrimp Bäco. Favorite was the rolled taco with chicken. They didn’t skimp on the meat - very filling. Tortilla was soft and flavorful and seemed to have cheese baked in. It was sooo good. The fish taco and shrimp Bäco were good too but my only critique was that there was a bit too much sauce (honestly, may be a personal preference). Flavors were great, but would have preferred the sauce on the side. Also, would have been nice if these would have had a grilled option bc both were fried. Great HH deals on food - like really good! Would have liked to see wine on the HH menu though - it was a little limited drink wise.

The food was exceptional. Everything tasted AMAZING. The service was great too. Our server is so nice as well. Ambiance is perfect. Would definitely come back here.

We almost didn’t make it. Dodger game day traffic from Westwood nearly derailed our Mother’s Day brunch plans — but Le DräQ was absolutely worth the effort. Chef Josef Centeno’s newest Downtown LA concept is a love letter to two of his beloved restaurants, Bäco Mercat and Bar Amá, reborn in one warm, unpretentious space. We ordered generously. The Dos Caras Breakfast Burrito was an instant favorite — my daughter declared it one of the best she’s ever had. The beautifully presented Ricotta Pancake surprised us: denser and more substantial than expected, almost like a cross between a pancake and a polenta cake, topped with strawberries and maple butter. Not fluffy brunch fare — something more interesting than that. The Hamachi Crudo with potato hashbrown, adjika-yuzu and avocado was a standout — delicate, bright and completely unexpected on a brunch menu. The B.B.L.T. bäco with a fried egg added was messy and perfect. Breakfast tacos with perfect tortillas rounded out the table alongside a crisp, well-dressed salad. The food is generous in spirit — much like the chef himself, who happened to be there and couldn’t have been more welcoming. We’ll be back. Soon.

Really cool space in DTLA that is actually co-owned by the Michelin starred Orsa and Winston next door. This is a more budget friendly spot with all-around good food and vibes. The Le Draq Baco is a great with short rib and veggies in a soft flatbread wrap. The Cauliflower and Pesto was a good appetizer too that was filling and great to share. Service was friendly and nice!

First time visiting and I will definitely be back. We ordered two Dine LA sets - very good value. My favorites were the le dräQ bäco and the queso. I thought all the vegetables were good, but didn't quite steal the show. I'd love to come back try the other bäcos!
