Gourmet Mexican Eatery, Lotería! Grill Celebrates 10th Anniversary

The newly opened Lotería Grill on 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, CA boasts a wall of vibrant Loteria figurines hand-crafted in Oaxaca, Mexico

You can’t live in Los Angeles and not have eaten at Loteria! Grill. In the rare case that you haven’t, please let me introduce you to them as they celebrate their 10th anniversary.

A note from our friend, the always gracious and super talented owner of Loteria!, Jimmy Shaw:

“Ten years ago, on July 1, 2002, I opened my first Lotería! Grill at Farmers Market LA with the idea of preparing a deep menu of regional Mexican specialties, guisos, and salsas, as delicious as what I grew up enjoying as a kid in Mexico City.

I wanted to serve these in tacos so good, that couples would want to visit us on a date.

Thank you to all of our loyal fans who have dined with us at Lotería, called in to take our food to your home, and who have honored us by asking us to cater your Special Events.

Gracias Los Angeles for your wonderful support.” – Jimmy Shaw

Loteria! Grill is celebrating this milestone by dedicating its menu to El Taco.
