Plus Jerry’s Deli closes in Encino and Tam O’Shanter has a new brunch menu
One of the most anticipated restaurants of the year is Terraza Cha Cha Cha, an expansive rooftop spot coming to the Arts District. The Mexico City restaurant had planned to open earlier this year, but construction got pushed back due to the pandemic. Now, it hopes to debut before the end of the year. Much of the larger construction has been completed and the space is gearing up for its final touches in the interior and exterior.
In fact, much of the restaurant is outside, allowing it to accommodate up to 160 diners even with a reduced capacity and socially distanced tables. At full capacity, the place can seat more than 300, making it one of the largest new restaurants to come to the Arts District. The restaurant features lush greenery that should help shield diners from the sun, while affording a fairly good view of Downtown’s buildings from its second story perch. Alejandro Guzman, formerly of Le Comptoir and Fabby’s, will be the executive chef overseeing a menu inspired by the CDMX original, though with adaptations for the LA dining scene.
