At <a href=\"https:\/\/la.eater.com\/venue\/96311\/evil-cooks\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Evil Cooks<\/a>, their earnest embrace of an aesthetic vision is deeply satisfying. And the food fucking shreds. The <a href=\"https:\/\/la.eater.com\/2024\/11\/13\/24295854\/evil-cooks-corazon-abierto-los-angeles-el-sereno-alex-elvia-garcia-restaurant-opening-modern-mexican\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Garc\u00edas kick out face-melting riffs on taqueria standards<\/a>; it\u2019s a menu stacked with bar after bar of blast beats from a diminutive, deeply personal pop-up turned restaurant in El Sereno.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">The Hell Menu (the Garc\u00edas stay on message) is for omnivores; the Heaven Menu caters to vegetarians. Many dishes can also be made vegan upon request.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">Provided they can rock with the metal soundtrack (as they should), this is a good spot for kids. There\u2019s a ton of fun decor on the patio, and dishes like the aforementioned McSatan or the straightforward mulita can easily be modified to suit younger palates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Devils on the door, gargoyles on the roof, a cloaked skeleton on the patio, and black octopus spinning&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":88797,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[28829,48,52,51,47,50,49],"class_list":{"0":"post-88796","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-dining-reports","9":"tag-la","10":"tag-la-headlines","11":"tag-la-news","12":"tag-los-angeles","13":"tag-los-angeles-headlines","14":"tag-los-angeles-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88796"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88796\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
