DAMA Fashion District - Downtown LA Restaurant & Bar

A converted warehouse turned Fashion District favorite, DAMA pairs bold Mexican flavors with one of Downtown's most atmospheric patios.

String lights and exposed brick set the scene at this industrial-chic space, where the kitchen turns out coastal Mexican dishes with real char and depth. The mezcal program alone is worth the trip, but it's the sprawling back patio—equal parts lush and lively—that keeps regulars coming back for long, unhurried nights.

Best for: Date night, group dinners, warm-weather patio drinks
