Enrique Olvera's Arts District restaurant, contemporary Mexican cooking on a greenery-filled patio.
Damian is a CASAMATA restaurant at 2132 E 7th Place in the Arts District of Los Angeles, serving contemporary cuisine rooted in Mexican culture. Enrique Olvera is chef founder, with Chuy Cervantes as jefe de cocina; Olvera's other restaurants are Pujol in Mexico City and Cosme in New York. Damian opened in October 2020 and is listed in the MICHELIN Guide in the 2026 California selection.
The restaurant occupies a repurposed warehouse: the MICHELIN Guide review describes polished concrete, exposed brick and pendant lighting offset by plush leather chairs and plants. The venue's own description centers on a greenery-filled patio used for outdoor entertaining, alongside a private dining room.
The menu is seafood-focused, inspired by the regional preparations of the Mexican Pacific coast and by seasonal Californian produce. Pescado a la Talla is dry-aged branzino with chayote at $72, the duck carnitas comes cola-confit with shishitos and jardin at $108, and the carne asada runs from a prime flat iron with alubias at $70 to a 22 oz prime ribeye at $155. A carrot aguachile brings blue shrimp, scallop and sal de gusano at $32. The bar program works with artisanal spirits.
Dinner runs Wednesday and Thursday from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm and Friday to 10:00 pm, with Saturday service from noon to 10:00 pm and Sunday from noon to 9:00 pm. The private dining room accommodates up to 11 guests, the patio takes larger groups, and partial and full buyouts are offered.
