In Short
This cafe's bright facade distinguishes it from its more somber neighbors, which line the chipped cement flanking MacArthur Park's southern border. Colorful walls and mismatched wooden seating widen the narrow shoebox space. The menu offers Latin American entrees, and at least 10 rotating tamale picks, including chicken, green chili and Bolivian guava cheese. Everyone--servers, chefs, satellite vendors in the park--are apprentices learning the hospitality business.
