The squash blossoms are perfect, lamb chops are great! I will highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. Their staffs are really friendly and helpful. My family did enjoy all the foods they served. I can say that vegans are perfect here. They got a lot of food to select with. Great place!

Went to DAMA to celebrate my wife’s birthday. She’s been wanting to try one of Antonia Lofaso’s restaurants and DAMA did not disappoint. Our reservation was for 6 pm but we arrived early and were seated immediately. (It wasn’t too busy) They were aware it was her birthday and she was greeted with a happy birthday.
For starters, we got the bread and lamb chops. The bread was amazing and from that point on I knew things were only going to get better. The lamb chops were fantastic. Wife got the rotisserie chicken with fries and I got the crispy pork shanks which were phenomenal. Our server was attentive and even gave my wife a pretty thoughtful birthday card. Food was a bit pricey but it was definitely worth it and we will be going back.

We had such a great time last night enjoying the vibrant atmosphere and attentive service — truly top-notch. Sharing small plates was a fun and flavorful way to try a variety of dishes.
The guacamole, lamb chops, and elote were nice to share, though the calamari with squid ink stole the spotlight — perfectly crispy, bold, and unforgettable. The croquettes were also a standout.
The wine list was well-curated and paired beautifully with the food. While we appreciated the concept of small plates, I would have loved to see a few more larger entrée options to round out the experience for heartier appetites.
Still, DAMA offers a wonderful balance of ambiance, creativity, and service — looking forward to coming back!

Great spot! This has to be some of the best Latin food in Los Angeles. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with dim lighting that gives it a cool, moody vibe—perfect for a date night or a fun night out with friends. The outdoor patio also adds to the experience, making it feel like a hidden gem in the middle of the Fashion District. Can’t wait to come back!

Went there for a birthday dinner and we had a faboulous time! Nothing better than eating delicious food with people you love and adore.
We ordered about 6 small plates for appetizers and the clams & chorizo and thd whole red snapper as a the dinner entree. The aguachiles and seafood tostado were good fresh quality. Nothing creative but they stuck to bringing out the fresh taste of the ingredients and a great summer al fresco dish to start. Then we moved on to the carbs: the bread, empandas and patatas bravas were all good but the bread with anchovies hit the spot for me. Next we had the refreshing celery salad with quail eggs and anchovies before moving onto the entree. Finally, the whole red snapper and the clam & chorizo was a perfect finale to the meal. The fish was seasoned amazingly that we didnt use the sauce. If anything, we enjoyed using the clam and chorizo bake sauce. Only suggestion is more bread for the clam & chorizo dish.
The drinks were good and the server we had was friendly and professional and timed and grouped the dishes well. The bussers were all polite and efficient and appreciate double checking if we were finished with the dish.

Nice “tapas” style restaurant with great selection of small and large plates to be shared with friends and family. The outdoor area was elegantly arranged with heat lamps in case of a chill.
There were two roaches running around, but I think they were from the surrounding area (skid row, etc.) No one seem bothered, so I guess it was ok.
There is valet, but there is also street parking in front which I believe is free after 6pm.

Dimly lit restaurant but very lively and busy this Saturday night. Really great service for such a busy restaurant. Definitely recommend the empanadas, some of the best I’ve had even though they’re mini-sized. The celery salad was very tangy and gave a refreshing balance in comparison to the other heavier dishes we had. All the meat was cooked perfectly but I personally did not like the flavor of the seasoning/marinade/garnishes—a little too tangy for my taste. Solid twist on latin flavors though!

Dama Fashion District is a culinary gem! The food is absolutely phenomenal – every dish we ordered was creative, expertly prepared, and presented with flair. The flavors are bold and exciting, with a focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients. We loved the unique twists on classic dishes and the attentive service that made us feel like VIPs. The atmosphere is chic and rustic , perfect for a night out with friends or a special occasion. If you’re a foodie looking for a truly exceptional dining experience, Dama is a must-visit. The quality of the food, combined with the stylish ambiance, makes it a standout in the Fashion District.

Celebrate my friend’s birthday here~ the waitress was so kind to let us sit inside after we arrived earlier than their opening hour.
The crispy potatoes is a must! And the corns were so amazing too. We ordered other dishes as well they were all good, but the corns and the potatoes stood out for me~
Photos taken by my friend~ I can never take pics this good lol

Beautiful venue with a warm, inviting vibe — hanging plants, soft lighting, leather couches, and overall lovely aesthetics. Parking was easy, and valet service is also available, which was convenient.
As for the food, it was good but not quite as great as I’d hoped. I was really looking forward to this meal, but it didn’t quite hit the mark. The elote was excellent — probably my favorite dish — and the squash blossoms were also delicious. The chicken tacos, however, had so much cabbage that it was hard to even taste the chicken. The fish dish was decent, and the grilled pineapple that came with it was the highlight. The potatoes were just okay.
We finished with the churros, which had great flavor on the outside — perfectly dusted with cinnamon and sugar — but unfortunately, the inside was a bit undercooked.
Overall, it was an okay experience — beautiful atmosphere, nice service, but the food could use a little more consistency to match the setting.
