“Bar A Tí is a mini-dream come true,” chef Andrew Ponce tells L.A. TACO while finalizing the small 7-10 dish menu at his new Echo Park taqueria, which is set to open Wednesday, September 25th.
The Mexican American chef, born and raised in Los Angeles, was the chef de cuisine at Bestia for years before launching A Tí, his pop-up that served creative cooking out of the backyard of a pasta restaurant in West Adams, earlier this year.
Ponce uses the term “mini-dream” because the opening of his modern Mexican concept in a brick-and-mortar space will be a five-week trial.
