Playa Vista’s bright new Free Market complex has arrived, and with it a collection of places to eat, shop, and generally hang out. There’s the brand new Jeni’s Ice Cream for dessert, but the real star of the show on the dining side is Loqui, the popular flour tortilla favorite that first opened at the Platform development in Culver City back in 2016. The restaurant, founded by Cameron Wallace and Ari Ampudia, began as a pop-up out of San Francisco’s Tartine years ago, before heading south and eventually expanding into the Arts District as well.

Southern Californian Bakery gives Filipino favorites a vegan twist
Localish
LOS ANGELES Kym Estrada is sharing her culture through food - with a twist. I m Filpina and I ve been vegan for 10 years, Estrada said. I basically started this out because like there was nothing like it. I miss my culture and I miss eating foods I grew up eating.
Estrada has been creating plant-based Filipinx baked goods since 2016. This one-woman moved her bakery from Brooklyn to Long Beach in October 2019. There s a growing number of vegans in the Filipino community, so I just want them to have those options as well, Estrada said.
