Los Angeles Energy. Latin-Inspired Soul. DAMA is the Downtown LA restaurant that turned a former Pacific Banana Co. warehouse in the Fashion District into one of the most transportive dining rooms in the city. Step inside and the room opens into a deco-tropical setting, lush greenery, wicker fans overhead, colorful tile underfoot, and an open-air patio that makes the whole night feel lighter. This is where Downtown LA dinners feel worth dressing up for.The kitchen is led by Chef Antonia Lofaso, and the menu leans pan-Latin, built for sharing and layered with the kind of citrus, heat, and depth that keeps the table ordering one more plate. Shared dishes arrive generously and are meant to move. Empanadas packed with seasoned beef, elote charred right, ceviche bright with lime and chili, crispy squid that earns its crunch, and a dry-aged ribeye that anchors the heavier end of the table. Build-your-own tacos let you decide the direction.
