El Moro, the famed Mexico City churro shop founded in 1935, expands to Los Angeles' Echo Park. Offering traditional churros, chocolate, and Mexican drinks, El Moro aims to share Mexican culture and gastronomy.
Starters include focaccia with creme fraiche, heirloom tomate aguachile, and scallops on the half shell; larger-format mains consist of crab fat caramel fried chicken, lobster risotto, and a duck breast with a black pepper demi-glace.
For lunch, Piknik will serve seasonal salads, open-faced sandwiches on Danish rye topped with chopped herring and apple with dill, a potato chip-encrusted wagyu schnitzel, and shaved sirloin with salted butter, horseradish aioli, pickled onions, tomato, and herbs.
