It brings me immense joy to announce that Rocio Camacho, the self proclaimed artisan Mole matriarch of Los Angeles–has finally opened up her own restaurant. Rocio and her restaurant Almost four years have passed since I first met Mrs. Camacho. Those of you OG “Teen-Gluts” veterano readers of mine might remember my notorious post on…
