Chef Diego Argoti creates surreal fusion cuisine, marrying Mexican, Arab, and Asian dishes at his restaurant, Poltergeist. Set in the beloved Echo Park barcade, Button Mash, it is a manic space that perfectly fits the chef’s hyper-visual and hyper-flavorful foods. Diego also operates his own pop-up series at Estrano, a 'Street Pasta' pop-up in LA.
