Meet Shireen Imani
Chulita was born out of a need for connection. After moving to Venice Beach, Chulita’s founder and owner Shireen Imani felt a yearning for something that was inherent in the Nolita neighborhood from where she came – a deep sense of community. Her answer? A casual, local spot that would showcase mezcal and tequila and bring the neighborhood together. And so with the help of her group of friends, Chulita was born – an elevated yet welcoming modern Mexican restaurant and bar with a menu of contemporary, Oaxacan-inspired shareable plates and cocktails/spirits that highlight the artisanal and authentic agave spirits from across Mexico.
