Chef Josef Centeno pays homage to his signature sandwich with his new restaurant.

The chef behind Bar Ama, Bäco Mercat, Ledlow, PYT and Orsa and Winston, all in Downtown Los Angeles, has opened Bäcoshop in Culver City. It showcases convenient lunch, dinner, and grab-and-go items, including the namesake filled flatbread and a selection of colorful salads, sides, and desserts. BäcoShop is committed to inspiring, high-quality ingredients and unique, bold flavors from around the world.

Centeno made the first bäco nearly a decade ago as a popular staff meal after long kitchen shifts—an adaptable flatbread base for savory meat, fish, or vegetables, combined with vibrant and tangy sauces, aromatic spices, and bright greens and herbs. At BäcoShop, the signature flatbread is made fresh every day and acts as a vessel for Centeno's creativity, available as a folded bäco or wrapped as a bäcorrito, riffing on flavors from the Eastern Mediterranean, Spain, North and East Africa, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and regions of Asia.
