In love with this hidden gem of a restaurant. The service is top notch and the food is impressive. The food is largely focused on the region of Oaxaca, so think lots of mole based dishes. What's great is that they also offer vegetarian and pescatarian options. Additionally they have a bar section, tables to accommodate large parties, and booths for a more private feel. Above all, if you are curious to open your palate from main stream Mexican food, definitely try this restaurant. read more

This was my first time trying mole (they gave us complimentary basket of chips with four different mole flavors) and to be honest, it wasn't my cup of tea. However, I can still tell that the quality of the mole was high as they were extremely flavorful and had a nice consistency. Especially loved the pumpkin seed one! 1. Cazuela Oaxaqueña (5/5): Very nice, love the assortment of meats and the melted cheese at the bottom tied everything together. 2. Mole Pistache & Menta (3.5/5) The sample pumpkin seed mole tasted exactly like crushed pumpkin seeds so I thought the pistachio mole would have the same strong pistachio nut flavor. Unfortunately, I could barely taste the pistachio as it was overpowered by the spice of the jalapeño. Ordered medium rib eye but it was more like well done, a little tough to chew. 3. Quesabirrias (4/5) You could never go wrong with quesabirrias. I did wish there was more birria sauce though so it would be more juicy Service (3/5): We ordered two agua fresca refills but the waiter never came back with our drinks! We had to kindly remind them. Also, when we asked for a to-go box, they simply gave us the box and then proceeded to take away our utensils. How are we supposed to put the leftover food in the box?? All in all, I thought this restaurant put a lot of love for only a few select dishes and for the slightly expensive price and mediocre service, I'm not sure if I would come again. read more

Haven't been here in a while and wanted some homemade Mexican food. The green chili enchiladas were spicy, a little too spicy for me. I shared the chicken with our granddaughter and we loved it!

I actually went to this restaurant by mistake. I had searched for a good Mexican restaurant near my relative's home in Alhambra and had a list of about 4 different places. I must have entered the wrong address into Google maps and wound up at La Diosa. My wife was driving so by the time I noticed the discrepancy in distance from my original choice, it wasn't worth changing course. It all worked out. LD is a cool restaurant located in a tiny shopping center with a smallish parking lot. It's got sort of a dia de los muertos theme which I dug. My wife is a big mole fan so it was a good place for her. My relatives ordered the enchiladas with green mole and the chile relleno with a chocolate based mole with just a hint of spice. My wife also ordered the chile relleno while I decided to have the chicken flautas. My flautas were nice and crispy and HUGE. The chicken was a bit dry but still tasty. I thought my meal was a 5 but the others in my party weren't quite as excited, Good but not raving about theirs. What we did agree on was the plantains in tequila sauce. The sauce is a thick, creamy sauce with just enough sweetness to pair amazingly with the fruit. Hands down 5 star. The service was top notch. A thorough explanation of their mole options and chips offered with samples of these choices. Our waiter kindly answered any questions we may have had since we were first time patrons to this establishment. The waitstaff was excellent about checking on us to ensure everything was copacetic. Undeniable 5 stars for service. I wavered in deciding on my rating because the rest of my group wasn't as hyped about the food as I was but dagnabbit, this is my review so I'm sticking with my 5 stars. I hope you try for yourself and see who you agree with. Now about the original place I intended to go to...where was...hmmm? Another excuse to make another trek to visit my fam or was this my devious plan all along??? read more

Popped in for lunch on a Saturday a few weeks back with my husband and son. The interior is cute, full Día de los Muertos, with sugar skulls and Catrinas. Maybe intentional since it's right in front of a cemetery? Service was pretty minimal. Servers came by to take orders, point out the moles with the chips, and drop off food, but that was about it. Not rude, just not attentive. Food was mixed. I went for the cochinita pibil... disappointing. The meat was super dry and hard to even swallow. Husband loved his enmoladas and my son almost finished his carne en su jugo. Chips and moles were solid to start though. It's a solid spot with great decor and potential (especially for mole fans), but I'd skip the cochinita next time and try something else. Worth another visit to explore the menu more. read more

Hmmm I would maybe give them a 2.5 stars. The food was average mexian food, they did have A GREAT VARIETY OF MOLE which was very tasty,I wasn't impressed with the price or the service. One thing that totally GETS ME MAD ! IS WHEN MEXIcan RESTAURANTS CHARGE FOR EXTRA SALSA ! ! THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.... Every Mexican wants more than one little container of salsa. To charge extra is SIN ! So they got me mad when they tried to charge. Well the food was whatever, so I won't be going back. The place was decorated very nicely... so if you like mole I would try it out.... read more

Came here in Día de los Muertes since it's across the street from the cemetery. Hear about this place through LA Taco and decided to give it a try. I had the chilaquiles verdes and my sister had the chorizo mollete. The food was delicious, good portions, flavorful and vibrant. Even though the food was good, the real star for me was the hot chocolate. Service was a little slow at the beginning but the food came out in a timely manner. The server was friendly and checked in on us often. I like the vibe in there, it's like a Mexican Fonda. read more

I have been meaning to try this place and I'm so glad I finally did! The food was absolutely delicious. We had the enfrijoladas (pictured) and the enmoladas (with three types of mole, didn't take a picture because too excited to eat) and both were wonderful. All of the food tasted fresh and the portions were big! It's also comfortable inside and the service was so nice. My only suggestion is to heat up the plates before serving, but not a big deal. I will definitely be back!!! read more

Incredible restaurant all around. From the service from every waiter that helped us to the food. Good mole can be hard to find but carne en su jugo is even harder & there's is one of the best I've had other than my family's recipe. For someone who grew up eating the best food in Guadalajara this place really stands out & I'd say is the best I've tried in the USA thus far. Will have to return for the food & pics as we devoured it before I could even take out my phone... Muchas gracias por su servicio y riquisima comida... read more

This restaurant is so pretty inside with a private parking lot. The servers were polite and very helpful. They start with a basket of chips with the different moles. Which is great because you get a preview of the different tastes. The service was quick and there were so many options that looked delicious. We went with green chilaquiles and mole enchiladas. Ambiance was great! Very family friendly. read more

Friday dinner we chose to visit La Diosa De Los Moles in Monterey Park. This is the second time we eat here. When we sat down, the waiter gave us chips with 3 or 4 kinds of Moles on the chips. They are all good. Some are sweet and some are little bit spicy. I wanted to try their Moles so I ordered Mahi Mahi, Oaxaqueno Mole Plate. It came with Mahi Mahi on top of the rice with the Moles sauce on it like gravy but thicker than gravy and sweet. I love it. They gave me warm tortilla too. Mahi Mahi cooked perfectly. I love my plate. But it's a big plate so I shared it with my daughter. She loved it as well. I also craved for corn. So I also ordered the Esquite. Taste good. My son-in-law ordered a dish called Enmoladas (Poblano, Mancha Pollo). I liked his Moles choice too. The restaurant has interesting decoration. The waiters are very nice and friendly. read more

I'd like to start by saying I don't care for chicken breast but if I'm eating mole I'm having chicken breast. The breast was very good a long with the julienne veggies and the rice is exceptional!!! The freshly made tortillas are very suple and delicious. Your started off with a mole chip sampler and next time for sure I'll try one of the other mole sauces since they are all delicious!!! They offer aguas frescas so I tried the Jamaica the was lightly sweetened with very good flavor. The establishment is very clean and the staff really nice.

Came with my aunts and wife to have dinner. The restaurant is in a small corner and we missed it and accidentally went one drive way too far, about 10 parking spots. The restaurant was bright and colorful. The staff were friendly and the ladies that checked on us were nice. We ordered guacamole which my wife enjoyed, and we each ate something different. We all enjoyed what we ordered and topped the night off with a cafe de olla and desserts churros were alright more on the chewy tough side and the flan was what you'd expect from a flan. We'd definitely be back read more

We went for lunch on a weekday. There is a small parking lot and street parking available. The decor is awesome. It is vibrant. The music was playing, but not too loud. It was just right to be able to enjoy, but still hear your table during conversation. The food was delicious. We liked that there were vegetation, pescatarian , and a variety of other protein options. I had the salmon with mole oaxaqueno. The salmon was cooked perfectly. It was so tasty. The veggies were perfect too. I can't wait to try to other types of mole they make. read more

A sign posted outside shown "Under new mgmt", so I don't know how good the good was in the past... There's different kind nd of Mole sauce available on the menu, and the wait staff was kind enough to offer me some sampling in various Mole sauce. This is how I realize none of their Mole flavors is good pumpkin, smoky, peanut, etc...I couldn't taste any of the particular flavors as it's supposed to be. Quality is not there. Server lady is friendly and trying her best to introduce each Mole flavors. I ordered a breakfast dish recommended by the server: Mole sauce on the open sandwich, it's topped w/chopped chorizo n fried egg. The presentation is okay... black mole,， red chorizo, why egg,... However, it's really not a tasty dish. It's no better than can food. I hv never yet had bad food in any other Mexican/ Oxacan restaurants. read more

Going so many years to visit our familia across the street at Resurrection Cemetery and juggling where to go eat. Now we have a great place to go to fuel up before we visit our love ones and share our precious time together. Wifey was craving mole for her birthday and we know the flavors of Michelin star Chef Rocio Camacho. Our server Jerry was so helpful in helping choose the right combinations in so many complex flavors. Mom got the Chuletas, Wifey love the Shrimp, Pancho enjoyed the Cochinta Pibil, My daughter and I got the Enmoladas with the choice of 3 different moles. The Esquite and Queso Fundido were very flavorful. We shall return for the Desayunos! read more

After my mother passed I never thought I'd find a place to offer the type of Mole she made me for my birthday. This place is the place that tasted just like my Oaxacan mother made. we were greeted kindly and were seated right away. The staff was so kind and attentive. They had AC on a vey hot day. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their food and the ambiance. I wish we had more time to stay longer but we had a movie to catch. Definitely will be back. Unfortunately feel the need to gate keep. read more

- Chilaquiles Verde: I would skip this. No eggs, just chilaquiles, rice, and beans for $15. Flavor of everything was good but it's a pass for next time. - Empanadas: If you like cheese, this is a hit! It seemed like each one was filled with shredded zucchini and cheese, with the different fillings. I've never had corn truffle and I think it was the one with the mushroom like addition. My favorite was Office the shrimp. - Pork Chops with Mole: Pass on the pork chops. They were overcooked to the point of hockey pucks. I liked that the tortillas were handmade. It also seems like they have refills on their Agua Fresca here, yum! read more

I was actually very close to giving this place a 5 star review. Parking was easily accessible. We were sat right away and I have to say the food was absolutely delicious. It honestly felt like you were visiting your Tia in Mexico who made the best homemade warm tortillas and cafecito. I'm not a mole sauce person but the green mole sauce was good. The two servers were very warm and friendly. Where I had to change my 5 star to a 4 was the attentiveness of the service. I felt like I had to keep getting their attention to get things. They were very friendly just didn't check in as I would have liked. Other then that, I would definitely come back and try the other food items. The crepe dessert was good as well. A must try. read more

Jerry was our server...friendly helpful attentive...5/5 we felt warmly welcomed thanks to Jerry. We noticed it was a definite team effort, we met at least two other servers, bringing chips or water or the check...I like that everyone was helpful and helpful to each other. Yay teamwork!! 5/5 The ambiance. Cheery spacious, colorful, there's even a small stage for live music. Great artwork. A genuinely great fun yet relaxed vibe. 5/5 The food. 4/5. The menu is interesting...you can even get a grasshopper taco!! And so many different mole. We both decided to get enchiladas but with different sauces and heat. She got the enchilada carne asada. 3/5 I got the chicken with their signature mole. 5/5 servers fulfilled our request for extra plates so we could share....the carne asada was served outside the cheese enchilada, the steak was thin and a bit on the dry tough side...but my three chicken enchiladas were generously stuffed, beautful to look at. I swt aside two to take home to mom to try. I loved the pumpkin seed horchata. Grateful we were given extra metal cups so i could share the delicious horchata 5/5....and the jamaica 5/5. My companion had not tried either...we both really had not eaten mole before...so it was great we got chips with dollops of three different mole to sample. We arrived at about 12:30 on a Sunday, the place was busy so happy to see the community supporting this new business. Jerry said they've only been open for 8 months, with an original location in Bellflower. My friend and I loved this place as soon as we entered, and we promised to return with friends in tow. Highly recommend. Relaxed fun dining experience. Welcome to the neighborhood!! TIP: get dessert!!! The caramel filled creme churro!! 10/5 and so beautfully plated!! Everything was plated artfully!! A fiesta for the eyes!! Don't miss out on the rice...I could've eaten a bowl of it. Looks plain but most definitely isn't!! And so fluffy. 5/5 to the rice!! read more

Place is clean including restrooms, we ordered mole enchiladas with three different moles. We picked pipián verde, mole oaxaqueño and mole poblano , we liked our food. The reason I took one star is because the service of the waitress could be better. The food didn't take too long to be ready, but she was not checking on us in case we needed something, she took a bit to give us a refill and even longer to finalize the bill. They had two other tables only, so they were not busy to be that slow. But regarding the food and flavor, no complaints! read more

Stopped here for dinner, and it did not disappoint! I'm not the biggest fan of mole but this place made me reconsider that notion. Items ordered: Guacamole chipotle: 8/10, great flavor and served with restaurant style chips & crispy corn tortilla Esquite: 10/10 super good! Especially on a cold day, it'll warm you right up. So glad they use sweet corn! Oaxaqueno chicken: 8.5/10, great flavor and good protein to carb ratio! Again mole itself is 10/10, I can't get enough. Comes with a side of homemade tortillas which I always appreciate. Salmon en flor de calabaza: 9/10 amazing flavor and again, they don't hold out on portion size which we greatly appreciate it.
