The cochinita pibil was sensational 10/10. Brings back good food memories from my childhood. Also- I don't know how they make it but they have the most moist cornbread. Worth the drive read more

We were visiting the area for a show at the Palladium and stopped here on our way home the next day for lunch. We ordered lechón, poc chuc, and cochinita pibil tacos plus an order of papadzules which was *entirely* too much food but my SO really wanted me to try them also. I am a huge fan of poc chuc and cochinita already and these were fantastic. It was the first time trying lechon for me and that was also a winner. Last but not least, I pretty much want papadzules for breakfast every day. Where have you been all my life? Beans were top notch and the salsa was not messing around. We come down from the Bay Area occasionally for a concert and I can guarantee the next time we're here, we'll be back. read more

Absolutely delicious! Grabbed a Too good to go bag from here and it was a phenomenal deal. I'm not 100% sure what I got, it was a plate with rice and beans and a pulled meat, possibly pork. It was incredibly tasty and the worker was super nice! I also got a bar that tasted like it was made with banana or plantain and that was also pretty good. Next time I'm in the area I would definitely come back read more

I was lucky enough to get La Flor De Yucatán for a catered lunch at work, and it was delicious and affordable! I ordered 3 tacos and got one with chicken and the other two with the cochinita pibil (slow roasted pork). They were topped with pickled onions, cilantro, lemon juice, plus I asked for avocado salsa and habanero sauce. The habanero sauce is no joke, I had to refill my water in the middle of eating because it was so spicy. Not only was the staff so kind and friendly (they told me to eat the chicken taco first because the pork flavor is so unique it would overpower the chicken), but the food was so flavorful and perfectly filling. I can't believe I didn't even get a picture of my tacos, I was too excited to eat them! read more

It's the holiday season and I was in the mood for tamales. I was working in the Pico-Union area and saw on Google maps that I was close to La Flor de Yucatan. I've only visited once and remembered enjoying their food, but it's been probably been almost a decade or so since my last visit. Their recommended item is the cochinita pibil so I ordered it in a taco and a tamal. This is a Yucatan bakery, so you will feel you are in a different world looking at the menu. It's not your typical Mexican panaderia (bakery). You will definitely want to order the tamal colado and other tamales maybe. It is unlike any tamale I've had. The tamal is super smooth like a pudding consistency served in a banana leaf. You'll want to order their specialty cochinita pibil and a variety Yucatecan pan dulce to try. The cochinita pibil was delicious, but I think have had more flavorful versions before at other restaurants. I think their strength is in their tamales. This deserves a place on every "best tamales in Los Angeles" list. You'll probably want to call in your order to make sure they have tamales when you arrive as it's the holiday season and it seems that they sell out of their tamales. The service is friendly and helpful at the counter. If I lived in this neighborhood, it would be the kind of place I would frequent for breakfast or lunch. The bakery is the epitome of hole-in-the-wall. You're not coming for the ambience, but to try some exciting regional Mexican food. It looks like they've modernized their menu, but the bakery feels like a time warp. There's nothing trendy or hip about this place. The menu feels out of place being so modern looking in design. There isn't any place to sit inside because the bakery is very small, but they do have a small seating area with tables outside. Parking is available on the street at the meters or the neighborhood if you're lucky. There's also the Domino's Pizza parking lot. There is probably room for one customer in their mini lot in the back. La Flor de Yucatan should be on every local and visiting food lover's list to try in Los Angeles. Just looking at their menu gives you a feeling excitement and adventure. For a moment, you can pretend that you are on vacation perhaps somewhere in the Yucatan. read more

I had the 3 taco combo. The portions are generous. Overall good but the chicken was a bit on the dry side. I got avocado sauce on top along with the picked onion which really added flavor. Service was friendly. read more

This place is a local favorite for us. Being native yucatecans this place definitely helps us feel closer to home. This place serves authentic yucatecan food. We love eating the tamales yucatecos which are chicken filled tamales. The panuchos a a bit on the dryer side but still good in flavor. There empanadas are always cooked to perfection. One of my top favorite things is the ojaldra which is a sugary ham and cheese dessert. It definitely is a delicacy. I wanted to show some love to something from my culture that is delicious. read more

I've lived in the area my whole life and I've never been here. What a surprise!!! These restaurants are the best. A hole in the wall with amazing food. The restaurant is small located right on the corner of Hoover and 18th st. Street parking is available. I had no issues with that. There are a couple of tables set up outside. This restaurant is also a bakery. It looks like they have a great selection of bread available. They also have QR code posted for convenient ordering. I ordered the Two taco and Tamale Combo. The tacos were Cochinita Pibil. The Cochinita Pibil was very tender, juicy and flavorful. The lady working offered extra habanero sauce. That just amplified the flavor. The perfect amount of spice. The tamale I picked was very similar to the Central American tamales. I personally loved it. Will be coming back. read more

The building is small, and there are only a few folding tables outside to sit. No frills, but the tacos are a thrill. There's a Combo of 2 tacos and 1 Tamal, and the Tamal de Chaya is simple but amazing. Cochinita pibil is a soup-dripping, warm and savory with a lift of citrus. This may be the only time I've ever had turkey taste good. The relleno negro puts sweet, black achiote on a bland bird and I am obsessed! I had to order in Spanish and if the spiciness of my salsa is any indication, I may be the most gringa they've ever seen. Good new, tacos like this need no sauce and they are among LA's best. read more

Got a surprise bag on Too Good To Go for $5.99. It was totally worth it! I got a chicken, roasted veggie, salad and rice meal along with a bag of bread. The meal was super flavorful! The bread was a bit dry but dipped in cafezito i know theyll make a great breakfast read more

Very small hole in the wall neighborhood bakery that also has delicious Yucatan/ Mayan style cuisine. I'm not too familiar with the nuances with different regional Mexican food so I apologize in advance if I appear to be blatantly naive. I've only been once but already the cochinita pibil and the colado tamale feel like must haves. I've wanted to come here for some time now and it was on some top tamale list in the area. I was near DTLA and thought it was the perfect time to go. I ended up ordering the two taco and tamale plate. So glad I did! For the tacos, I got the cochinita pibil and for the tamale, I got the colado (or the fluffy) tamale. I also got a hot chocolate or the champurrado even though it was a bit warm outside and in the middle of the day. The cochinita pibil tacos were just so darn juicy! Tender, citrusy pork oozing with flavor. Topped with the colorful onions with a nice little spice kick from the sauce. I squeezed some lemon on them for a bit zesty tartness. So juicy I had to hover over the plate so it wouldn't get everywhere. The colada tamale was something I don't think I knew existed. I had to look it up and noticed the interesting method it is typically made. As the name/description suggests, the tamale was super fluffy and my fork went through it like it was a slice of moist cake, except it was savory and not sweet. After a few bites, I poured the sauce over the top. That sauce was quite spicy. Between this tamale and the tacos, I was in heaven. Seriously the flavors and textures are right up my alley. The champurrado was fine. It was tasty, but couldn't tell if it was homemade. This place is a very tiny spot and I think there is only street parking available. I found a spot less than a block away no problem. Also, the menus inside seemed to be all in Spanish so I was using my high school comprehension in order to read it. There was a gentleman there that spoke perfect English that also helped me walk through the menu and ordering. Seating outside is limited and the place is probably more conducive to take out. I really wanna come back and try the other tamales as well as some of the other menu items. read more

Stumbled into this hidden gem after a friend wanted to try Yucatecan food. I was excited to see such a varied menu, but this also made it hard for me to choose (which isn't a bad thing). I tried the Cochinita Pibil, Lechón, and Chirmole tacos, which were all unique and equally delicious. The salsas made here are sooo flavorful, and not too spicy for those that don't like too much heat. I also tried a Dtozobichay tamale, and it was to die for; very similar to Central American tamales. The service can be a bit slow, but the food more than makes up for it. Lastly the outdoor seating is great option if you want to try their food on the spot. read more

Wowwwwwww The manager named Mark is a no no He speaks PERFECT a English but he's so rude Arguing with me that the food we received was all good and perfect First I used to order from this place all the time Grew up in Mexico I know how the freaking tamales and panadería supposed to be like I loved their bakery food mind you I always got it in the morning Made a huge mistake ordering a HUGE ORDER for a fam gathering Never again will I order again!!! Don't ever ever get it when mark is there and it's 5 in the afternoon on a Saturday ! Hojaldra whole pan my favvvvvvvv once in the past was so so so hard on the bottom that you can't chew through you can just get the sugar and cheese on the top and the BEST part is the bottom The flaky crust was so darn good before Like addictive good So the manager told me to send the photos to his personal cellphone and once I did he is absolutely positively darn sure hojaldra is perfect and tamales as well. I'm shaking right now writing this because of how inappropriate and unprofessional this manager named mark was. He was saying hojaldra is perfect tamales he just had it and it was fine there's nothing he can do Blah blah blah Tamales tasted like it's been out for past 10 hours then just heated it up on hot steamer for 2 minutes When I opened it it tasted like a box cardboard Am I going crazy ? What happened to their Yucatán tamales I used to love ? i made my other family members to taste it and they literally threw them back out It was disgusting one of them the queso one went bad So so disappointed I understand it's pandemic still and it's tough But this is not okay. The quality literally went downhill since I had it last And being the manager as well the way he handled it Was the worst he could have handled Please get another manager he speaks English perfect yes but with him y'all will get worse because the way he manages it everything should taste perfect he did everything. Right and YOU as a customer is wrong !!! So get lost Ok got it So sad to lose my once favorite place in all of Los Angeles but Never coming back read more

I recently discovered this hidden gem and wish I had stopped in earlier!

I can't go a week without ordering from here; small unassuming bakery and restaurant serving some of the best food I've had in LA.

With some minor Instagram research, I was able to find this place through one of Jonathan Gold's posts. He posted this delicious looking "puerco con frijol" sandwich and my eyes almost watered at how beautifully delicious the sandwich looked. Who would have ever though pork and beans could look like art. *photo to follow* I work in Los Angeles and I mapped La Flor which was only a 3 mile drive but 18 minutes - typical LA I walked in at noon on a Monday (since they only serve puerco con frijol on Monday's) and politely ordered a puerco con frijol sandwich. At first the cashier look a bit confused so I showed the picture of a sandwich and she knew exactly what I was referring too. Their dish is usually served in a plate but I'm assuming that JG brilliantly asked for it in sandwich form I could not to devour this dish. The order was ready and I opened the wrapper - took a bite and was instantly in La Flor De YC&B heaven. Perfect bread with the right amount of crunch and tender pork and black beans. They also utilized radishes which to me was genius. It almost served as an onion substitute and gave it a little more texture. I was so happy about this. I can't wait to go back and try some of the pan dulces and other dishes. Thank you La Flor! read more

Excellent tacos. Server was very helpful explaining the menu and giving recommendations. Would definitely go back

4.5 Thank you Bill Esparza for another wonderful recommendation!! Flor de Yucatan is a sweet lil 40+ year old Mayan/Yucatan bakery selling excellent cochinita pibil, cheap breakfast burritos, Belizean specialties (eg salbutes and panades), and massive conchas/various breads. They have rotating daily specials, so I decided on the Tues special: Chirmole (aka Relleno Negro, a Belizean turkey stew) in a taco, a cochinita pibil taco, and a Yucatan Kibbe all for only $7.66 w/ tax!!!! Quick Tips: -Street Parking only. Not too difficult to find free neighborhood parking. -Minimal seating. A 5top inside and three plastic 4tops outside. -Yucatan cuisine utilizes lots of Habanero. They warn and ask you if you want the spicy sauce or not. It's a solid burn! On a scale of 1-Howlin'(10) it's a 4/10z -Chirmole is an ancient mole made with fragrant Recado paste (chiles de arbol, cumin, allspice, cloves, etc). -Kibbeh (bulgur meat croquette) is NOT just in the Middle East (which is usually lamb)!!!!! I've also had Brazilian kibbeh (has the addition of mint and oregano). Yucatan Kibbeh (has the addiction of achiote and habanero) is served with escabeche (pickled) red onions and a pico de gallo. -Soft drinks (refrigerated), Yucatan hot sauces/snacks, and various desserts like flan and cannoli are served here. -GET THE COCHINITA PIBIL Taste Kibe 5/5 Large, spicy fried beef and bulgar croquette. Fulll of flavor. Came cut in half and loaded with escabeche (pickled) red onions and pico de gallo. Reminded me of falafel (everything is mixed together unlike Middle Eastern kibbeh with ground meat concentrated in the center). Loved this. Cochinita Pibil 5/5 Spicy habanero salsa on top! Juicy, tender, citrusy pork layered in two fresh corn tortillas. Drippings. Ugh. Chirmole 3.5/5 Spicy habanero salsa on top! The turkey was dry, so I asked for more sauce and it tasted much better!! It's thin, smokey and complex. Personally I prefer Oaxacan mole negro (thicker, sweeter) but the chirmole is very good. Price 5/5 $2.50 a taco is a steal. Kibe is also $2.50 each! Service 6/5 Superb service. It got busy, but she was so sweet and apologetic profusely for the dry taco. I will be back!!!!' read more
