    It's called the Tlayuda vegetariana (vegan). bean paste Oaxaca quesillo Broccoli Cauliflower Without the rest of the things. When I asked if there's anything on there that isn't mentioned in the menu he thought and said pork. So I asked for no pork. Hot tip. It's not spicy so that's good. Apparently I'm not a fan of quesillo (not to self) My partner had chilaquiles chorizo - she would have it again. Doesn't come with egg, which she would add. Coffee had a ton of cinnamon, that she liked but very sweet. Huge portions.

    Carne asada fries
    Amanda A.

    Me and my husband decided to check this place out as we were in the area. When we arrived, there was only one other couple dining there. The restaurant was practically empty. We were immediately seated. It did take our server a while to take our drinks order, but we weren't in a hurry, so we didn't mind. My husband ordered the Horchata. He said it was "okay" as he isn't used to the drink being mixed with lime flavor. I ordered the water. We ordered our food. My husband ordered the Carne Asada fries, and I ordered the chilaquiles with green sauce, sunny side up eggs and chicken for an additional $3. We waited about 20-30 minutes for our food, and it arrived. My husband enjoyed his fries and said the meat was good and tasted fresh. I also really enjoyed my chilaquiles. This place is more on the pricey side, but still good to check out if you are in the mood for Oaxaca food!

    Enchiladas de mole with black beans!
    Daniel C.

    Super glad I decided to stop by here for dinner! I ordered the enchiladas de mole with a side of black beans and a half sweet/half unsweetened (basically half sweet) cafe de olla. The waiter brought over chips and salsa which I killed almost completely before the entree came - that salsa was amazing. The food came out and it was smothered in the velvety, chocolatey mole that I love so much. This spot makes theirs a little more on the sweet chocolate side than most places, but I realized that I prefer it this way, so it was perfect. The enchiladas come full of shredded chicken and by the 3rd one, I was stuffed. I will say the black beans were a surprise, because I was expecting whole black beans, but instead they were a puree. Which, were great, don't get me wrong, but I was not expecting that. Overall a great meal, friendly staff and reasonable prices! Definitely will be back!

    Enchiladas de pollo con mole

    Nice place - seemed to be clean and staff were friendly though they probably needed an additional server. Food was good not great, and portions were generous. I will return to try other menu items.

    Huevos Rancheros , CHAPULINES , chilaquiles

    We enjoyed Sunday brunch here , I ordered the huevos rancheros and my husband ordered Chilaquiles verdes with carne asada and eggs . We also tried the chapulines and they were prepared really well. We came from San Diego and I'm glad we chose LA Oaxaca Restaurant for breakfast we were not disappointed. Really good food. Great service as well and the cafe de olla

    Delicious food and very friendly staff. The tlayida is delicous. Everything that we've had so far has been Delicious.

    Tlayuda Mixta

    The food is great and so is the customer service. I really enjoyed everything. Definitely recommend the tlayudas.

    Barbacoa de res

    The food is too expensive and the meat is poor quality. Portions are awful. I wouldn't suggest this place to anyone.

    I've been wanting to check out this place when they first opened. It did not disappoint! I had the enchiladas de pollo con mole, and it's VERY filling! The mole was rich and well balanced. Very flavorful. It's a small restaurant with a homey vibe. Great for lunch or dinner, although they also serve breakfast until late into the afternoon.

    Chicken with mole
    C.E. C.

    Would go back for authentic Oaxacan dishes. Mole with chicken was great as was salad. First time trying Tlayuda with chorizo and it was yummy. They give large portions and serve a shot of mezcal with tasty garnishes. Cute decor and parking is manageable. Friendly service in another quality eatery in Koreatown!

    Elena M.

    the server was friendly, outgoing, good volume of music we could hear each other, feels homey and the food is SO good!!! I shared with my friend and we got full. Plates are big, tasty, and filling.

    Really delicious

    I tried the Asada fries and they were delicious, and the green enchiladas are amazing.

Now when you pull up originally you might think, "am I in the right place" but once you park and get into the courtyard, it is LOVELY! Amazing ambience! There is a bocce set up, string lights. It is a little slice of oasis in the middle of the fashion district. The restaurant itself - beautiful. I couldn't ask for more. Absolutely perfect in my book. Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried. Unfortunately my friends had gone to Funke the night before so they were comparing the squash blossoms and Funke won out, but they still liked Dama's! Small plates were enough for the 3 of us. The service was quick and attentive. Parking was easy for us. I will definitely be back!

The staff are lovely humans who really seem to care about their customers. We have some faves on the menu. The bean dip is fabulous and I'm addicted to the baby gem salad. They have recently amped up the filling in the delicious crispy squash blossoms and I love the acidity and heat. The fish is also a hit in my books. One dish that doesn't work for me is the lamb chops, which is a shame since it's my favorite protein. I've ordered them multiple times with clear instructions on temperature and have found them overcooked and tough. The beef tostada was just ok. Whilst I loved the pickled veg on the side, the beef was underseasoned. It wasn't bad - just not up to the standard of other dishes. The vibe in the place is welcoming and the restaurant is nicely appointed. We will continue to be regulars and it's really worth trying if you haven't been yet.

They guide you to the entrance which about one hundred feet north. Walking in you're shown many awards, culminating in a 2025 Michelin. There must have been a special occasion to be welcomed by music that was incredibly loud. We sat down, and I couldn't hear myself think, or the waiters voices. We asked for another table, but unfortunately that brought a certain type of attitude from the host. I'm sure the music would have been nice if it wasn't as loud, on amplified speakers. After finally being seated, near the bar, the service seemed great. Seating seemed plentiful, but I can now see why a reservation is necessary. To start, the appetizer we chose was a queso fundido which was ok on their smaller tortillas. I must have been spoiled by Chalio's homemade giant tortillas. Chalio's on Atlantic by the way. Guelageutza uses sautéed mushrooms, and they garnished it with this guacamole that didn't really taste that good. Mushrooms on the fundido didn't seem right, but individually they tasted great. The chorizo was ok. My gf likes to try those types of apps. They're not known for that, so I can let it pass. Our order was taken, food was quick, and hot. The attentiveness of the staff was good, but their smiles were absent. Must have had a long day. I got the black Mole chicken, my gf got the enchilada negras(black mole) topped with their tesajo. My dish was good, hot, and full of mole, which was delicious as well. They served it with their tiny homemade corn tortillas. They have several types of mole. My gf got the enchiladas Oaxaceñas and it looked good until I took a bite of the enchiladas. They just poured mole over the tortillas and that's where the flavor went flat. The tortillas were dry and not dipped in the sauce. Traditionally in my family, we fry our tortillas lightly in oil, or lard, and roll them in the sauce. My gf didn't even finish them. I ate all of my meal, and I took her enchiladas home. They were even worse as leftovers. I tried to order their traditional flan, but they had ran out, so I ordered their tres leches. It was ok. I was really disappointed that they ran out of flan though. All in all, this establishment was ok. The atmosphere seemed very manufactured, but I've never had the pleasure of visiting Oaxaca. The mole negro was delicious on the chicken. Seeing that It was recommended on Yelp, I agreed with the statement of picking that dish. The bathrooms were great with a good amount of stalls. I can't say that about a lot of good delicious Mexican food restaurants here in LA. They seem to be more of an afterthought with some. Reminding myself this was Michelin rated restaurant, I didn't get that same feeling with the food though. This now, will give me an excuse to look into why a restaurant is rated as such to understand why that matters so much.

My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.
