The food is great, but the service could really use improvement. If it weren't for the service, we would come here much more often. There seems to be a lack of empathy, especially toward new customers who are trying the menu for the first time. When we asked questions about the food or drinks, the responses felt short and somewhat dismissive, which made the experience uncomfortable. Because of this, we would probably choose takeout over dining in. Overall, the food is very good, but the service takes away from the experience. read more

I have been to Las 15 Salsas many times and the service and quality are top-tier every time. The portions are big and everything is seasoned so well. Pictures included are the dishes I ordered at the most recent 2 visits: -Carne asada quesadilla with a mango margarita -Menudo (ordered on Sunday) with agua de Jamaica & homemade tortillas. There is an outside patio with lights and indoor booth seating as well. The manager makes the best margaritas!!! read more

The mole here is epic! Ordered the enmolada with cheese and it definitely hit the spot. If I had to guess I'm confident their mole is made from scratch. Also got their fried banana and it came with condensed milk and chocolate sprinkles. Mind blown. Ambiance is fast casual. Fatima the server was awesome. read more

I saw this spot driving down Hatcher and love a restaurant with many different salsas but come to find out the name is deceptive. They only call it 15 salsas because they are near 15th? I went with a friend on a Friday evening around 630 and there was no one there. That maybe should have been a sign? The dining area is small but cute and looks like there is a nice outdoor area as well. The waiter came over to us a few minutes after seating us but not with chips and salsa. That is when I asked about the 15 salsas or lack of 15 salsas. We had to ask for chips and then he brought us two hot sauces that looked house made but no real salsa. Chips were average and looked like they came from the bottom of the bag. I ordered a skinny margarita and it was also average. I asked for not a lot of ice but he must have misunderstood me and gave me a ton of ice. My friend got a house marg and I tasted it to confirm the mix was terrible. Now I am mostly a vegetarian so when I see an interesting veggie item on the menu I must try it. I got the squash blossom empanadas. The corn tortilla was clearly house made and it tasted pretty good until I got to the squash blossom. It was so gross I couldn't even eat anymore. It ruined it. Also before I couldn't eat anymore I ordered the pico de gallo because it came with nothing except a sad little lettuce garnish. The pico was tasteless. My friend got the vegetarian burrito and she enjoyed it. I had a little bite and also thought it was average. Overall I was unfortunately not a fan. I need a salsa bar!!! read more

Great spot for good Oaxacan food! Food: we ordered this dish to share which was a crispy tortilla with cheese, sayce and beans which was good but pretty spicy! I got the mole enchiladas which was absolutely delicious - probably one of the best mole I had on this trip. We also tried the three different moles and I think the mole negro which is the traditional one is the best Price: good for quantity Service: very nice and attentive workers Ambience: it's a small low key restaurant so nothing special about the ambience but still pleasent! Has a lot of seating read more

I love coming here. Everything is warm and flavorful. Service was great, we were well taken care of. The music was perfect and made the ambiance more nostalgic. The mole is my absolute favorite and cannot get enough of it. I highly recommend the enmoladas for everyone. It's the perfect dish to share and make a mess with. Pay them a visit and enjoy! read more

Went with friends for dinner last night. We started with the mole pollo tlyuda. It was a perfect way to start the meal and easy to share for the 6 of us. I then ordered the Amarillo pollo empeñada. It was huge compared to any other empeñada I've had. It was packed with flavor and I cleaned my plate. It was great. Overall a great experience even with a larger group. They sat us quickly and were great with service. This little neighborhood gem has been a favorite of ours and will continue as long as they keep putting out these quality mezcal drinks and food. Truly the best Oaxacan food in Phoenix. read more

Great food. It's got a nice Authentic feel about it, small but quaint! But the food and drinks are great! Two thumbs up!

We came in for a simple family dinner and left already planning our next visit! The service was wonderful: our waitress was so friendly and kind, even taking the time to acknowledge our baby, which meant a lot. We tried the watermelon agua fresca and horchata which both were refreshing and delicious. I also ordered the Zipolite, which had a unique smoky flavor that blended beautifully with the other ingredients. For food, we had the carne asada burrito and a torta, and wow... both were packed with flavor, especially with their salsas on top. The place itself is spotless, perfectly sized, and decorated with stunning Oaxaca art that gives it such a warm vibe. Overall, it was an incredible experience, and I honestly can't wait to come back! read more

Great place, and delicious authentic food! The tlayudas are to die for, so are the soups must try.

Truly authentic food and overall experience. Everything tasted fresh from the tortillas to the black beans, all seasoned well with exotic spices and unique flavors. The only thing making it a 4 not a 5 star was the live music was way too loud. If in the area try to stop in and bring an appetite! read more

It's a good size restaurant that can probably sit indoors about 30 people and their outdoor patio is pretty spacious too. The service was fantastic from the minute we walked in. Now I do have to say I did not want to take a whole star away for not having two items in their menu because the food was really tasty and true to the region of Oaxaca. Their agua frescas were so delicious and served so cute. The food presentation was also a plus. read more

Fun little neighborhood restaurant. We tried it for lunch. The black Mole was good, and the enchilada trio was also good. Nice to have them in the area. Food - 5, service - 4 ( friendly but slower) read more

Location; Found this place from a Foodie on TikTok, it is located on Hatcher road - small and itimate inside. Food; Very authentic food first ordered the memelas, so tasty and yummy. My main course was the Chili Relleno with just cheese, and it was really tasty. Everything was homemade, and fresh. I did order a michelado, that was very tasty. Service; everyone was super friendly, they literally crush the ice for all drinks and you can hear it. read more

That food was outstanding highly recommend, , everything that ordered was amazing, definitely come back!!!

Found this place a few weeks ago on our way to the Arizona Humane Society. The location is not the best and I wouldn't come alone at night. However, once you are inside the food and service make up for the location. The staff is friendly and the food is authentically delicious. My husband and I love tacos We decided next time to try something new as this restaurant is known for its Oaxaca food. I am not a big chocolate fan so I am not sure if I'll like it. However, I do love tamales and spicy food! What is Oaxaca cuisine???? Great question!! Oaxaca cuisine is from southern Mexico in the city of Oaxaca. Oaxaca is well known for its ingredients of chocolate which is prepared in preparation for hot species. Oaxacan-style tamales will have variations of mole sauce (mole sauce - local papers and Mexican chocolate. This is my year to step out of my comfort food zone and try new things! read more

Las 15 Salsas Restaurant Oaxaqueño - Tacos!!! - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Absolutely incredible. A must if you visit or live in Phoenix. My sister and I stopped by having never tried Oaxacan cuisine, and we are now big fans. First of all, I have never liked mole until I tried theirs in the enchilada trio. I also am not a big fan of meat but the tlayuda tradicional is mindblowing. I highly recommend this spot!!! The service was friendly and super helpful with the menu! The restaurant had spots to sit outside or in. We went around lunch time during a weekday so it was not crowded at all. read more

I was looking for something new to try and Las 15 did not disappoint! Las 15 Salsas is a nice restaurant with a cozy ambiance. Entering we were greeted fairly quickly by a friendly hostess. She was quick, but was the only one on the floor. The hostess was also the server, food runner, and busser; as a result she was extremely busy. Fortunately, aside from small wait times, she was still very attentive. The menu has great options and both plates I ordered were delicious. Along with the great flavors the presentation was outstanding! read more

Las 15 Salsas Restaurant Oaxaqueño - Enchilada Trio - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I had written a disappointed review 11 years ago, but deleted it before our latest visit, hoping that the experience would be different this time. It was not. The service was disinterested at best. The 3 mole platter disappointed--the flavor was bad and the portion size was minuscule. The mole negro was super amargo/bitter--not sure if they were trying to replicate chichilo? Either way--not very tasty. The memelas were good and the amarillo was, actually, the best we have tasted in the U.S. The price was exorbitant--almost $100 and we only drank water. For those who are looking for true Oaxacan food, I don't think you are going to find it here. read more

Found this place via an article on AZ Central. Sounded interesting so stopped in for dinner on a Friday night. The place is easy to find with plenty of parking. The restaurant itself is good sized with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating. The ambiance is nothing special, but not off-putting. Neighborhood and family run vibe. The menu is fairly large. I was interested in trying the more regional items so I passed on the typical enchiladas, tacos, burritos, etc.. I went for guacamole & tlayuda Chips to start. Quite tasty with a good bit of spice. The chips are interesting - not the typical chips you would get in a Mexican restaurant. For an entree, I went for a tlayuda combinada. It is a large tlayuda chip covered with refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and a mix of meats (pork, chorizo, and beef). It was quite good! Different than other Mexican dishes I have tried. If I have any downgrades, it would be the service. It was quite slow. We were not in a hurry so it was not that big of a deal. That said, it might not be ideal for you. Worth a look. N*joy! read more

I ordered the Enchilada trio and chips and salsa from Grubhub. I really liked all the sauces that came with the dish. The chips and salsa were good but not as impressive as my entre. This Oaxacan style Mexican food was fresh, good and very authentic. read more

Amazing quality for the price! They import many of their ingredients directly from Mexico, and they have flavors and dishes that are hard to find in the US. Their selection of high quality mezcal is impressive, and they are connoisseurs who will help you find the perfect pairing with your meal. Vegans may be challenged to find alternatives, but vegetarians have lots of options. This is food for value! read more

Estube en este restaurante la semana pasada y ordene una torta de pollo , le la torta llebaba una pechuga de pollo enteray con mucha grasa Peeo lo que me impacto fue ver a lado papas de bolsa les juro que nomas comí una esquina del pan porque también el pan súper seco . No se que está pasando con los cocineros y aparte de malo súper caro read more

The moles de fiesta was a great sampling of three of the moles. The mole sauces were great, but one of the pieces of chicken was more bone than meat. The watermelon agua fresca was super refreshing and tasty! I wish the interior was painted fun colors like it is in some of the older photos, now everything is grey. read more

This is a hidden gem! It's so cute outside when you pull up.. Then you walk inside and it feels clean (although, it's a little dark inside), good ambiance, no loud, obnoxious music. I ordered caldo de pollo to go. The side of white rice was very good. The corn tortillas... so good! If I closed my eyes I could've been back in Mexicali. If you've never had Mexican corn tortillas (not found in any major American chain- death to Mission tortillas), order them here. Then order extra to take home and eat them warm with queso fresco as a nice snack. Next up: the caldo (chicken broth soup with chicken, carrots, potato, and calabaza- something close to zucchini). The caldo was not the best I've had, but it was still good. I was surprised that they used Idaho potatoes instead of yellow potato. Two good pieces of chicken in there. The broth was less rich than I expected and it was red. I was expecting a clear broth, colored a little yellow by seasonings and the carrots. When garnished with PLENTY of lime, cilantro, onion, and maybe more salt and added hot sauce or jalapeños, this soup was pretty good. More basic than I was hoping for. I will definitely be going back to try other offerings! read more

Super legit oaxacan food in Phoenix. It has cute outdoor patio or indoor seating. I would eat here everyday. We got the fiesta 3 mole plates which has red, black and estofado (stew) moles. This plate is good for two people. And also the tamal qaxaqueno was delicious. It is wrapped in banana leaf, with chicken inside and soft maza. Side note, the place also sells oaxacan coffee to go, grasshopper snack in Chile lime and mole blocks to make at home. read more

Had the mole blanco and my husband had the 3 enchiladas both amazing the mole was one of the best I have had. Place is small so expect to wait for a table unless your willing to sit out on the patio which if the weather is nice would be okay. We also had the house margarita which was very good. Staff was nice and helpful if you had questions with the menu. read more

I am not a connoisseur of Mexican food, but I always look for authentic restaurants while in Arizona. Based on Yelp reviews and a desire to try Oaxacan cuisine, we selected this restaurant on a recent visit. From the outside the place looks small, but there are plenty of tables when you can use the covered patio. We order the enchilada trio, the tiayuda combinada, the tamales, the carne asada empanada, and the carne asada quesadilla. All of them were tasty with the mole sauce makes it unique. Also good service and clean. We will bring our friends here next time. An additional plus is that this restaurant is close to some Mexican bakeries that we also like. read more

2nd time here and love it! The mole is consistently good. Drinks are good. A must try!

I love this place, the food is good and it is local: so it has it's own standing, not selling/buying a name (for those, that, read my other reviews/what would be the difference in how I is reviewing of THEM), for you can tell that they care: when they are there, helping you to have an exercise. Yes, I say this place gets a 10 out of 5 stars read more
