    Such a wonderful early dinner my family and I had today. Great food and great service by great people. Clean beautiful ambiance. Thank you to the chefs and wait staff. My son loved his caldo de res, my husband really enjoyed his menudo dish and I loved the red Oaxaca mole dish. Try their Oaxaca horchata.

    This is what you call a hole In the wall/ family owned restaurant.. arrived and the location its kinda lonely and industrial like .. but the inside is clean and the lady serving us what's super nice .. food is a bit on the higher end but we were all satisfied and portions are big 4 dishes an extra order of their delicious tortillas and drinks was about $175

    The food is ok. The food for kids is not great for the price. I don't have a photo but the kids taquito was 2 rolled up palm sized tortillas con pollo with a x small chicken soup for $10 no drink or other sides included. Better off buying regular entree for them. The food is overpriced and over hyped. Although the molecajete was decent . I ordered menudo which was ok . I wouldn't come back , I've had way better

    Enmoladas and Barbacoa

    Came here for the first time and don't regret trying this place. Their mole was probably the best I've ever had. It had a lot of flavor and the perfect amount of kick. We also got the barbacoa per the server's recommendation and the meat was very tender. The portion size is good as well.

    The molcajete was $43 and beer $6. The tasajo was the best! Service was also super fast and nice

    Goat Barbacoa & red chicken mole

    We got Barbacoa with goat and red chicken mole. Both very good and authentic! Staff is very friendly too! Definitely recommend

    Barely any Quesillo.

    Not the worse but also not the best, we'll stick with our regular place for Oaxacan food. They don't offer complementary chips, even if they are not with Coloradito on top, just no comp chips at all. The flavor of the food is not bad but the portions look stingy. One good thing is that we didn't have to wait too long for the food, since they other 3 tables there were done and started to leave. I don't know about other plates, but at least the ones we ordered are not making us come back. In regards to service, a "Good Afternoon, Welcome " would be nice.

    The food is incredible. Probably some of the best mole I have found in LA. And the tortillas are hand made there.

    Was looking for Oaxacan food near USC and I'm extremely happy that I found this place! I do think it's unfortunate that you have to find parking a block or more away, since this place deserves more hype! The inside is very nice and has an authentic Mexican feel. I did notice that since we were the only people there, half of the tables still had their chairs up-I'm assuming they haven't been very busy lately. When my friend and I went in, the staff were so kind and happy to help us. Our server came by to welcome us and to suggest some signature dishes. She even gave us a sample of the mole - which was delicious. I ordered the tlayuda and an agua fresca and they very much satisfied my cravings for good Oaxacan food! I truly hope more people discover this place because they deserve to be recognized for their great attitudes and great food!

    This is a little hidden restaurant that I am sure a ton of people miss. Its not the fanciest place ever but the food is good. If you are looking for a place that sells some good authentic food from oaxaca then this one is not going to disappoint. Today I ordered some chicken in mole and I really liked it. the taste of the mole was very good and it went well with the chicken. I also got the guacamole and loved it. Pros -Parking in the back -Small and cozy -Good prices Cons -They should put a sign that says parking in the back

    This place is a "must miss". The food was not good and service was barely ok. It was hard to find and I wish we wouldn't have found it.

The…read moreatmosphere was probably my favorite part--dim lighting, beautiful decor, and it definitely has that trendy vibe that's perfect for celebrating or catching up with friends. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, and everything was presented really well. The enchiladas were flavorful, the grilled fish was cooked perfectly, and the tortillas with the short rib were a table favorite. Portions were great for sharing, and the sauces really tied everything together. Service was friendly and our server checked in on us throughout the night without making us feel rushed. It did get a little busy, so there were a few waits between courses, but nothing that took away from the experience. Overall Great atmosphere, solid food, and a fun place for birthdays or date nights. I'd definitely come back!!

When we…read morearrived, we were told the Dine LA menu was already sold out--which was confusing since they open at 6 PM. Our waiter then told us we needed a specific Dine LA reservation, something that was never mentioned when I called or when I made the reservation. I've been to plenty of Dine LA restaurants and have never experienced this. The service wasn't necessarily bad, but it was very dismissive. No apology, no real explanation--they basically just brushed it off. Thankfully, the food saved the night! The Michelada oysters were TO DIE FOR--seriously one of the best oyster flavors I've ever had. We also had the short rib plate, which was delicious. The outdoor atmosphere and decor are really cute too.

The drive there was a bit iffy due to location but surprisingly the street that the restaurant is on was clean and felt pretty safe! I chose to park on the street but I'd advise to valet ($15) for safety purposes. We walked into a concrete built up newish area that had a brewery and another Michelin rated restaurant across the courtyard. The entire area was inviting! The restaurant felt like we took a dinner vacation to Cabo which was recipe for a relaxing evening! We ordered from the restaurant week menu which for us consisted of Ceviche, Guac w/delicious fresh tortilla fresh chips, whipped beans, snapper, bbq chicken, empanadas and basque cheesecake. All were great!.. we just wanted a larger portion of everything! I'd recommend and will definitely go again! I love restaurant week!

We can't wait to see you again!

There were many families eating dinner and many larger parties that looked like they were celebrating something special. We were all famished after fighting through LA traffic on a weeknight. I'm pretty sure we ordered at least half the items on the menu. Every dish ordered was fine, edible, not burnt but just ok. While I am by no means a connoisseur of Oaxacan food, I am perplexed at the number of reviews raving about this restaurant. It's fine, there nothing wrong with the food, but I, personally, don't think it's rave worthy. I've been here 2x now. I'll come back to a place especially when it's on a "best of" list and I wasn't impressed. I always think it may have just been a bad day or perhaps I didn't order well. Next time I see this spot on a "best of" list I'm going to find out WHAT dishes I should've ordered.
