    Chile relleno plate (so freaking good)
    Melinda B.

    Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow! ! ! ! ! DELICIOUS!! I started with a cafe de olla and I was so happy with it. I could taste real, fresh canela in it and it wasn't too sweet. This was a genuinely good cup of coffee compared to others I've tried in LA. I had the quesadilla de chapulines and everything was made fresh. The quesadilla was made with fresh masa and perfectly crispy. The cheese was delicious Oaxacan cheese. The chapulines were abundant with excellent flavor. They're nice and citrusy. During my next visit, I ordered the chile relleno. It's one of my favorite dishes and I had to see how theirs is. Well, it was the best plate of chile relleno I've had, so far. The salsa on top was tasty. The batter was light and cloudy. The cheese inside was generous with delicious flavor. The beans and rice were great. The side salad was great too! They added tomato, cucumber and radish, tossed in lemon and a little salt. Usually restaurants throw some lettuce on a plate and it's just bland. I love this place! I'm glad I visited and look forward to my next meal there. Also, the staff are very friendly!

    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
    Yuting W.

    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!

    Molcajete comes with rice and beans sooo yum

    This is a family owned restaurant with authentic Mexican food. Please, try the molcajete if you decide to stop by. Its so good, you wont regret it.

We kicked things off with the queso fundido, and wow, it was absolutely delicious! Rich, melty, and packed with flavor, it was the perfect way to start the evening. For my entrée, I ordered the cochinita pibil, which was incredibly tender and saucy in the best way. My husband ordered the short rib, and it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. On the side, we shared the papas bravas and esquite, both of which complemented our dishes perfectly. The drinks truly elevated the night. My husband and I both love mezcal, and Kateen delivered. I ordered the Valentine's Day "Zona Romántica," which featured mezcal and wine almost like a sangria, but completely unique and beautifully balanced. My husband had the "Gypsy Fever," also mezcal-based, and it was smoky, smooth, and refreshing. Between the food, cocktails, and ambiance, it made for such a romantic and memorable evening. We'll absolutely be back!!

    This was my first time dining at this restaurant. The server was great, the food was delicious, and…read morethe atmosphere was amazing. However, the reason I'm giving 2 stars is because of the valet parking experience. First, I was charged $25 even though the sign clearly stated that valet parking is $17 for the first 3 hours, and $25 after 3 hours. Our reservation was at 6:30 PM, we arrived on time, and we left before 9 PM, so the charge did not make sense. When I asked the valet attendant, he kept saying, "because you dined there," without giving any clear explanation. If it is actually a flat rate for restaurant guests, then that should be clearly stated upfront to customers. Second, when I got into my car, I noticed that someone had touched the navigation settings because the compass direction and display were different from what I normally use. I do not understand why there was any need to adjust or touch my navigation system at all. I really think the restaurant needs to improve and better manage its valet parking system. Honestly, it felt like I was being charged a random price just because I was told, "you dined there." If there is a flat valet rate for restaurant guests, that information should be clearly communicated upfront instead of leaving customers confused at the end.

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.

Sadly, this experience soured my impression enough that I don't see myself returning.

They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. 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.
