    I came here with my husband for the second time, and the servers are always so nice. I had the mole burrito, and he got the chicken with mole both were absolutely delicious. We had the mole negro, but we also tried a bit of the red mole with the tortilla chips they bring out at the beginning, and that was amazing too. I could go either way next time! The restaurant is right in the middle of Chinatown. They have a small parking lot, but we didn't have any trouble finding a spot -- maybe we just got lucky. It might be a little more challenging during dinner hours though.

    We visited Olvera St. and while we loved our experience there, the reviews pointed to a restaurant nearby not on Olvera St. It was close to China town which is nearby. So we walked there from Olvera. We were greeted by vibrant colors and wall paintings when we first walked in. It was amazing. We knew we were in an authentic restaurant when we found the servers barely spoke English. I am ashamed as half Mexican to say my Spanish is dismal. But we could read the menu fine as it had English explanations for everything. When I was in Cancun I had the best mole ever. It put me off of other moles for good. But they mentioned the recipes being from Oaxaca. So since we were at a Oaxacan restaurant I decided to order the enchiladas en mole. It came with yummy rice and beans. The mole was the best I've had since leaving Cancun. Still not quite as good, but good enough. Everyone else loved there plates of tacos, burritos, and soups. The thing I wish they served is some kind of veggie or salad with the entree. A lot of Mexican restaurants do this so as to balance the carbs with some good veggies. Radishes and peppers would be fine for me. Another bummer is they didn't serve margaritas which would have went well with the meal. Otherwise, I wish I lived near this place so I could try many of the delicious looking plates they serve. Especially the molcajete which I saw someone order. Looks amazing. It is absolutely worth visiting this establishment when visiting the area.

    This is a gem of Oaxacan food. Nestled in a Chinatown strip mall, Los Compadres offers great moles and salsas that will satisfy anyone familiar with the flavors of Oaxaca. Highly recommend. Great service.

    Cozy Hole in wall Mexican restaurant worth checking out in Chinatown. Across from Suehiro Mini. In small strip mall. Started with chips with Mole and sprinkles of cheese. We had the fresh Caldo De Pollo /Chicken Soup on a cold winter night. Very flavorful and hot with fresh vegetables. Craving for some breakfast classic like Huevos De Chorizo wa s also satisfied here. Check out this little place.

    The food at this little hidden gem is very good. Its as authentic as it can be, they make their own tlayudas on a wood grill they set up out front of the restaurant. The molcajetes and the moles are the star here. Service was excellent, the ambiance is , well, authentic. The tortillas are made fresh from corn, and the Queso fundido was tasty as hell. The molcajetes are quite unusual, oaxacan meats, cheeses, queso fresco to be exact, bolita de chorizo, cecina, and tasajo. They to the table in a searing hot stone bowl, bubbling over with salsa that looks like magma. If you are seeking an authentic Oaxaca meal you'll find it here.

    To start don't get the Queso fundido $18.99 and it's so small! La comida no está tan buena no tienen el sabor auténtico y además la canasta 20 de noviembre no la recomiendo por el precio $60 no vale la pena solo un platillo por ese precio no es justo la masa solo sale en $5 dólares una libra, el queso $7 la libra, las porciones no va con lo que cuesta este platillo y también solo ponen 2 pedacitos de carne no es ni media libra de carne, este lugar es un robo a la comunidad latina, y los frijoles negros tienen un sabor bien raro disculpen pero alomejor hay otros lugares mejor pero este no es!

    I am so happy I finally got to try Dama! I absolutely love Antonia LaFasso so I've been dying to…read moretry one of her restaurants. 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.

Located between Koreatown and Pico-Union, this restaurant delivers an outstanding dining experience from the moment you're seated. My wife and I both ordered the Mole Coloradito with chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. One detail we really appreciated was being able to choose between white meat or dark meat--a thoughtful touch that lets you customize your meal to your preference. The mole was rich, complex, and full of flavor, exactly what you would hope for from a restaurant known for its Oaxacan specialties. As a welcome appetizer, they bring fresh chips and salsa to the table, but what really impressed us was when they replaced the salsa with their incredible mole sauce. It was so good we found ourselves dipping everything into it. Both meals were served with rice that was perfectly cooked with a great consistency and flavor. For those feeling adventurous, give the Chapulines (grasshoppers) a try. They may sound intimidating, but they were surprisingly enjoyable and added to the authentic experience. The staff was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and patient with those of us who are not fluent in Spanish. Their hospitality made us feel comfortable and welcomed throughout our visit. Great food, authentic flavors, and wonderful service make Guelaguetza a restaurant we'll definitely be returning to. Highly recommended!

As soon as you walk up the stairwell you'll be transported into this super cute place with an outdoor-indoor feel, almost like an elegant treehouse. We were seated on the second level which provided a Birds Eye view of the restaurant. We ordered a few items to share: Cameron ceviche, flautas and for our sweet tooth, French toast paired with a mango sorbet surprise with a candle for our birthdays (tip: we drizzled the melted sorbet on our French toast and took small scoops with each bite - game changer!). Everything was so delicious! We also ordered mocktails, a miche-nada for him and a lemony drink for me. This experience wouldn't have been as great without the exceptional service we had.

While it is definitely on the pricier side, the flavors are extremely unique and delicious, making it worth the splurge for a special night out. My only real bummer was discovering they took the vegan ceviche off the menu--that was actually the whole reason I came back! I'm sure they have their reasons, but I was pretty disheartened to see it go. Overall, the menu doesn't have a ton of vegan items, but they do have some room for adjustments if you ask. Despite the menu change, the incredible atmosphere and unique menu still make it a must-try.

The building is an original piece of the City's history, boasting a menu that features their famous burritos that vary in size from a regular to a huge party size beast that can feed several.

Hollenbeck was good but I definitely enjoyed the Okie burrito more, I ordered the "original" size once and didn't seem to learn my lesson the second time, these burritos can feed two in Original size. 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.
