    Tasajo Quesadilla
    Prisma ..

    This place is more of a cute look than actually good food... at least for what I ordered anyways. I had the Tasajo Quesadilla and it was wayyyy more tortilla than it was meat, which is crazy considering the prices. The chorizo was good, but again not worth the pricing. We also ordered a side of corn for the table, it was tasteless and not much flavor to it. Overall the experience was underwhelming. They did have really friendly employees who answered any and all questions we had.

    Tlayuda
    Grater F.

    Came to Maydan Market for dinner with some girlfriends and the market is a super cool concept. I ordered the Tlayuda with Carne Asada and also ordered a side of chips and guacamole. I have a dairy allergy so they removed the lard and cheese (which I'm not sure how much that affected the flavor), but while the food was good I thought it was quite bland and lacking a bit of flavor. Outside of the food, customer service was top tier and the market venue aesthetic is super cute with lots of seating. Despite the seating this place gets PACKED on the weekends and it's a bit confusing if you're a first timer. Unless you have a resy at the back restaurant it's all open seating and you order at each individual restaurant in the market and then grab your seat after. I'd definitely come back and try Lugya'h again along with the other spots in the venue. You can try and scrap for street parking, but they do also have valet. Bon appetite neighbors!

    Memela  with moronga
    N A.

    Fine dining and mall food court had a baby and it's Mayden. Lugya'h is in Mayden. This was lunch. Nothing says they they close for dinner prep at 2. They reopen at 5 for dinner service. Ambiance It's beautiful. Very Moroccan vibe. The details are outstanding on ambiance. The details in silverware and plates is just beautiful. The copper hood over the grill is gorgeous. Service- the lady at the register where we ordered was nice but not that helpful, ok. The restaurant is new October just opened so they're probably working out the kinks. No servers or anyone asking if the food was good but this at 230pm when employees were leaving. Food- Taco de boda. Has salsa inside and is spicy. It has pork, the pork was ok. Not fancy. I would prefer the sauce on the outside for some reason and with some cheese on top to balance the acidity of the salsa/chile. Memelas- I had the one with moronga (blood sausage). My friend ordered Tasajo (pork) but received Chorizo. He then ordered tasajo on the side after but they gave him carne asada. He says he wished the portion was larger For the price point. He like the wood smoke on the meat he ordered but the chorizo on the memela was like a 1/2 an ounce. I know it's rich but at least pack on more beans or something. The items are individually sold. The tortilla/ masa was great but the blood sausage actually lacked salt for my taste (and I don't cook with much salt) but it was tasty. The salsa /chile is served in a clay heart type of ramekin. I am Mexicana and we have ALOT of Oaxacan restaurants out here in West Adams area and sadly I just wasn't impressed and my dish wasn't that flavorful. It felt like they were taking oaxacan food from Mexico that's workers' style food and trying to sell it as if it's fancy. It's missing pizazz. BUT there's potential and they've only been open a month. It did though feel really clean. Not heavy. Another plus the environment is conducive to meeting and chatting with strangers! That's a big plus. My friend wasn't a fan of the salsa chile but liked the meat and ambiance. He liked the chile in the clay heart. Price point high but likely due to location. It's just really confusing. At first I thought it was a food court style but they can't seem to execute the concept well. It's a counter type of restaurant meaning counter service but it's confusing. Where do you order? How many different restaurants? How do you Instead of giving elevated workers' style food, they are giving workers' style food at elevated prices. Nobody at the door to explain how this place operates. We saw 4-6 people walk out because they werent attended to. What's confusing is you Order by QR code but do they bring the order to you? No. Nobody told us we get a text when the food is ready. Then you pick up. The menu is limited. Would I return? Maybe for tortillas and maybe for the small pizza place in the corner.

    I visited Maydan Market yesterday for a tasting at Lugya'h, and it was a flawless 10/10 experience. Every plate was stunningly presented, and the flavors matched the aesthetics. The steak was incredibly tender and paired perfectly with the tortilla, chili sauce, beans, and romaine lettuce. We stayed a little longer, and we tried their famous Tlayuda, which is highly recommended! The service was exceptional. The timing between courses was spot on, giving me plenty of time to savor each dish without feeling rushed. I also stopped by Compass Rose for a Tahini Colada and a Casa Lager. Both were refreshing and served as the perfect appetite suppressants well, the opposite, they really opened up my palate! The atmosphere at the market is very welcoming and intimate, making it an ideal spot for a date night. The Spanish music playing in the background sets a fantastic mood, it definitely makes you want to stay for "just one more drink!" I can't wait to go back.

    Tlayuda con 3 carnes
    Madame X.

    It was my first time at the market and its beautifully done! I ordered a tlayuda con 3 Barnes which was super filling and can easily be shared with 3 people. The service was quick and the food was fresh ans delicious. The fire pit really gives the food another level.

    Tlayuda con moronga

    Lugya'h, by Poncho's Tlayduas, is even better than Poncho's famed Tlayudas Friday pop-ups, because you're able to enjoy a wider array of Poncho's cooking and Zapotec cuisine. The tlayuda remains as flavorful as ever (always go with the "tres carnes"), while the moles are as rich and as textured as if Poncho cooked it and served it to you at his home. Run, don't walk, to Lugya'h.

    Tlayuda of chorizo and moronga
    J M.

    Went to Lugyah which is a new project by Chef Poncho of Ponchos tlayudas. We enjoyed the Classic tlayuda, which was just as delicious as on Friday's tlayuda. We also had the tacos de boda that were a nice alternative to the Tlayuda.

    Memela chorizo

    It's hard to put into words how delicious and special this food is. We are lucky to have such an authentic Oaxacan experience in West Adams. The Tlayuda is the most comforting food that I crave on a weekly basis, and is easily the best we have in the city of Los Angeles. Family run, and you can tell in the quality of everything. Easily my go to spot in the wonderful new maydan market.

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.
