The place is small and cozy. The menu is varied and you are sure to find something you like. From the traditional Oaxaqueño food to the more Americanized.
The server was attentive but looked like she would rather be somewhere else. We arrived around 5:30 just before the dinner rush.
My friend recommended the hot chocolate which is made with water. Perfect for me since I don't do dairy. It was very good, thick, and flavorful.
I ordered three chicken enchiladas dipped in red mole sauce. Served with a side of tasajo, rice and black beans.
For dessert I had NICUATOLE: Gelatin-like made from corn flour, cinnamon and red sugar.
This place is a little hidden in a very small plaza. You will need slow down a lot to find this place. The place is clean and very Ma&Pa. I can see many locals coming in & out. My friend and I came here for dinner. It wasn't too busy and we both ordered black mole & tamale. I was excited to try it because I saw Mark Weins had tried authentic Black Mole in Oaxaca and it looked amazing. The mole is very dark and it tasted very rich & tasty. I added a little salsa on top and it was even better. The tamale wasn't bad. The corn and meat inside was fresh and moist. We also tried the Chilacayota drink and it was refreshing & not too sweet. They also serve hand made tortillas which is always a bonus.
The Enchiladas Campesinas were slathered in their mild, flavorful tomatillo sauce. Being raised in SoCali and used to our style of food, these flavors were surprising. The sides were filling, but the plate didn't leave you with any "heavy" feeling. Cool small place with a laid back local feel. The pic of my half demolished plate shows how much I enjoyed it. The plate was empty at the end of the meal.
The food was good, the coffee was excellent! They were very busy. I want to try their mole amarillo with hongos next time.
Authentic Oaxacan food, we live in Bakersfield Ca and when we are near, we do our best to eat in this restaurant. Price is reasonable, wait time depends on the day and time, weekends are usually busy.
Great Oaxaca Food spot!! My 1st time in here and I was overwhelmed a bit with the huge selection of food plate options. Place is quite small but believe me brother when I say the food is very tasty! The ordering process is the usual order your drink, get chips, & spicy salsa(chile de arbol salsa), & wait for your food. I ordered the Fried Tasano with onions plate with rice, beans, and handmade torillas alongside with a pineapple drink DELISH!!! I also liked the vibe I got from the table cloths, painting on the wall, and Oaxaca Style music made me feel in a safe at home or family gathering atmosphere! Nice touch, they had an elderly man playing his guitar and singing when I came in. Very kind woman that took my order. Delicious food! Great place for big or small crowds, family, friends..etc. They also have a Panaderia (mexican sweet bread), selection of ice cream, & choice to buy meat, chicharon, handmade tortilla like a supermarket!! Unbelievable!! Definitely coming back here for 2nds!
Authentic Oaxacan food, great service and nice clean cafe.
They have a delicious plate called xtlayuda. It's cheesy with tasty meats on top.
It's small place but very comforting and very friendly workers. The food was good but could be better.
Do come here for their chicken enchiladas with the black mole sauce...I also had their season drink that was very new and tasty to me.
