Tlayuda L.a. Restaurant

Jim, Emily, and I had a scrumptious dinner here during our recent visit to LA. then a few days later Jim and I had a delicious breakfast, as well. The watermelon Agua Fresca was refreshing, the food worth our 30 minute wait for them to open, and to top it all off the personnel was delightful.

Tlayuda is such a gem in LA, and so glad I got to try them a few days ago. I was pleasantly happy and content all around. First of all, loved the decor of bright blue walls with art all around. Has a very warm and welcoming feel. The service was also great! Had the pleasure of meeting Susie and Ana, which were both very friendly and helpful. Susie came around regularly to make sure I was ok or if I needed anything at all. I had asked some questions about the food and Ana, the cook, was happy to explain. They were both very sweet and added to the pleasant experience I had with my meal. And the food was all just as good as everything else; very flavorful and good. And love that they have veggie and vegan options as well. I truly enjoyed everything that I ate here. This is what I had: Blue corn chips with guacamole and salsa: I’m not used to blue corn chips, so this was a nice touch. Plus the salsa had a good spicy kick, and the guacamole was very tasty. Two tacos, one veggie and one vegan. Veggie taco made with grilled zucchini, onion, mushroom, bell pepper with cheese and avocado: The veggies were all perfectly cooked and seasoned and the strips of Oaxacan cheese on top gave it a tasty touch with the avocado. The vegan taco was made with chipotle marinated hibiscus flower with avocado: This was my first time having hibiscus flower in a taco and it was sooo deliciously good! I would definitely have it again. Veggie breakfast burrito stuffed with eggs scrambled with tomato, onion, Serrano pepper and potato fried with cheese: This was also really good. Loved the potato fried with the cheese that was inside, and the flavors were all really good together. The two sauces that came with the burrito were also very yummy and had a nice spicy flavor. Aguas frescas of hibiscus flower, tamarindo, horchata, brewchata (horchata with coffee), and mint cucumber lemonade: All were good! They were refreshing and went nicely with the food. And I had never had horchata mixed with cold brew coffee, so that was a nice surprise that I enjoyed. Not to mention they have non dairy horchata also. You really can’t go wrong with any of the aguas frescas that they have, or the food really either. I will definitely return soon and recommend them to anyone that wants good food, specially Oaxacan. I would eat everything that I had here again, and also eyed a few other things on their menu that I must try next time. Can’t wait to! I also happily realized that they’re on my Postmates for delivery, so I’ll be sure to order delivery next time also🤤🤤

I found the meat to be very salty. We ordered a tlayuda supreme with the three meats. I tried to eat it as is but it was too salty and the pizza just kind of fell apart. The way the meats just lay on the pizza makes it tricky. The memelita was like a giant sope which I did enjoy. We ordered it with meat which was just a slab. It would’ve been easier to eat if the meat was chopped up. The lemonade was good though we cut it with water to stretch out the sugars. The salsa was fantastic. I’d return again but I’d get the tlayuda with one meat. The service was good. I’d come back with adjustments to make my meal better suited for my buds. They did not honor their free chorizo taco with check-in. I was initially upset but after the salty meats got to our table I was happy we didn’t get those tacos.

Must try this women owned and operated hidden gem, located in East Hollywood! Tlayuda serves up fresh, homestyle Oaxacan cuisine. Got to try all three aguas frescas and all of them were so refreshing and delicious. I started with the breakfast burrito which is stuffed with eggs, tomato, onion, serrano, potatoes, cheese and salsa. I tried a variety of tacos as well. Tortillas are handmade in house which I love.

decent service the tlayuda with three meats with good flavor and delicious horchata water.

The food here is so good and the staff is super friendly. Highly recommend the molé it’s my favorite thing on the menu. Everything is really good and they have vegan and veggie options so you can really satisfy everyone’s dietary needs.
