Breaded fish taco.
Ruth B.

Always support the locals. Since I can remember this restaurant has been open. The food is tasty, the service is fantastic and it's a very chill cozy environment. They don't sell hard liquor but a model will do. We order fish breaded tacos. The toppings was cabbage, tomaotes, cilantro, onions and a very good sauce. The breaded fish were small due to the small Tortillas but I feel that at 4.49 each small taco a little more fish should be added. Please do not take this review wrong. I enjoy my two tacos, the model beer, the music from MIKE and my time with my hubby. Will I order the fish tacos at 4.49 each no. I prefer mole with chicken. Oh, forgot to mention we recieved two small plates of mole with on chips with Mexican cheese. Bomb! Check thisbplace out. Very busy on the weekend and parking is tough but worth it.

Café De Olla con una concha!
Julie P.

Authentic! This was our first time coming and we were greeted the minute we saw staff, making the ambiance pleasurable. We ordered the Cafe de Olla, it was delicious and it came with a concha! As we ordered and waited for our food looking around it looks like a big restaurant and great for families. The food came out at a timely manner and we ate every last bit of it! I recommend "La Tentación", it has a little bit of everything and feeds up to three people depending how hungry you are. The price in everything was well worth it as well!

Mold negro con pollo, frijoles negros, y arroz

I love a good mole, so I was pleased when the server brought some chips with mole coloradito on them to the table. I found the mole to be slightly sweet and less spicy than I prefer for a coloradito (although I'm accustomed to the mole from the border, not Oaxaca). But the server brought more chips with mole negro on it to try and it was excellent, so I ordered the mole negro plate. The mole had great depth of flavor and a nice spicy kick, the chicken was tender, and the beans were very flavorful. And their corn tortillas the best indicator of a good Mexican restaurant were fresh off the comal, oversized, soft, and tasty. The only downside was trying to get my wheelchair underneath a table, although they worked hard to accommodate me. I found only one space in the entire restaurant that fit my wheelchair (which fortunately was unoccupied). We also have a disabled parking space right outside the door. Based on my one experience at Casa Oaxaca, I would recommend it to others.

Chicken mole
Michael S.

We had a nice lunch here. Parking is rough and we ended up a few blocks away. The restaurant was busy but seemed to move efficiently-- we waited 25 minutes for a table. The food was incredible. They have complimentary chips with salsa and mole and we ordered quesadillas dorados for an appetizer. The quesadillas were fantastic. For mains, I had chicken mole -- a leg/thigh quarter smothered in mole with rice and beans. A bit messy, but amazing. My wife ordered one of the bass filet platters (filete de ajo?) and it was the best single piece of fish I've had in ages. The staff were courteous and we had a great meal. The lunch rush had died down by the time we finished, making this a good spot to hit off peak to get parking out front and skip the waitlist.

This is a great venue for good Mexican food. I came here to see a friend of mine perform live. Great live music and vibe! I really like Mole and of course had to try theirs. I got the Pollo with Mole and it was delicious. I also loved the Passion Fruit Margarita. Served chilled!

Hot chocolate

I love Oxacan food! Excellent service, excellent food, excellent ambiance. Today I had their sliders , the molcajete and then Mexican hot chocolate!

Horchata
Yvonne H.

Really cute place, especially for a date night. Very nice service and they specialize in Oaxacan foods. I love their mole, they have 2 types. There's live music on the weekend. Parking can be tough so plan accordingly.

Molcajete Oaxaqueño, Chips and Guacamole, Tlayuda La Bendicion con cecina.

Live music on Friday night, friendly staff and amazing flavors! The food was 10s for everything, I think my favorite was the chicken soup! Tasted so homemade and comforting. Will be back soon!

Jasmine O.

Love coming here with the family! Nice hole in the wall restaurant. I went a Monday at around 11am and had some hot chocolate and then got a chicken soup. The chicken soup was very flavorful and the avocado added a nice touch to it.

Anthony L.

This is my first time here at the restaurant and I got to tell you the food is fucken delicious authentic Mexican food. Food is on point the service was superb always asking us are we good, of course we good devouring our plate and stuffing our faces. The place is a little small but place can get really crowded.

Tlayuda mixta!
Adriana O.

I love the scenery and the food is delicious! Can't go wrong with the mole enchiladas, and their tlayudas! Chefs kiss!

Freddy V.

Delicious food. I ordered a large tray for two and had leftover food for days! Go try the Oaxaca cheese! Great service and live entertainment!

Along with that, our table also ordered: the quail with sticky rice ($20.99), salted fish and shrimp fried rice ($24.99), shaken beef with garlic noodles ($22.99), bok choy with sautéed garlic ($12.99), a hot tea ($4.00), Coca-Cola ($5.50), a mojito ($15.00), and a margarita ($15.00). With tax ($17.71), our ticket was $209.16 before gratuity. The NOLA Grilled Oysters come sizzling on a hot griddle, with four different fillings, four pieces each, for a total of 16 oysters. The price might seem a bit indulgent, but not if you consider the effort and ingredients that go into this presentation. Each type was flavorful, and there wasn't a single one I didn't enjoy. The salted fish fried rice was an interesting experience. I enjoyed the dish, though the salted fish was less salty than I expected. Someone in our group, who usually doesn't like salted fish fried rice because they find it too salty, actually liked this version for its milder flavor. The plate also includes four large shrimp. The shaken beef was tasty and tender; the garlic noodles were al dente and had just enough garlic--not excessive. The sautéed garlic added a smoky, nutty taste to the bok choy. The quail was marinated well and tasted good--but I wonder if it was fried just a bit too long. After this meal, I chatted with a friend who lives in the community. He'd been to this spot before but dismissed it as just another seafood boil joint. After our conversation, though, he said he'd be willing to give it another shot. I guess your impression of this restaurant depends, at least in part, on what you order. The service, by the way, was excellent. The dining environment was clean and comfortable, with plenty of television screens so people could keep up with World Cup matches.

That said, the salmon and especially the yellowtail were outstanding, it was fresh, flavorful, and everyone enjoyed it. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the shrimp or scallop next time. Currently most items are frozen but I hope they can offer some fresh options to better enjoy day off and smaller quantities (half pounds) so I can buy a little bit of everything.

It's a casual, family-friendly spot with a fun seafood-themed atmosphere, and the service was friendly and welcoming. We tried the Cali Truffle Roll, Lobster Grilled Cheese, Lobster Bisque, Clam Chowder, fries, tots, mac and cheese, and the strawberry lemonade. The amount of lobster in everything really impressed us. They definitely don't skimp, and every lobster dish felt generous and satisfying. The Cali Truffle Roll was probably the freshest bite of the meal. I loved that the lobster was served chilled with avocado, cucumber, carrots, red onion, celery and greens. It was cold, crisp and refreshing while still feeling indulgent from the truffle oil and herb mayo. The Lobster Grilled Cheese was another favorite, especially dipped into the soups. We ended up dipping absolutely everything into both the lobster bisque and clam chowder, including the fries and tots. Everything paired so well together that it became part of the experience. There's a good variety on the menu for the whole family, along with deals and specials that make it an easy casual lunch or dinner option. Great portions, plenty of lobster and a meal we would happily return for.

Turns out, it wasn't nearly as crowded as before - though spoiler: the price has increased a lot (I want to say it was $25/lb 10 years ago, and now is $37/lb). Keep in mind too, you can't get a small amount like 1lb - usually it's gonna be 3+lb so your bill is easily going to hit mid-$100 to $200s from the lobster alone. That being said, many people swear this is the best, and that's why they can charge whatever they want. I'm actually allergic to lobster (lol) but am a team player so I just sampled it for the funsies, and had to get another dish to actually eat (went with the beef lok luk). My family said the lobster noodle was good, but not like, fantastic (which we were expecting not fantastic but yeah, mostly came here to a family meeting.) The beef lok luk was also pretty good like, 4.3 of 5 - we just had another version at Paradise which was astounding (like 4.6) though also more expensive and pretty far away. Overall, not sure if we'll come back again as we're more curious about the copycats that have popped up which might be 80% as good and much more affordable. Stay tuned! :)

This is a ghost kitchen concept and, from what we could tell, the owner seems to be running everything on his own. I definitely sympathize with that and understand how difficult it must be to handle the cooking, orders, phones, and pickups as a one-man operation. That being said, the expectations around wait times really need to be more realistic. We placed an order for several food items and were told it would take about 30-45 minutes. We decided to go grocery shopping in the meantime and ended up coming back about 2 hours later--and our food still wasn't ready. Ended up not getting this until another hour of waiting later. I completely understand being backed up, but I would much rather be given an honest 2+ hour estimate upfront so we could plan accordingly as we had other things scheduled for our day. Pickup was also frustrating. You have to ring the doorbell to get someone's attention, and you may be waiting quite a while before anyone answers. Calling in an order also seems to be hit or miss (half of the time no answer), which makes the whole process difficult, especially for a business that seems to rely heavily on takeout and catering orders. As for the food itself, it was decent and we enjoyed it, but nothing really blew us away. Unfortunately, the extremely long wait and difficulty communicating overshadowed the food for us. I think there's definitely potential here, and I genuinely hope they're able to get some additional help because it seems like one person is simply trying to do too much. With better communication and more accurate wait times, the experience could be completely different. For now, though, 2/5 based on our experience.
