    Service was fast and friendly for a weekday dinner! Ordered the La Tiayuda Tipica - huge tostada almost like a pizza covered in beans oaxaca cheese and 3 meats, 4/5 honestly the tostada itself was really good, but the 3 meats on top were okay, a bit dry and almost out of place. You could get it with or without the meats. Enmoladas - 4/5 - the mole here is amazing! I could drink a bowl of their mole. It has a hint of sweetness, not super bitter, and a bit earthy? Overall, it was great! I'll come back just to order more mole dishes.

    Service was great! Food was delicious! Would definitely recommend! Will be coming back soon

    The place was almost full when I arrived and waited to be seated and ultimately was pointed to an open spot by another customer. Took a bit for the waitress to bring a menu and take my drink order. The place is a typical home style diner where mostly locals frequent. I ordered the Plato Flor de Oaxaca which is a sampler plate with various items from their menu. It was a bit bland and could have used more seasoning but was plentiful. All in all a good experience.

    Hot chocolate made with milk. It can be made with water. The bread is light and delicious.

    Small place with great food. Service is quick and helpful. Small wait time if there's a line outside. Parking can get tricky.

    An Honest review about the food. $60 for 2 people 2 beverages and 2 meals But first...This place has a gorgeous atmosphere, truly 5 stars for charm, décor, and overall ambiance. If you're looking for a lovely setting to catch up with friends or enjoy a quiet date, it's absolutely worth a visit for the surrounding. But food is ok. It doesn't have the homemade feel. It doesn't match the energy. I had high hopes, especially for the mole. As a chef and a regular at Restaurant Mary's off Main (where abuelitas are behind the simmering pots), I've been spoiled by deeply stewed, slow-loved mole. Unfortunately, the mole here felt rushed--more surface-level in flavor, and paired with a very mature, fibrous chicken that lacked tenderness. I give it a 2 out of 10. The chile relleno looked beautiful on the plate, but the flavor didn't quite deliver. Presentation was a 10, execution a 3. Service was kind, but considering we were the only guests, I expected more attentiveness. I give it a 3. Lastly, a heads-up: they use artificial dyes in their drinks (including red dye), which is something I personally avoid for health reasons. Final thought: Come for the atmosphere, take lots of pictures, but manage your expectations when it comes to the mole and relleno. Again, I eat mole from scratch so I'm very spoiled with homemade Mexican food.

    Food was excellent, the service was on point, the ambience, a guy came in to sing solo spanish old school slow romantic music.

    Black mole

    We had excellent mole here. Small shop with about 9 tables. Tried Amarillo and black mole with chicken. The hand made corn tortillas were delicate & tasty. Everything was like home made. The Amarillo is not my favorite - first time I tried it, resembles curry for me. LOVE the black mole. I agree with other reviews, pretty sweet. Service was good. They were very busy, Monday at 5 pm. Seems like locals like this spot. The ambiance was Oaxacan for sure. Clean and friendly staff.

    Wish they used another type of cheese, that melts. This cheese is better as a topping not for inside an enchilada

    Enchiladas were 20.99 over priced. Cheese was not melted at all and cold. Kids did not like them but was starving so ate it anyways. Sauce and rice was good though. Customer service not the best today.

    I had this place bookmarked for ages! The flavors were all amazing and there is a ton of variety. I had the Flor de Oaxaca and while I enjoyed it, the meat portions were small and just ok. The mole was incredible and I would order that again in a heartbeat. My wife had camarones de ajo (garlic shrimp) and it was good. We had the nopales appetizer and I thought it was pretty bland. If you like nopales, maybe you'll think differently. The service was fantastic and this place is a small gem located in Santa Ana. The parking lots is cramped and there were some shady characters in the lot. I'll be back and work my way through the menu and update this review.

    Going to an event at the Bowers so thought we would try something in the area. It's a small restaurant in a strip mall but service was prompt and pleasant. We tried the Delicias de Oaxaca platter loaded with different filled masa items and dried beef, marinated pork, chorizo and chicharron. There were also terrific red and green salsas and complementary chips with mole and cotija cheese. I also ordered the nopales salad and had to try the chapulinas, well just because. Ended with a warming cup of slightly sweetened and spiced cafe de olla which was just perfect.

    A little hole in the wall and so glad I found it. The food was fresh and delicious! Service was great and there was even live music. Highly enjoyed my dinner

Thanks to Restaurant Week, we stumbled upon this gem, and we are so grateful. The hospitality alone would earn five stars. But then came the food. The tacos? Absolutely exceptional. The steak was tender and flavorful in a way that reminded me of eating throughout Mexico, you could actually taste the meat. A light, gentle pickle of vegetables on top, minimal cheese, nothing heavy or greasy. These are not the American-style tacos drowning in a pound of melted cheese. These are the real thing. The beans were lovely, the rice was solid, and my passion fruit winearita drink was genuinely a treat. Restaurant Week gave us the perfect low-pressure reason to try somewhere new, and we walked out with a new favorite. We'll be back for lunch. We'll be back for dinner. And yes, Taco Tuesday, we'll absolutely be back for that.

    This was a great spot for dinner. The drinks were also delicious…read more I see that the restaurant had mixed reviews but honestly, our group of 4 all enjoyed our meal. It was a perfect date night! I ordered the mole enchiladas and they did not disappoint. The margaritas were tasty and the warm chips and salsa tasted amazing too. We spoke to the owner on the way out, as he thanked us for being there. And also let us know they also do brunch! Looking forward to coming back.

It is next to a gas station. It looks like a pretty popular place during the lunch hour. It's a smaller place inside, but they do have an outdoor patio. We were able to find a small table, not too far from the front counter. Ordering at the front was easy. The staff was friendly and quick. We could see the cook grilling up the meats as we placed our order. There were at least five different salsas to choose from as well as cucumbers and a chili oil at the self-serve salsa bar. I noticed a customer in front of us ordered a kids plate which included two street tacos and rice and beans. That's what I ended up ordering with Carne Asada and chorizo. There were four or five proteins to choose from for the kids plate. I loved the grilled meats with the char flavor. It was delicious! Everything was well seasoned. I wish I would've ordered a third or maybe even a fourth taco because it was that good! I will definitely come back many times and it's going to be on our lunch rotation for sure.
