    Huevos rancheros
    Alexander J.

    The best Oaxacan food I've ever had! I tried the mole chilaquiles, tlayuda, and huevos rancheros--every dish was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was lively, filled with great music and a happy crowd. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for incredible food and a vibrant environment.

    Carne Asada Plate
    Patty S.

    I remember being here a long time ago... they gave us chips with Mike sauce and quesillo instead of chips & salsa. This is the only reason I came. Things have change since... but we were still able to order. However, they don't have quesillo I was a bit disappointed. They have a happy hour menu. The tacos are good. The margaritas are mild, so that is good (in my personal opinion). The server was attentive and polite. The dinning room is small, but clean. My carne asada was good. All in all - it was a good experience.

    Chips & salsa
    chris q.

    This is a great place although not perfect. The carne asada was delicious. It's not the best in LA in my opinion but I bet most people would really like it. The chips and salsa come out right away and it's really fresh. It was rather mild for a place that is so authentically decorated. The place is small and there isn't a lot of seating but that wasn't a problem. I bet they do a lot of takeout business. I wasn't impressed that a virgin margarita cost $8. Dinner for 1 person cost me $35. That's 1 Diet Coke, 1 virgin margarita, and 1 carne asada plate. The staff was pretty much "down to business". Not overly chatty and nothing was missed. That's kinda a big deal nowadays. I will order from them in the future for sure.

    Al pastor burrito wet with salsa verde

    I'm so glad I live right down the street from this place. I stopped in the other night because I was craving a wet Al pastor burrito and some chips and salsa. The place was pretty clean inside and I was greeted right away. She gave me chips and salsa within a couple minutes of sitting down which was perfect. They have a back patio also which gets pretty lively. I had a passionfruit drink with my dinner which was so good. Can't wait to come back here for happy hour!

    Been going here practically since they opened and now they have a full bar. Love everything about this spot.

    Good food and good drinks. This is a great spot for a casual lunch or a dinner. All the food was yummy and filling and we got a pitcher of mango margarita that was equally as refreshing. Would definitely recommend to sit in the back if you get a chance. The only downside is that this place can be very roudy if there are college students.

    This is an Oaxacan Mexican restaurant so people should understand it is not typical Mexican fare. I was not happy with the meat in my entree(too chewy and leathery)but the server did honor my request to replace it with a fish taco which was only average. Prices are high with my meal costing me $25. The ambience is nice with nice decor and bar but it's a small dining area and it was too cold and drafty.

    Mole. That's why I went. That's what I got. It was great. Look. I'm from the Midwest. Is it "authenticity mole? Don't know, don't care. It was delicious. Do it, get it, and get some more. Price. Was fairly price. Service. Simply okay. Atmosphere. Nonexistent.

    The fact that I found this authentic hidden gem on the Westside of all places is crazy! The Al pastor tacos are FIRE it's better than king tacos'! I'll even go a step further and say it's better than el taurino's in ktown (IFYKYK). Juquila's is the Greatest Mexican Oaxacan food, period!!! It's legit real Mexican food, not that white boy flavorless crap scattered all throughout the westside, they pack the meat, onions, ciltantro, lime, salsa! Old school east la kind of food and the fact that they're on Westside! I scored!!!!!! No more far af drives to the east side. I love you juquila!!!

    Strawberry margarita

    This restaurant is so good!! I sat at the bar and had great service. I loved the strawberry margarita and enchiladas.

We kicked things off with the queso fundido, and wow, it was absolutely delicious! Rich, melty, and packed with flavor, it was the perfect way to start the evening. For my entrée, I ordered the cochinita pibil, which was incredibly tender and saucy in the best way. My husband ordered the short rib, and it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. On the side, we shared the papas bravas and esquite, both of which complemented our dishes perfectly. The drinks truly elevated the night. My husband and I both love mezcal, and Kateen delivered. I ordered the Valentine's Day "Zona Romántica," which featured mezcal and wine almost like a sangria, but completely unique and beautifully balanced. My husband had the "Gypsy Fever," also mezcal-based, and it was smoky, smooth, and refreshing. Between the food, cocktails, and ambiance, it made for such a romantic and memorable evening. We'll absolutely be back!!

This time, we decided to give it another shot since it has so many good reviews, and I'm glad we did. The ambiance was much better, with nice Tulum-style vibes and music that really set the mood. From the moment we walked in, service was great. We were greeted and seated right away thanks to our reservation. Our waitress, Brenda, was friendly, attentive, and super helpful in explaining the menu and recommending drinks. She checked in often and made sure everything came out quickly. The food was good overall, though the menu is a bit limited if you don't eat meat or seafood. I was especially looking forward to the fish tacos, but it seems like they've been removed from the menu. One thing I really appreciated was the mocktail options. Perfect if you're not drinking but still want something fun. The Wes Colada is a great pick if you like piña colada type drinks, though it is on the sweeter side. The michelada was also really well done, with a nice balance of savory and sour. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot for a date night or a girls' night out.

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.

They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. 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.
