Mole Enchiladas de pollo con mole and Tlayuda
Lety M.

I first came here April of 2025 and absolutely loved the mole and chile rellenos. I came back this March 2026 and still had the mole chicken enchiladas and a tlayuda doblara which were amazing. The people are so friendly and nice. The vibes are very family friendly and relaxed.

Carne asada fries
Amanda A.

Me and my husband decided to check this place out as we were in the area. When we arrived, there was only one other couple dining there. The restaurant was practically empty. We were immediately seated. It did take our server a while to take our drinks order, but we weren't in a hurry, so we didn't mind. My husband ordered the Horchata. He said it was "okay" as he isn't used to the drink being mixed with lime flavor. I ordered the water. We ordered our food. My husband ordered the Carne Asada fries, and I ordered the chilaquiles with green sauce, sunny side up eggs and chicken for an additional $3. We waited about 20-30 minutes for our food, and it arrived. My husband enjoyed his fries and said the meat was good and tasted fresh. I also really enjoyed my chilaquiles. This place is more on the pricey side, but still good to check out if you are in the mood for Oaxaca food!

Enchiladas de mole with black beans!
Daniel C.

Super glad I decided to stop by here for dinner! I ordered the enchiladas de mole with a side of black beans and a half sweet/half unsweetened (basically half sweet) cafe de olla. The waiter brought over chips and salsa which I killed almost completely before the entree came - that salsa was amazing. The food came out and it was smothered in the velvety, chocolatey mole that I love so much. This spot makes theirs a little more on the sweet chocolate side than most places, but I realized that I prefer it this way, so it was perfect. The enchiladas come full of shredded chicken and by the 3rd one, I was stuffed. I will say the black beans were a surprise, because I was expecting whole black beans, but instead they were a puree. Which, were great, don't get me wrong, but I was not expecting that. Overall a great meal, friendly staff and reasonable prices! Definitely will be back!

Huevos Rancheros , CHAPULINES , chilaquiles

We enjoyed Sunday brunch here , I ordered the huevos rancheros and my husband ordered Chilaquiles verdes with carne asada and eggs . We also tried the chapulines and they were prepared really well. We came from San Diego and I'm glad we chose LA Oaxaca Restaurant for breakfast we were not disappointed. Really good food. Great service as well and the cafe de olla

Enchiladas de pollo con mole

Nice place - seemed to be clean and staff were friendly though they probably needed an additional server. Food was good not great, and portions were generous. I will return to try other menu items.

Handmade tortilla(spoon for size comparison) $2 each
Pati V.

Delicious food and very friendly staff. The tlayida is delicous. Everything that we've had so far has been Delicious.

Tlayuda Mixta

The food is great and so is the customer service. I really enjoyed everything. Definitely recommend the tlayudas.

Enchilada de pollo con mole
Eisen Y.

I've been wanting to check out this place when they first opened. It did not disappoint! I had the enchiladas de pollo con mole, and it's VERY filling! The mole was rich and well balanced. Very flavorful. It's a small restaurant with a homey vibe. Great for lunch or dinner, although they also serve breakfast until late into the afternoon.

Barbacoa de res

The food is too expensive and the meat is poor quality. Portions are awful. I wouldn't suggest this place to anyone.

Chicken with mole
C.E. C.

Would go back for authentic Oaxacan dishes. Mole with chicken was great as was salad. First time trying Tlayuda with chorizo and it was yummy. They give large portions and serve a shot of mezcal with tasty garnishes. Cute decor and parking is manageable. Friendly service in another quality eatery in Koreatown!

Elena M.

the server was friendly, outgoing, good volume of music we could hear each other, feels homey and the food is SO good!!! I shared with my friend and we got full. Plates are big, tasty, and filling.

Really delicious

Since they don't have a liquor license - can we bring our own beer or wine to enjoy with our meal?

Hey there, no need we actually do have a liquor license, you’re welcome to stop by and enjoy our mezcal or tequila margaritas

We had intended to go to the bar next door, but one look at the crowd there and the loud throbbing music turned us off. I had wanted to go to Mi Corazon anyway, and was glad the group agreed. Lots of great mezcal and tequila options, as well as a well-stocked bar with wine, beer and cocktails. And the food menu looks great, but we didn't try it. Next time! The bartender was great and served us at our table. Brought us chips and a delicious homemade spicy salsa. The atmosphere was perfect for conversation, with good indie music playing at the right level. I will be back.

1 Star -- Extremely disappointing experience…read more Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was horrible from the moment we arrived. When I first arrived, I gave them the name of our reservation, and the staff had no idea what I was talking about. We were a party of 6, yet they seated us at a tiny table that was clearly not appropriate for our group. When it was time to order, my husband very clearly told the waiter which pasta he wanted and even showed him a picture of the item on the menu. The waiter looked at it and agreed. My food came out, but my husband's food never did. We eventually found out that his order was never even put in. What made it worse was when the waiter came out saying, "Oh my God, I thought you said you didn't want it." Everyone at the table looked at him completely confused because my husband had literally told him what he wanted and showed him the menu item. Instead of simply acknowledging the mistake and fixing it, we were left waiting. On top of that, trying to get anyone's attention was nearly impossible. We had to repeatedly try to get someone's attention just to get basic service. Then there was another issue with the entrance fee. My sister-in-law had messages showing that we were told that if we ate at the restaurant, we would no longer have to pay the entrance fee. We showed those messages to the woman handling the wristbands, but instead of looking into it or speaking to someone who could clarify the situation, she simply said, "I don't know, you have to pay." No attempt was made to investigate or resolve the issue. After everything that happened, they still added a tip to the bill, despite the extremely poor service we received. Overall, this was one of the most frustrating restaurant experiences I've had. Poor communication, poor service, lack of organization, and no effort to make things right. I definitely will not be recommending this place to anyone, and we will not be returning.

As you enter the main dining room, there's a show. A couple people are laying down an energetic beat on a large marimba while guitarists play traditional Oaxacan melodies. Chapulines: These toasted grasshoppers are crispy like chips or fried shrimp. Seasoned with olive oil, garlic, salt, and chile de arbol, they'd be s great snack with a cold beer. Tear off a piece of the house-made tortilla and form a taco with some chapulines, avocado, Oaxacan string cheese, and salsa. Mole Rojo: The incredible red mole is a complex blend of warm spices. There's layers of creamy nuttiness from toasted almonds, peanuts, and sesame seeds. Heirloom tomatoes provide redness and sweetness. The Chilhuacle rojo is an heirloom chili pepper from Oaxaca known for a citrusy fig-like flavor with jalapeño-like heat. Ancho chilies add some faint smokiness. The aromatic spices like cinnamon and cloves add to the boldness of smooth comforting flavors. With giant, juicy, and tender pork ribs and rice, and more house-made tortillas, it's easy to clean up all the delicious mole! Flan: For my continuing birthday month festivities, my friends surprised me with a big slice of flan with a candle. The custard is cold, thick, rich, smooth, and creamy. Parking: They have a huge valet parking lot for $7. There's also street parking in the neighboring streets.

Maybe they're really good at what they do, but I'm just not into authentic mole sauce and tostadas?…read moreI feel like we sampled a big part of the menu (4 kinds of mole with shredded chicken, a huge Tlayuda and a Mamela sampler (5 tostados, but not easy to share each kind because it's hard to cut), but nothing really stood out for me. The food prices were reasonable (but not drinks - they were pricey!), but I guess it's hard to live up to the level of hype this place gets (Eater LA, James Beard nom, lots of other awards, etc). My 3-star award would set expectations at a more realistic level. Regret not going to a Korean place in koreatown.

Last time I was here was last June & the menu prices were not the correct prices. I was not notified of this by the waitress but when I received the receipt. A difference of $3 for the burritos from the menu prices. The waitress's reasoning was they haven't got their new menus OK no problem. I go back today, 3.5 months later. The burrito menu prices have not been corrected in the menu & I revise the receipt w an increase of $3 and no indication on the menu. The waitress uses the same excuse as she did in June, except this time I call her out on it. She states that it indicates that "prices are subject to change", in very small print. I inform her that that change must be indicated by the waitress or the menu by California law. Even though I brought this to her attention, she stuck by it. She also charged twice for cheese. I also paid for the Large burrito but it came out the mini-burrito. I hate to say, but this place is practicing pricing deception. The owner and the supervisors better correct this, quick. It is the waitresses job to inform the customers of the price increase. This Is technically theft, just like if a customer walks out on a bill. I didn't argue. I just adjusted the tip accordingly. These are tough times & no one should be taken advantage of. Manny would not be cool w this. ***Just spoke w the Manager Ghay about the issue & he was unwilling to listen, & very defensive. He claims that he knows the law & does not have to indicate the current prices. After I explained he was violating city laws by not informing patrons of prices. He said I could speak to the owner "Carlos" & hung up on me. This guy is gonna learn the hard way that he's committing theft. This guy better change his tune bc the place is usually empty these days.
