    Molcajete
    Wesley W.

    First, this place is on a corner lot with a funky parking. Street parking is available and it's in an industrial area. Inside, they have tables and looks like it can accommodate large groups. Service is excellent and friendly and attentive. They serve chips drizzled with Oaxacan mole. We ordered their molcajete and it was great. Filled with tasajo (which is a dried, salted, and often sun-cured beef, commonly found in Mexican and Cuban cuisine), chicken breast, nopales, chorizo and shrimp and cheese and garnished with jalapenos, bell peppers in savory sauce. Wish there was more sauce but the price/value was excellent. Definitely a solid choice for Oaxacan food and Molcajetes.

    Such a wonderful early dinner my family and I had today. Great food and great service by great people. Clean beautiful ambiance. Thank you to the chefs and wait staff. My son loved his caldo de res, my husband really enjoyed his menudo dish and I loved the red Oaxaca mole dish. Try their Oaxaca horchata.

    This is what you call a hole In the wall/ family owned restaurant.. arrived and the location its kinda lonely and industrial like .. but the inside is clean and the lady serving us what's super nice .. food is a bit on the higher end but we were all satisfied and portions are big 4 dishes an extra order of their delicious tortillas and drinks was about $175

    The food is ok. The food for kids is not great for the price. I don't have a photo but the kids taquito was 2 rolled up palm sized tortillas con pollo with a x small chicken soup for $10 no drink or other sides included. Better off buying regular entree for them. The food is overpriced and over hyped. Although the molecajete was decent . I ordered menudo which was ok . I wouldn't come back , I've had way better

    Came here for the first time and don't regret trying this place. Their mole was probably the best I've ever had. It had a lot of flavor and the perfect amount of kick. We also got the barbacoa per the server's recommendation and the meat was very tender. The portion size is good as well.

    The molcajete was $43 and beer $6. The tasajo was the best! Service was also super fast and nice

    We got Barbacoa with goat and red chicken mole. Both very good and authentic! Staff is very friendly too! Definitely recommend

    Not the worse but also not the best, we'll stick with our regular place for Oaxacan food. They don't offer complementary chips, even if they are not with Coloradito on top, just no comp chips at all. The flavor of the food is not bad but the portions look stingy. One good thing is that we didn't have to wait too long for the food, since they other 3 tables there were done and started to leave. I don't know about other plates, but at least the ones we ordered are not making us come back. In regards to service, a "Good Afternoon, Welcome " would be nice.

    The food is incredible. Probably some of the best mole I have found in LA. And the tortillas are hand made there.

    Was looking for Oaxacan food near USC and I'm extremely happy that I found this place! I do think it's unfortunate that you have to find parking a block or more away, since this place deserves more hype! The inside is very nice and has an authentic Mexican feel. I did notice that since we were the only people there, half of the tables still had their chairs up-I'm assuming they haven't been very busy lately. When my friend and I went in, the staff were so kind and happy to help us. Our server came by to welcome us and to suggest some signature dishes. She even gave us a sample of the mole - which was delicious. I ordered the tlayuda and an agua fresca and they very much satisfied my cravings for good Oaxacan food! I truly hope more people discover this place because they deserve to be recognized for their great attitudes and great food!

    This is a little hidden restaurant that I am sure a ton of people miss. Its not the fanciest place ever but the food is good. If you are looking for a place that sells some good authentic food from oaxaca then this one is not going to disappoint. Today I ordered some chicken in mole and I really liked it. the taste of the mole was very good and it went well with the chicken. I also got the guacamole and loved it. Pros -Parking in the back -Small and cozy -Good prices Cons -They should put a sign that says parking in the back

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!

    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.

For Dine LA, I started with the Tostada Campechana, which was like an elevated ceviche with scallops, tuna, yellowtail, avocado, and a citrus sesame sauce. Everything tasted super fresh and the citrus gave it the perfect balance. The Bone Marrow Mole was rich, flavorful, and came with a generous portion and toast. For my main course, I had the skirt steak, which was cooked perfectly--tender, well-seasoned, and delicious with the green sauce. The homemade tortillas were amazing too. We ended with the Dulce de Leche Panna Cotta, and it was the perfect finish--creamy, smooth, not overly sweet, and so good we practically cleaned the plate.

The oysters were fresh, the taco fritos were also really good. Crispy, potato shrimp, and delish. I love yucca fries and enjoyed the sauces that came with it. The green one wasn't as spicy as the reddish one. I ordered the mole bone marrow and I was surprised to see if came with toasted white bread instead of a hard slice of baguette. Which I am thankful for. Most places overcharge for bone marrow so I was happy to see this one the menu for a decent price. I found metered parking 1 block south and although it would be a little sketchy at night, the time I went and left didn't pose any issues for me.

Since they live in an area with limited Mexican cuisine, I chose Guelaguetza, a James Beard Award-winning restaurant with authentic Oaxacan recipes, something completely new to them. They were excited to try something different, as they don't have many Mexican food options where they live, and I wanted to expand their culinary horizons. We were greeted with complimentary chips - some were drizzled with mole and Oaxacan cheese, which we requested refills of, and others were served with red and green salsas. The green salsa had a nice kick to it. For our meal, we shared two large dishes: the Festival de Moles ($53.00) and the Tlayuda Guelaguetza ($27.50). The Tlayuda Guelaguetza, which is also called a Mexican pizza, was layered with bean and chicharron spread, queso fresco, cabbage, quesillo, beef tasajo, pork Cecina, and pork chorizo. While I've always wanted to try Tlayuda, this one wasn't good, and I wouldn't recommend it. The pork chorizo was particularly unappetizing, and neither my parents nor I enjoyed the dish, feeling it was a waste of money. The Festival de Moles ($53.00) featured four individual moles - negro, rojo, coloradito, and estofado - with a choice of shredded chicken breast or pork spare ribs. We opted for a mix of both and found this dish to be excellent, and we would definitely order it again. They were very impressed with the moles, and enjoyed them for the first time. The only minor complaint was a lack of tortillas to dip with the mole, though they did provide some rice. We ordered several drinks, which significantly increased the bill. I was surprised we spent $200 on lunch for three people with only two meals. I started with the Pasion De Oaxaca ($16.00), a mezcal, tequila, passion fruit, grapefruit juice, and tajin cocktail that was excellent, perfectly balanced, strong, but not too sweet. For my second drink, I had the refreshing Aquas Frescas - Jamaica ($6), which was perfect after my meal. I even took it to go, and they kindly provided a cup. My dad ended up taking it, as he needed it with his medication (they're old!). My parents, who were trying mole for the first time, were very impressed and really enjoyed it. Our only minor complaint was the lack of tortillas to dip in the mole, although they did provide some rice. The food took a little longer to come out, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. I imagine this type of cuisine is labor-intensive, and you can't rush the cooking time for mole. You just have to trust the process! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Guelaguetza Restaurante and will definitely be back. I can see why they're a James Beard Award-winning restaurant; you can get authentic Oaxacan flavors in LA! We're lucky to live here.
