Mole negro below and mole colorado above
Claudia S.

They have a good happy hour but I came for the classic open faced Tlayudas. All of the meats were perfectly seasoned and tender to the bite. It comes with cecina, tasajo and chorizo so good. The totopo had soooo much quesillo I could make quesadillas on the side. They also gave us a sampler of the classic black mole and the mole Colorado which are deliciously are made fresh to order. The black mole was mild but the mole Colorado did have a spicy kick. I'm so happy to have found an authentic Oaxacan restaurant and look forward to trying more of their dishes. I highly recommend this Oaxacan family run restaurant when in the Norwalk area!!!

Very unassuming from the outside. The inside is nice our waiter was extremely friendly. We got the mole chicken enchiladas and the Barbacoa the flavor was incredible! Literally an explosion of flavor! I don't know what they put in the beads but there is a delicious taste to them. This is our first time here and certainly will not be our last! I highly recommend it! Unfortunately I did not take pictures of the food.

Tacos Oaxaca (3)--asada!!
Eunhae H.

I've never had an Oaxaca taco but I love how this place does it! Their corn tortilla is so fresh and tastes like it's homemade. I tried their asada taco, which is topped with onions, cilantro, red and avocado salsa. I also tried their Shrimp Fajita, which comes with a side of rice, beans, and tortillas. This dish was served piping hot and was the star of the show! The shrimp was nice and plump and the sautéed veggies were so flavorful. Not to mention their decor--it's super festive with a stage for live performance. The restaurant is fairly spacious with two big screen TVs. Service is decent and food is great so I'll definitely be coming back!

Love their mole. Food is good, service is fast, and authentic Oaxaca vibe! Oh and don't forget el cafe de olla

Mole enchiladas and camarones a la diabla
Joshua M.

We've been here a couple times. This time I ordered the chicken mole enchiladas and my wife ordered camarones a la diabla. She said they were the best she's had in a while and same for me with the enchiladas. The homemade nuez ice cream was great as well.

The café de olla is one of the best I've ever had. Everything we ordered had authentic flavoring and textures. The empanadas with chorizo and papas were perfectly crunchy and delicious. The steak with the enfrijoladas was so tender and fresh. I love mole and am super particular but the mole negra blew my socks off. The mix of fajitas were very fresh as well. Service was good. The music from the kitchen definitely set the vibe that the cooks/chefs were the real deal. The only negative was there was no towels in the bathroom or seat covers. We will definitely come back to try more items though.

Absolutely delicious and truly authentic Oaxacan food! My mom is from Oaxaca, and I visit pretty often, so I'm very familiar with the food and flavors. I can definitely say this place is the real deal -- everything tasted just like the food I've had in Oaxaca. Everything we tried was delicious, and the service was incredibly friendly and welcoming. If you're looking for a real taste of Oaxaca and an authentic experience, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend!

Queso Fundido Zapoteco, Huarache c/ Nopal, Flor y Calabaza Empanada
Bev L.

Finally had a chance to try Oaxaca Village in Artesia--and I'm so glad I did! I live nearby and have been curious about it for a while. Went with a group of friends and we had a great experience from start to finish. We ordered margaritas (so good!), Tlayuda, huarache nopal, flor de calabasa empanadas, guacamole, and my personal favorite--queso fundido. Everything was flavorful and fresh, but that queso fundido was next level! The atmosphere is casual and great for hanging out, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. Looking forward to going back soon to try their moles--I've heard great things. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area or just love authentic Oaxacan food!

Located in a strip mall in Cerritos, Oaxaca Village serves authentic renditions if many Oaxacan favorites such as mike, tasajo, cecina, served in homemade corn

Menu

Came in during lunch time. There was no one inside. The guy taking our order wanted us to order almost right when we got the menu but since it was our first time we were really looking through it. My tlayuda was underwhelming. Where was the Oaxacan cheese?! The chicken was dry. There was barely enough mole on the whole thing. The tortilla part got super hard right away, almost stale honestly. It was a bummer because I love going to new Oaxacan food places. My friend liked her torta, gave that a 3/5.

Churros & Ice Cream
Ed T.

Kelvin took good care of us. The food was on point, really authentic and enjoyable! All dishes that came out were devoured by our table. The music and decor are all charming. The table decor is spot on for the vibe. I recommend you all check this place out. We'll be back.

My friend & I came here yesterday for late lunch. It was our first time here. Place was pretty empty since it was an odd time so we got seated right away. Atmosphere was cute & festive. Service was nice & they provide comped chips if you ask for it but service is slow. My friend tried the caldo de pollo & I tried the chicken mole tacos. It was my first time trying mole & surprisingly, it wasn't as sweet & flavorful. The corn tortilla was fresh & tasted authentic. The chicken was tender too. I tried some of my friend's caldo de pollo & the broth tasted healthy & homemade. It was delicious & my friend enjoyed it as well. I just wish the temp of the broth was hot & not lukewarm. Before we left, I ordered chicken enchiladas to take home for my husband. He loved it. I also tried some of it & it was thumbs up. I like that their menu has extensive options to choose from & they all sound appealing. I look forward to coming back to try other items on the menu

I had a beautiful experience in this place, the waiter Alan was very attentive and fun with us, even dancing when delivering the food, very good customer service, the food delicious, the mezcal margaritas that we ordered very well prepared, we grabbed mango and jamaica. From eating, we ordered melted oaxaca cheese and a large tlayuda to share between 3. It was very filling. Price is affordable. They have live music. Outside there is plenty of parking and it is close to the freeway. There is no regrets if you visit this place. I highly recommend them.

Is your mole gluten free? Do you know if it has flour/wheat in it? Thank you!

Hi , im Alan and to let you know our mole is gluten free and does not have flour or wheat as ingredients:) thank you for asking !

There's a sign outside that stays LA street burritos sold here. What exactly does this kind of burrito look like?

slightly larger version of the classic Mexican burrito: a guisado with stewed or refried beans, salsa or chile, and cheese is considered an LA style burrito. Some also grill the burrito to slightly toast the tortilla

Hello, I hope you are well. Do you use peanuts (cacahuates) in your mole or almonds (almendras)?

Yes Our mole we do have cacahuates and almendras.

A friend of mine is a Cerritos local, and this was our second visit. First and foremost, the staff was amazing. The gentleman working the front door was incredibly polite and welcomed us with a smile, even wishing us a great time as we walked in. The two bartenders were outstanding. Unfortunately, I didn't catch both of their names, but their level of customer service was exceptional. They were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the night. For food, we ordered the lumpia and the pepperoni flatbread pizza. Both were absolutely delicious, and I highly recommend trying them. We also enjoyed a couple of ice-cold beers. I ordered a glass of water as well, and my water was refilled almost immediately every time it was empty--a small detail that really stood out. The DJ kept the atmosphere fun and lively, and we were able to catch the MMA fights on their multiple flat-screen TVs, which made the experience even better. My buddy Jason says this is the best dive bar in Cerritos. After this visit, I'd have to agree. In fact, the customer service we received here was better than what I've experienced at many upscale, "bougie" establishments. Outstanding food, excellent drinks, incredible service, and a great atmosphere. Job well done, Shipmates! I'll definitely be back.

The location is a little hidden and was somewhat difficult to find at first, but once inside, everything was well organized and easy to navigate. The staff did an excellent job throughout the event--friendly, attentive, and impressively fast despite the crowd. I also appreciated that they limited the number of guests, which kept the atmosphere lively without feeling overcrowded. It was nice that this wasn't strictly an adults-only environment, as we were able to bring our child along and still enjoy the experience. The food was good, the service was great, and the overall setup made for an enjoyable afternoon of soccer. We'll definitely be back during football season to catch a few games.

What perfect thing to do then go to the only German restaurant I know in the LBC. No reservations, they took me in with no questions. The place was getting packed and reservations name plates were on the table. Luckily my table had no reservation signs posted. Ordered Devil Eggs, German Beer in a boot and White Sangria. The German beer in the boot was awesome! It looked really cool. German accordian music was jamming in the background. To make the long story short, the ambiance was really festive. Workers dressed up in German Attire. Drinks and food was good. Kudos to Elena for being professional and friendly. She was awesome. Would definitely come back here to experience Germany in my backyard.

That's another project. Rasselbock Kitchen was very authentic German food. I ordered the best Wienerschnitzel and my husband got a very delicious sausage. We also ordered a giant pretzel, which was yummy and two beers to wash it down. Service was great, although a little hot without air-conditioning on. Lots of parking in the back. Will definitely be going again.
