Quiadaiyn Restaurant - Book club meeting - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I really want to support a neighborhood restaurant as I live across the street, however the price increases over the last 3-4 years have been completely outrageous. They've subtly increased prices everywhere, as an example an order of steak fajitas use to cost 18$, now 33$ and less portion. The additional 4% service charge to use card has completely turned me off. The staff are nice and friendly and I do feel sorry for them that the owners have taken profiteering to the next level. Sad. read more

I'm not an alcohol connoisseur, but I love the mezcal drinks here. It always has the right type of smoky that holds the fruity accents together rather than being intrusive (akin to getting cigarette smoke blown into your face?). I usually order plates here (Almuerzo Quiadaiyn in the photo), since each one is a mini buffet that you cut up and wrap into tortillas. The experience is like wine with a charcuterie board, but in this case, it's mezcal with a Oaxaca meat plate. I've not gone wrong with any dish or drink here, so explore and try new things in a casual environment. No pressure. The servers are all friendly and happy to help explain anything on the menu. read more

Quiadaiyn Restaurant - Almuerzo Quiadaiyn Plate with Cecina (pork) - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great service by staff and good food (little spicy)!! Why do they charge for extra chips? The parking needs improvement. Other than those two findings, it was good all in all!! read more

They have not improved anything in years and they continue to raise their prices and smaller portions with zero taste

Was in the area and after a bit of searching landed on Quiadaiyn since they offered quite a few vegans options and boy did we hit gold! The atmosphere alone is so cute and welcoming both inside and out. We were greeted right away by a smiling face. Once seated a basket of fresh tortilla chips came out along with salsa and they were both so good. We actually ordered a side of guac to go with it. I also ordered a Sangria which was divine and I had the Zucchini Fajitas which were served with rice, black beans and tortillas. Tortillas handmade and delish, fajitas were sizzling and also delish but the star of the show was definitely the black beans! They were so flavorful that I could have had a huge bowl of it along with the tortillas and died happy. Our server was friendly and amazing. Thank you Verenice! My only complaint is that I ate way too much because it was so good! I got the Vegan Chocolate Cake to go and OH MY GOSH was it ever so delicious. Dense, chocolatey and just the right amount of sweetness. We will 100% be back! Definitely try Quiadayn out I promise you you won't be sorry! read more

Adorable place. Servers were so nice and gave me a sample of tepache before I committed to it. They described it like a kombucha, but I never think kombucha tastes as good as it sounds, and this drink did. I got the enmoladas de quesillo, and my partner got the tlayuda mixta. I absolutely loved my dish because I feel like I got a mix of everything I wanted to try (the mole sauce, something cheesy, and some meat on top). The Tlayuda was also good and large! read more

What a local gem! I've dined here twice and walk by often; there is never a wait. The food is delicious and the staff members are nice. The establishment is clean and there is a patio in the back for larger parties. Definitely worth your time to give this place a try if you've been on the fence! read more

Quiadaiyn Restaurant - Beef fajitas & Mole Amarillo - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Bring your own salsa! ​I really wanted to like this place since I live close and I love Mexican food, but the value just isn't there. The food had a texture that felt like it had been reheated in a microwave rather than prepared fresh. The service was average at best. For these prices, you'd expect better quality. Honestly, most food trucks in the area offer more authentic flavors for a fraction of the cost. ​And what really extra ruined the experience were the different add-ons, a 3% service fee, another 3% for using a credit card, and they even charged me $0.75 for a tiny portion of salsa. It's disappointing when a business prioritizes small fees over customer satisfaction. I won't be returning. read more

Fantastic authentic food! Came here after my flight landed from LAX, was looking for some lunch/dinner and am so glad I came here. I got the mole Amarillo, which is perfect for someone who doesn't always like the chocolate profile of other moles. Chicken was perfect, mole was so good I was drinking it all up at the end, and the vegetable accompaniments were refreshing and light. Also comes with 3 corn tortillas, perfect for the sauce. My husband got the mole negro, which came with rice and tortillas. I normally don't like mole negro as much because the taste can be a bit too strong for me, but this was a delight! I also love how the moles come with chicken, a drumstick AND a piece of chicken breast. It's not just dry or dark meat, it's a blend of both. Service was astounding. Friendly, would explain things, food came out fast. Plenty of seating indoors and on the patio in the back. There's even a decent sized alcohol menu that pairs thoughtfully to any dish you get. 100% recommend and will be coming back for. read more

First time visiting this place, this Restaurant Quiadainyn was presentable good atmosphere. The service was exceptional the waitress was nice very attentive. According to the menu the food is authentic Zapoteco style; what a shame, cafe con canela was terrible, main course was Salsa de Chicharron very salty no flavor it was meat and tomato sauce. If you looking for Authentic Oaxacan food DO NOT VISIT THIS PLACE. Atole blanco was better than cafe con canela read more

Quiadaiyn Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came down here after passing it by so many times to experience some good Oaxacan food. Place was empty and quiet which made it nice to have a chat with my friend. We ordered the Tacos con Barbacoa and Mole Amarillo. Service was quick and the setting of the place was really lovely. Patio was cute and music was great. The food was decent and didn't have too much flavor in terms of the salsa. I wish the food was a bit more filling but I'd recommend getting the two tacos as appetizers. That's all there is to say. read more

If you're looking for thee most AMAZING tasting chilaquiles, look no further than Quiadaiyn! I've been wanting to try chilaquiles for years, ever since I heard Guy Fieri talk about them on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives years ago. Today, for some reason, I finally decided to try them and chose Quiadaiyn, a restaurant near where I work. When I say every bite was PURE HEAVEN! I had salsa and sour cream and didn't even need them. So flavorful and delicious; quintessential comfort food. I only ate half the plate and felt like taking a nap. Not because I'm over full but because the food was like a hug from inside, like being wrapped up in a huge comforter. Absolutely delicious! The picture I took doesn't even do the taste justice. And the young lady who took my order was great. I was hoping for decent, worth my money at least, but this plate FAR exceeded my expectations. So, so good! read more

Amazing food, everything ordered has been fantastic-highly recommend. We picked up so not sure if in dining experience.

The mole here is to die for! They have all the classic Oaxacan dishes, and I love the selections of mole here. We tried both the mole negro and the mole coloradito. Both had great depth of flavor, with the mole coloradito being the brighter, fruitier, and slightly spicier of the two The back patio with string lighting is super cute, perfect for date night read more

Quiadaiyn Restaurant - Mole Negro - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place was amazing! I was not expecting the quality of the food to be so top notch. We were given complimentary chips and salsa that were very flavorful. The three food items we ordered the Un poquito de totos (appetizer sampler), mole negro (comes with chicken), and the barbacoa (soupy). The server advertised some delicious aqua frescas to us and we were pleased with the horchata, mango, and chayote flavors. This was probably the best mole negro I had in terms of flavor and texture. I would eat this everyday if I could. The level of sweetness and bitterness were nicely balanced with the chilies. I never had barbacoa served in a soup form before. It was deeelicious. The Mexican rice served with each dish was also very well-made. I really appreciate the server's kindness and attentive. During dinner. I spilled water all over the floor and she mentioned not to worry about it so I could continue enjoying the food. Ty for that. Ambience wise, it felt very cozy and cultural. I would definitely love to come here again read more

I don't really understand the great reviews about this place. We ordered four taquitos and the fried quesadilla. Very bland, and expensive at $16 each. We won't be back. read more

Elevated Oaxaca-style restaurant. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. We sat out in the very well shaded patio. Service is really good, they were all very helpful and attentive. I had high expectations for authenticity based on the reviews. Unfortunately, I feel like the staple items fell short of basic expectation. The salsa and yellow corn tortillas (both the store bought & the handmade ones) were just alright. Mexican food is always accompanied by these items and they can either enhance your food or vice versa. We ordered the chapulines and molotes as our appetizer. Both were really good. We were a party of 6, we ordered: Chiles rellenos, barbacoa de chivo, grilled cactus bowl, huevos con chorizo y papa, and enmoladas de quesillo. We also ordered 4 tamales ala cart. All of our dishes looked great presentation-wise. The mole in the enmoladas is flavorful, with those deep chocolate notes. The barbacoa de chivo was also delicious and cooked well. The rest of the dishes fell short. Describing them with one word: bland. For the price, I expect more. read more

Stumbled upon this place driving into Culver City and super glad to have stopped in. The menu boasted variety and everything sounded super tasty. Enjoyed the back patio ambience and the service was great! Servers knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. Between two people, we shared the Molotes appetizer, Mole Negro, and Almuerzo Quiadaiyn (with tasajo). Definitely enough food with the additional chips and salsa. Molotes we're tasty, but not amazing, and a tad bland. Mole Negro was great and super flavorful. Almuerzo also super great with the variety that came on the plate. Both entrees were great for making tacos with their homemade tortillas. The food was not super greasy and we did not leave feeling super heavy. Very pleased with the quality! Also the chips and salsa were great. Only drawback is it felt pretty pricey (almost $80 for those three items). I would recommend! read more

Love everything about this spot. The charming, authentic, transporting Oaxacan setup. The great service. And of course, the bomb food. I got the barbacoa burrito. Simple and phenomenal. The shredded goat meat was so tender, juicy, and flavorful. Best barbacoa I've ever had. Flour tortilla was fresh and crisp. The shredded cabbage provided some nice crunch, making a balanced texture with the soft barbacoa. The burrito was super juicy with its fresh meat and salsa, yet it retained its shape throughout. 5 stars for Quiadaiyn! read more

Delicious Oaxacan food at fair prices in a very pleasant atmosphere. The Coloradito is my favorite of their many great moles.

As a fellow Oaxaquen, this place is amazing. My mom can cook 90% of this menu, and she is also a fan. We love the service of the waiters and staff. They make sure we have drinks, the food is correct, and check in to see if we need anymore items. The space is always cozy and provides a wonderful ambiance for a family night or a date. read more

We stopped in for lunch after shopping at the Mar Vista Farmers Market. The staff was super friendly, the food delicious, and the cocktails excellent. My husband had the "fancy" orchard, beautiful to look at and so refreshing. We decided to be adventurous and share the "Un Poquito de Todo" with chapulines (grasshoppers). So Good!

First time trying mole and I must say, Quiadaiyn does it well. Everyone in our party ordered the mole and wiped their plates clean and still had room to order dessert. The mole came with chicken and a side of warm corn tortillas. The chicken leg was sooo moist, the meat fell right off the bone. The chicken breast however, was a little dry. I didn't mind it because the easy fix was to drench the chicken in the mole. The rice was amazing and flavorful, I could eat a lot of the rice by itself. For dessert, we had the Tres Leches Cake and Chocolate Cake, both 10/10 A+. The Tres Leches was milky, sweet, and covered in what looked like caramel sauce made in-house. The Chocolate Cake was rich and not too sweet, it tasted like dark chocolate too. The appetizers were also good, best salsa I've ever had (personally not a fan of chunky salsa, so their salsa was perfect, not spicy at all.) Guacamole was so fresh and simple. The restaurant is clean and perfect for family gatherings. With indoor and outdoor seating, Quiadaiyn can accommodate quite a few people. It's a cozy spot with nice paintings and decorations. The servers were also incredibly kind and happy to help. Parking available in the back apparently, but my husband and I parked nearby in the neighborhood (free) and walked no more than 5 minutes. read more

We celebrated my loving wife, Jeanie's B-Day at Quiadaiyn with our entire West Coast family and it was simply outstanding. Oaxacan cuisine at its best with a very personal touch & flair. Chris, our waiter, was just impeccable and treated us like family. The quality of our food and its preparation was incredible. We highly recommend this restaurant for an utterly memorable and uber satisfying set of experiences from libations to desert (the flan was out of this world). Blessings & best wishes to all... read more

My fave Oaxacan restaurant! My fave Mexican one, too, though! I started coming here when they first opened and they were one of my go to places during the pandemic. I still frequent it now. Always friendly service. Delicious food. So fresh. Good portions. Street parking in front. Convenient location at the corner of Venice and Centinela. Very clean and cute restaurant. They take Apple Pay. They have outdoor seating in the back. They even have a section of the menu for vegans. It's called "Vegetarian" but no cheese unless requested. I recommend this place to everyone. Try their nopal (cactus) and their mole, too. They have different types of mole. I just preordered my tamales for the holidays. The frijol molido is vegan. I asked. No cheese. Nothing else but beans and masa. Yum! read more
