El Fortin screams AUTHENTIC!!!! I had been craving mole for a very very very long time. And I am so glad that I got to visit El Fortin because their mole completely hit the spot!!! The flavors were completely authentic which is so rare and hard to find! I never had Clayuda and soooo glad we ordered it because it was so amazing! Completely fell in love with the cheese, quesillo, tasajo, cecina, chorizo, avocado combo! Our drinks, horchata and tamarindo, were like no other! There's pieces of fruit topping in the horchata which made it special and unique. I also got to taste the prickly pear ice cream - sooo good!Customer service was attentive, food came out in good timing. Love the authentic ambiance, completely comfy and casual!The restaurant is located in a plaza with other businesses so parking isn't an issue. There are no restrooms located inside but is available outside.

We came with my wife's parents (full Mexicans) and they really like it. My wife and her mom got the massive Clayuda. I guess you don't really this in most Mexicans restaurants as this is Oaxacan food. Her dad and I got enchiladas. IMO they were decent. (I got the mole ones). I've had better in Tijuana but that's a high standard to beat. The agua frescas and horchata are not that sweet if you like them sweet.Pros - the clayuda is massive. My enchilada plate was decent sized.- Price is reasonable - Friendly staff- nice decor- they have ice cream inside too (I didn't try it but my suegra said they have a burnt vanilla one or something like that which is really goodCons - a little tight inside Overall 7.5/10

Absolutely loved my experience at this authentic Oaxacan restaurant! The Tlayuda was a standout, bursting with flavor--just like you'd find in Oaxaca itself. The service was impeccable, always attentive and friendly. As for the ambiance, it's wonderfully inviting with vibrant decorations that transport you straight to Mexico. A perfect dining experience from start to finish! Highly recommend! Oh yeah, don't forget to try their Horchata 's I can't wait to return!!!!!

Good traditional food ! I love coming here to eat a good home cooked meal! The chocolate is also good, you can have it in water if you can't do dairy.
