Honestly this place is one of the best Oaxacan restaurants I've been to in LA. Had the 3 meat combo. All was flavorful. Even the rice and beans were well seasoned. I'm used to Mexican restaurants in LA treating the sides as an afterthought. Not this place. And like any good restaurant, they close way earlier than they should, so you gotta plan your visit accordingly.

I had the chili vetde enchiladas they have absolutely no flavor. Enchiladas usually come with rice and beans a lot of cheese. They barely sprinkled any on. I will never come here again.

Amazing homemade and authentic Oaxacan food! I live out of town and whenever I'm in the area, I have to visit. The service is always great and the food is always delicious. So far I've tried the tacos de barbacoa, enchiladas de coloradito, huevo con nopales and the Tlayudas - all have been great. Definitely give it a try.

Came here at 5:35pm and they were only taking "To Go" orders. It's challenging coming here because their hours are so limited. We've come here several times in the past for dinner and they were always closed. They finally updated their hours and they close early at 6pm in the evening. Apparently the last dining in is at 5:30pm, but I would try to come earlier to be sure. We ordered the Mole Negro chicken enchiladas and the Carnitas plate. Both of the dishes were very good. The takeout order also comes with salsa (but on the spicy side) and chips.
