Cenaduría Oaxaqueña Donaji

Everything is exceptionally good! Authentic Oaxacan food. They open at 6pm. It is a home with white canopies in their yard. Parking is accommodating but there is also street parking. Cash or Zelle only. Be prepared just in case you don't have either. I ordered the memelitas with a side of tasajo. It was very delicious. The side salsas are very good. Not overly spicy but just enough to make it tasty with a kick. I also had a tamal de mole. The mole is sweet and not too thick. The masa is soft and not too dense. You get to the chicken on that first bite. :)

Ordered two thin crust pizza and both were very good and better than I expected. I loved the texture of the thin crust. It was better than most pizza places.

Moved to Riverside couple years ago. I been heading to Orange County for some tlayudas, but not no more staying here in IE. Food is very authentic, service is far better than other places. Servers take your order and order is serve so quickly. Thank you food and atmosphere is wonderful

If you're looking for authenticity, this is the place! From the aroma of smoky grilled meat to the live Mexican music under a white tent lined with flags, the destination is a delicious experience! We were greeted warmly by the woman rolling out fresh masa and the men grilling incredible carne asada and chorizo. Everything was clean and organized. Our server spoke minimal English, but we managed just fine. The fresh horchata was delicious and not too sweet. Two different sauces and a basket full of toppings were delivered to our table. We ordered tlayuda and molote. Portions are huge! The cheese was especially tasty, stringy and sharp.Prices are not listed on the menu! It roughly amounted to $15 per plate and $5 for horchata. We had to ask for tableware, but mostly ate with our hands anyways. We left feeling full and satisfied and were encouraged to stay longer to enjoy more music. The destination made for a great night! A two hour dinner that felt like a vacation. Nice!

My husband found this spot here on yelp so we decided to try since I'm actually Oaxacan. Both my parents are from Oaxaca so we like to try Oaxacan restaurants when we find them.Upon arrival, the surrounding area wasn't very inviting so we rounded the block again before deciding to park and get off. The driveway was large so we were able to park inside. They had a portable potty as well as a large hand washing station. I personally hate porta potties so if we were to come again, I'd make sure to use the bathroom before coming. Luckily, I didn't have to go this time so we washed out hands and proceeded to enter the las the canopy. We asked if we should just sit or wait for someone and were instructed to just have a seat. They had a cute little store as well that I actually checked out after we ordered our food. They carry several handmade items from Oaxacan artisans.At the table, we were brought a menu. The menu didn't have prices on any of the items. We ordered some of our favorite Oaxacan food items: a tlayuda, a memela, and an horchata with nieve de tuna. Unfortunately, the horchata sold out right before we ordered ours. We got a jarritos de pina but we're accidentally brought a different flavor. They were able to quickly switch it to the correct one.When our food came out, we were not given any utensils We ended up just eating finger foods style (so glad we had washed our hands right when coming in)!We wanted to order more food, but by the time we were halfway done, we saw the outdoor kitchen being cleaned. The pots, pans, etc were all being put away and they were wiping the area down. We decided to just ask for the check. The lady who charged us gave us a total, without bringing an actual "order" receipt with the total on there. I proceeded to ask how much each item was just so we'd know for next time. She did verbally break it down for us and explained they don't add prices to the menu because it helps them not have to change the menu over and over when prices have to increase.Overall, the food was good. Especially for being in riverside, the Oaxacan taste was mostly there. Would we return? Yeah, probably. However, I also do think, although very scarce, there are better Oaxacan food places in SoCal.

Best place for real authentic Oaxaca food. We were greeted with friendly smiles all around. Very homey feel. Just like mom

Is there a way to leave a 10-star rating? This place is ridiculously amazing. The tlayudas are incredible. It's like dropping into a mom n pop roadside restaurant in Mexico.

Food was delicious The memela and cecina 10/10 I loved the hot chocolate too And the fried quesadillas amazing!!!

Great services, fast and friendly. Food is delicious and authentic. We purchased a Tlayuda with 3 meats, 1 quesadilla, and two horchatas Oaxaqueñas. 10/10 We will be back!
