I've been to my share of Oaxacan restaurants since that's where my parents are from. This one wasn't great. First they had us sit outside and it was cold. The coffee that two of my family members ordered were cold by the time they received it. The horchata had too much cinnamon in it and the consistency was terrible. I could barely drink it. Even the water was terrible. I chose to eat tacos and they were so tiny barely the size of my hand. Nothing they had was spicy. My mother asked the waitress if they had Nicuatole and she looked so confused. All the dishes were just normal mexican recipes. One too salty, another no flavor, the only one that was good were the chapulines which were already pre-packaged when they got to the restaurant. We are definitely not going back there again. I should have asked for military discount to save for some of the terrible food.

our favorite spot in the neighborhood! The service is always amazing and the food is top level. I can’t believe the mole comes all the way from Oaxaca, but then I do believe it because it tastes amazing. Any dish with seafood is always on point as well.

So I tried two things at Somos Oaxaca LA. First was the mole negro with chicken and honestly, the sauce is the star. It’s super rich, smoky, a little bitter, with that hint of sweetness and chocolate that sneaks up after a few bites. The chicken just soaks it all in, and the rice on the side is perfect for mopping up the extra sauce. It feels like one of those dishes you just sit with and savor because every bite hits a little differently.
Then I went for the chapulín taco plate. Yeah, the grasshopper one lol. They come toasted, crunchy, kind of nutty and tangy, and when you build the taco with the Oaxacan cheese, guac, onions, and lime, it all balances out. The texture is wild but in a good way. Definitely feels like a “lean into it” type of dish, but it’s actually really good once you do.
Together, it felt like I got the best of both worlds from the deep, soulful side of Oaxaca with the mole, and to the bold, adventurous side with the bug taco.
