Tlayuda LA is an absolute gem!!!! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. Laura (the owner) spoke to me about her commitment to using as many non-processed ingredients as possible and it truly shines through in every dish.The menu offers a delightful variety and is very fairly priced.First I tried 5 beverages. The refreshing lemonade, hibiscus, and tamarind beverages all are made without the use of syrups. The horchata and horchata coffee were great too with a good balance of sweetness.I then has 3 of their tacos. I particularly enjoyed the chorizo, the chorizo has delightful crunch and so much flavour. I also had the tasajo, which was incredibly flavorful and tender. The mole sauce with chicken was another standout, with tender chicken and a rich, velvety sauce. All tortillas are made in house.With my tacos I was served a green salsa and a mild salsa adding just the right amount of kick to each dish. It's evident that the team at Tlayuda values both quality and taste, in my opinion it is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine made with love and care. I can't wait to return with friends and family to share this wonderful experience with them! Thank you so much to the Tlayuda team for making my visit a memorable experience. ☺️

I'll preface this by saying that I've only tried a few Oaxacan restaurants in LA and I'd rate this on par with my other experiences thus far. I ordered the memelita with cecina (basically a larger oaxacan version of a sope) and chicken mole taco. They were both excellent and I'd get again. I only wish that the memelita had come with more meat but the taste was good and the mole tacos came with a lot of meat as you can see. I'd definitely go again to try other options they have.

I’ve eaten twice at Tlayuda and both times have been wonderful! All their food is delicious and the pricing is very competitive! I highly recommend their hot chocolate ? as it’s delicious if you need a cozy drink! Their tacos ? are the regular size that you’ll get full with two of them! I will definitely be coming back a third time! ?Vegetarian options: Veggie tacos
