The food tastes good. I was excited to have a real tlayuda but the portions of the meat, the avocado and tomato in it vs the price I think it’s not proportional. A bit disappointed there.

Great lunch experience, cozy place, affordable and truly delicious food and beverages. Traditional flavors, only compared to street food this is bistro style, way more fresh, tasty and carefully served, prepared, close to fine dining level. Kudos, I will be back for more!

A small Oaxacan spot serving tlayudas the size of a pizza. The flavors are bold, with fresh ingredients and perfectly grilled meats. The place is casual and welcoming, with friendly service. It feels very authentic compared to most Oaxacan food in LA. Prices are fair considering the portions
