El Tule is a cozy restaurant with a neighborhood feel. The super nachos, fish tacos, and chicken tacos are amazing. The service is excellent, with friendly and warm staff. Guests can try the horchata and tasty sangria. The chicken tamale combo and chicken enchilada in Verde sauce are flavorful and authentic. The mole verde is tasty, featuring tender chicken, while the quesadilla with shrimp is cheesy and made with quality ingredients. Customers have enjoyed the Botana Oaxaqueña, which includes delicious cheese empanadas and chicken taquitos. Despite occasional stale chips, the food quality remains good, with highlights like a grilled pork platter served with handmade tortillas, fluffy rice, and tasty refried black beans. A lovely experience includes fresh chips and salsa, good portions, and spicy salsa. The restaurant has a clean and casual space, adorned with a lovely tree mural and decorative lighting. Located right next to Oakridge mall, there's plenty of parking, making it a hidden gem worth visiting.
