Always love this place. The staff is so welcoming it feels like you are a guest . The mole is very good with a touch of heat to balance the sweetness.

Very good first time experience. The Totopos (the combo of the chips, mole, cheese, crema, etc. were delicious) and the 11" Tlayuda Garden topped with spicy cauliflower were the highlights of the night.

This place lives up to the reviews. We had an incredible experience all around with the most authentic Mexican food, drinks, and amazing service. The staff was attentive and the chefs produced food of the upmost quality, shooting us back to our trip to Oaxaca. We look forward to coming back!

Fantastic mole and an excellent meal overall. 10/10 recommend. We had the guac, aguachile, beef short rib mole (incredible) and chicken tinga mole (wonderful). Margs were also good. Highly recommend for some delicious Oaxacan food and a great ambience.

Great Oaxacan food and full bar. We got a bunch of dishes to share (aguachile, queso, tlyuda, mole short ribs, chile relleno). Everything was delicious! They have a selection of high quality mezcals - I ordered the flight. I didn't try their cocktails, but our friends really enjoyed theirs. Highly recommend!
