I got the “quesadilla de mole” it was good and the freshly made tortilla made a huge difference. It all tastes so fresh. Definitely adding this place to my list.

“They have great tamales.”
They have great tamales. Wrapped in banana leaves. Tonight i missed the tamales but the quesadillas are the size of a dinner plate. And are delicious.

OMG! I have t even finished eating and I'm writing this review. It. Is. Delicious! Ordered two tamales verdes and a quesadilla de asada. Perfectly spicy. Fabulous flavors. I can't wait to go back on a weekend and try their weekend specials, particularly their consome de chivo ( goat stew)

“The green tamales where really good, I wish they had the chicken and mole tamales since it's a Oxacan tamales place.”
The green tamales where really good, I wish they had the chicken and mole tamales since it's a Oxacan tamales place. Otherwise, it's just a green leaf tamale.

“Place is small and building old but it is clean.”
Place is small and building old but it is clean. It has about 4 table booths. We came to buy Tamales Oaxaqueños but they didn't have any. They have other food options but two other items that I asked for from menu not available. I ended ordering consomé & it was good. I think they can improve on their waiting skills and having all the food options offered on the menu.
