“Muy rico todo desde los Chilaquiles hasta el Mole.... no se dida el Tepache... 10 de 10”
“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.”
“Great Tamales both green and Red, Quesadilla Chicharron prensado was amazing.”
“The tamales and chilaquiles were so delicious! Definitely coming back for those perfectly steamed and seasoned tamales 🫔 the best I've had. Cute lil' diner atmosphere as well.”
“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.”
“Hoy tuve una bonita tarde con mi hija y pasamos por este restaurante que se los recomiendo ya que decidimos entrar a comer unos ricos tamaleros oaxaqueños y seme antogo estas ricas enchiladas de mole y mi hija pidió unas deliciosas flautas y todo estuvo riquísimo y la atención del personal muy amables y volveremos para probar las quesadillas y el consomé de borrego 😋 se los recomiendo 100% y tiene el sabor mexicano”
