I had never had Oxaquena style Mexican food before, but now I crave it. There mole is addictive. I also love the enchilladas…. Simply beautiful restaurant and the food presentation purely awesome.

Eat here. Peek into a Oaxacan kitchen and taste its awe-inspiring moles. The dining room is a sparkling-clean, no-frills space with storefront windows looking out onto the busy street scene. The Food Guelaguetza is famous for its spectacular mole sauces, Oaxacan concoctions made from complex blends of nuts, herbs, chiles and ground seeds.
Start with the clayuda, a pizza-sized disc of crisp tortilla slathered with bean paste and a smattering of crumbled queso fresco. The minty verde de espinazo green mole livens up a stew-like concoction of juicy chicken breast brimming with chayote squash and potatoes. The granddaddy of all moles, the chocolaty mole negro, is deeper and darker than any pale American imitations. For the more adventurous, there are three more delightful mole sauces: sweet-spicy coloradito red , tangy-sweet estofado yellow , and the clove- and cumin-flecked amarillo also yellow.
Great "cheap eats" place — Incredible mole - you'll get addicted to the chips served drizzled with mole and mild cheese. The menu is extensive and I try something different every time and am never disappointed.
The Mexican drinks on the menu are great, too. There's plenty of parking and a drive-through Starbucks shares the same lot of you need a caffeine fix on the way out and the service is friendly. The only cons: they're a little understaffed when it gets busy, but you usually won't mind because you're too busy enjoying the chips or drinks or food.
Other con: not the most beautiful restaurant ever. The tablecloths are shiny plastic, etc. But I did bring my parents here and they were totally willing to forgive the lack of atmosphere because the food was so good and cheap.
The Koreatown location is excellent, too. The staff was a bit shorthanded and the poor waiter was running from table to table but we were taken care off quickly and promptly with no problems whatsoever, highly recommended. A Neighborhood Gem — This place isn't fancy, but it really delivers. The mole is great--we particularly liked the coloradito red. At first, the spices are rich and flavorful, and then the heat starts to build. It's never out of control, though, and went well with both pork and beef.
I'm looking forward to trying their other moles on future visits. I love this place! Eclectic crowd; very casual atmosphere; and excellent Oaxacan style, Mexican Food and moles!!! This is not your typical Mexican food, but authentic from the region of Oaxaca. I want to try ALL of the moles! Mary p. Are you still open, greatest restaurant in the world? I know a car crashed through your wall WHAT??? I have looked all over for a replacement and have found none.
This place is just the tops for an inexpensive, beyond delicious dinner or lunch. Have a Negro Modello or two, chow on their chips and cheese, get a side of guacamole and you will be so happy.
Christina M. Melty, delicious string cheese wrapped in crisp fried corn tortillas, with slices of green pepper and herb, served with a cool guacamole green sauce and sprinked with additional cheese. Dinner starts with some nice complimentary mole and chips sprinkled with cheese. Moles are tasty and complex — it helps to know that the sauce contains upwards of 30 ingredients.
Try: Oaxacan quesadillas, anything with mole. The cactus fruit horchata is the bomb diggity: a pink and white layered refreshment with nuts and chopped melon sprinkled on top. Simply mix and enjoy! Skip: The mostly corn dough tamales. Conveniently located in the same parking lot as Trader Joes. A good, inexpensive, low key Friday night after work kind of place. Sarah B. Basically the 3 stars here are for the food itself.
Maria T. It warmed my heart to glance over the most authentic menu I have seen since I lived in Mexico! No pinto beans here— but black beans « de la olla» which means cooked in the pot — so they are served in a separate bowl with some of the liquid. Nom nom nom. So he needed some chicken soup right quick — and this one did the job. It was loaded with chicken, veggies, and even my favorite Mexican vegetable — chayote!
The server even packed up the leftover soup for us with extra broth — no charge— to help nurse the poor man back to health. Jolene M. The mole negro looks like tarred bird, but the taste is out of this world! Jonathan T. Sandra V. My ex took me here once and I fell in love with the tamale wrapped in the banana leaf. Daniel L. Some of my most memorable gatherings took place here. Their clayuda and horchata are very popular but this is my favorite spot to get barbacoa de chivo.
I also enjoy their grilled cactus and any of the steak dishes. As a daring eater, one of my fond memories was to try their fried grasshoppers. It was wrapped in a fried bread and the size of them were more like crickets. That was one interesting experience and I wished that they had come with a mole or salsa to further its flavor.
Even though the place is mostly quiet it is still an ideal place for large and festive gatherings. Service is slow but friendly and inexpensive. To offset the few limitations here and there, the portions of mole served on complimentary chips are generous and very appetizing. I highly recommend this place for anyone living or traveling on the west side. Cahaya S.
In asking for help — we were directed to the chicken mole and the pork mole — which kind of looked very similar. We asked for something of a different variety — but kept being reassured that we should go for the two recommended items — despite us point to several other things on the menu!
