My husband, my brother, and I had a great lunch at Tlayuda a couple of days ago when we were visiting LA. We shared the mole negro con pollo and the tlayuda supreme. If you haven't had a tlayuda before, it's a Oaxacan dish that's...sort of like a Mexican pizza - a large thin, crunchy tortilla covered with beans and various toppings. The tlayuda supreme has frijoles, lettuce, tomato, onion, avoado, Oaxacan cheese, beef, pork, and chorizo. And I LOVED it. So delicious. The chicken mole was also good! Based on the quality of what we tried, I'd be happy to try anything on Tlayuda LA's menu! The service was excellent. And the restaurant is casual and homey. (Bonus: it's a family-owned restaurant. It also has vegan options.) One of my favorite meals from our visit to LA. Highly recommend checking it out if you like Oaxacan/Mexican food.More

Popped into this restaurant last night on a whim - so glad we did! The waitress was very enthusiastic and happy to explain the food to us as we were not familiar with Tlayuda or the majority of the items on the menu. She provided...samples of beverages for us to try. The food was fantastic, fresh with wonderful service. Will definitely be coming back and have already recommend to friends.More

The Service: I love this kind of family style restaurant because the food is authentic. It is opened kitchen style so I can see those ladies preparing the food. It feels like going to my friends' house and their moms are preparing food for us....HOMEMADE food!! Their service is "A+" because the restaurant owners are taking care their own customers themselves!! The Food: Guacamole & Chips - I am an avocado fan!! Anything with avocado will be a bonus for that dish. So of course, I have to try their guacamole. I can taste chunks of avocado... yes~ freshly made!!! Torta Oaxaquena- beef, chorizo, cheese, avocado and bean puree. The bread... so fresh & soft!! All the ingredients compliment each other. That is a perfect food for going to outdoor events! Enchiladas Verdes - 3 chicken enchiladas with rice. I love spicy food, so I tried the spicy sauce. Just a little kick, not so spicy that I can't taste the food. They are very generous with the chicken~ every bite full of shredded chicken!! Huevos Rancheros - two over easy eggs topped with red sauce and rice & beans on the side. OMG!!! the egg yolks just ooze out~ Perfectly prepared. That is the kind of breakfast that I can eat everyday! Tacos - 7 different kinds of tacos. Handmade tortilla with black bean puree, Oaxaca cheese and avocado. The texture of handmade tortilla really taste different than those machine made. My new favorite taco... "Vegetarian taco". I know... I know... no meat? But they really loaded up with tons of different kind of vegetables!!! It looks pretty & yummmm~ Not just food is authentic but the drinks..... highly highly highly recommend "BrewChata"!! Mixture of cold brew coffee with horchata! The coffee is not bitter/too strong anymore, so smooth to drink! Besides horchata, there are also Jamaica and Tamarindo. Super refreshing~ The Parking: Street metered parking or if you don't mind a little walk, side streets have residential parking (free).More
