I was in the area for a work-related fun event and took a much-needed break here. The food was so delicious, I would make a special trip back. The owners are from Peru and the other owner is from Oaxaca. Together, I believe they create culinary bliss

This place came highly recommended as a must try. I was very happy that ot did not disappoint. I was dying to try any huitlacoche dish they had, and they delivered on a vegan and delicious dish, very happy with it.i also have a sinful obsession with the perfect crispy rolled taco, and oh man did this dish hot the spot, hands down one of the top 2 in my experience, but #1 in how it was served, in a xoconostle salsa and chicken jus, had to save for last after tasting it. I know taquitos and rolled tacos seem simple and everyone has them, but they are usually terrible, dry, over cooked no filling or bad oil flavors, but this one delivers. The staff was super attentive and welcoming, went above and beyond to answer all my questions and explain their origins. Oh and the drink was very good as well.

We went with our neighbors for Happy Hour. We started with drinks: Sauvignon Blanc, Paloma, Old Fashioned and a Margarita. They were good enough to offer a second round. We started with chips and guacamole served with a side of crickets (grillos). Then we ordered carnitas, pork belly tacos, and a chicken quesadilla from the Happy Hour menu. We added aguachile and empanadas. Everything was very tasty, however the crickets are an acquired taste. We had to try desserts so I finished with coconut ice cream and the Oaxaca flourless chocolate cake served with ice cream. The coconut ice was light and refreshing. The flourless cake was rich and satisfying.

From beginning to end, this place is amazing. Firstly, the ambiance is great. Secondly, the service is absolutely outstanding. And, lastly, the food is superb. They have rotating ice cream and the one we had was mango flavored. Truly outstanding! My entree was the grilled octopus which was delicious. If I lived in the area, I would be here often.

Love this place, very tasty food and great deals. The taco Tuesday house margaritas were a little lack luster, but everything else made up for it! Very nice staff and great ambiance.

I’ve been here manny time’s! This place is always good and consistent! Prices have went up a bit of course like every where else! Sunday brunch now has music. We mainly come for brunch, unlimited mimosas for $18, meals range from $14 to $30. Tlayula is always good, tacos are made with fresh tortillas. Breakfast burrito was ok. Get something else instead, chilaquiles, French toast all good! Good service, drinks and atmosphere.

Second time here. Came with the same group of 4. I ordered chicken mole $29. It was delicious except the chicken was overcooked and took some sawing with the knife. Should be able to slice with a fork if cooked properly. My husband had their chicken enchiladas $29 but said they were not that good. The other couple did not comment on the taste except to complain that the prices are alot more ($29+$29) than they were 4 years ago on the last visit. Seems I recall they were pricy then too.
