Really Amazing Mexican food. Some said it is the best in LA. I loved it. We went on a Saturday and ate at the bar which was fine. The food and drink were amazing and definitely do the mole sampler! VictorB
I've heard so much about this place so I decided to check it out. Everything on the menu looked delicious. The hardest part was deciding what to get. We shared an appetizer that didn't disappoint. The service was attentive with being pushy. Not sure if it's only on weekends but their was a group playing some cumbias& songs my mom used to listen to.When you leave there's a tent right in front of the restaurant that sales Oaxacan nick nacks.
The food and vibe of the place was great. CALL IN ADVANCE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR DINER SERVICE. It gets crazy busy and we were told it would be 45 to 1 hour waiting....which was close to what we waiting.The place had a live band playing and they have a very large patio where you can hang outside without music happening inside.The only down side the server forgot about us and we had to flag servers from other tables for drink refills? Ordering food...Everything else was great.
The food at Guelaguetza is unlike anything you’ll find in LA. We had an opportunity to grab a seat at the bar and order lunch. We were served by a wonderful guy named Eric. I could go back again and again and order everything on the menu but this time we tried the barbacoa tacos, the mini taco sampler, the Chile Colorado, the chili rellenos, mucho mezcal, and believe me all of it was unbelievably good. So many reasons to return. Now I want to visit Oaxaca.
Food is superb and delicious. This is the most authentic Oaxacan food. With that said, the restaurant is extremely busy and service is compromised. The poor waitress had to bus her own tables and some had very large parties. I asked for hot sauce or salsa for my meal and it never made it to the table. I asked 3 times for a to go box and not until I got up and asked again, I finally got it. I didn't like the fact that the check was not presented to me for review. The waitress just gave me a total to pay and the tip options. I noticed everyone else was paying the same way. Considering how much the restaurant charges for food, there is room for improvement.
The food is amazing and the mole is so darn good!
The food stands on its own. The service was a little slow with refills but the food runs the place! I can’t wait to go back
I love the experience here. The waiters are so nice and answer any questions we had and made suggestions. Definitely an acquired taste if your only used to tacos and burritos. I loved it. This is the way to do it! Oaxaca style mole!!!! Tip these waiters more on your next visit!
Honestly it's our first time going there me and my family...I give it 3 stars because the food was ok not the best spot in my opinion...and not letting us sit inside in a hot day because we didn't have vaccination cards and ID thats ridiculous..the tlayuda had way too much pork paste!...anyway so far for me the best spot is in Santa Ana!..
What a fun and delicious dinner. We had high hopes and were not disappointed. The mole chips were so good. I hadn't had anything like this before. For dinner we had the Mole Negra and veggie Tlayuda. We ate too much. Portions were big. But these dinners were just yummy. We had the choco-flan for dessert. There was a live band which gave a festive mood for the crowd. A perfect night.
