My friend Paul ordered a takeout from here for our late lunch. This charming cafe serves up a variety of delicious homestyle dishes, including tortas, mole, and other traditional Oaxacan dishes. We had Tlayuda, sometimes spelled clayuda, a handmade dish in traditional Oaxacan cuisine, consisting of a large, thin, crunchy, partially fried or toasted tortilla covered with a spread of refried beans, asiento, lettuce or cabbage, avocado, meat, Oaxaca cheese, and salsa... SUPERB... We also had a tamale like no other topped with their mole sauce that was spicy and soo delicious! I can't wait to actually go to the restaurant. I am just so excited that I found this new place that totally ticks many of my culinary boxes! ;))

Our friends from Oaxaca recommended us this restaurant, we remembered we visiting it a few years ago when the only name was Expresion Oaxaqueña. That time we didn't have a good experience and that's why we never came, but our friends recommended it a lot and since it seems to be under a new name and probably new management, we decided to give it a try. The decor of the restaurant is nice, the servers were friendly and prompt with their service and the food was really good. The food does take a long time to get to your table, they might be short of staff or probably they don't have space for too many cooks. That the one downside, so I recommend you don't go starving because food will take quite some time to get to your table, ah! and parking is also kind of difficult in the area. We"ll visit again to try more items from their menu.

Good food love to. Come often love the carne de borrego plate and horchata recommend for sure try it out

Great traditional food! Great service! The margaritas are delicious live music playing! This place is unforgettable! Will definitely come back to visit!

I LOVE their carne asada torta, it's the best thing I've never had, that's the only meal I get when I go there. Amazing 10/10 I LOVE YOU

My boyfriend invited me twice and we both got the tortas, we both got the milanesas and they were both really good. The price is great compared to many other places where Oaxacan food is being sold. Love this place and will be back.

Also knows as the Chapulin Restaurante, written in larger font at the front. It is located in a plaza with other shops. So there is plenty of parking, but it fills up quick so be prepared for that. Orrr just walk to the location cause you're about to eat good! I recommend going on a Sunday. They had someone playing corridos on their guitar, which was nice. A band plays in the evening during the weekdays. But Saturday and Sunday also has patio seating available. Staff was welcoming and attentive. Decor gave off a homey feel. The chairs are wooden, so not completely comfortable. For drinks, I recommend the licuado or horchata. If you're looking for something stronger, the Café de olla is delicious (according to the coffee conosseirs with me). And you can take it to go! It took a while for the food to come out, but quality takes time! This place gets really crowded between 11am to 2pm so plan accordingly. There are a lot of food options; breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I recommend trying out the following: tlayuda, chapulines al mojo de ajo, la quebradita, the moles. The chilaquiles disappointed; made with chips instead of tortilla. The molotes were tasty and filling. They're large-portioned so be mindful. Looking to try some genuine Oaxacan flavor? this is the spot to go to.

Came in for a dinner date on a Sunday evening. The food was amazing. Had the molcajete which is served sizzling with grilled cactus, chorizo, Oaxaca cheese, cecina, tasajo, green onions, jalapeño in a delicious sauce. The molcajete is served with a side of black beans, salsa and two handmade tortillas. My companions had an empanada de flor de calabaza and chicken soup. The drinks we chose were agua de mango, champurrado and a café de olla. The service was second to none and the server kept checking in on us to ensure everything was to our liking. Can't wait to come back for more!

Man oh man.... This is my first time trying Oaxaca food... simply amazing. I've seen a lot of YouTube videos, and my bf told me about this place. Nevertheless I really enjoyed our meal. I ordered a Tlayuda and it was delicious. It came out piping hot and I especially loved the cheese! We also ordered a atole blanco, and champurrado which were both good. This appears to be a popular spot as a lot of people were coming as we were leaving. The service was also friendly as fast. Also I enjoyed the live music! Overall I enjoyed my experience and would highly recommend this place if you want to try some amazing Mexican food from a region a lot of people are not familiar about.

Was very impressed!! I 100% recommend the Chapulines Mexicana if you never tried crickets before! It's sautéed with tomatoes and spices, so it was very flavorful! The Quesadilla was also very delicious. It was both cheesy and crunchy, and the beans and rice that came with it were also wonderfully done. Everything was so fragrant, I just wished the prices were more affordable! The quesadilla plate was fantastic but I'm not sure if it was worth $15.95!
