The 14 Best Oaxacan Restaurants In LA
"Poncho’s is the type of backyard cookout where you plan to visit for a quick bite but end up spending the whole night (because the hosts know how to throw a party). Popping up on Friday evenings behind a community center house just south of Downtown, this outdoor Oaxacan restaurant sets up a few tables, a speaker for banda music, and a charcoal grill to toast the only dish on the menu: tlayudas. These massive, crispy folded tortillas are the best in town, flavored with pork fat, black bean paste, and melted quesillo in every bite. They also come with a choice of protein: you’ll want the cured strips of tasajo and sliced moronga (Oaxacan blood sausage). " - sylvio martins
