Alma oaxaqueña Restaurant

Loved my breakfast here! The owners came over as we were leaving to chat and could not be nicer. Definitely a spot to check out. I’ll be back. Plus there’s a lot out front with easy parking. I had the cafe de olla and memelas and my friend had chilaquiles. Everything was so delicious we forgot to snap pics. I sent her daughter in to get pics and she came back with these of the avocado tlayuda and chicken chilaquiles.

The service provided to the client was excellent. The ambience of the restaurant brings familiarity. Ingredients tasted fresh and the presentation of the food brought upon was nice. The place is clean. The portions served were a good amount. I highly recommend this place if you are trying to taste foods from the Mexican cuisine by yourself or accompanied by friends and family. The quality of the food can be tasted through each bite, delivered with care from the cooks.

Came here for the first time for breakfast and it was very good. We had huevos rancheros and 2 memelas and both dishes were superb. The service was wonderful and overall the experience in this restaurant felt like home cooking and very comfortable. I will definitely comeback again here if Im in town.

My husband and I found this place randomly and I'm so glad we did. We went on Sat, 7/19 late in the afternoon and it was empty. We met the family who owns, runs and cooks, father Julio was lovely. Oaxacan food is my favorite Mexican food so I had high hopes. We got some asada street tacos, guac and chips and on their daughter's recommendation (sorry, forgot her name) the red mole which was exceptional. The tacos came with a slightly spicy side of jalapeno beans. For drinks, we both chose pineapple mixed with fruit juice, it was light and fresh tasting, not overly sweet or cloying. We'll definitely be back, more people should know and support this family-run gem!

What a truly delicious experience. I got the breakfast burrito with steak. Amazing quality and flavor. The homemade green salsa was perfect. The burrito came with potatoes/grilled peppers, it was super flavorful. I’m really pleased and I highly recommend this place! Oh, and awesome service as well.

What an exceptional place for authentic Oaxacan food made from scratch. Every dish was delightful and the service by Julio was above and beyond. By the end of the meal we felt like family. Best Mexican I’ve had in a LONG time. You’ve got to go here!

A Hidden Gem, 1st time here and much more than expexted. Delicious authentic family recipes. Julio the owner súper nice, welcoming. Will definitely drive 60 Miles again and again!

The owner came to tell us the best oaxcan items on the menu - super helpful and it was different from any cuisine I have ever had! Food was super delicious and I would come back again! The Alma tlayuda is SOOOOOOO GOOD

My wife was in the mood for chilaquiles today and our usual location is closed on Sundays. A quick Internet search brought up this restaurant and we discovered an amazing family business and enjoyed an incredible brunch today. My wife ordered delicious chilaquiles and I had French toast made with a Mexican style bread and eggs and bacon. We also had a "cafe de olla", a traditional Mexican spiced coffee. The service was excellent and we felt valued as customers. We will certainly come back.

Best oaxacan food i have ever had! There food is truly authentic and most of their oaxacan products are exported straight from Oaxaca and it doesn't have any MONSANTO!!(Monsanto is illegal in Mexico so the product cannot contain any monsanto) I had a great conversation with the owners daughter and their story is truly beautiful ,saddening and heartfelt, her grandmother passed away and as her dying wish was to be able to see their restaurant succeed and open and have her recipes fill the tables. It is truly inspiring to hear this beautiful story and for her to be watching her kids succeed from heaven

Julio and Alma do a great job at this restaurant. I highly recommend you give them a chance. The foods consistent and they're extremely nice people. I highly recommend this place.

Found this Gem on Yelp! Absolutely Delicious Authentic Home made family recipes. Ambiance and Service from Julio the owner inviting, outstanding what a pleasure. Will definitely drive 60 miles again and again!

I had a terrible craving for chilaquiles today, and was looking for something local and Oaxaquan. So glad I found this place! The food was really good, and Julio was super friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back.

A must try if you are in the area or even if you are not. Authentic Oaxacan food with a husband and wife duo dishing out delicious plates! Breakfast served all day. We really felt welcomed here. You will not be disappointed!

Place has a parking lot and authentic Oaxacan food. We had breakfast here. It's really a little hole in the wall. The food is tasty. They've been here 10 months and are hopeful they can make a go of the place. So give it a try. Seats about 20 inside and 5 or 6 outside. Work with doordash and grubhub.

This was AMAZING - I could not recommend more highly! Julio gave us incredible recommendations and was friendly and welcoming :) The food was authentic and delicious - definitely coming back soon!

food was amazing the service was on point and friendly. The authenticity of the food couldn't be more spot on. Definitely would come back here again :)

Delicious food and incredibly friendly staff! We've come for breakfast a few times now, and it's delicious every time. This time we were given complimentary pastries!

I haven't had food this delicious since traveling out of the country. Best Oaxacan food, and now a new favorite! Soo good I almost ate the plate

Sooo good. Such a good flavor. I'm from Oaxaca so I know authentic when I taste it and this is it. Plus the owner is such a good person. Highly recommend

Great spot for breakfast. Had the memelas with steak and picaditas. Delicious, great service and quick too.

Wonderful family-owned and run Oaxacan restaurant close to the 405 and 10 freeways. The ambience is humble and welcoming. The food feels home cooked and is extremely comforting. Portions were all generously sized and reasonably priced. I came here with family and we were all extremely satisfied with all of our food. My grandma usually doesn't finish her food but she did today! The selections we had: Barbacoa -- savory and hearty lamb stew; we were blown away by the richness of the broth and the tenderness of the lamb. Platos de carnes -- chorizo, carne asada, tasajo. Meat was cooked to perfection, with a side of beans and delicious quesillo (oaxacan cheese) to accompany, with tortillas on the side to make your own tacos if you so desire. Burrito de mole negro -- topped with a very tasty mole, a Oaxacan specialty. Next time I will try their red mole. Tlayuda -- Oaxacan classic. Like a large tostada with numerous toppings including meat and veggies. We ordered it with some of the delicious grilled chicken. Cafe de olla -- coffee with cinnamon and sugar, comforting for a cold day We hope to come back soon! Would love to try their breakfasts, enfrijoladas, and mole rojo.

It's a cute little place. I feel like west LA has so many amazing taco places but there is more than that for Mexican food and this place fills that gap. Oaxaca food is recognized globally and a big part of Mexican culture and this place is the closest I've had to my grandma's food in west LA.

I LOVE this place. It feels so cozy. Their chilaquiles and huevos are la mexicana are amazing!! Service is great and they offer discounts for being a student and paying with cash. Their cafe de la olla is great too.

Only good things to say about this restaurant! Not only was the food delicious, but the service provided by Evelyn (I hope I spelled that right) was top tier! She answered all our questions and gave amazing suggestions. We tried the Chilaquiles with green sauce, soooo good. And the Huevos rancheros, DELICIOUS! I recommend if you want flavorful authentic Mexican foods

Great service, good food, it's Small place but the food is so authentic Oaxaca the chocolate is great.

I went in for an order of chips and guacamole. It came out to $11.39. The serving was like less than a cup with about 10 tortilla chips. I asked for more chips but felt like such a chump walking out of there. Who charges that much for a modest serving of chips and guacamole. So upset for letting this place rip me off. Please check the prices before you decide to eat here so you don't get fleeced like I did.

First time and will be back. Very authentic food and very good. Nice place for lunch.

wow! the food is awesome the ingredients on point. i was craving molotes and decided to call it in during lunch break. Surprised the food temperature was great so fresh and not too crunchy just perfect. I wanted to eat more. Can't wait to try other food on their menu.
