"During the week Panchita Montellano serves well-made soups and delicious guisos like barbacoa de pollo, salsa de huevo (omelets in red salsa), and patitas en salsa verde (trotters in green salsa) with rice and beans. For a taste of Sierra Norte, stop by on weekends for caldo de costillas (beef-rib soup) eaten with tamales de frijol and pozontle, a hand-beaten cacao-based drink from the owner’s native town of Yalalag. Or consider the house specialty, top-notch tlayudas with traditional meats like tasajo, cecina, or chorizo, plus artisanal moronga (blood sausage) from Poncho’s Tlayudas." - Bill Esparza

"Also from the Sierra Norte, Francisca “Panchita” Aquino Montellano’s Koreatown tlayuderia offers popular Oaxacan guisados to go. It’s also a celebration of Oaxaca’s most famous dish: The high-quality tlayudas, typical of the Valles Centrales region, are doubled over and toasted on a comal, with cesina, tasajo, and chorizo on the side, plus the tlayuda house sells Zoogocho-style moronga (blood sausage) crafted by Alfonso Martinez of Poncho’s Tlayudas to add a taste from home." - Bill Esparza

This is by far the worst place ive been to. The food was salty and to expensive for the amount they gove in 1 order. rise and beans and one piece of chicken. They steal money from customers too and refuse to check cameras to verify what they saying. A customer that was ordering before me order his food and told the owner he will be back for it and payed. Later as i was waiting for my food he came and the same lady he had payed with a 20 bill argued he never payed. I seen clearly he had payed but the lady denied it N she refuse to check the cameras after the man asked her to. Poor service. Idk if the owner really forgot or she just wanted to steal from the client. But the fact that she refuse to verify seeing thebcameras is what made me sick because she was accusing and treating the customer like a thieve and looking at him like he was really stealing from her when in fact it was the other way around.

Los tamales de raja no están buenos es más masa y más manteca. Al checar mi orden estaba mal ya que yo, había pedido 6 tamales de raja con queso y al checar el pedido venían 3 de raja con queso y 3 de raja con pollo.

I ordered seven beef tacos. The tacos taste good. (Pedí siete tacos de carne. Los tacos saben bien.)

It is truly a joy to have eaten here. I ordered the taco serrano and the barbacoa de chivo and both were incredible. The taco serrano is a thick corn tortilla rolled with a sprinkling of cheese and served with a damn good salsa roja, along with tasajo and a pepper. It's one of the better tortilla dishes I've had in L.A. The barbacoa, tender chunks of chivo served on the bone in a deeply flavored red stew along with rice and black beans was deliciously luscious. I look forward to trying their other offerings.
