"Cited as a backyard comedor inside the broad Oaxacan/Oaxacalifornia network of restaurants, representing homey, regionally specific Oaxacan preparations." - Eater Staff
"Bill Esparza notes that 'the weekly Oaxacan food specials ... can disrupt any plans I’ve made on Sundays,' highlighting rotating Oaxacan offerings that are worth planning a weekend around." - Eater Staff
"My best meal of 2023 was at Comedor Tenchita, enjoying Sunday specials like segueza (mole de maiz), empanadas de amarillo con riñon, and higaditos, a Valles Centrales breakfast dish that’s a major craving of mine." - Eater Staff
"On Sundays in her Mid-City backyard, Doña Hortensia “Tenchita” Melchor, a traditional zapoteca cook from Tlacolula, Oaxaca, serves higaditos, a ball of beaten eggs, shredded chicken, onions, and tomatoes cooked in stock and seasoned with a tangy salsa. She also makes taquitos bathed in sweet mole coloradito, large empanadas filled with mole amarillo, and well-seasoned molotes, masa fritters packed with chorizo and potatoes. Ask about specials, which can include various moles like segueza (mole of broken corn), chichilo, or mole verde, not to mention soulful Oaxacan-style enchiladas." - Bill Esparza
