La Asuncion Restaurante

10/10

I like it Oaxaca food....good breakfast, good customer service..😁👍

Today I dined in at this restaurant for the first time. The food was okay; not enough flavor nor spice to it. I should had driven the extra miles to LA for quality flavorful Oaxacan food. Nonetheless, the lady who helped us was very nice.

I really recommend this restaurant if you want authentic Oaxacan food. I’m from Oaxaca and this is my favorite place, it’s like to be back in town. The service is good, they are friendly and they always welcome us and remember us. They have a good pan de Muertos, their bread it’s authentic.

First time trying this place today. Went in with my son we were the first people there as we went a little early. Service was friendly and restaurant was clean and full of pretty colors. Pretty quiet at first. Than when people started to come in they turned a tv on. Food was good my son enjoyed his oaxacan quesadillas. Only down side was the horchata oaxanitas. My sons was fine but half way with mine it smelt like spoiled milk. I didnt want to finish it nor did i complain. I was just really excited to have one cuz its been forever since ive been to a decent oaxacan restaurant. Ill probably give it another chance.

The service is horrible!! But the food is good. If your Hispanic they treat you twice as bad but still the food is good even though they serve you a little chorrito de comida ( a little little bit of food served) little serving of rice and beans , how will I ever get full. Little pricey too.

My boyfriend and I went to eat their the food was horrible the pork that they put in his Starbucks cubano couldn't even be cut with the sharpest knife. The one-star is because it looked deceivingly good I don't recommend eating here

Oaxacan people are know yo be really attentive and friendly in costumer service. I didnt see that in this reataurant. Usually oaxacan restaurant make you fill welcome and you leave with a good impression of the reataurant and staff. If the cotumer service is bad to me it means the food is bad.

Food, service, ambiance, bring me back memories of Mexican Oaxaca food Service is fast 10/10 recommend

Tenía mucho aceite la comida . No nos gustó talves visítalo para que compruebes lo que digo!

Let's start by saying this Food - amazing, delicious, right way of serving and taste and presentation really good. Service- is good waitress very attentive, clean neat. Ambiance - feel like I am eating in a restaurant back home OAXACA I am sharing some of the pictures of the food that my husband and I tried today, he enjoyed the food, I am native from Oaxaca so obviously o love my traditional food, but my husband not being from Oaxaca has given the 5 stars as well. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The place to go for authentic Oaxacan food in the Valley! The dishes are not only served in good portions, but are equally delicious. The restaurant is spacious and filled with Oaxacan adornments. On top of the art and decorations, and the live music created a welcoming atmosphere. Most of all, the staff was friendly and attentive.

First time here and definitely not the last time. I went looking for a place with Tlayudas and was not disappointed. Service was awesome with the cashier being very patient answering all our questions about the food. The Tlayuda was huge and comes with 3 meats which was more than I could have asked for. Overall the food and environment was great. My partner and I were able to watch tv as well as enjoy our food. The energy of the place is very family friendly and peaceful. Will definitely be returning!!

Food was nasty service was terrible, the shrimps were all smelly and rotten. the waitress didn't come check on us at all had to get up and ask for water. Horrible restaurant now.

Amazing food , best Oaxaca food restaurant in the San feranando valley, I loved there Oaxaca cheese will definitely be coming back this might be the only place in the valley where you can find authentic Oaxaca Mexican f

i went today to get a tlayuda and the tortilla was with moho the waitress was kind of nice but how is that posible the food comes with moho i'll never come back again

The Oaxacan bread is delicious! I highly recommend the concha! OMG amazing! Tamales de mole are ok in my opinion are a little bit salty.

I had the tamales,ùuuuuufffffff delicious, my girlfriend had vegetarian lunch and she also was very happy..Goin back soon.....

Service was quick and food was delicious, I ordered the Torta cubana and it was huge. I couldn't finish the other half. My wife liked as well. Can't wait to come back and have the mole.

We tried the mole and tlayudas. Mole was ok but tlayudas were very skimpy in amount of ingredients and weren't tasteful. On top of that an order of Chorizo La Asuncion we paid for wasn't included in our order (realized at home). They told us they would refund us but never happened.

The cheese was sooo good I had to get extra. We got tlayudas and it was good. The salsa was decent. The waitress was really nice and social. And the y have Mexican coke!

Absolutely love the food and service! They have some of the best chilaquiles in the area.

The food is okay The white rice had lots of garlic this time and honestly the service was friendly but they take too long to get your order and they forgot one meal for my niece until we told them twice

Came here for my mom bday. First of all the waitress wasn't welcoming as it would have made the experience better. I had two seniors with me visiting from guatemala. My mom is from Oaxaca and she wanted to eat here. We wanted cafe de olla the waitress says they are all out. Ok it was about 8pm so I guess. We ordered two order of chocolate caliente y pan. We ordered 3 horchatas the oaxacan kind. I believe it has nuts and tuna fruit. First of all there was a big chunk of nuts and tuna frozen! Obviously it wasn't fresh. It was really upsetting. We ordered mole and enchiladas made of mole. Two orders of memelitas. The mole was good. That's about it. Won't be coming back. The area was sketchy. I felt bad for a homeless person who was outside in the back by trash where we parked sleeping in a cold night. Over all I rather go to LA to guelagetza.

The best molcajetes and rice and beans. They also have good customer service . Good mole and spicy salsa.

Update . Have visited the restaurant 2 more times. And each time was outstanding . They have improved a great deal. The lady ( I believe she is the owner) is always no nice and helpful. Thank you for the great service and the outstanding food. Will definitely be back :-)

First time here and I really liked it. Husband ordered the caldo de res, daughter ordered the mole rojo, and I ordered molotes and enfrijoladas. Everything was delicious along with the hand made tortillas. We are definitely coming back. Place is cute, waitress was very nice and kind. Favorite was the mole.

The food was ok, but I think there are some dishes in oaxacan cuisine that we just aren't used to. The tlayuda was big, but it was dry and a little bland. The tamales with chicken in black mole wasn't bad, but the mole is kind of bitter and the tamales could've been more moist. The chicken in red mole was good, but the sauce was somewhat too sweet and the chicken a bit dry. However, we did enjoy the molcajete and the pozole was very flavorful. Very good service and they gave us good homemade tortillas too, so I'd eat the pozole and tortillas again.

Perfect customer service. Fast service and friendly servers! Accommodating and the food was as good as the one in oaxaca! I ordered memelas which are amazing and I also ordered hot chocolate with Oaxacan bread plus empanadas. The horchata is not so bad but close enough if only they added more melon and more sugar. This place is better than I thought. The parking sucks but on a Sunday it isn't as bad.

I've been here many times over the past 2 years and most recently last night.It's one of the few Oaxacan restaurants in the Valley. Highlights: -The Oaxacan Horchata with tuna (fruit) and nuts is DIVINE. It's refreshing and not too sweet. -Their Tlayudas with tasajo, cecina and chorizo are soo full of flavor and plenty of quesillo (Oaxacan cheese) and cabbage, yum! HUGE portion. -Mole plate with chicken is spicy but full of flavor and not too bitter, plenty of food. -Customer service is amazing! It's usually the same lady every time we go and she is sweet, attentive and observant. Cons: It's always really hot in there and gets worse in the summer. They have a big fan blowing most of the time but it only helps if you sit next to it. Kids menu can improve. My daughter usually has the chicken nuggets but she doesn't really like them. Better quality and more diversity of menu items would help. Overall amazing food and great service! Having A/C would knock it out of the park!

The service was really good, our server was really nice and helpful. The food was was amazing. I got the Tlayuda and my friend got the barbacoa Wich was really good.

Great food and good service. Didn't order ahead of time and the service was fast. Is nice to find an authentic Mexican food restaurant with great prices. And they even have sweet bread that was delicious. When there for food and came out with sweetbread too.

This place needs to have better food quality. I have worked in a few restaurants before I can tell when food has been frozen & re-heated. Mexican food is meant to be made fresh to order. I also noticed another customer drinking what looked to be beer n a foam cup, even though I didn't notice a liquor license post up anywhere

This is definitely a little hidden gem of an authentic Oaxacan Restaurant .. unique traditional dishes with a nice traditional atmosphere at a great price. I ordered the tlyudas and I was taken back as I had never tried that dish and it was different big and yummy and only about $9 I can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu ..

La Asuncion is perhaps one of the greatest Oaxaque~no restaurants outside of Oaxaca! It's wonderful and not touristy. The owner is very very nice and the service is always great! It's in a seedy part of town but so are most great Mexican restaurants in the valley. They have the best Mole Negro I have ever tasted in my life EVER and the best Coloradito (red mole) I have ever tasted as well, except I had not had mole rojo prior to coming here. I was not a big fan of their fancy horchata but I am happy that I tried it. I prefer drinks I can gulp down in seconds and get quick refills on since I have an insatiable thirst all the time but it tasted good. Also, all of their tortillas are hand made and they also sell very beautiful Oaxacan blouses, dresses, dolls, decorations, EVERYTHING! It's my little paradise.

Awesome black and red mole (my favorite as it is a bit less bitter than the black mole). They gave chips with mole and cheese so you could try the mole, and my mom went for black and I went for red. Sure they didn't have everything on the menu, and the place is very Tijuana chic, but the food is great and well worth going.

La Asunción is probably one of the best Oaxaqueño restaurants in the Valley. If you don't want to make the long trip to Guelaguetza, the food here is just as good if not better. My favorite is their Pollo Coloradito (Chicken in Red Mole) but I have to warn you, these dishes have huge portions of chicken so expect to get a doggy bag because only a freak could finish the whole thing. Their horchata's so good that it should be a dessert! It's topped with chopped nuts and fruit and a frozen tuna (AND I MEAN THE "PRICKLY PEAR" FRUIT!) which you break up with the long spoon it's served with. The place also has a cool unique ambience to it with nice murals on the walls reflecting Oaxacan culture. I will definitely go back to this place again!

you know, it was over a hundred degrees. i hadn't gone to market in over a week, so we were kind of in old mother hubbard mode here. it's in the same mini mall as the $1 video store. and i was more willing to give my money to them than to taco bell... if i could have a do over, i would still try it because trying something new is the right thing to do (assuming we're not talking some drug or other life threatening endeavor, especially one involving heights), i still would proffer my hard earned dollar to la asuncion, but, having done so once, i will not do so again. granted, the woman behind the counter was v. helpful and just tossed together a salad for me sans any meat ingredients, but even the black beans were really bland, and those huge chunks of iceberg lettuce far from appeased my desire for big salad. as for the mister, he found his plate of beef so excessively seasoned in an incredibly salty, sodiumy way that he actually refrained from completing consumption of aforementioned protein. in fact, the next day told me the entire plate reminded him of awful beef jerky; that's how tough it was. ah well, such is life! the perros at casa samson were fed muy well yesterday evening...

This is some tasty food in a sketchy neighborhood. There aren't too many places to get a mole negro in the Valley, and this is the definitely the best one we've found so far. The mole had some real depth, rich but not too sweet. The other dish we got molcajete: several slices of meat, cactus, and green onion sizzling in a clay pot with a spicy red sauce. Tasty, but it didn't compare to the mole. My horchata wasn't as fancy as the other reviewers mentioned - when I go back to try the coloradito, I'll have to ask for the upscale horchata too. Went on a Friday night, and there was live music - a very nice guy with keyboards and a drum pad with his amp cranked up to Mexican jukebox level. Lots of fun, will return.

This is a great place to get authentic oaxacan food in the valley. Their water and milk hot chocolates are to die for and their molcajete is definitely worth trying. Their chips seem to be freshly made since they are always warm each time I go. Their service is always consistent and so is their food. My only complaint is that the waitress is kinda hard to find, which sucks when you really need a cup of water. The prices are a bit in the higher end which is understandable for the quality food they serve. I'll definitely be back for some hit chocolate and enchiladas.

Today I finally decided to try La Asuncion. The food is good! I tried tlayudas with quesillo, chorizo, y tasajo , the service was friendly . I really recommend this Oaxacan Restaurant!! And the music was good,so was the service,and best of all the food!!!and next time i would like to try the molcajete......

I do not recommend this place in obsolescence in this restaurant I have had a very unpleasant experience the waitresses have a rude attitude with my family, I asked for a tlayuda and when I got the dish was so unpleasant because they did not prepare it well, the quesadillas had A strange taste.

This place has the best Mole I ever tasted. I got the Mole Negro and the Coloradito Mole. OMG, the most amazing dishes ever. If you ever pictured yourself indulging in the most richest, flavorful sauce, well this is it!!! You can really sense all the flavors in the mole, truly is an experience to remember. Next dish I would love to try here is the Mocajete..

I came here with my family after a long day at the Valley Swap Meet, our server seated us quickly and was very sweet and polite, there was wonderful live music being place which is nice because the man with the keyboard is very talented but on the down side it was so loud we couldn't hear each other or the waitress. I ordered the red mole on the chicken which is server with a side of rice and veggies, my meal was superb, finger licking delicious but they gave me a very small amount of rice. They have delicious horchata but you need to constantly stir it because there is a lot of rice residue at the bottom. The salsa was perfect amount of spicy and I think my family had no real complaints. I will definitely eat here again when I get the chance to.

the tamal de mole is dry and has no flavor. The molcajete is Okay..not all that great but its good...would I go there again..Mmmm Maybe..but like in a few months

Everytime I would pass by this restaurant I have wanted to come in but I'm always in a rush. I finally got to try it and was I ever disappointed. Now, the place is actually very big and the atmosphere is nice and so was the service but the disappointment was the food. It was either extremely salty or had no taste. Not to mention the meat had a lot of fat. The tortillas were ok. I've had better though. The cook needs to find a balance between one extreme and the other. Now everytime I pass by instead of the anticipation of experiencing the food here, I'll be remembering what a let down it was.

delicious food, great and friendly service , clean and decorative location. easy to find parking.

Para empezar, yo fui a comprar una orden de mole... Con pechuga de pollo y me dieron muslo y pierna. Luego no tienen los precios a la vista. Y en mi opinion son muy caros los platillos comparados a otros restaurantes como por ejemplo... Socorro's Restaurant y Lenchita's Restaurant o La Talpense. en cuanto a las supuestas tortillas hechas a mano, dejan poco que desear, ya que son de maseca, no de maiz como en los restaurantes que mencioné arriba. Y no me quedaron ganas de volver.. por careros y no poner atención a lo que uno ordena. O sea que me dieron "gato por liebre". So I don't recomend this restaurant. No prices to view at, The mole is not what I expected, I have tasted better moles in other restaurants. And for the price of one of their dishes I could get it for less in other restaurants like Lenchita's, Socorro's, La Talpense, and even with a drink. And As I ordered chicken breast they gave me chicken leg, which tells me they are not paying attention. Their (supposed) hand made tortillas are made from MASECA (already mix) not real fresh MASA.
