Pretty straightforward mole fries here: house-made fries on the thick side, drenched in a rich, sweet, a nicely spiced vegan mission fig mole with a sprinkle of sesame seeds . Read more

In Eagle Rock, this charming neighborhood restaurant is many things: a deli , a market , a breakfast spot , and a Mecca for one of the best dishes in town , the duck carnets taco . Featured at Tacolandia! Read more

Justin Ordoveza

Unique and authentic Mexican food that you can't find in other places. The tacos especially the huitlacoche and the fried avocado are fantastic.

The breakfast burritos are even better than their regular burritos . Order them by 1pm.. they won't be served a min later. I always think I'm dying after eating one bc of the size, but it's worth it.

John F

The tacos are amazing. Burritos are HUGE and the tortilla soup is fantastic. Guacamole doesn’t come with chips which is a little baffling. Can be hard to find seating.

Eric Lane

I like their hibiscus (flor de jamaica) tacos best, followed closely by the shrimp , duck carnitas , fried potato , and cochinita pibil tacos . Be adventurous: nearly everything on the menu is terrific.

Gerardo Arias

Everything is great that's all I can say. Didn't post a pic, well the food looked so good that I just ate it. No time for pics, but you can see everyone else's

Emma McNairy

Avocado tacos !! Potato tacos ! This is some of the most beautifully prepared Mexican food I've ever encountered.

Anna Gregor

Sooooo good. Their Mexican Zucchini and squash burrito made my taste buds sing! Salsa is very flavorful, if not spicy enough and their whole wheat tortilla are TO DIE FOR.

Chris L

duck carnitas , chilaquiles smothered in rich mole poblano , cheesy-saucy stacked enchiladas made with homemade corn tortillas , and mole fries

Daniel L.

The one thing you need to eat here is the carnitas de pato taco - juicy duck confit , avocado , pickled onion , crunchy radish and spicy chile oil.

Katie Manos

The chips and salsa are what I come here for! Whatever they put on the chips is amazing.

Cynthia S

The slow-cooked meats are to die for. Try the duck and chicken mole .

Double D

EVERYTHING is brilliant. Fav caffeinated bevy by far in the whole world is the Agave Latte w/ a few good dashes of cacao and chile de arbol. Squash Blossom & duck confit tacos are clear winners.

JNET

Parking in the back. Cute little place. Very diverse crowd . Interesting though a bit intimidating menu. Yummy though :). Horchata love love love !

Jenn Chen

Cafe de olla -- cinnamon spiced house coffee -- is delicious (and bottomless!)

Lizzy Saxe

The mushroom torta is fantastic, you must order the hot chocolate and the specials are always interesting.

Taylor Loftin

Their vegetarian selections are creative and full of flavor! It's so refreshing to have options where "vegetarian " translates to more than just "without meat"!

Katie Jo Kohls

Huevos de Los Angeles. The cheese stuffed pepper in the middle makes it!

Ken Sitz

Wow, the breakfast quesadilla with chorizo (scrambled egg and cheese ) was fantastic! The Mimosa wasn't bad either"

Flan is trending this week and Cacao Mexicatessen has your fix. Theirs comes complete with whipped cream and almonds .

Samuel Jackson

I love their tortilla soup . Best Mexican restaurant in LA, despite their hit or miss service.

Erika Robbins

You absolutely must try the hot cacao . The duck carnitas are also amazing.

Robert Hall

Mole fries and gringo burrito amazing!!

Erin Scott

Dude... The salsa here is some if the best around. Ask for the habanero and get some to go!

Scott Ross

The Chile relleno taco garnished with uni is OUT OF THIS WORLD!

Erin Scott

Ask for the habanero salsa . It's not too spicy of really goddamn tasty

RobTak

Wouldn't expect it, but the turkey tacos are great! Mayan Feast special (Duck Carnitas & Shredded Venison ) is more than enough for two and super tasty.

Roc Brown

This is place is too good! Carnitas De Pato is a must.

Tracy King

The mission fig mole sauce is really rich and tasty!

darkjen

Good veggie taco options. All wines they serve are from Mexico. Interesting.

chris

Over this place. Been going downhill, the small crowd here tonight is telling. Tell me they are out of my favorite taco after I already paid. Margarita is small and chips straight taste like Doritos.

Claire Armstrong

Corn smut (or corn truffle ) is way more appetizing than it sounds! Try it in a quesadilla or burrito , works great with cheese .

Craig Fowler

Corn truffle tacos are the truth. Before you die, you need to eat like, 30 of then. Add that to your bucket list sheeple.

K P

Avocado fritto taco is delicious

Leyla Tirgari

Corn truffle tacos are delish! Carnitas are yum too.

Scott Rose

Great beer list . Food is of quite high reputation but didn't taste as good as I had hoped.

Karl Hobart

Excellent duck chicharrón and micheladas !

Lily Y.

Get the Carnitas de Pato (Duck Taco )!!

Anastasia McGee

Carnitas de Pato - Duck Tacos - are the best. Try them with a side of rice or salad . For dessert or breakfast , nothing beats Azteca Hot Chocolate . Read more

Art Gomez Tagle

Semi-expensive for what they offered. I liked taco spot better.

Janet Anne Panen

Get the mole fries ! Free chips & salsa too.

Rajat Gupta

Gave it a shot looking at the great Yelp & 4sq reviews. Food was delicious but highly disappointed with the service. Slow and disorganized. But I would go back for the food again.

Claire Armstrong

Now with beer and wine , and soon... an expansion!

Bryan

Easily some of the best tacos in LA.

Liz 🦎

The agave margarita is really good!

Edgar Sarmiento

Good tacos but a tad overpriced.
