We’re so glad we found this place! The cozy decor creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the food was absolutely wonderful. It reminded me of the kind of meals I’d enjoy at my aunt’s house in San Luis Potosí. I had the chicken fajitas and my boyfriend had the barbacoa—both were full of flavor and delicious. I’d love to come back next time we visit LA.

Absolutely delicious food. We had the black mole enchiladas and tacos. The enchiladas are stuffed so beautifully full of chicken. No filler. Excellent. Shrimp tacos are to die for. It takes a while to get service. The staff seem to mostly stay in the back.

The mole sauces are great! I especially like the red mole as it has a little kick to it, just perfect. If you get enchiladas, you can ask for both sauces and try them side by side. Carnitas is the way to go! Mexican hot chocolate is great too!

Best mole I’ve had, and the mole covered burrito was absolutely delicious! The thing that surprised me most was the grilled vegetables though! They were so good, the spices were fantastic and the veggies were grilled to perfection.
Highly recommend!

Zero stars!! I am not sure if all the reviews are legit or sponsored. We wanted to try a new place in Culver City. We sat down outside & there was not a single person in sight. I was surprised that nobody was even there and the only human being was a young lady who quickly took our order & seemed inconvenienced. I asked if they had taco tues or margaritas. Her quick reply was “No sorry, we don’t do that & we only have one house margarita”. My friend was visiting from out of town since we work in television & were at one of the studios down the street. We decided to order a margarita and enchiladas. Our food came out so fast, lukewarm . I am a local LA patron, born & raised and I know my Mexican food. We came here on a Tuesday around 4pm. I DO NOT recommend this place, the food nor the atmosphere unless you are desperate for a quick meal. Our waters were never refilled either. If you are desperate for a quick meal, El Polo Locco may have better food than this place & you can actually see them grilling. If you’re new to LA, please go to El Coyote in Hollywood. Avoid this place unless you want to spend $$$ on microwaved meals.

Back again and sampled their Chicken Chile Rellenos-
EK, never disappoints. Tender chicken filling, complex but balanced and delicious sauce, beautiful presentation and breaded to perfection. Will be back!

Revisited EK to sample the mole, I ordered the red mole and it was rich, authentic; reminded me of the mole I experienced in Oaxaca – served with rice, squash and a warm a smile. Will continue to explore their menu. Their salsa is also very good

Grabbed a quick bite at this eatery, comfortable outdoor seating with plenty of shade, there was a nice breeze on the day I visited – very pleasant. I ordered 2 tacos, shrimp and fish – I wasn’t a huge fan of the fish taco but the shrimp more than made up for it, realz good. I’ll be back to explore their mole. Great service

Do not recommend. My friend & I went to try new place in our neighborhood in Culver City. Food was terrible lukewarm microwaved cold plate..rice & beans tastes like it was from a can. Price was 22$ for an enchilada. Overall the server was unfriendly and seemed annoyed by being there. I know tonssssss of places in LA that have phenomenal food and service! Then she says they “don’t have a drink menu” they only sell one house margarita which was 15$ and tasted like pre-mix. I’ll pay 100$ for a cocktail IF it’s good and unfortunately this tasted like cheap tequila and premade drink mix. Not even fresh lime juice for a margarita? There are soooooo many great places in LA for Mexican food or Oaxanacan food. This place misses the mark in food taste, quality and service.

Some of the best shrimp tacos in LA!! I usually order those and a Clayuda (absolutely delicious also) but they were out so the so the server suggested the Chile relleno and it was fantastic! The sauce is so flavorful and fresh!! I’ll be back for that very soon!
