Ordered the Canasta Oaxaquena. The meat, cheese and beans were delicious. Everything on our plate, including the tortillas were flavorful. Not only that, the young servers tending to us were very attentive and had great customer service. Wish I could have thanked the elderly lady cook who made our dinner. If you’ve never had this type of Mexican food, it’s a must.

Rice and beans are flavorful. The rice reminds me of the chicken oil rice that comes with hainan chicken. I’m guessing they used chicken stock to cook it. It’s much better than white rice and not mushy. The rellenos peppers were flavorful and molotes were nice as well. Chips a bit burnt but appreciated the fresh tortillas and chips and salsa. They didn’t charge extra for them. Good friendly service. Kids menu of the same items but in smaller portions.

If you are in the area this restaurant should be added to your list! We ordered the Mole Negro with chicken, Flautas Enmoladas, the Agua Fresca of the day (prickly pear), and a Cafe de Olla!
Everything we ordered was incredible and everyone was so nice! My fiancé and I are big mole fanatics and the Mole Negro we both agree is one of the best we have ever had. If we lived here we would certainly be going here all the time!

I was pleasantly surprised to find this jewel in Seaside. I was looking for a Mexican restaurant, and found El Padrino. I like Oaxacan food and decided to give it a try. I’m happy to report that the place is excellent and quite authentic.
I had a Oaxacan taco (in a 10 inches long corn tortilla!). The restaurant agreed to my request to mix beef and pork. The rest of the menu, the “moles”, “tlayudas”, empanadas, etc. looked authentic. You won’t find the usual Mexican food fare: burritos, street tacos, etc, but I didn’t mind. Talking to the staff, they want to focus only on Oaxacan food, which is quite understandable if it helps keep the food quality high. Others didn’t seem to mind, as the restaurant was quite busy for a Saturday afternoon.
Highly recommended. Ready to come back!

We stopped in for a late afternoon meal while visiting Monterey. The restaurant itself is simple and casual, nothing fancy, and it was pretty quiet when we went.
Service was excellent. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome.
Unfortunately, the food just didn’t land for us. My wife ordered the chilaquiles, which were decent but much spicier than expected. I had the four masa tamales, and the flavor simply wasn’t enjoyable. It’s always tough to say that because taste is subjective, but neither dish worked for us.
Prices felt fair, and I appreciate the good service. While it wasn’t a hit for our personal taste preferences, others may feel differently..

Outstanding mole! Tortillas were perfection and handmade. Their aqua fresca of lime and cucumber was choice and very hand made. Prices were great. Restaurant was immaculate and everything had a sense of pride. Come and support this place!

The food was all delicious. We had the 4 molotes, the empanada de mole amarillo, and the taco oaxaqueño with tasajo. Ernesto, our waiter, gave us great recommendations on the food. The decor was colorful and fun. Highly recommend this place.

Authentic Oaxaca Food – 5 Stars
If you’re looking for truly authentic Oaxacan cuisine, this place is a gem! The seasoning in every dish is spot-on — rich, bold, and full of traditional flavor. You can really taste the love and heritage in every bite. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you get, and the customer service is just as amazing. Friendly, welcoming, and attentive staff made the experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone craving real Oaxaca flavor!

Wonderful restaurant! We ate here on New Year’s Day while visiting the area! The food was delicious, plentiful, and unlike other Mexican cuisine we have had before. We even received complimentary bowls of lentil soup and glasses of champagne for the holiday. Service was excellent. Highly recommend.

Taquitos Enmoladas with their mole negro was fantastic! Great flavors, good prices, and friendly service. Our 9 month old has allergies, they were helpful confirming dish ingredients. The Micheladas were delicious as well, we can’t wait to come back
