After buying a couple of beers in a store a block away, which the son of the owners pointed out to us, we settled in for dinner. Laura ordered a taco and I ordered a gordita for appetizers; in a word, superb. We were given mason jars for our beers. Laura ordered the mole poblano; I ordered a chile relleno. Weve been to Oaxaca, and I can faithfully say that the mole of "La Morada" is as good as one we had in Oaxaca. A bit spicy, deeply chocolate-y, thick, fantastic. My chile was sublime. The rice and beans we were served were themselves wonderful. And the three tortillas we were each given were perfect for mopping up the mole and the chiles sauce. I ordered a Oaxacan hot chocolate, and it took me back to Oaxaca: rich in flavor, piping hot, with a hint of cinammon. As I carefully sipped my hot chocolate, the owner brought me a serving of pumpkin sauce, which was also simply perfect: imagine applesauce, same consistency, not sweet, but with just a hint of sweetness. Topping it all off, the family who runs the restaurant is very friendly. We conversed with the son and the daughter, and their mother then spoke to us at some length. And when we left, she held the door for us! Very highly recommended; this is a marvelous place to have a meal in a warm atmosphere.

First off the atmosphere is so cute. I felt like I was in their home and they were so welcoming and friendly. I ordered the taco bowl and it was amazing ! The steak cooked to perfection and so well seasoned and the bowl itself was so crispy and perfect! Then I ordered their homemade lemonade which Was amazing. My first time here and not my last

Excellent food, though the interior of the restaurant could use a bit of a makeover. Definitely some of the best Mexican food Ive had in NY thus far. Come here for the food and try not to mind the decor too much (though the bookshelf in the back does have a bit of a home-y appeal to it).

Delicious! I was excited to see a Oaxacan Mexican place while searching for dinner options and was not disappointed. The Mole Negro with Chicken was phenomenal and the Molcajete with Steak and Chicken was wonderful. A great find! Marcos was a pleasure and very humble and accommodating.

Good place to get some Mexican food however my only concern is the steak has a bit of fat in it and find myself having to stick my hands in my mouth to remove the fat pieces. Other than that I love their food. My favorite plate is there enchiladas con salsa verde!

For authentic Oaxaca Mexican cuisine this is the place to be. The family is amazing and sweet, service is great and you feel like youre eating in someone’s home. The Moles are divine! Hey, even Mayor Bill de Blasio has eaten here!
