I live in West Hollywood, but I stayed in the Mid-City area for three weeks. La Yalaltequita quickly became my personal cantina. I sampled a variety of dishes from the simple menu of Oaxacan staples. They were all excellent.

I've eaten a lot of Mexican food in my life. La Yalaltequita is one of my top experiences. Subtle spicing, robust flavors that still retain the taste of the ingredients.

It has to be one of L.A. best-hidden secrets; if it weren't, there would be a line around the block regularly. Even the hibiscus tea is like nothing I've tasted in Mexico, rich, smooth, just flavorful enough.

It's a bakery with just a few tables. The bread is heaven, too.

Had a torta de asada for lunch. Great portion for the price! The torta comes with pickled jalapeños so if you don’t like any spice, make sure to ask they leave them out.

Kind employees, great food. Definitely don’t miss out checking out this new place in town!

I stopped by to buy some bread at that store, and I was craving a tlayuda, so when I went to pay for the bread I ordered the tlayuda, but the employee who helped me didn't seem to like taking my order, she told me that for the next one I should order first and then choose the breads or that it would be better to order by phone, when the moment I entered there were like four people in line waiting and I don't understand why I wanted to order while I was there, I'm going to pay them anyway, they're not going to give it to me for free, the employee is someone who wears glasses and has acne on her face, like she's about 30 years old. 👎🏼
