                                                              I was very disappointed that there were no tlayudas available. That was the main reason we came. Additionally, the molcajete is a much smaller portion now, with hardly any cheese, and the bowl wobbled terribly which made it difficult to eat. Not sure I will return with so many other options to choose from.

Our fajitas came out without the tortillas and sides which did not follow for 10 minutes. Unfortunate as our fajitas cooled off in the meantime. I hope it's a one time issue and I would recommend this place as the food and atmosphere is very good but it seemed like we had to keep asking for things. No one came to check to see if we needed anything.

                                                              It had been many years since I ate at Casa Oaxaca but the recent reviews were "exceptional" so I thought I would try it again. The evening started out not so great...I sat for about 15 minutes as multiple servers walked past me with no acknowledgement. The restaurant had some customers but not crazy busy. When I finally flagged someone down they said they were waiting for the rest of my party to arrive. I did manage to order a drink (spicy pineapple margarita...which wasn't spicy!) and the night got better. Was it the margarita or that my party arrive ;-) We ordered at our own pace and that was great. The guac was tasty as was the queso with the chorizo. The carne asada was the most flavorful of our 4 dishes. The others were OK but not great. They did accommodate us with adding a 4th taco since we were sharing and there were 4 of us, which we greatly appreciated. So overall - guess it's a good neighborhood spot with nice outdoor seating (they need to make the happy hour prices outside!).
