    I TRIED THE ENCHILADAS CAMPESINAS.
    DELICIOUS. AND I GOT A HORCHATA WITH FRUITS ON THE TOP.
    BUT LEAVE ROOM FOR THE PLATANOS FRITOS,SLICED FRIED PLANTAINS WITH SWEET CREAM AND NUTS. VERY GOOOOD.
    I AM A SPANISH TEACHER IN FULLERTON CA; AND I AM TAKING MY CLASS TO THIS PLACE. THE SERVICE IS OK AND THE MUSIC MAKES YOU FEEL THE PLACE.
    GREAT OAXACAN RESTAURANT
