Tlayudas Oaxaca Grill - Chicago

Delicious food and excellent service. I highly recommend it!

This restaurant is known for its tlayudas, which are similar to Mexican pizzas. You can customize them however you'd like, but the typical order includes a layer of beans, followed by cheese and meat, all on a crispy tortilla. I tried one with half steak and half chorizo, and I found the chorizo side to be slightly better.

I was really disappointed with the $14 “empanada” I tried. I ordered a vegetarian version, but it was more like a quesadilla. The tortilla was very dry, and I couldn't taste any epazote or yerba santa. It had about a dollar's worth of cheese, and the rest was just lettuce. They also add an extra 4% charge when you pay with a card, which they misleadingly call a cash discount. I felt a bit cheated. On a positive note, the red salsa was delicious, and their agua de tamarindo was solid and flavorful.

VERY BAD. They took so long to deliver the food. The food could at least be good and hot but no the food was cold and wasn’t that good. I wouldn’t recommend getting food. What a waste of 78 dollars.

The worse service ever starting from the girl that places ordes to the cook that does not know what a quesadilla has inside and if its a hand made tortillas or its from a vendor.
