Casa Gish Bac Cocina Oaxaquena – Authentic Oaxacan Flavors in Los Angeles

Enmolado with egg + horchata + tip tax came out to ~$40. It was tasty but felt lacking for what I payed for. I went during a non busy time. Service was okay, experience was slightly negative (homeless person came in asking for money) not restaurants fault so score is unrelated. I will give this another shot and probably not order the horchata, it was pretty mid and expensive. Mole is amazing though, but meat portion was SUPER lacking. For how thing the meat is I expected a bit more.

If you want to try authentic Oaxacan food this is the spot! Absolutely amazing, delicious and savory food. I had the mole negro and it is authentic, has such a sweet, spicy, savory and delicious flavor. Honestly could not recommend it more it’s so good. The Coloradito was absolutely amazing! The flavor wasn’t just red mole, it was something complete different but equally as delicious! The tlayuda was delicious too, fresh and quality ingredients. I would recommend the horchata Oaxaqueña too

Yo fam, I just ate at this Mexican spot and I’m straight up shook. The flavors? Literally *chef’s kiss*. It’s like a fiesta in my mouth, no cap. The tortas were bussin’—the barbacoa was so tender, I thought I was dreaming. Like, how does something this fire exist in real life? And the salsa? *Spicy* but not in a "I’m gonna regret this later" way—just the right amount of kick. The guac? Bro, it was so fresh I could hear the avocado saying, “I’m ready for you bruh” before I even dipped the chip. No soggy, store-bought vibes here, just straight-up GOATed. Don’t even get me started on the quesadillas. I LIKE MY CHEESE DRIPPY BRUH.Crispy on the outside, melty on the inside—could’ve eaten five and still been vibing. Honestly, this place is the definition of *mood*. If you’re not here, what are you doing with your life? 10/10, highly recommend. Also don't let shawty fanum tax yo food bruh.

First time trying gish bac. I came specifically for the "botana"/sangrita that they serve with the barbacoa de chivo. The place was quite empty for a sunday afternoon. They had live music in the form of a mariachi singer with a DJ. I was hoping to catch up with my friend but it was definitely quite loud and he sang almost the whole time we were there so that made it a bit unpleasant for us since we practically were yelling even though we sat side by side. Service was great, fast and friendly. I ordered the agua de horchata (delicious) barbacoa de chivo (just ok, have had better) and the sangrita (yummy! ). Prices are fair. I may come back if I happen to be in the area again

Authentic Oaxacan food made by authentic Oaxacan people!!! We’re so thankful for the owners attention. Everything was delicious

I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious the restaurant was inside and how tasty the food was! I’ve driven by many times and didn’t realize this a restaurant. I expected having a hard time finding parking but it was the opposite, plenty of parking— at least when we went on a Sunday. The tables inside the restaurant are spread out because of how spacious the place is. My family of 7 (6 adults and a toddler) enjoyed trying out this restaurant for the first time. My dad raves about his entomatadas and my brother and husband especially liked their green chilaquiles. I was surprised by how much my dad liked the restaurant because he was looking forward to trying a mezcal but they don’t sell liquor, so you know that means he truly enjoyed the food!

If you want to try authentic Oaxacan food 100% this is the spot!!!! Honestly the tlayuda was very delicious, was so fresh but it couldve used a little more beans but still it was good. I would also recommend the horchata Oaxaqueña it hit the spot! The place was very clean also the restroom i loved it because it had a sink and baby changing spot .

The salsas and meat marinade is top of the line recipes. Glad to have found this in the neighborhood.
