Master Critic Review

Monte Alban Restaurant 8.4
West LA
Vibes: Comfort Food Classics Family Friendly Favorites Group Dining Gatherings
A long-running Oaxacan anchor in West LA, Monte Alban is all about deep moles, tlayudas, and hearty plates that feel handmade. The dining room is casual and family-styled, but the food is serious, especially the complex sauces. Not the latest closing spot, yet reliably strong for later dinners.
Must-Try Dishes: Mole Negro, Tlayuda with Tasajo, Barbacoa de Chivo
Scores:
Value: 8 Service: 8.2 Consistency: 8.6 Food Quality: 8.9 Atmosphere: 7.1 Cultural Relevance: 8.3
What makes it special: Oaxacan moles done with depth and consistency.

When to visit: Dinner, especially weeknights.
What to order: Mole negro, tlayuda, goat barbacoa.
