El Texate - Santa Monica

Best authentic margaritas in town lovely service and really relaxed ambiance. Highly recommend for a drink or the food.

Fantastic food and great service. The mole (I had carnitas with mole Amarillo) was absolutely delicious, with four different kinds on the menu. I’ll definitely be back!

The food here is outstanding. Exquisite guacamole, delightful mole, the best carnitas I’ve ever had and salsa that’s addictive. This restaurant should be packed every night. Fantastic food!

It is the worst place I have ever eaten in the first place because of their discrimination towards other people. I arrived and asked for a table outside and they told me that it was closed outside and then they asked me for the vaccination card, ok. I ordered a tlayuda that has nothing to do with the original tlayuda, it had mozarella cheese instead of Oaxaca cheese, and then other customers arrive and ask if they are asking for the vaccination card. The same lady who asked me, I tell them no and then others arrive asking for a table outside and if they were given a table... the food has nothing to do with Oaxacan food, it is an insult to say that you are from Matatlán...

Great hole-in-the-wall find with unique Special of the Day! The staff was super nice and accommodating. Drinks and food did not disappoint! The place was clean with fun vibes. We 'll be back when visiting.
