Sabores Oaxaqueños East Hollywood

Sabores Oaxaqueños has expanded from its beloved Koreatown location to East Hollywood, and the second outpost delivers everything fans loved about the original with one game-changing upgrade: a proper parking lot. Gone are the days of circling the block—now you can pull right up and focus on what really matters, which is some of the finest Oaxacan cooking you’ll find anywhere in Los Angeles.

The menu stays true to its roots, featuring the same authentic dishes that made the original a neighborhood essential, plus a few sampler platters unique to this location. If you’re adventurous, try the chapulines (fried grasshoppers), but the real star is the goat birria. This isn’t your standard taco—it’s a forearm-sized creation stuffed with deeply smoky, tender goat meat, wrapped in a pillowy house-made tortilla that practically melts in your mouth. The tlayuda mixta is another must-order, a massive Oaxacan crispy flatbread that’s meant to be shared and demolished among friends.

The space itself is just as inviting as the food. Bright pink and orange walls create a cheerful, colorful atmosphere that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. Grab a sweet concha pastry and a steaming mug of cafe de olla, and you’ve got yourself a perfect afternoon hangout spot.

Whether you’re craving an authentic taste of Oaxaca or just need a reliable spot for a satisfying casual meal, this East Hollywood gem delivers. It’s the kind of place where the food speaks for itself, the vibe is welcoming, and the parking situation actually works in your favor—a rare LA trifecta.
