This place is so delicious! An amazing homemade flavor that makes me feel as if it is my grandma's cooking. My favorite place to eat so far in Salem, OR
Love it. Great Oaxacan food. Friendly prompt service. Nice homey feel. Families seem to like it , worker crews, couples like it too.

So yummy !!!!! We live down the street and wanted to try it out.Best chicken tacos I’ve had in salem ( others in salem usually have no flavor )Asada was melt in your mouth amazing.Guacamole was subtle but delicious !Prices are a bit higher for street tacos. $3.00 each but the flavors are super good so it makes up for it.Probably won’t be able to come often but it’s still super good and I’d recommend it to everyone ! ?

Delicious homemade Oaxacan dishes at reasonable prices and great portions. This restaurant offers a tasty alternative to traditional Mexican food. I ordered the mole enchiladas which are stuffed with shredded chicken and topped with fresh cheese, onions, and parsley over a sweet and mild authentic mole paste. Paired my dish with a cold agua de chilacayota (fig gourd water). If you're in need of a region specific Mexican dish, check out El Valle Oaxaqueno!

I love that it’s a different variety of food on the menu and it all seemed really authentic and well presented. I got the enchiladas de mole and the sopes. Sopes were very tasty, I especially liked the deep fried shell. Enchiladas de moles had such a unique flavor, I’ve had mole before but mostly as a dipping sauce, so the flavor was a bit overpowering to me as the sauce for the enchiladas. That’s entirely my own taste, I think they were well made for those that know this dish. It was a decent meal, but there’s a lot of competition in Salem that appeals to me more.
Excellent authentic Food! Lot's of variety that you don't see elsewhere. I'm going back with another person and getting the tlayuda.

We stumbled upon the reviews of this place and went there right away. Delicious, authentic regional Mexican food - I wish there were more places like it! We had the enchiladas de mole and molotes, both were incredible and very filling. They have some Oaxacan imports and pantry items for sale, we took home some mole paste and pinole mix we can't wait to try. We will be back many times!

SO GOOD! Me and my fiancé came here on a whim as we were starving and it was within walking distance. That was the best choice ever. The food is so good, seriously. We have been on the hunt for the best food in Salem and we found it. The hunt is over. We will definitely be back again and again.

Stopped by today to try for first time. I'm always looking for good mole. Had the chicken enchiladas with dark mole, rice & beans. The good: Mole was very flavorful. The bad: the chicken in the enchiladas was very dry and chewy. The beans were flavorless, and the rice was dry and cold. I would have mentioned this to staff, but was not asked how the food was. Won't be back.
