Poncho's Tlayudas - Los Angeles

Poncho’s Tlayudas brings authentic Oaxacan flavors to Los Angeles with their signature tlayudas – massive crispy tortillas topped with beans, cheese, and choice of protein, cooked over smoky charcoal. The star attraction is their house-made moronga (blood sausage), a traditional recipe from the Oaxacan highlands that food critics call ‘revelatory.’ Open only Fridays 4pm-11pm, this backyard operation features live music and serves tlayudas with tasajo (dried beef), chorizo, and their famous moronga that ‘transports you to Oaxaca with every bite.’ Customers rave about the authentic smoky flavors and generous portions, with one reviewer noting the moronga as ‘easily the best blood sausage I’ve ever had.’ The casual outdoor setting and communal tables create an authentic mercado atmosphere. Cash only. Expect lines and arrive early as they often sell out.
