"You know when you’re in your car on a tree-lined street during summertime with the windows rolled down, blasting ’80s hits, and nothing can bring you down? You’ll get the same feeling at La Cocina Oaxaqueña. It’s easy to get in no matter how many people you’re with, the chips are fried to order, and the salsa is free and unlimited. You could stop there and have a fantastic time, but get some al pastor tacos, camarones al mojo de ajo, or a big plate of rich pork mole with perhaps the fluffiest rice on Earth, too. If we didn’t have to write the rest of this guide, we’d slam our laptops shut and go there right now." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
