Poncho’s Tlayudas - South Los Angeles

Image
A couple of coworkers and I had been talking about going out for Oaxacan  food and one of  them knew about  a place in South LA. We gathered up a few others after work one Friday afternoon and headed to  Poncho’s Tlayudas . Look for this sign, cause it’s “Tlayudas Friday” AND it leads to the backyard. (talk about being in the know) Head down the driveway and order at the grill. They only serve Tlayudas, a traditional Oaxacan dish, but you select the meat: (They don’t have a menu, but here are the choices) Asada - grilled beef Chorizo - Spanish sausage  Tasajo - Oaxacan-style beef steak Moronga - pork blood sausage Like any backyard party, look for the refrigerator  for drinks, help yourself. Beer, Water, Coca-Cola ($5) I love the spoon artwork on the back wall Tlayuda $10 Served on a very large crispy tortilla with a siento (a dark lard), beans,  cabbage and Oaxacan cheese. Your meat choice is served on the side. The picture doesn’t show how  large the tortilla is, maybe 18” in diamet
