This place rocks! If you're looking for Dumbed-Down Mexican, stay away. Here you'll find reasonable prices, "real" portions of food (not the huge platters that you get at Azteca) sized so that you should order to share, and menu items that you probably won't find anywhere else in town. We had the Chicken mole tamale, Pork soft taco, Chicken mole, and the dessert tamale. The savory dishes were wonderful. I'd pass on the dessert tamale the next time and order another dinner item to share instead. Parking can be difficult, they don't take reservations, and the wait can be loooooooong. So worth it! BTW - We sat next to a couple that was very knowledgeable of the Oaxacan people and region and they ordered some Chapulines (fried grasshoppers -not on the menu!) to go with their beers. If you're brave enough, try them. They are brought out in a small clay dish. I didn't care for them. They tasted like roasted tobacco or something akin to that.
