From mole negro slow-cooked for hours to hand-pressed tortillas and fresh-baked pan dulce — every dish at Oaxaca Cafe carries the warmth of family tradition into your neighborhood in Inglewood.
Loved by locals for honest flavors and a kitchen that cooks with care.
Oaxaca Cafe Mexican Grill began with a simple conviction: that the food your abuela made should be the food your neighbors taste, too. We brought that promise from the heart of Oaxaca to Inglewood, where Crenshaw Boulevard brings people together the way markets and plazas do back home.
Our kitchen starts early — dough is pressed by hand, chiles are toasted one batch at a time, and our moles are stirred for hours until they reach the depth they deserve. We source locally when we can and import the rest directly, because shortcuts don't belong in this kind of cooking.
Whether you're joining us for a quick breakfast of fresh pan dulce and cafe de olla, a working lunch, or a Sunday gathering around a table full of mole and laughter — you're welcome here. This is more than a restaurant. It's our home, shared with you.
Behind every plate is a team that takes pride in what they do. Here's a glimpse into the rhythm of our kitchen and dining room.
We're right on Crenshaw in Inglewood — easy to find, easy to park, and always ready to welcome you. Stop by for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
