Tlayudas, Memelas, and Huaraches at Tamix Oaxaca

Tlayudas, memelas, and huaraches all appear in the Oaxacan Plates section at Tamix Oaxaca. They share some ingredients, but each listing has its own combination of toppings and choices. Comparing those details is a useful way to decide what to order at the South Los Angeles restaurant.

Tlayudas: Cabbage, Avocado, and Oaxacan Cheese

The tlayuda is layered with blended pork rind paste, black bean paste, cabbage, tomato, avocado, and Oaxacan cheese. The Spanish menu names the pork component asiento. The listed meat choices are tasajo, cecina, or chorizo.

Start here if that mix of cabbage, avocado, and cheese sounds like the plate you want. Choose from the tlayuda’s listed meats when placing the order.

Memelas: Two Pieces With a Quesillo Option

The memelas come as two pieces with asiento, black beans, and fresh cheese. Quesillo is listed as an option, and the menu shows versions with or without meat.

The without meat listing still describes a base that includes asiento. If you avoid pork or other ingredients, ask the team about the preparation before choosing a dish.

Huaraches: Lettuce, Tomato, Fresh Cheese, and Crema

The huarache is described as a homemade corn tortilla layered with black beans, lettuce, tomato, fresh cheese, and sour cream. Its meat choices are asada, al pastor, or chicken.

Those choices differ from the meats listed for the tlayuda. Use the description for the dish you want when deciding, especially if you already have a particular meat in mind.

Compare the Details Before Ordering

The quickest way to choose is by toppings and meat: cabbage and quesillo with the tlayuda, the two piece memela order, or lettuce and crema with a huarache. See the current Oaxacan Plates menu for prices and details, and the location page for directions to 6319 S Avalon Blvd.
